Generally, I'd agree, although in come cases plans just change: A foaf of mine from Japan studied in Vienna. After graduating, he decided he didn't want to permanently go back to Japan's rigid social structure. So he decided to stay in Austria. (He later married my friend's sister.)
The more that changes the more it stays the same.
Note that with AF447 we had a very good idea where it had sunk (from finding debris 36 hours after it was presumed crashed), and it still took two years to find the wreck.

MH370 is orders of magnitude harder to find, and AF447 was a huge effort.

I hear this take a lot, but it really fails at some basic usability stuff. For example, the way it does code blocks breaks all the time, especially if the content has curly braces. As, you know, many many languages do.

I think we can just admit to ourselves that JIRA is bad. It’s ok to say it.
You can use them now with PostCSS if you don't mind restricting your variables to the root level (it can't polyfill the cascading nature).

You could also use them natively if you don't care about IE, which is becoming more and more reasonable.
The European welfare system is great for equality but it doesn't do much for opportunity.

I'm not sure what your argument is here. Are you saying there's more "opportunity" in the US because their healthcare sucks? What are you trying to say?
I can only expect that future will be worse. It may be that VM providers will find it unprofitable to offer a VM capable of running generic native code. Another thing that security products for desktops like Qubes OS that rely on hardware isolation to run untrusted code may need to reconsider their business model.

One thing is important - being regular. Like with cleaning the teeth, it is not enough to do it once a week.

Just start doing it, perhaps every morning, dedicate 15 minutes of each day to the meditation.

By doing it alone from the start is difficult. That's where sangha - a group of persons who practice meditation - comes to play. Others will help you and it is also easier to get up and meditate if you know that others come as well.

Another tricky think is to get rid of your expectations. You may have many ideas what meditation should bring to you, just abandon them all and let meditation surprise yourself.

My teacher always likened meditation to the soil dissolved in the glass of water - put soil in the water and shake it. Now just put the glass on the table and let it sit there for a while. After some time all the soil sinks to the bottom and above that you have clear water.

Same goes with your mind and that's also an explanation, why it is necessary to be regular - your everyday activities just mix the soil with the water and you tend to loose the clarity.

Just repeat and repeat.

It is a wonderful activity.

Hi, nice choice to start coding!
I would suggest to learn about javascript frameworks, such as Angular JS, acquiring full knowledge about User Interface and Interaction, then concentrate on a simply and lightweight server side environment such as Flask (a microframework written in python), You could learn basic concepts about web programming in a really fast way!

The web is so wide..starts with some Googling about those topics, I also would suggest some free course on Udacity Platform.

"Europe" is a huge place that's a lot more diverse than the US. Christianity is still official state religion in various places; Germany still has tithing baked into the tax system!

For what it worth, Dutch has "ij", which could be a letter, or diphthong, or two unrelated letters (in words borrowed from French, for example), and could also be written as "ij", or as "ÿ", or even "y".

There is no dedicated key on computer keyboard for it, but you are supposed to remember it's a unit when capitalizing, for example IJmuiden.

Perhaps this is working better at the moment than the American system in some regards (such as price), but I'm wary of any third party (especially the government) setting prices. Should the government tell Apple what they can charge for a phone, or what you can charge for your web service? A good system should set the price automatically. For those rolling their eyes, yes, clearly this market system for health care has not been invented yet. But that doesn't mean it's not possible.

Also, the Salvation Army is an evangelical church, and it is one of the most significant charities in the US.
I think that effect it's called by psychologists "fundamental attribution error". It has been studied for years:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fundamental_attribution_error
Many high-end late-era CRTs can do 1600×1200 or above at 60Hz or more while also being able to do 800×600 at esports-friendly refresh rates of 100Hz or above, all on a screen with an area which is still good by today's standards and with very low latency. You can now get a flat-panel monitor which does both a higher resolution and a higher refresh rate (and at the same time) but that basically wasn't true until a couple of years ago: and you'll pay quite a lot for that high-end gaming screen, and it still won't do 4K.
The US has also failed to ratify the UN convention on Rights of the Child.
Because for example most consumers don't care.
Do you have openings other than Network Engineer like full-stack, application etc ?
My perception about religion is coming from the fact that evangelicals supported Trump and recently Roy Moore. Without that support, the ACA wouldn't be dismantled and a lot of minorities would be better off. It's like evangelicals in America invented their own form of Christianity that is far different than what Jesus preached.
Apologies, you were absolutely correct. Thought I'd switched to open beta prior to posting. Let me know if there's any further trouble. ^^

Things like Lasik, Invisialign, and plastic surgery prove the market can work in healthcare. They are relatively affordable and good service is easy to find.

I will admit that these may work because they fall into the area of human vanity, and our current image obsessed society may be driving that behavior.

But then, doesn't that hint the total healthcare market could work with similar market adhering dynamics as in Lasik (its easy to get a quote and find a competent doctor) and a long run advertising campaign, a la brushing teeth back in the day, to get people to have regular checkups rather than ER visits.
> But equally europe needs more appreciation of self-reliance and entrepreneurship to enable a richer startup culture and let the EU become an economic leader instead of follower.

Does it? Is the purpose of a nation state to compete with others based on economic metrics? Yes, I know that most countries are doing that, but in a thread where we compare individualism/selfishness with nanny/"charity" state, shouldn't this competition be questioned?

Your comment about religion is not correct.

Religion is about making you feel bad. I am sure that churches do help the community but it often comes with the hidden price of guilt and needing to ask forgiveness weekly.

The Southern Baptist in particular are a perniciously hateful organization. They actively promote bigotry and discrimination while hiding behind the bible without blinking an eye.

Come to the south near an abortion clinic and tell me how much love and empathy you find from Southern Baptists.

Organized religion is a cancer in America.

There is no competition. The day there is competition is the day you walk in to your doctor's office and the prices are posted above the reception desk like a restaurant menu. $50 general visit, $75 for a broken arm, $100 treat common infection, etc. You don't see prices because you don't pay. Insurance pays. If you are ever without insurance and have to pay, they always have different, lower rates. Doctor's scamming insurance companies, insurance companies scamming the government, the government scamming all its citizens.

It comes from The Strand Magazine, No. 13, from 1892.

Scanned PDF has almost 300 MB, but its text description says:

The accompanying picture shows what can be done with snow, by those who care to exercise their powers of modelling, and produce something more natural in appearance than the familiar old " Snow Man," built up
after the figure of a Lowther Arcade Noah. During a lull in the severe frosts of last winter, two ladies (amateurs, who had never had a lesson in modelling), with the assistance of only a shovel and pair of scissors, erected and modelled the " Snow Lady" in a garden near Pangbourne. No foundation of any kind was used, and no sticks or wires were concealed under the figure for the purpose of supporting head, body, or arms. An enlargement of the original photograph was shown at the Photographic Exhibition during last autumn, and gave rise to many remarks, sage and otherwise. A large number of those who looked at it pronounced it as " No doubt very cleverly got up — but all humbug ! " " Real snow ? Not a bit of it ! Quite impossible ! "

This never works... People need to be forced into developing solution by creating more problems while solving existing one. Like "shit, the mars colony got wiped out by a diseases, no more humans to repair the stuff there, quick, figure out how to make robots that make more robots themselves, nothing else fits the budget". Or "shit, we underestimated the effects or magnitude of cosmic radiation on colonists, gotta accelerate work on those cures for cancer or we're fucked".

And "alternative priority" things like AI or, dunno, cancer-research, will never compete for the same money bucket as space exploration. They'll likely end up receiving significantly more money since space exploration will just increase their value by orders of magnitude. Economy is never a zero some game like "spend money on this vs. that" if you play it on a large enough scale since most stuff is either in excess of "creatable". Only real finite resource is "space you can practically reach to fast enough". Too bad some people have started to actually believe the made up rules of our "economy game".

Hmmm... now that I think about it, maybe our "economical game" is the problem: we've developed it so much, with manufactured needs and manufactured scarcities for the purpose of "hacking people into working the hardest they can", but now it's kind of turned against us. Maybe we need some serious rewrite of the code of global economy to start making the things that are technically possible actually possible...

High health care costs are not a mystery or a conspiracy. There are just many people in the industry that make a lot of money, and they charge high fees to maintain their incomes.
A question to the experts: why don't the criminals use smart contract platforms like Ethereum?

My amateurish take is that, for instance, a smart contract could work as an untraceable distributed Silk Road with escrow and everything else. Because there is no one machine where everything runs, it's impossible to shut down the server; there is nothing that links these transactions together, except for the commonly used Solidity code.
How does that work in parallel with "It's my device, I'll do what I want with it"?

Those are all true, they just have nothing to do with what we are talking about.

You go to England and tell me they don't have mass surveillance, the EU has plenty of regulations that benefit companies not consumers,

The US is far from perfect but again I would challenge you to find a country with better opportunity as an immigrant.

I was talking about protected rights in the context of material rights and the opportunities this land provides.

The reason why Scandinavian style healthcare (unfortunately) won't work here is that it's not like Scandinavia and it can never be like Scandinavia.

Even Obamacare which I as a person with two melanomas under my belt is very happy with isn't really working.

Only technology will help in the long run. The US healthcare system can't be solved realistically through political means.
Surprised that this totally blows past the chemical reasons why not. There's an excellent answer by shigeta on the Biology Stack Exchange[1] to this very question.

His major answers are that electrical conductivity is likely to be a huge problem for the nervous system, and that iron and aluminum readily oxidize (aka rust). Iron oxidization is useful in hemoglobin but would be problematic in your bones, and while a body could be designed with conductivity in mind, it would at minimum also take a reworking the nervous system.

The mention of AOT is promising: quick startup w/ Go-like performance based on static AOT and profile-guided JIT optimization of hot paths.
Any future plans to use stablecoins (eg DAI) instead of Bitcoin for retail payments?
If conductive bones are problematic, why do Titanium pins etc. not cause problems?
The record player in my dad's mid-80s Sony hifi recently stopped working.

He called the local Sony store to buy a spare part and the assistant was born after the part ceased production.

Begrudgingly he had to replace the record player.

Every (remaining) part of that old Sony is beautiful, unmistakably 80s but so well designed and finished it's still a joy to use; plus it sounds great.
I have a cheap trinitron (here is hooked on a retro PC running Quake [1] and here it is running a retro game i'm working on [2]). As far as colors go, it has hands down the best looking image in any of my other monitors, including a Dell U2713HM which i bought because all the artists in the (gamedev) company i worked at used it and recommended it to me (and i also used it myself at work, but wanted other opinions too), especially when it comes to contrast. Black looks like black, not washed out gray and white looks like white.

The only issue it has is that it has been used a lot (i got it used) and the guns are wearing out so it is a bit dim. I opened the case to calibrate it a bit using a guide i found and it was mostly fixed, but i avoid using it for too much because, well, things are only going to get worse. So i only use it in short bursts mainly to play older 2D games, like Fallout, that look way better in a CRT than any flat panel tech.

Which basically leads me to the main thing that CRT has over any modern tech: native support for multiple resolutions. Pretty much any resolution between 320x200 to 1280x1024 looks as good as it gets (although 1024x768 is the best resolution for this monitor due to size and refresh rate which maxes at 85Hz in that). With flat panels you are locked at whatever the native resolution and everything else looks blurry (if only Nvidia and AMD allowed integer nearest neighbor pixel scaling so we could at least get some resolutions crisper - that would also solve my main issue with 4K monitors, but that is another story).

As far as OLED goes, OLED seems to have the potential to match and perhaps surpass the best CRTs (and certainly my cheap one) but it first needs to come in the form of a PC monitor - preferably one that doesn't get discolored areas within the year. I have one of the first gen PS Vita handhelds which have OLED monitors and the image quality is great, so i'd like a monitor that looks like that.
