Huh, I didn't know this. I felt Firefox 56 -> 57 was a major improvement in Android too, and was sure this was due to Quantum. I wonder now if that was just placebo.
By transforming a society into a militarized one, you have given the terrorists much of what they wanted.

Now I wonder if I've gotten the jist of it or not.
A significant proportion of the rough sleeper population are not easily housed. They may have significant mental health issues that do not warrant involuntary hospitalisation, but cause them to be extremely disruptive or unwilling to be housed. They may have unmanaged substance abuse problems, particularly alcohol dependency. Trauma and PTSD often play a significant role. Sometimes, they're just antisocial assholes. Most of these people can eventually be housed, but it often takes years of intensive support and dozens of false starts.

Homelessness exists in a complex relationship with many other personal and social problems. The provision of shelters is only one element of the solution. If you aim for a complete and rapid elimination of visible rough sleeping, you'll inevitably end up persecuting rough sleepers or bussing them off to somewhere else. There is a great deal that can be done to reduce rough sleeping and much of it isn't being done, but there's no magic wand.
One of the problems with CTE is we still aren’t positive what is causing it. There is at least some evidence that low level repetitive hits to the head are as bad or worse than concussions in this regard. If that is true Rugby is going to have its day of reckoning in CTE (as is soccer).

Concussions are bad in any case, so it’s great that we are trying to prevent them, but I’d be very careful assuming any contact sport has a handle on the issue yet. Especially not one with a scrum.
This is not true for the USA companies. Where a policy has been stated regarding recline, that policy has been "there is no policy" and "we get involved only if passenger safety becomes an issue."

On the many flights I have taken, I have only seen a flight attendant do something once (aforementioned), and I'm not able to find a Lufthansa policy that backed her actions up.
I have used Samsung ARM Chromebook from 2012 for development (mostly Java plus occasional C++). It was OK. The limiting factor was memory, not CPU.

I think a new cheap and small ARM Chromebook with 8GB would be very attractive option for me as a travel laptop. Sadly I am such a minority...

If you don't mind me asking, how will you cut down work? Is your employer willing to just reduce your hours, or do you have other plan?

I don't plan on cutting back yet, but I'd like to know for the future, since I've never actually met a career professional doing so.

> Personally I find it difficult to understand how parents can let their kids play rugby when there is such overwhelming evidence that it’s risky at best.

Frankly every time a child gets in a car they are much more likely to get injured than in a game of rugby. I guess it's time to start wrapping our children in bubblewrap every time they go out, just in case...

>As surgeon and health care researcher Atul Gawande observes, “Millions of people are receiving drugs that aren’t helping them, operations that aren’t going to make them better, and scans and tests that do nothing beneficial for them, and often cause harm.”

I am not trying to defend doctors but the article left out a little detail that messes up the entire system.

Malpractice Insurance

In the United States, if God forbid , they happen to not do a procedure or precautionary test, and the patient ends up affected or imparied in some way or form, R.I.P that doctor's insurance.

Only in America can you sue to get that witchcraft money( apparently copious amounts of money brings someone back to life) when someone dies after surgery complications in that life saving procedure.

Doctors/surgeons are not God, their is always a risk in surgery.
I think the concept you're looking for is the one of catharsis [1].

Aristoteles used it to explain why theater was a good thing, when people were complaining that violence in dramas may cause violence in society. The global idea is that it purges it instead (people experience violence during a play, so they are less inclined to want to experience it in reality).

[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catharsis
Let us also remember that to a large swath of Americans youth, sport is seen as an avenue out of poverty. You better believe that if it was your "one shot" to change social class, you might take it at 16 without thinking about the literal brain impact.

It's literally the closest thing you can get to modern day gladiators.
Your assuming complete and correct requirements. 80 20 is great when you get fuzzy reqs and have to make a decision.
From an American's POV anything less would probably be considered an additional rudeness.

Every culture makes a public/private distinction and has different social conventions in each.

For example, sarcastic/ironic/cutting humour is mostly a private-space thing in america -- whereas in the UK it's common to both. I'd say this is related to their deep sense that public spaces should be friendly-distant.

For this reason, amongst others, Americans have a reputation for not understanding irony/british sense of humour. It's more that they don't expect it in public places. I'd imagine an American experience of people British people joking at (say,) a funeral is something like a British experience of an American helpline. Vaguely repellent.

It's because it's mixing public/private which crosses intimacy lines. And intimacy is closely related to disgust (eg. someone you dont like kissing you).

PS. I've just had another thought about that. One of the issues we have in the UK at the moment is the importation of a strange kind of political correctness where you mustn't joke about stereotypes etc. (which is a particularly european thing: to joke about each other's culture -- this tends to feel connecting to europeans).

My guess is that because, in America, public spaces are supposed to be friendly-distant (hence why they censor all sorts of words, etc.) we have imported this sense about certain kinds of jokes.

To the American sensibilities a stereotyping joke in a public space is alienating. To a european one, it's a gesture towards intimacy.

I think we're probably going to lose this to American culture. We may have already.

Though still, it's interesting to observe: get a group of europenas of different nationalities together and they bond by joking about sterotypes. Stereotype an american and they think you're being hostile and trash-talking them.

Yes, because just seeing the ad is effective in many cases; for example, brand advertising.

Maybe that's the source of the problem: "free", the assumption getting a service without paying somehow.

I'm old enough to remember a service, which added a footer into your IE5 and showed ads constantly, and in exchange, you got paid, with actual money. (Pocket money level, of course; unfortunately I can't recall service names, this was pre-2000.)

Getting a service for viewing ads - that is fine.

Telling me it's free then showing me ads - that's just plain dishonestly and/or lying, so don't tell me not to block ads: I never agreed to them explicitly.

And as for information access: Wikipedia, one of the most well known source of information, is running on donations - subscriptions, really. It is viable. Makes no money for investors though and serves and actual purpose, like a library.

> The spinal damage was from playing against people in my college year group who were clearly much older than me, and should not have been playing against 16 year olds.

School rugby in NZ had a great solution to this that I wish was implemented elsewhere. The teams were categorised by weight rather than age, which makes a lot more sense for school / college Rugby.
This isn't surprising at all for anyone who has read Better Angels of Our Nature by Steven Pinker. The decline of violence is a ongoing trend in the species.

I'll trust the block lists from my internet neighbors. Thank you for your concern but the people who build those lists take sufficient care and most use a transparent process to add rules to them, like GitHub pull requests, and if there's ever a rule that wrongly blocks a site I can whitelist it myself with ease.

They might burn some CPU cycles but surely the ads themselves burn much more.

We're not there yet.

When we reach a level of automation where there aren't enough people to sell goods and services to because there aren't enough jobs (and where conversely, there aren't enough jobs to realistically expect a given person to use wages to pay for necessities like food, housing, and clothing), we'll have reached a stage where capitalism is no longer viable as a way to generate or distribute value.

We're on that path, and some of the cracks are beginning to show. But capitalism isn't obsolete. If anything, it's reaching a crescendo. Whether the current form is a good thing for the vast majority of the world's population is open to debate. But that has nothing to do with obsolescence.
I too have not have enough coffee yet today and made the same mistake.
iPhone Battery and Performance
The point is, that you make assumptions how much work it actually is and i am not, as i do this with almost everybody that asks me for such 'help' (after fixing, cleaning etc their machines).

Stating it will be a full time job is such an overstatement, i'd almost call it a blatant lie. Your mom is on FB, YT, and maybe a handful of other sites daily (so no popups for those or decisions to take there). You could also monitor and log and then apply block/allow rules later for when you visit for coffee or dinner. (if you want to reply something here about unprotected in that period, think about all the new bad urls not on such url lists yet for apps like uBlock)

And i only get positive feedback how well it works and how much they learned about websites and other internet services, the information leaked to 3rd parties, cooperation between companies. Even scared some contacts i have from social media like FB, Instagram and alike. Makes them a lot more aware of what is going on instead of giving them a list of known crap urls, again, maintained by some samaritan in an attic. Nice effort, i just think its fair from sufficient nowadays on the internet. In the time it takes these people to update the list, 1000 new crap urls have been registered.

And doesn't take that much time, sure you have to put in some more time then, simply telling people to install uBlock (or similar) and tell them that they are safe and secure with this application. I prefer to educate properly instead of just throwing some half *ed solution their way and having them figure out it fails in the end anyway.

Another note, the internet is broken, broken in many ways. And _you_ know this else you would not suggest any protection, apps like uBlock.
The rolling substitutions are a big thing people fail to bring up when talking about the danger of the game. Between the platoons and rolling substitutions the game is designed to be a string of never ending high impact hits. There's little worry about stamina over long stretches because you can be substituted out and if you succeed your side gets a break. Players train their bodies to be explosive instead of having high endurance.

Yeah... I wouldn't have a problem with a polite request. I thought the FA was totally out of line, certainly by American standards. I had been traveling for about 55 hours by that time, on my way to Italy from a small fishing village in South America, so I was exhausted and didn't really appreciate the rudeness. I figured it was a Lufthansa thing and now I stay away from them.

I haven't had the pleasure of flying Cathay Pacific yet, but I hear it's nice.
Use whatsapp Efficiently
I think I was not clear. I meant to say that instead of hitting the users with creepy ads that the users block anyway or have developed a "mental ignore",

May be the ad companies can sell harmless image ads that content publishers can serve from the same domain as the content is. No tracking, no user customizations. The user knows what they click.
Why would millions of people working at ad companies go out of business in the above scenario?

The ines that are writing creepy user tracking code will have to go. But, I don't sympathize with them. They will find some Tyler's meaningful to do with their skills.

Imho, just because millions are doing/depending on the creepy stuff doesn't justify their presence.
He's sorta right in the sense that most people like a "relaxed" character in the out of focus areas which is very hard to achieve with tiny sensors and lenses (while for example basically every modern large format lens is extremely "creamy").
I see what you are saying but its framed wrongly, again. That is the average age of the team players. Do you know the average age of player entering the team? (average career length might be helpful?) Also, what is the average age of the people who dream of playing on the team, or who are making decisions that would lead to them being on such a team?

I might agree that 25 is an adult but lets be realistic here.. if you can find somebody who at that age made the decision to join the sport and actually got into a pro team, well I'll be amazed!
Nice write-up. The pragmatic title is certainly accurate.

From first principles my favorite is Oppenheim / Schafer's 1989 version of 'Discrete-Time Signal Processing'. Its falling apart from all the use over the years.
For some reason, the mention of pattern matching made me think of Perl. Not that Perl is something I'd suggest anyone learn these days for career advancement purposes; but if you want to twist your brain in new directions it might be worth a try.
Seconded. On my visits to Berlin, my travel companions were often absolutely terrified because of the huge amounts of graffiti, the gutter punks at train stations and the open prostitution around Oranienburger Straße. They thought that they had arrived in some sort of dystopian nightmare. After a few days, they realised that Berlin is incredibly safe and welcoming, it just doesn't have any pretensions. Berlin has the same social problems as any other big city, but they're managed in open view rather than swept under the carpet.
Machine learning APIs are too expensive for normal developers
I've been using uBlock since it came out and I just immediately leave those sites that don't function unless I disable it. Whatever content they have, someone else likely has a "good enough" alternative.

I also happen to run a blog (no where near a major website) but my thought process is, you should write because you want to spread what you've learned with others, not create a platform for the sole purpose of making money.

To me, having a visitor on your site is a privilege. Why would you go out of your way to interrupt and attempt to manipulate them, yet that's what so many large sites do. There's other ways to make money rather than tormenting your users.

This phenomenon is well known among runners. Apparently it's natural and nothing to be concerned about.
> I'm not actually sure how we ended up living in a world where those terms and conditions are legally meaningful

IANAL, but as an European I'm pretty sure they aren't legally meaningful. To be honest, I don't consider any online T&C's to actually affect me, and only pay attention to explicitly mentioned licenses for content. I have no idea how far from actual reality this is.
The Philippines allows you to extend up to a year (longer if you jump through some hoops). That's multiple extensions, but you don't have to leave the country until you approach the 1 year point. After that, you can come right back.

I like to use separate email addresses for each service all sent through a common domain. I started out doing it just from simple curiousity to see how sites sell and reuse my address. But now it pays off in quite a few ways.

I think for privacy’s sake, it’s valuable to systemically behave in different ways.
I don't necessarily agree fully, but even then we can discuss the morality of selling the data to trackers without informing the user, let alone not giving them a choice to opt out before viewing the content.

1) I find that hard to believe. Where did you read this? Injuries-per-minute playing rugby are surely higher than when riding a car.

2) Rugby is recreation. Riding in a car is a necessary part of daily life. Regardless of risk, one can be given up much more easily.
Waking ups levels. Sleep lowers them. This is the natural cycle/process. Remove sleep and yes levels will increase. But the cause isn't being awake, it's the lack of sleep. Yes?

Tolerance:
- camping ban lifted
- “petty” crimes often not even given a citation — most property crimes
- bike theft not even investigated — police need to witness
- drug crimes not cited
- parking violations not cited if vehicle known to be a homeless person
- city sanctioned Camp was supposed to have rules, instead people shoot up and other things with no ramifications

In a sense the city has set up a two tier system of enforcement - cite those that can pay, don’t for those that can’t unless the crime is violent. This includes bail levels for the same crime, most drugged out tweakers are caught and released where a working stiff will have a hefty bail amount to deal with.

The problem can be more easily solved by helping those who are local and sending those who aren’t back to where they are from (or a system to charge the originating towns).

> But the scan also identifies protein found in Alzheimer’s patients, making it difficult for a definitive conclusion. That’s one reason Omalu performed a postmortem exam of McNeill to confirm the results.

So it indicates you've either got CTE or early signs of Alzheimer’s -- bad news either way.
I don’t have any philosophical objection to advertising or even tracking, really, but ads have gotten so bad that they destroy user experience and make it impossible to read the sites I want to read.

If advertisers would agree to some behavior standards, I’d happily re-enable ads. Somebody has to pay for content.
Given that there is no scenario where they would literally say that, we have to judge by their actions and not their words.

What they said "[wouldn't] degrade the user experience to drive customer upgrades"

What they did "degrade the user experience"

I can't think of any reason they would do that in good faith instead of simply telling users that their battery is old, this is why your phone is shutting down, please replace it.
