Posting this, as I have a close hacker friend who claims he has now become hyper-sensitive to electric/magnetic fields for the last few years, and has all kind of bizarre symptoms like dizziness, headaches etc when for example he is in a car/plane or near cell towers.

Quite frankly, I didn't hide the fact that I thought it might actually be self-induced in some ways -- ie inverse placebo... But that paper seems to be confirming his theory. Well some of it at least.
The overwhelming majority of space taken by games is HD or 4K assets, not code in any language or plaintext script. I can't even think of a single game that is 600GB off the top of my head, the latest huge AAA: Doom, Halo and Witcher are all under 100GB I believe and still considered too heavy on users in Australia, users with bad connections, etc. (and again - vast majority of that is assets, not any code). The biggest game I actually have on my HDD now is around 60GBs and the exes and dlls take under 50 MBs, it's FFXII with both English and Japanese in it and there is a guide on Steam on removing one of the languages content to bring it down to 30GB. And the latest "don't worry about it, CPU/RAM/HDD is cheap" framework for "native" applications lately was not Qt, GTK+, LCL, etc. but actually a 'JavaScript' technology - Electron - notorious thanks to shenanigans of Slack and Atom.

Between the multiple exclamation points, emotes, PR fluff and the content itself I was actually unsure if this is a parody account or not but it seems to be a genuine Microsoft person.

How could anyone here answer that question? It's not specific enough to answer. Could it be difficult to do? Yes. Are you trying to claim it's impossible, that people are actually truly trapped? It's not impossible, they are not truly trapped.

Nothing about UBI is opposed to free markets, unless you think paying taxes is not compatible with free-market capitalism.

NatWest are particularly terrible. Last time I checked, in-branch they were still using Internet Explorer to visit an http (not https) site on their intranet to launch via Java Web Start a thin client to log in to their (I assume) mainframe to actually do things.

There's a number of places in that chain of events that something could go nastily wrong, despite them owning every part of that chain.

This is a bit of a tangent but...

"Redistribution" is in itself a frame. Generally in modern discourse it means post earnings income redistribution. UBI, dole, income taxes, pensiins..

There is (just in terms of all options) also the distribution of earnings, the distribution/redistribution of wealth, and the distribution of wealth accumulation. All these affect the disparities and their trends. There are very few policies acting on these. Income taxes, not wealth taxes. Income support, not wealth building. There was some very controversial talk of pay caps or limits to ceo-janitor pay ratios... But this is outside of the main avenues of normal policies.

Most of what we (wealthy liberal democracies) "do" in this regard directly to affect disparities is post earnings redistribution and (substantially) distribution of consumption (public services like schools and health services).

..no concluding point... :)
Nuclear strike is a topic for itself since I think nobody will use it but:

> Germany will not commit to defend baltic states if Russia plays the Crimea Russian minority shenanigans.

...is a weird statement. Where do you get this from? Besides the fact that "Germany" would never do anything by themselves, I'm pretty sure they wouldn't hesitate to join an European/NATO force to defend those countries. The "shock" here wouldn't be even half as hard as it was before Yugoslavia broke apart and Germany had to send soldiers into war again. Today there is not even a relevant party in the german parliament that could theoretically stop that involvement.

I'm pretty sure some in Russia want to believe that Germany wouldn't join Europe/NATO since Russia is in fact the weak party here but I don't believe Putin is that naive.
But there is no technical reason not to include other languages in 5.1? I would get the argument for DVDs and maybe live TV, but not for streaming...

It most definitely helps with being seen as a professional and as a business rather than an anonymous set of TLAs. I refer potential clients to the testimonials on my website and to blog posts relevant to the clients' problems.

The testimonials establish trust that I can deliver on my promise and indeed have done so for other clients in the past.

The blog posts give potential clients an idea of my expertise and perhaps can already help them with a problem they're having (like choosing a testing approach for their software, for example). Probably the most important aspect I learned about sales conversations is that those shouldn't be actually about selling but about trying to understand where the client is coming from, what his or her problems are and about trying to provide possible solutions right from the very start. The resources I provide on my website help me a lot with this.

In terms of getting new leads it's not like my website gets a whole lot of organic traffic from search engines. That does happen from time to time but by itself it wouldn't be enough for having a sustainable business.

What routinely happens though is that potential clients google my name and find my website as the first search result. Again, this helps with establishing a professional relationship and informing the client about what I can bring to the table.

I write regular blog posts (one per week at least) on subjects relevant or related to my business and post excerpts and teasers on social media and business networks like LinkedIn and XING. This helps a lot with getting new leads from my extended network (again, networking is key).

I don't mind the info in your profile nor the affiliate links on your blog. Quite to the contrary, keep them, keep adding content that's useful for others. Promote it, make money off it - everyone wins in that case. Useful content for me, money for you, I'm absolutely in favor of that. All I'd expect in that case is to be a little liberal when others do.
Nonsense. A person with a non-terrible credit rating can max-out around $16,000 using multiple credit cards. It's not a great idea, but I've seen it done, and confirmed that it's not a good idea. But if your alternative is a life of misery - escape!

Also, it's highly unlikely that moving will be as expensive as $16,000 anyways. Perhaps $6,000-$7,000 for a small family of two?

You don't have to ignore it, but you need to take into account that a stereotype that's say 60% accurate is still wrong 40% of the time. That difference can affect the optimal course of action tremendously. E.g. if the appropriate response to seeing a criminal is to call the police, applying the "gypsy = criminal" stereotype would lead to the prosecution of many innocent people.

Of course if you are able to accurately take probabilities and uncertainty into account when making decisions, you can make good use of observed correlations; but most people tend to be better at dealing with deterministic rules (I certainly am) and need to consciously remind themselves not to overestimate the accuracy of a stereotype.

This paper doesn't propose propelling the boat magnetohydrodynamically, but rather using magnetohydrodynamics to alter the movement of the water around the boat to reduce its drag. MHD for propulsion has been doable for a long time (anecdote: someone built a small MHD drive for my high school science fair). Turns out they're pretty inefficient, so not very practical.

Also, as an aside: MHD propulsion was only the mechanism that powered the sub in the movie. In the book, it was an impeller.
Hmm... maybe it is like that,too. I'd have to do some research.
thanks, interesting read.
though it basically comes down to bad opsec on anna-senpai's part
It is in some countries. The logic is: if you lock your car, it is harder to steal. If it's stolen because you left it open, it's your fault and you pay for police time and investigation. If a policeman sees your car unlocked they can give you a ticket for leaving that way.
Thanks for it! I am also using Fish happily for interactive terminal work. Not so much for scripting as I am lazy to learn the new syntax.

What I don't like is that after hitting Tab twice when doing path completion, the list of possibilities comes out, allowing arrow keys to be used for selection. The problem is that it requires pressing Enter to confirm the suggestion and I fear of executing the command with incomplete path prematurely (it's just one more Enter hit away).
You could consider it a crime to help facilitate actions that can be a danger to the society and individuals, like others have explained elsewhere in comments. This would be similar to unregulated lotteries, ponzi schemes, smoking bans, etc.

I definitely don't agree about criminalisation of cryptocurrencies (which also didn't happen), but there are valid points that are not only about stealing wealth.
> sorry but $100K is not a lot of income these days

Did you click the link in the post you're answering to? Among many other interesting things, it says: "Of those individuals with income who were older than 15 years of age, approximately 50% had incomes below $30,000 while the top 10% had incomes exceeding $95,000 a year in 2015." The source it gives is this, from the Bureau of Labor Statistics: https://www.bls.gov/news.release/pdf/wkyeng.pdf

You're right that there is regional variation, some of which you can explore at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_U.S._states_by_income and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_United_States_counties.... By no measure are you "pretty f'ing middle class" in CA or NY if you earn $100K a year.
As a US citizen, I see just handing out cash as a terrible way to fix this poverty. With the way our society operates, I'd put my money that whatever UBI is distributed, most of it will be leveraged upwards in creative and manipulative ways without very many productive gains.

Poverty is a complex issue because there are so many different causes behind it and they are often intertwined. A few reasons off the top of my head: systemic oppression and social prejudices, mental health, desperation, poor self-perception, lack of opportunity, irresponsible handling of money, ineffective upbringing, bad set of cards, medical problems (and the often accompanying debt), terrible education, malnutrition, a system that largely blames the impoverished for being so, rich people who get to set their own definition of charity for financial gain, and the list goes on and on ...

It'll never happen, but I think a much better solution would be defining a set of basic needs where more money != better quality: healthcare, food, education, housing.

Sounds crazy, doesn't it? Especially that last one.

Thats actually pretty easy to do, if you are from the US, and can get a job in say Denmark, where you can support yourself. And your kids will get free college, scholarships and affordable daycare. You will need privat insurance for healthcare initialy i believe.

You don't live in a country bordering Russia, do you? Historically Russia has been behaving aggressively and recklessly since at least 18th century, without much stop. Russia's western neighbors flock to NATO for a reason. Basically Russia is the bully of the neighborhood, using violence whenever it doesn't get whatever it wants.

Yeah, we have heard that before. This is always said in such circumstances (if only Poland agreed to exterritorial corridor, Germany would not attack it).
This so much. Greetings from Poland. Russia's cries about promises and "zones of influence" are basically cries about being unable to send tanks on a whim to a country which doesn't want to be a Russian colony.

It doesn't matter. If Chinese, Thai, US, Spanic or Russian company wants to sell their device in Europe they have to comply to CEER (Council of European Energy Regulators) regulations, we need similar regulating body for software. Since we have lamps and phone chargers that don't blow power sockets and don't burn houses, we need software that doesn't blow Internet and burn cables.
Maybe someone from the US can clarify this for me: are people upset about this as an indicator for the economic changes happening at the moment, or are they genuinely concerned about the malls themselves?

Never having left Europe myself, I could relate to the former, but not to the latter. What makes those malls so... relevant?
Objecting to school policy is extremely hard, I remember one time I got pulled aside by a vice principal who was new to my grade, trying to nab me for a minor code of conduct violation on a code I'd never agreed to. Told him to pound sand unless he could produce a signed copy of the code of conduct showing I'd agreed to it. Got my parents involved along with a few other people from the PTA, but no luck.

He did make my life rather poor for a year or two, but I told him off a few weeks before school was out when he tried to keep a group of students on campus for an after-school event, claiming we couldn't leave. The darker side of me is all too happy to see that he is among the lowest paid administrators at Seattle Public Schools despite his long tenure. My former teachers make more, which I'm glad for!
> Am I wrong about that?

Sorry, but yes :)

The commit is immutable because when you "amend" a commit, git actually creates a new commit object, assigning it a new SHA1 hash. This means that the original contents from before the amend (i.e., the "old" commit) are still accessible via the old SHA1 hash - proving that an "amended" commit is actually a copy of the old one, not an in-place mutation.

Think of it like this - if I copy a text file and edit the copy, would you say that I've "mutated" the original file? No, right? That's what git does - it never actually mutates a commit :)

EDIT: to clarify further, git identifies each commit with a unique SHA1 hash which is assigned when the commit is created, and that hash depends on the contents of the files + the current timestamp + the SHA1 of its parent commit + some other things. Which means, if you try to edit the contents of the commit in any way at all (or even if you create another commit with the same exact files at a different time, or as a child of a different commit), its SHA1 hash will be different, i.e., it is a new commit by definition.
Dan Bell's Dead Mall Series is oddly depressing and he often gives some back story into their declines.

https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLNz4Un92pGNxQ9vNgmnCx...

A common theme appears to be either struggling footfall or the fact that what I guess are major US anchor stores (Maceys, Sears, KMart) going through tough times. Once the anchors move out, it becomes difficult to run the mall.

Interestingly, in one video, the Mall was half turned into offices, and it had a thriving food hall which I thought was a great idea to keep it relevant. No other dead malls in the series appear to adapt so they become ghost towns then abandoned and later demolished.

A shame really.

As a German reading the German press I think any government except the current conservative one would wiggle out of any NATO operation in the baltic states.

Support for the Yugoslavia effort was mainly based on the genocide there and some people felt some obligation because of the holocaust and German war crimes in Yugoslavia during WW2. It's exactly the opposite with Russia. Contrary to every evidence Russia is seen as a victim by large parts of the population.

"Russia is in fact the weak party"

With Crimea, South Ossetia, Abkhazia etc. etc. Russia doesn't look like the weak party to me.
5-10% is common in my experience for an early employee with a “co-founder” title at company at this stage. Critically, they already raised money, so you are not taking as much risk as the founders. You are an employee, and a founder in title only.

That said, my approach would be to offer them two options. Either they give you 5% with a market rate (100k+) salary, or they give you 15% with the shit salary. They can’t afford to pay you market rate, so they’ll choose the shit salary, but likely bring you down to 11%.

It all comes down to what you’re worth to them. If they’re screwed without you, and you are prepared to walk away, then you’ll get the terms you want.

Keep in mind that 5%, or 15% or even 90% will likely be worth nothing ever. Money now is good. The pivot is a bad sign. If they can’t afford to pay you beyond a shit salary, that’s a bad sign too. It sounds like the founders have no direction and just want to coast along until their VC money dries up.
do people still use piratebay ? there are better alternatives now
In New Zealand and Australia (and I'm sure many other places, but those are the ones I know first-hand) malls also feature supermarkets, post offices, and banks. They're designed to be a destination for not just "recreational" shopping but day-to-day errands. Always missed that when in US malls, and apparently they're still not cottoning on.
Germany allowing Poland to join NATO is a brilliant move on their part.

If NATO ended at the German border, and a conflict with Russia arose, the front of that war would be on German territory. Having a war fought within borders is devastating, and Germany knows that first-hand.

Allowing Poland means that if there is a serious border intrusion, the war will be fought in Poland's territory. Poland is western Europe's buffer against Russian expansion.

The question that remains is how hard and how far will Russia need to push before NATO responds with force.

We've already seen that Russia's expansion into Georgia resulted in nary a blip of a response. Annexation of Ukraine's territory was met with a louder response, but still nothing that would make Russia think twice.

Will an intrusion into one of the Baltic states cause the NATO mutual assurances to kick in? First, I hope we never get to find out. However, if it comes to that, I hope so. Unfortunately, history has shown that I should my hope is likely misplaced. Treaties, like other laws, can be amended, changed, or interpreted in creative ways when it suits the stronger party well.
So was Sweden at the time...

I think your understanding of History is flawed at best.

I like the idea of UBI in theory, but I cannot imagine it won't have any impact on the cost of living.

At the very least, it would force companies contracting minimum/low wage workers to raise wages substantially (because why work on a shitty job if I can have the same money for free ?), which in turn would mean a substantial increase in prices, which in turn would make UBI money not enough to survive for most people relying exclusively on it, and we are back at square one.

UBI seems to me the classic "easy solution for a complex problem", that in practice would create even more problems than the actual system.
In python line continuations are a pre-processing step as far as I'm aware (together with inserting INDENT and DEDENT tokens). In the same vein you could just do a simple loop over the token list and remove the appropriate NEWLINE tokens before going to the actual parsing.
There are 7 million in the 9- county Bay Area, and having lived there for ten years, that is the stat that matters.

http://www.bayareacensus.ca.gov/

Cost of living on the peninsula has already pushed many people to the east and south and even then you don't get much of a break. Land use restrictions mean there is very little new land on which to build and having to jump through eleventy different legal hurdles to do so means that when built, it's already more expensive than many of those in need can afford.

I moved away after being there ten years as a software developer because the cost of living, level of congestion and crowding was obnoxious, and I have no intention of returning. But then, I had that option.
