The Open Banking Revolution of 2018 Will Take UX Design to the Forefront
Not having things in common with others doesn't exactly provoke loneliness. You can be lonely around people you have a lot in common with.
Worst thing is that if you don't start a conversation you won't even know whether you do have anything in common.
People have been talking about this for as long as they've been talking about electric cars, and several companies have demoed prototypes. The two main problems are that the machines needed to do this change are very expensive and tricky to maintain compared to a simple gas pump, and more importantly, unless you can get all car manufacturers to agree to a universal standard for batteries and battery access you're going to need a half dozen different machines and batteries at each gas station, driving up the costs even further.
"Humans tended to live in small groups of mostly related people."

That is perfect situation for bullying. The victim cant leave. Close knit groups are great, until they are not.
I think this is a big fuck-up by Mozilla but I agree that some of the reactions are a bit over-emphatic. Actually I hope that this big backlash means that Mozilla is less likely than others to try something like that in the future. I personally don't plan on changing web browser and I hope Moz won't suffer too much for this mistake (if only because I love Rust).

That being said your reply and others before make me a tad uneasy because you seem to say that it's possible for a small team of, I guess, mostly marketing people can sneak an extension into a Firefox release "under the radar". Are you telling me that if I have some access to the Mozilla repos I can wait for one of this "bi-yearly" meetings and get questionable changes into the next release? A web browser is a critical piece of software, you shouldn't be able to push a novelty extension (regardless of intent) willy-nilly.

I think adding a new default extension in Firefox should go through tons of scrutiny and code review. And if that was the case I can't imagine that nobody would've raised a big red flag along the way saying "wait guys, are we sure we really want to do this?"
This article is spot on but misses two important points: 1) as customers are driven to the more convenient urgent care clinics such as The Little Clinic or Minute Clinic, they are losing the long-term consistency of medical review and care they once enjoyed through a relationship with their primary care physician. Second and most importantly, fewer and fewer people are going to medical school and of those that are, fewer are being general practitioners or internists so by and large your medical care is primarily given by PA’s and NPR’sboth of who. Require physician supervision.

I am all for customer centric healthcare but decreasing reimbursement rates and increasing government unfunded mandates are resulting in fewer people going to medical school. When a doctors patient load continues to increase they have less time to spend with patients and reviewing labs, etc.
What's the new German empire ? Today's Germany territory or the "Germanic" nations ? (or something else)
GDP doesn't measure value created; it measures money spent. If I hire you to dig a big hole and then fill it in, GDP rises but no value was created.

Also if I pay you $50 to pay me $50, GDP rises by $100.
Note that as battery prices drop, just having a larger battery that only needs charged once a week becomes more and more possible. People in suburbs need to drive further for a daily commute, but have easier overnight charging. People in urban centers have more trouble charging but need to drive less distance (and often in the kind of start-stop traffic that EVs work so well for, which changes their range in comparison with an ICE car).
Verifying bubble sort in Whiley
Nobody cares about the sound of auto transes. But a 4-on-the-floor V8, that's another matter entirely. See the movie Bullitt for proof.

I'll get an electric car like everyone else. But I dream about having a '68 Mustang :-)
It seems to me that the Voronoi diagram [0], the counterpart of Delaunay triangulation, is probably more useful as a general approach to this idea.

The cellular nature is great for lots of applications.

> If being opaque is pretty much required, then Firefox is absolutely the wrong context for that extension, whose whole point is transparency.

Fair point.

> It's not that it displays an ad, it's that it IS an ad.

If it's an add, it's the most well-hidden ad in history, since you need to find both a hidden preference to turn it on and a specific and non-documented website to let it display anything.

> Not only that, but it also parasitically hooks in and wastes resources (memory, cpu time, battery life) in each and every tab visiting each and every web page.

No, it doesn't.
This would also a good idea for countries like India where the sun mostly shines and the electricity grid is weak.
That's not the issue. The issue is if a post from an infrequent poster is more interesting than a post from a frequent poster. The prevailing believe is that this is actually the case. And in that case Facebook would also profit from prioritising the infrequent poster's post.
My suggestion is to hacve a look at the java roles in your area and focus your learning around the skillsets listed. Are they using concurency/multithreading in conjunction with a website? Or can you focus on Java EE like JSF/JPA on an application server

Id also consider focusing on spring boot

And yet the same article says:

> To complicate matters, often fiction writers (think Dostoyevsky, Huxley, or Borges) turn out to be particularly insightful philosophers, and so do filmmakers — such as Bergman, Kurosawa, and Tarkovsky — who philosophize just as insightfully on screen. All these entanglements and contaminations mark philosophy profoundly — indeed, they make it what it is.

These two quotes are compatible only if the author thinks that modern fiction writers and modern directors are no longer insightful philosophers.

Mmm, I see. The quote you referenced was in the context "mainstream philosophy", which the author implies is synonymous with academic philosophy. (Even though more people have watched Bergman films and read Borges than have ever read an academic philosophy paper.)

Still, I think the author shifts the definition of philosophy too much, and in such a way that it bends to fit the thesis, rather than the other way around.
As an electric car owner, I can assure you, that that isn't an issue. You don't need to charge every time you park. A trip to a fast charging station once a week is enough for the average driver (perhaps these will be installed at shopping malls, supermarket parking lots eventually).

People who drive a lot will typically visit fast charging stations when they cover longer distances anyway and also usually own a garage.

So, this is a non-issue. Enough peak (fast) charging capacity (when millions of Germans drive to their holidays in Italy e.g.) is a real problem.
I am guessing that it's both the ones who won the fights and those who avoided them survived. When these groups meet in (fairly) modern society it's not that hard to imagine what happens to the latter group.
Answers to Questions Hardware Startups Have About Electrical Component Sourcing
I think it was too complex for a demand it has (most people can just charge car at home every night). They will probably revisit it when more electric cars are around (especially later with self-driving fleets, it's a no-brainer).
It looks like it mixes true and false information. If it turns out the content is actually genuine, in spite of imperfect English, the underlying meaning could be that Apple will reject template-based apps generated by frameworks mentioned, and not that all apps created by them would be banned. This seems the most logical conclusion. Apple definitely wouldn't disclose such a huge policy change via one small letter to one developer, it makes no sense at all.
In Ruby, check out https://apidock.com/ruby/Kernel/set_trace_func. I believe Python has something similar, too.
I remember getting one -1- telegram. (Received for my Confirmation from a distant relative in the US. Must have been May 1993.)

This was such an event in the cottage I lived in at the time that the local postmaster dropped by on his way home from work to deliver it, rather than just toss it in the mail for delivery next day (as was SoP, if I remember correctly - I seem to remember telegrams were telexed from whatever entity served as the national gateway to the nearmost post office, where it was printed and put in local mail; this procedure was written out in the phone books, and provided for a glimpse into an exotic world for a kid stuck in West Podunk, Norway in the eighties...)

Still get a chuckle out of it, as my relative (who had emigrated from Norway as a kid, and thus spoke Norwegian) had apparently gamed the system a bit - in order to pay for fewer words, he'd strung multiple words together like 'CONGRATULATIONSON THEBIGDAYMAY GOD BLESSALL'

(Wonder how that worked out - presumably foreign language text was billed at a higher rate?)
Sort of, but it doesn't completely work like that in practice, because of how heavily involved the federal government is with all sorts of things.

In fact, both of your examples illustrate this. When gay marriage was only legal at the state level, same-sex legally married couples weren't treated as married for the purposes of income tax, Social Security, immigration, and a bunch of other federal benefits. And even in states where marijuana is decriminalized, the DEA can arrest and federally prosecute you if they feel like it.
> needs to be regulated but can't be regulated

There is no binary choice between "not regulated at all" and "completely regulated".

For example, just implementing a process for public scrutiny of algorithms and datasets may result in those building the algorithms and collecting the data becoming more aware of their biases. (That's "may" with a capital M, though.)
Define "slightly awkward" please ..just curious! :)
Presumably Estonia is not planning to make Estcoins into legal tender for taxes and debts.
But performance cars are already using electronic sound generation in gas cars. Just do that for electrics too.
No technical infos? Will this be a chain on it's own or based on an existing chain?
I am subscribed to the HN RSS feed, so I go through that daily. I click through on the stuff that looks interesting, but never see the same un-interesting stuff again. Occasionally I'll actually visit the website if I'm really bored.
But what if I want to build one up?
I think something like a dating app (but not for dating) could work. You'd just have to do some a policing to avoid the trend towards people trying to find love, since both apparently don't work together.
They were generally family groups that very much depended on each other constantly for survival. The social dynamics would be very different than what can readily be imagined today. Harassing someone whose existence is necessary for you all to eat tomorrow or to avoid getting eaten by wild animals is going to be quite a different situation.

Applying the fad buzzword for children being mean to each other in suburban middle schools to primitive human culture isn't exactly a valid comparison.
I bet 1 Estcoin that he was saying Europe is being controlled by Germany.
Best solution to loneliness is to gain massive debt, become dirt poor, and battle daily with attention deficit issues while you struggle to learn and become productive enough to get a job in the software industry with a pretty horrible work history, an incomplete bachelors, and a near worthless associates.

Living one rung lower on Maslow's hierarchy makes you forget about the desire to be around people, or even leave the house (father's) all that often (2% of the time).

Granted, I think maybe my concern for my health (irrational or not) has been exacerbated, so I've traded loneliness for frequent panic attacks concerning whether or not I might have cancer or a heart defect. On the plus side, I know for a fact that I've torn back muscles weight lifting, so all I really need is the medicaid office to get back to me after submitting my 4th application with no phone calls or emails as to my status.
The dependency order is the other way round:

Enjoy Holiday

depends on

Pack suitcase

depends on

Buy guide book

depends on

buy GBP

I could have used a 'real' example but then it would have got bogged down in the details of that example. Most of us have planned for a holiday, so I just used that example. Maybe 'moving house' would have been better, but that's more culture-specific.

I'd welcome a PR if you'd want to add a better example.
I'm not a native speaker, but you could say they can only do one thing, and it's not interacting with humans :) Hope this makes sense.

That's a lost battle. At this stage a lot more people are aware of cryptocurrencies than of the concept of Cryptography, and slang like that always follows the majority consensus.
Modern society may have issues, but it as bad as it is usually portrayed.

10,000 years ago, you would live in a tribe. If you were not popular among your tribe, it is likely you would be either exiled and forced to live in solitude and die during winter or be constantly subject to violence.

2,000 years ago, you would live only to work in a farm or be in a state of perpetual war. To make things worse, literacy rate was something around 0.001%, if you were lucky.

1,000 years ago, you would be essentially doing the same while dying from a plague. There was no sanitation of any kind.

200 years ago, you would be working at a factory and going to war every 30 years.

100 years ago, there was no radio or TV, so you still had stuff like this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tulsa_race_riot

About 60 years ago women were predominantly housewives and were vulnerable to all sorts of abuse.

So no, right now things are better.
There is this principle that I always bring up when it comes to our interaction with the government, but it fits perfectly here too.

You might be able to give up control over something, but never the responsibility that comes with it. So in this particular case, we are free to let the algorithm decide for us, but we should all be aware who will suffer when the algorithm goes haywire. It's that simple.
It's interesting: even though indeed there are not so many sites that ask for them, I still find it an intrusion every time. I suppose it's a kind of conditioning because of all the spamming.
This would be difficult because the hash rate doesn't change dynamically every block, so you'd need to make up all the hash power of the DDOS'ed miners.

But you could just do the DDOS, then blocks would stop being confirmed and the value would plummet.
Here's how you do the research, summarized from Amy Hoy's sales safari of 30x500 fame

You find a community of people you can talk to. Often these are people you're already a member of.

Then you talk to this community. You observe, you engage.

As you observe and engage, you listen to their problems, their pain. You take notes.

Solving any one instance of that pain is a potential business.

Good luck.
I am astounded that this comment is not receiving more upvotes and comments! I can't believe we are taking someone seriously for blaming Facebook for not telling them their friend has died.
If you care about someone, call them, be present in their life every once in a while. Caring is a proactive act!
Launching a crypto to compete against Euro sounds bizarre for a country that needs to reinforce its European membership against the Russian threat. They need to be as close as possible to the core of the EU.

But I really like the idea of a community estcoin to boost the adoption of the e-residence and all the services around. A very interesting side effect of an ICO is how the buyers become instantly in evangelist of the service/solution provided by the company backing the offering. I think the 'community effect' is key for a successful ICO, that's why I like offerings like https://www.tutellus.io for example.

Once global warming becomes a real problem and the politics are driving laws to be enacted towards using electric vehicles, the situation will change pretty quickly.

I'm sure governments could sink a lot of money into battery research if the situation would make it so.

Although I've read in several places that once global warming is engaged, you cannot reverse it because of stuff like melting methane ice spots in the tundra.
A centralized, nationalized cryptocurrency? How revolutional!
Didn’t they drink out of wine skins? Cheaper, more sturdy than glass.. and beer was drunk from wooden tankards, 4 pints in size unearthed, probably 2000 years ago in wales.

That's true in the short term, but one of them has to be the first to move. Shifting from coal to renewables does nothing for the environmental impact of cars in an all-ICE system. If we get a larger percentage of electric cars, the impact of switching to renewables will also increase.
The largest benefit of Pomodoro for me is just starting things instead of procrastinating. It's a very "light" thought that I'll just spend a pomodoro on something, making it easy to get started. And once you get started, it almost always gets far easier to continue than to stop.
This is completely true. A blockchain that didn't prevent double spending could be both very efficient and support hidden transactions without any tricky math.
Car sounds are important for small children and animals in the street though.
I remember learning The Man Who Planted Trees (L'homme qui plantait des arbres) [1] in French class in primary school.

Even though many of the trees aren't surviving, I'm cautiously optimistic about the Green Great Wall project. I think that trees breaking the wind can stop more air pollution than grass. They will use more water, but when the wind is blocked, the humidity can stay local, so even rotting dead trees can fertilise the next generation of plants.

There's some skepticism about corruption and incompetence of government planning, which is probably true. But has the American government put so much effort and money into an environmental project?

The miracle of complex numbers is that they have two seemingly unrelated but very nice properties:

1) Every non-constant polynomial has a root

2) Every holomorphic function is analytic

The only connection I know is that (2) implies Liouville's theorem which implies (1), but it doesn't seem any less miraculous.
Hey, I'm following Amy Hoy for about 2 years now (email list mostly). Thanks! Will begin counting the number of times she gets mentioned :)
Better place did that but it's actually far worse idea than it sounds. People have electricity in their homes and it's much easier to establish a grid of super chargers than building for changing batteries.

It might happen over time when infrastructure is better established.

That's probably the only way we will get rid of them as well.
Does it? We don't know that without actually testing. It's very much possible that providing less assistance but to more people will have a much wider impact. If the parents truly are responsible for their own success, there is for example good reason to hypothesize that they may be able to compensate for reduced support with their abilities.

I'd imagine that the utility of spaced repetition for Haskell is more about remembering important function names rather than learning the concepts.

It's probably not amazingly useful in that context, but it may help to feel fluent faster, which could help with other things.
The problem is that the EU court may force Estonia to any decision they want. This already happend with Ireland - the EU forced them to collect 13 Billions in additional taxes from Apple even if Ireland didn't want to do this.
Historically, telegrams are billed per character, nowadays they are probably just transmitted over internet anyways, the only difference is the time it has to be delivered.

I know of Russian system they still have it, only difference from a letter is that regular telegram will be delivered in 8-12 hours and urgent in 4 hours.

Currently with everyone having a mobile phone there is a lot less demand, sending an sms will be faster anyways.
I think we should try it? Teaching daughters to be responsible for not getting sexually assaulyed implicitly communicates that men are not responsible. It can easily be interpreted as victim-blaming.

Can you elaborate about how teaching sons not to sexually assault people is disempowering to women? I need help understanding female empowerment.
What do you mean by closure?
I disagree strongly. I used .NET for years before jumping ship to Java. Guava and Apache commons dwarf anything available for C# at any price. I know because I went looking many times for libraries with similar algorithms and Bloom filters. .NET is pay to play and in most cases something similar in Java was free.

I also greatly miss native database libraries when I'm using .NET. a large number, maybe a majority, of open source databases have an outdated buggy port to C# if anything. I will never forget the hell of integrating Lucene with C# because the port is bugged and close to a decade old. This is par the course for .NET

MS has a huge problem with lack of open source support unless you're stuck on the (IMO archaic) SQL Server+ Windows server platform.

Microsoft has fallen many years behind the times. Having to get a multi thousand dollar license for a server OS and SQL database is a joke. Their VM support outside of Azure is severely lacking and support for containers is junk because they're not based on Linux cgroups like everyone else. Windows as a server OS is as dead as OS/2 was 5 years ago. Linux won, by a landslide, and MS is too proud to just deal with that. Their software is severely crippled in server land as a result.

PlexAmp is meant to play music from your Plex library, which may indeed not be local. The Plex server API is HTTP based (something REST-like IIRC).

And they wanted the player to work on multiple platforms, unlike say Foobar2000.

Not saying it's the best technical choice, but given that it started as a personal side project it's a hardly fair to call it "plain stupid" to use Electron for this.
