I recently switched to the Acer XR382CQK 37.5” UltraWide QHD monitor and could not be happier. The curve is just enough that using it manage a couple apps at once on one display is perfect. I also love the extra real-estate you get on the 37.5" vs. a 32/34". I came from a Dell 27" 4K and this has been a big improvement.
I think that there is real risk that the TN could be impacted but I still think that this risk, though real, is low because this would not only hurt Canadians and Mexicans working/seeking to work in the U.S. but U.S. citizens working/seeking to work in Canada and Mexico.
It sounds like Lightning is attempting to solve an unsolvable NP-hard math problem regarding routing. [1]

The Lightening network is mostly a gimmick attempt to save the design failures of scaling from the BTC communities refusal to increase network bandwidth in order to save disk space.

That and for the Lightening network to work without opening up a dozen "deposit channels" into everywhere you shop, users will be pushed into larger liquidity hubs, i.e. payment processor middlemen which is ironic given this is exactly what Satoshi's white paper sought to avoid.

at the cost of 10% more power usage due to the inefficiencies of charging and discharging batteries. Might still be worth it from an electric company's bottom line, but in most markets, it increases greenhouse gas production because we need more kwh of power.

Sorry for the confusion. I agree 100%, and edited to try to make that clearer.

The presence of a single expansionist tribe destabilizes the equilibrium (be it any combination of military, economic, cultural, or political expansionism). Like the suspects being interrogated in separate rooms, each tribe cannot trust all the other tribes to agree to be non-expansionist.

I fear you missed my main point though, which was that this is a completely separate question from whether the system is "superior" (from the perspective of the aggregate well-being of the individuals in the society). Feel free to substitute a different term than "superior" if you prefer, but that's all semantics.

"How did people force their backwoods culture on you?"

I'm not the OP, but this seemed pretty clear:

"I was tired of my state representatives writing my sexual preference off as a disorder. I was angry when the state decided a pharmacist could refuse to sell me birth control and I hated the legislative decree that tried to exert control over what gender got to use the bathroom or not. In short, I did not want to live in a state where the legislature had nothing better to do than fight the culture war to win votes for the next election. Yeah, I cant buy a house in san jose, but at least I dont have to worry about the ten commandments showing up at the DMV in stone or some toothless anti-shariah legislation burning through my tax dollars."
Hi Peter, thanks for doing this AMA. Is it true that your place of birth affects how long it takes to get a Green Card?

I'd like to see Thunderbird focus on separating their mail handling engine from the UI aspects. Much like how the Chrome V8 engine can be used by a variety of projects, it would be nice if a separate open source project could take the Thunderbird engine, and experiment with their own UI.

It would also allow the adoption of newer replacements for IMAP. My hope would be that it could also lead to the replacement of proprietary messaging networks such as Slack, Discourse, etc., with something based on the newer open email format.

I disagree, I think there are some clear ideologies. Support for women choosing whether to have abortions is in one camp, support for so called unborn children is in the other. Diversity is in the dems of course, the Republicans want to protect and emphasize the "traditional white american culture". I'm trying not to be pejorative to either side. There are negative influences that lead to them to have similar views, like the influence of say wall street money has both sides supporting big banks, I think this is what you are really getting at imho when you say there is no ideological differences.
It was CloudFormation that made it difficult -- I had to work out exactly how to get the certificate all the way down to the load balancer's configuration details, starting from CloudFormation's interface into provisioning Elastic Beanstalk.

However, the format ELB would accept a certificate in was really frustrating, too -- I ended up having to create a Lambda function that would load a certificate file from S3 and then parse it and then return the results as a resource CFN could later refer to. If I could've simply provided an S3 URI that the CA lived in, and had the ELB load it up during initial config, I could've used many fewer layers.

The CFN syntax for actually setting those critical ELB details was also unclear, too. It took some experimentation and off-Amazon examples before I finally understood how the rule groupings worked together.

If you're curious about what the final results were, the tail-end of https://github.com/openemr/openemr-devops/blob/master/packag.... covers a lot of that ground. Thanks!

1. So does PostgreSQL...
2. Coding directly in SQL one first normalizes as much as possible, then denormalizes as much as needed to make desired queries performant. If you should need to refactor the schema, things like "rename prop" are trivial, and other things less so, but probably also not automated by most ORMs anyways.
3. Simple joins, sure, but need much more than that and the ORM gets in the way.
4. Well, SQL is lazy.

I totally agree. There are tools for beginners but those are just for beginners -- you have to transition to something else to do real work.

Development is so complex right now but I suspect most programmers in their 20's have no idea how easy it used to be. Now certainly some tasks themselves (like cross-platform development) were near impossible in those times but that's somewhat orthogonal to the point.

Classic case of whataboutism. I didn't see anything discussing the quality of the US mental health system. It's a Canadian website discussing a Canadian case. It failed here and the author of the article is trying to point out where it failed. This is an attempt to prod the system to improve.
Sounds intriguing, but after reading through the website for 5 minutes, I still have no idea how this is supposed to work.

Hi Peter, thanks for answering these questions! My question is related to the H1B1 (for Chile and Singapore). Is this still a visa that's relatively easy to get, even for startups? When I moved to the US it was only a couple of weeks (on my end, as an employee), no window and (virtually) no caps. How is it now for startups compared to the regular H1B? My understanding is that they only need to get the LCA for that position and the candidate can get the visa with that. Is there anything else the startup needs to do that would prevent hiring someone from Chile or Singapore?
I agree. I'm pretty excited about webasm, although I'm nervous about ad-blocking in general.
Yup, there's a network of angel investors here. But most of the VCs tend to invest in very traditional markets, regardless of founder talent. It's more worth your time to fundraise out in the valley and setup shop in the midwest.

Operating costs here are so cheap, and a lot of uninspired talent around. You can tell because of the sheer number of consulting firms in the midwest. There just aren't enough great companies to keep people's interest. Anyone who's worth their salt leaves, and then comes back when they want a family.
CBP and USCIS consistently deny TN applications by founders and owners now so this might be tough. Revenue or funding isn't required but the company must be able to pay the offered wage somehow although documentation of this usually isn't required/requested. An O-1 or an E-2 might be a better option.
Related: I've been looking for a good solution to voice synthesis with style transfer. One obstacle many potential Fallout 4 mods will face is that the protagonist is fully voiced. Imagine a mod author being able to create new voice lines in the same tone+style as the original voice actor.

That does beg the question though; would a voice actor have legal grounds to stop such reproduction?
Well, it's kind of an issue, because it's a similar argument for platforms like Xamarin. A third party still has to keep up with mainline. That means another layer of support, maintenance, dependency… which is not always an issue… but practically speaking is one of the things you eliminate at scale and / or in the rigors of production.

I agree, but I still think Facebook is unusually bad in this respect, and perhaps uniquely so.

Physical products have reasonably comprehensible user experiences. That's even true for much software. Microsoft Word is a beast, but the user experience is tethered by the external reality of what people do with it. Memo writers and novel writers and PhD dissertation writers all have different needs, but it's reasonably clear what their goals are and what successful outcomes look like. There are approximately equivalent tools that can be swapped in.

Facebook, on the other hand, is creating an ongoing experience. My needs are jumbled together with that of my friends, their friends, strangers, news organizations, advertisers, companies, non-profits, celebrities, would-be celebrities, and Facebook itself. And each experience is deeply individualized, adding yet more complexity.

It still probably had some intellectual coherence at a much smaller size. But they have so many people working, and so many of them beavering away at optimizing semi-conflicting metrics based on so much data that I don't believe it makes sense to anybody there. Much less sense than Word makes to its creators, for sure.

Profound philosophy needs to take into account messiness, but cannot be messy itself in its use of concepts, reasoning etc.

By being strict one can realise the limits of the very cognitive tools we use. Godel and Quine come to mind. The concepts are limiting, but that's all we have in philosophy.

The article mentions some exceptions, but it's a completely different playground. Rumi, Lao Tzu and Buddha were using their teachings as a practical instructions, rather than theories aiming to prove anything about the world.

For instance Rumi composed all his verses in a specific rhythms (obviously lost in translation) that, when sang and danced to, were meant to induce a specific states of mind.

Buddha explicitly said that metaphysical questions are orthogonal to the problem of suffering that he was solving (or just meaningless).

To make things even more complex, there are some similarities between teachings of the Buddha and western pragmatists.

The main problem (or the most fun part) in such discussions, is that there's no common ground to make such inter-paradigm comparisons. We always have to pick one of these viewpoints as a base and compare it to another one from that perspective.
> vertically integrated companies are so efficient, and lower costs so much, that they force competitors out of business.

I don't think you would want to argue that driving competitors out of business since antitrust legislation is partly designed to prevent that.

My understanding is that using the lowering of costs as an argument works when the government is concerned with consumers but not when it is concerned with competition. I think the US is the former while the EU is the latter?
I would think most news organisations benefit from fractured media platforms more than a duopoly. If merely because they can risk being banned on one platform if they publish a dissenting opinion about that platform. Those high risk articles often get many clicks, so I imagine they want to publish them if the risk is smaller.

While I like the idea, a potential problem comes to mind. A list of what domains are tracking domains will need to be maintained. The need to maintain that list will possibly move the cat-and-mouse game of ads vs ad-blockers to the tracking list as well. I could totally see Alphabet paying Mozilla to remove analytics.google.com from the tracking domain list (because "it's just analytics; it doesn't track you or infringe on your privacy at all") similar to advertisers paying to be on Adblock Plus' "Acceptable Ads" list.

It might be that nationalising the protocols is enough.

A similar situation arises with the public railways in many countries. Most railways are actually private — the big ones in Japan, the German railway, the various Italian railways. In Italy, multiple companies run trains on the same tracks with competing offerings.

Most of the major European “national” railways can run their trains on each other’s tracks. TGV can go directly to Milan in Italy, and makes multi-stop trips in Switzerland (Basel and then Zurich after crossing the border).

There is a defacto “European railway” that is centrally coordinated but not centrally owned.

I see this very much as a Microsoft problem rather than a Thunderbird problem, although I appreciate that doesn't make your situation better.

I use davmail[1] to solve this problem at work. Davmail sits in your tray, connects to exchange and turns the exchange traffic into standards-compliant mail traffic for your email client.

Of course, you lose some features in the process. About once a month I have to remind HR that the "vote" buttons in exchange are not part of any email client except outlook. Still, it works well for sending/receiving mail and tolerably for handling calendar invites.
