> I've read that "diabetes" actually refers to any disregulation of the insulin response

I am assuming you know the difference between type 1 and 2 diabetes, but for the benefit of other people reading this, please be aware that in type 1 diabetes, the body's response to insulin is irrelevant - the body (pancreas) does not produce insulin at all, and thus it is necessary to inject insulin. It is a wholly different condition from type 2 diabetes.
> You're really going to say all this while pretending a marshmallow is the same thing to a 5-year-old as it is to a 30-year-old?

That... wasn't really the point. OK, replace it with coffee -- do you think an adult would wait 90 minutes for a second coffee they may or may not want when they can already get one instantly?

> And I also don't see how this is relevant unless for some reason you think being poor correlates strongly with being constantly lied to.

You don't why a poor person would be skeptical of the scenario you posed? If you live in an area with homeless people I challenge you to find one of them and do your experiment with $5 and $10 dollars, with 0 and 90 minutes respectively. I guarantee you the homeless person will take the $5.

Anyway, I'm not really sure what we're discussing at this point. My original statement, "People who can delay gratification are likely those who have the means to do so to begin with", is obviously true. Either that or you believe there's no factor that results in certain individuals being able to better delay gratification (whether that's cultural, genetic, or circumstantial). Clearly there must be some factor that's resulting in people being able to delay their gratification to begin with and therefore "have the means to do so to begin with."
Which is the point. In reality the appropriate title is more along the lines: "How media enables Propaganda", so why single out just Facebook when they're just conforming to the industry standard?

You're mistaking "Republicans are right now a steaming heap of awful" with "News and shows are left-leaning".

I'm a huge fan of having a principled, Conservative, political group. They are there to help provide measured, sane, grounding and represent the status-quo in opposition to those who would change it.

That's actually a good thing for Progressives - it helps test the ideas, to forge them into concrete and reliable policy, as well as get rid of ideas that aren't fully formed or have terrible knock-on effects.

I'd love a Conservative group like that. But the Republicans are not it. Some channels are more left-leaning that others but - speaking as someone left wing - only barely.

It's like the show Newsroom - the lead character in that espoused traditional Republican ideals. He was very much a 60s-70s Republican. Yet he was often criticized for being "too liberal". Things that got Regan elected, but not proposed by Democrats, are "too liberal".

News will have bias, obviously. There is no such thing as news without bias, ever. However to someone from originally outside the US the US media is at best centrist. At worst it's absolutely maddeningly right-wing.
Honestly, I'd be willing to consider anything.. but I've seen nothing so far.

The only evidence available right now is code reuse tying similar attacks together, and since people aren't willing to assume that the Sony attack could have been anyone other than North Korea, the rest of these attacks and electronic bank heists 'must be them too'.

Call me skeptical, but this is too large of a pill for me to swallow at face value. We're talking about a country that is purchasing refrigerators but hasn't figured out how to reliably power them yet. [0]

This isn't new, though.

I think people forgive Google for more because they like them. IE did exactly the same thing before Chrome and was roundly (and rightly) admonished for it.

In fairness, Chrome's proposals do seem to be designed with the open web in mind - at least insofar as being items that other projects could reasonably be expected to implement in their engines if they chose to do so.

There's nothing so egregious as IE's DirectX-filters-embedded-in-CSS nonsense - or shudder ActiveX - but it's still not great for the open web as a whole.
General purpose understanding probably won't help you with the specific problem you're having. I know quite a bit about the user space foils of your situation with Apple's EFI firmware, the NVRAM boot entries that point to the bootloader, GRUB2, and the peculiarities of Fedora's installer. And there is really nothing standard about it..

a. Fedora's installer, only on Macs, creates a 2nd "EFI System partition" that's HFS+ formatted. And that's because Apple's EFI firmware can read HFS+ directly, and it enables showing Fedora as a boot option when you boot with the option key held down. This doesn't happen if the bootloader is on the "real" FAT32 EFI system partition, which hilariously Apple doesn't use for booting either, they only use it for staging firmware updates.

Right out of the gate you're in the weeds of super esoteric stuff...

b. That you get a GRUB prompt means the firmware found the GRUB EFI OS Loader binary, which is on that HFS+ faux-EFI System partition. In that same directory should be the grub.cfg, which it should read automatically and display a menu of kernels to boot. Therefore, the GRUB prompt also means the OS Loader isn't finding the grub.cfg.

So you have something of a mystery on your hands and it'll take an autopsy to find out what's going on. First thing would be to use one of the netinstallers (any Fedora edition netinstall image) put onto a USB stick, boot that with the option key, choose Troubleshooting, then Rescue a Fedora system, wait for boot process, pick the first option to find and assemble the system. And then you'll

chroot /mnt/sysimage
grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/efi/EFI/fedora/grub.cfg
exit
reboot

That should work unless there are extenuating circumstances (some other distro's GRUB is somewhere on this system). But I still don't really understand how APFS resize can affect the grub.cfg alone, without nerfing the entire HFS+ faux-ESP as well, in which case you wouldn't have a GRUB prompt.

> However some disagreed with the "marriage" word; some disagreed with the need for a law to allow it, rather than removing any existing law or clause that denied it.

This is a minor technical point that distracts from the main discussion, and doesn't really support the implication from your earlier comment that some gay people are against gay marriage rights. Saying method 2 is better than method 1 is not the same as opposing method 1.
Nothing, and I believe there's also nothing stopping you from using ClojureScript on the server today either with Nashorn or Nodejs.

But Macchiato seems to imply that something was previously stopping us, which it solves, so I'm curious to know what that is, since I was under the impression it was already possible.
The goal in for-profit communication is always going to be the same: getting return visits. The best way to do that is to tell people what they want to hear. This is why Rush and Fox and MSNBC and Breitbart have the content they have.

This is also what Facebook is doing. However, since they have the advantage of being able to complete personalize your feed to give you what you want, they can provide 100% coverage across all demographics.
Chrome isn't the de facto standard, it doesn't have complete dominance of the web yet so you also have to support, at the very least, Safari.
>Are you not aware that homeless people don't live and die in the cities of their birth? That in fact the homeless aren't owned by any particular municipality?

Obviously, I'm not sure the relevance though. They may not be 'owned' by a municipality but they exist in one. Why should expensive areas be able to just export the homeless to cheap areas? If anything expensive areas like Portland have the tax base to take care of them better than rural Nebraska.

>Personally, no, of course no one has a right (a 'positive right') to anything as that would logically create an obligation on the part of someone else to provide it. Who gets to decide who's enslaved to provide everyone else with what's theirs by right?

Well you and I just fundamentally disagree but to engage here: By this token why push the burden of the homeless onto us Midwesterners? This makes it seem like you're putting on us either (1) the positive right to take care of them which you won't provide or (2) the ugliness of letting them die in the streets which you're unwilling to tolerate.

So once again, they exist in Portland, if you don't think they have a right to life, then they can die in Portland, we want no part of it.

So far I haven't encountered a problem that wasn't caught at compile-time.

However, your question prompted me to see if I could set a breakpoint and step through a program, and I was able to do it without much effort.

I have the "LLDB Debugger" extension in VSC installed. After that, the trick was to configure its launch.json to have the "program" property set to "${workspaceRoot}/target/debug/mandelbrot".

That's all it took.

Maybe I'd encounter some shortcoming trying to actually use it in anger, but I was happy to be able to do this much.

I get your point, but say you were selling food instead of services. It's on you to make sure that what you are importing doesn't break any rule (GMO, other stuff, etc...).

I think it's fair. You shouldn't break the law. That regulation may be overkill in terms of punishment, but that doesn't mean that the regulation itself is wrong. Laws are imperfect. Regulations exist in every industry and there's a reason for that. Over regulating is a burden for a business, but under regulating is bad for customers (or the environment, or whatever).

Chrome seems to have a tenancy to paper over some bugs and not report them back to the user (even in the console). It's the main reason none of our devs use Chrome for primary development anymore (it's not worth the extra dev time when QA fails on all other browsers) and it's just used during QA.
For the record, Mozilla didn't get any money for the Mr. Robot tie-in: it was supposed to be part of a mutual cross-promotion campaign. I don't think the original Pocket integration was paid, either, though my memory there is hazy. Either way Mozilla now owns Pocket anyway.
Yes; much of the SLS requirements were forced by a certain bloc of congress who, since the 1970's have been directing pork-barrel $ at a few contractors' business. (in particular, Lockheed's Michaud facility in Louisiana, and Thiokol/ATK..now OrbitalATK, in the case of the solid rocket fuel). A lot of the original STS requirements were driven by this congressional delegation.

Good riddance to this form of "engineering".

That said: I'm not super bullish on the outcome of Blue Origin's efforts. The have not impressed me. SpaceX has; very much. And I do believe that Lockheed, Boeing, and even OrbitalATK will be very important players in the future. They're all continuing to do great work, but the government's got to start spending their money much smarter than they had been. (And perhaps the worst example was the cancellation of the X-33 Program).
Now I think we're getting a little harsh. I agree that GP was incorrect, but I don't see any reason to think this was anything more than a good-faith misreading of a less-than-clear form.

We can go by so many different names and I really feel that they all essentially mean the same thing. It could all be about keywords too. Take your LinkedIn profile and add all those keywords, and you will have LinkedIn emailing you that people looked at your profile. I think its all a matter of choice or the position that your company names you.
Depends on the context, I guess. While working on a code base employing DOM manipulation it's absolutely fine.

I can't help but feel we're approaching a reckoning, in both senses, for platforms selling targeted access to their users.

It's just too powerful.

On one side it's propaganda, on the other it's illegal hiring practices (eg only advertising to young, able bodied men). I can't imagine a democratic world will tolerate this much longer.
One thing I have noticed in several tech companies is that what is or isn't the time or place for a non community relevant outburst is determined to a surprising degree by the contents of the outburtst. A VP of Engineering making anti-Trump comments (in a context without other relevance to the business or matter at hand) at a company all-hands is deemed relevant. A person of similar rank making pro-Trump comments would have been treated very differently.

People are very bad at separating the personal from the professional. Indeed, many people seem to think it's their right to use the one to advance the other.

I felt alienated by that VP's comments. Not because of their contents, but because he felt so free to abuse his position.
If I'm not mistaken, too, the $2Bn investment is just the beginning. The attacker would also have to cover the costs of at least 51% of the energy used in the network - much less find somewhere they can use that much energy without someone noticing.

Not only did I not whine about something in a written document, I never once mentioned WHATWG or anything other standards body. (That was intentional.) I explicitly call out the vendors and their mutual implementations. The "standard" I care about is the truly living standard of what every browser implements. The point here is that the _de facto_ standard is not Chrome, and if it were that'd be a bad thing. (We've been there before; it was a bad thing.)
they dont , its being marketed that you should want to have one.

-dont you think its cool to have thousands of programmers use your code

-dont you want to give away your skills for free and stick it to the evil corporate software companies

-dont you have a need for attention? if you dont have your own opensource project then you have no voice in the community , either pick a side (angular or react) , give us free hours of your work , or be voiceless

I dont feel like I need one , I dont think im missing out on much, and I dont think it really matters in terms of opportunity.

I dont think that there is 1 open source project I use that isnt owned by a huge/for profit company that either gets large donations or makes a product.

To do simple tasks, you don’t even need neural networks, in short. If you want to do complex tasks, training the neural net isn’t the problem, but a NN can indeed represent more than say a linear policy. The issue is getting the NN to do the complex thing correctly: it’s more of an exploration problem than function approximation problem.
First, you can replace an iPhone battery, just take it to your Apple Store. It's reasonably affordable ($79) or free if still under warranty/Applecare. User-replaceable batteries don't change anything for the environment.

Second, user-replaceable batteries don't come for free. They come with a series of trade-offs. Small increases in cost, space, even weight. If you plan to keep your phone for more than 2 years, user-replaceable will be more important to you than if you intend to replace every 2 years.

I remember when I switched to MacBook Pros from my Dell laptops. I had two flights a week that were about 5 hours each. I had to buy an extra laptop battery and charger so my Dell would last the entire flight. And sometimes I'd forget to charge both batteries and I'd be back to a dead laptop halfway through the flight.

Then I read the reviews of these new MBPs that lasted 7-8 hours instead of 5 hours, that used sealed batteries. I switched and my new MBP worked like a charm, easily lasting the entire flight every time. One big reason Apple made that advance was entirely because they abandoned removable batteries. They were able to fit more battery using a custom form factor that would have been super expensive to make removable. No one had done this as well before, because Apple was the first to implement good embedded battery conditioning software so they would last a couple years without needing replacement.

Sealed batteries aren't always better, but they typically are for most users and use cases.
I don't think inn really needs any improvement; my gripe was with C-News running on BSD 2.11 :) I've set up INN on a modern system and it's quite simple.

Personally, I think auto-peering would be terrible for the reason I mentioned in my previous post. If you have to manually set up a peer, you have some control over who and what you propagate. If your friend starts posting garbage, one of your other peers might get pissed off enough to de-peer you--which I consider a feature! Configuring a peer isn't difficult, but it does require an explicit human-to-human agreement.

The way things work today, when somebody wants to post on Usenet, they go to eternal-september.org and get a free account. I think something like 50% of postings on text newsgroups must originate from eternal-september, and it's great that they're providing a free service, but things like e-s and the Google Groups Usenet bridge means that there's no accountability for garbage. With a $20 Raspberry Pi, though, you can run a totally capable text groups server, and I think a network like that might have some interesting people on it. It's also a foot in the door toward people hosting their own content rather than shoving everything on some random free online service.
