The biggest issue with Azure functions is the pricing model where you have to provision and pay for servers to execute your functions... How is that serverless?

Less scrupulous executives and managers at Google[0] could wield great power. For example, let's say you post something online that's critical of Google. Google may have the capability to trace it to you and then maybe your business doesn't appear as high in search results, or you have trouble with your YouTube channel. And how would you know? Who could you complain to?

Perhaps some regulation is needed, at least in areas where one company wields enormous market power.

[0] That may sound unlikely now, but executives come and go and things change rapidly. How do you think Uber under Kalanick would handle this kind of power, for example.

> he part of trust you are taking away is not between people, but towards the ability of the State to issue money and regulate its value.

Not 100% complete. You are also taking away the requirement that the seller trust the buyer. Assuming of course that both the buyer and the seller are willing to wait for the transaction to clear before delivering the product.

You are correct though, that it does not take away the need for the buyer to trust the seller.
Sure, which may be fine for the burden of proof for a personal opinion.

Incorrectly using evidence to support your opinion as you broadcast it at work, and not listening, discussing, or considering critical feedback (like this) is a different matter. Especially when it means incorrectly classifying your co-workers and trying to change how your work fights social biases.

For all the miraculous cancer drugs we develop, we don't spend enough time or effort making sure they're obtainable by actual cancer patients. All of the "advances" you tout are only available to a certain privileged class of first-world citizens.

It's great you have access to prepared food and an airplane, but for those who aren't part of the jet-set, no progress has been made in addressing or solving any of their problems or making their lives easier.

There's no app to make daycare more affordable for single parents. Laundry doesn't do itself any better than it did 50 years ago. The blockchain doesn't hold police accountable for shooting unarmed civilians during traffic stops. Owning a smartphone doesn't provide you with competent or affordable legal representation when you need it most. Having a GPS transmitter on your person still can't reliably help 911 operators guide first responders to the actual scene of an incident. Nobody dependent on public transit to get to their retail job is saving up for a Tesla. Public schools are still underfunded, and we have entire generations with underdeveloped critical thinking skills plugged into a global network of lies and misinformation for most of their waking hours.

It's obvious none of these things affect you, but come on. At least pretend like the little people exist. The answer to a perceived lack of social progress is not suggesting the dissatisfied should renounce materialism and adopt someone else's rural way of life.
I'm using Ubuntu 17.10 on a 2015 Retina MBP 15. All three of those things work for me.

If your hard drive is big enough, consider dual-booting. It's easier if you use refind as the boot manager.

You can even triple boot (MacOS, Ubuntu, windows).

EDIT: You didn't mention whether your macbook has a retina screen or not. If not, then I'd prefer an XPS 13. If retina, then I'd stick with the Mac.

If you don't need to dual-boot, then installing Ubuntu is really easy.

The term for this is called "labor mobility".

Instead of increasing commute times, more typically it involves simply not taking jobs that are further away.

Restricting labor mobility is really bad for obvious reasons: people not being able to move where the jobs are means jobs not being filled even as unemployment increases. There is overwhelming evidence that labor mobility has gotten drastically worse in recent decades, and local NIMBYism is one of the major causes: http://neighborhoodeffects.mercatus.org/2017/01/26/why-the-l...

Compare this to China, which has had tens of millions of people flock to brand new megacities for the new job opportunities there.
So a secretive thing launched in space now suddenly disappears? I don't know but to me seems like a pretty normal way of saying "stop looking this way or asking questions."
> In the first five years of the smartphone era, the proportion of Americans who said internet use interfered with their family time nearly tripled, from 11 per cent to 28 per cent.

It is a pet peeve of mine when these kinds of casual exaggerations enter into a statistic. An increase by a factor of ~2.55 is quite far from a factor of 3.

I could argue the global population has nearly tripled since 1959 [1]. This is a rounding of similar proportions, which would lead you to believe there are 9 billion people on Earth rather than 7.6 billion.

That sleight of hand incurrs an error of 1.4 billion people.

"Smartphone use takes about the same cognitive toll as losing a full night's sleep"

What does this even mean? Does it mean your cognitive performance after using a smartphone daily is reduced to the level it would be at if you hadn't slept at all the previous night? Does it mean cumulative smartphone use is as harmful as cumulatively skipping a full night's sleep? (Which is clearly false, but to me sounds like the most natural interpretation of the author's statement.) Is it about your cognitive performance right after getting off your phone, or does it still apply if you last used your phone several hours ago?

But given the lack of citation, I will follow you in assuming that it's false.
"Tancítaro represents a quiet but telling trend in Mexico, where a handful of towns and cities are effectively seceding, partly or in whole. These are acts of desperation, revealing the degree to which Mexico’s police and politicians are seen as part of the threat."

Not to say this is far along the road of chaos, but chaos is always the correcting factor to things. At the end of the day people are going to look out for their best interests no matter the official state line/laws.
I may have been using rhetoric; but I would be surprised if the direct cost ( lab time, process control, packaging, etc. ) were more than $40/dose.

And consider that most of the research on which Humira, Embrel etc. came from was sponsored by the US Taxpayer.
I was thinking about this the other day.

There is nothing "smartphone" about games. A board game, a video game, or even sports is a game that is fun and engaging that anyone can do together, as is any smartphone game.

There is nothing "smartphone" about the news or social media or email. These have all been here, and just moving them to our pockets alone can't be that damaging.

And there is nothing "smartphone" about ads or paid content or even facebook likes.

What's "smartphone" is the immediacy and the frequency of the connectivity. It's the bond that is stronger -- and hence the more of us more strongly bound to our phones.

But this alone can't be damaging. It's just amazing. What is damaging are the businesses, and people mind you, that abuse this bond. Ourselves included.

So what we really have is a new tool that just gives us more of what we want faster.

Of course this is game changing. Of course this is dangerous. But whether we let this damage us is still a choice. And at the end of the day, a lot of it is just people abusing and damaging people. It's clear we can't help ourselves. But we can also help ourselves, which is what most of these articles appear to be about.

The point being, demonizing smartphones is just shifting blame. Getting rid of them is getting rid of the problem, not finding a solution. With the overarching point being, they themselves are not that dangerous.

They can't be.

Or maybe I'm still missing something...

Using GoPro-branded surf camera mount, tether, and float. One time the tether broke, the other time the tether pulled the plastic bit off the board.

Which policies don't help? There have been a broad array of diversity policies attempted over the years. Do you have any evidence suggesting that they all fail?

Here's [1] an overview of a bunch of programs. It includes data on how they've affected employee composition and discusses why certain things fail or succeed. The first success it cites is voluntary diversity training. The sort Google has. The sort that James Damore attended and then got angry about.

There are also a lot of non-university research positions.

> senolytic drug candidates, dasatinib plus quercetin if you're fine with short burst of chemotherapeutics, or FOXO4-DRI

How does one go about self-experimentation? FOXO4-DRI is for sale on the internet, but one needs a doctor to read the mouse studies and formulate a treatment plan. The same goes for dasatinib plus quercetin. In the mouse models it needs to be administered monthly. Is there a country one can visit today that has access to these peptides and drugs and willing doctors to create a plan?

My best guess is that we see internal politics leak out. Product names are a "leaky abstraction" over organization structure. In the case of Google:

Chief Googler: "We need a payments product: Google Wallet"

time passes

Android Team: "Google Wallet does not fit mobile well and the Wallet team is in another building. Let's do our own thing: Android Pay"

time passes

Chief Googler: "WTF? Why do we have two payment solutions? Let us merge them."

Android Team: "We will not give away our control to Team Google Wallet! They have no clue about mobile."

Team Google Wallet: "We will not give away our control to Team Android! They have no clue about big business."

Chief Googler: "I just created a third new greenfield project. You will both cooperate there. Let's try if it works out."

Android Team: "Ok that works for us"

Team Google Wallet: "Ok that works for us"

time passes

Team Three: "Hey this actually works fine on mobile and big business."

Chief Googler: "Great. Now let's make this public. Oh, and ... Android Team and Team Google Wallet, you are terminated."

Essentially, it was a manager hack to make two teams cooperate. Names have a lot of power when groups of people interact.

(I have no clue what actually happens inside Google)
But isn't the agreement of not releasing early more to do with coordinating with other vulnerable systems? The person who found the vulnerability wouldn't care if one OS releases before another. But if I am Ubuntu, I'm pissed if openbsd released early and publicly reveals a zero day that I'm not ready to patch yet.
Using weasel words like "standard network management" doesn't imply those standards conform to net neutrality principles. It's clear that that some of those standards, such blanket blocking port 25, are a direct violation of net neutrality.

I did notice you tried earlier to change the definition of net neutrality by claiming it "doesn't prevent network operators from stopping malicious activity on their network", when really there is no exception for this. Like netflix tried to do, you can't decide what is and what isn't net neutrality just to fit your viewpoint.

I fully understand why you're trying to avoid this topic by describing at as "extremely unhelpful" because I know it's a sore point many people try to avoid discussing. But I have no qualms pointing out flaws in other people's arguments :).
Shoveling the next day is also likely to happen in the morning, maybe slightly after. At this time the blood pressure is rising close to its peak or even already peaking. The riskiest time to do hard physical work.

EDIT: why all the downvotes though? Do some people think doing physical work at peak blood pressure is not risky? It's not an anecdata.
iOS has excellent controls so we locked down an old iPhone for our kids, 5 and 8, to use to listen to audio books (connected to my wife's library card), take pictures, add notes and sketches, and add contacts with all their friends' names (no voice or text). One picture got posted to Facebook before we figured out the OS was still logged in to Facebook despite deleting the app.

They do ask when they can have phones. In their wildest dreams they would text and call their friends all day long, so thankfully the brain warping stuff has not entered the picture yet. They know it's a long ways off, but they are curious and want to get a sense of the time frame. For now we stall and talk about the risks and responsibilities with them while we gather data such as referenced in the OP.

Unfortunately Android's controls are pathetic, at least in v4 which we had. One of the kids got into the play store and downloaded a bunch of princess and pet type games one day. No harm done but the whole situation raised great lessons for everyone.
Well, that's balls-breaking news.
It's not a question of blame, it's a question of the results of a particular policy. Rent control creates an incentive for landlords to bully their tenants. You can create another government agency to police this, but in reality that is extremely difficult because you can do a lot of bad things legally, and trying to police that will have negative unintended consequences in itself. It also causes bad behavior that would be impossible or incredibly undesirable to police, such as simply neglecting the state of the housing and shared spaces. We've already learned decades ago that rent controlled housing rapidly deteriorates.

Perhaps another example: the drug war. Making marihuana illegal creates criminal activity other than just selling it. You could say "okay, so just police that", but that's not so easy in the real world, and we've seen the negative consequences of attempting it.

A lot of problems would be solved if politicians thought less about the intentions of their policies and more about the incentives those policies create. Too many policies make bad behavior rational. Even worse is that once you do that it's not just that good people start behaving badly, but also that bad actors out compete the good ones. A good policy aligns self interest with the common interest.
Who here has more information about this "Instagram strategically withholding likes to exploit craving"? This seems like a serious issue.
Just because they have a rational interest tells you nothing about the probability. It's a little rude to throw out a bold claim ('when the Republican Congress decriminalizes marijuana ahead of the mid-terms' as if that were highly probable) and then suggest tabling the discussion when you get refuted.

Sure, if you think they should do it, totally valid opinion. Talking as they are going to implies knowing something that everyone else doesn't, which is why you're being challenged about it.
1. Whether or not the Big Five are appropriate for the analysis or not, or whether they're ultimate truth or not, doesn't really matter for the point I and GP were making: Damon's terminology is jargon from differential psychology and easily misunderstood. ("Women score higher on neuroticism on average" does not mean "Women are too neurotic to work as engineers in big companies", or whatever.)

2. I think it takes more than one article (which has been cited once, by the author themselves) to unseat the Big Five.

In my academic experience, saying "Harvard University, PhD, Systems Biology, 2011-2013" without having finished would be seen as dishonest. I have a PhD, but before I finished I always said "anticipated" or "expected". It's possible that Damore did this inadvertently, but it seems like too convenient of a mistake to leave out his MS degree, just say PhD, and leave the claim up for years.

> People will find new ways to distinguish between one another.

I don't see anything especially wrong with that as long as said distinction isn't built on some kind of vertical hierarchy which involves downwards oppression/discrimination.

People can be vastly different yet still consider each other as equals. The only reason we think of this as a contraction is that for the longest time humans have solely organized themselves in vertical hierarchies where the "top" is supposed "the best" going down to the "bottom" with the supposed "worst".

That's why so many people are conditioned to always strife for the top, for them it's the goal of the game, but a games goal can be changed, just like its rules.
