Schooling is definitely a major issue. My nephew has to be at school by 7:15 am. It’s absolutley asinine to believe that pre-teens and teens can be functional or able to actually learn anything at such an hour. Not to mention the fact that every school is different. His younger brother, for example doesn’t start school until nearl 9:00. And this is an elementary and a high school in the same district. It’s insane. So their mom has to figure out how to get them to school a vastly different times, then figure out how to make it to work at a reasonable time given her schedule.

I definitely agree that this is a major issue that we need to address.

I was being curmudgeonly.

Sure, cell phones can contribute to personal safety; whether it actually does in a standing-room-only rock concert given the distribution of risks one is likely to encounter in that context is another matter. I have a hard time imagining one, except a medical emergency, maybe? Except that having people find security might truly be more expedient.

Besides, I cam imagine real harm. Everyone simultaneously receiving a false alarm that a ballistic missile is headed there way might actually cause Widespread Panic to come out and play an encore.
> Of course, someone will probably have to audit their code to ensure they really are protecting our privacy

Not doable, because despite declaring (at the time that Mozilla merged with them) that Pocket would become open source, that never happened. To put it another way, we're a month away from the one year anniversary of the date that Mozilla decided to begin operating a closed source, for-profit service.

PS: This is your periodic reminder that the thing you're probably thinking of when you hear the name "Mozilla" actually went away years ago and doesn't exist anymore.[1] It's got the same name and looks kind of the same, like an alien in a human suit, but it's silly to give this any more weight than it deserves. If it helps, think of Mozilla as having undergone a reverse takeover. (It's more complicated than that, and most of it actually predates the Pocket stuff, but if it helps, it helps.)

Yeah, while FT-8 is really well put together nothing about it that is really that esoteric.

I really wish things like Forward Error Correction and more complex modulation made it down to the VHF bands. The fact that the standard protocol there is 1200bps without FEC and basically stuck in the 80s is really a shame. (Yes I know DSTAR/DMR/C4FM exist but they're largely locked into specific mfgrs).
I took several pictures with my wife in them, and absolutely zero pics of the scenery or the monument. When I got home, I inserted some random high-res professional pics from recognizable vantage points into an album and called it a day. I don't feel shortchanged.

That's a standard service at Disneyland.[1] Costs $169.

I've seen the code of conduct thing work even before smartphones were ubiquitous -- even the open mic night at Eddie's Attic in Georgia was an event where the manager made it very clear that the venue was a Listening Room, not a place for talking over the performance, and if you wanted to use your phone in any noticeable way, you needed to step outside. And I saw him dress down and kick out a customer that decided to ignore the rule.

It's harder with larger crowds, but I think a policy with clear expectations that can result in you losing your privilege of attending is a better choice than asking people to check valuable (and useful) property at the door.

I didn't downvote you, but MM in Roman numerals is million. It is also common enough to represent roman numerals in lowercase that mm, as used here, is totally valid.
Are you equating "flourishing" with "being in your prime"? Because I don't consider those to be the same.

Being in your prime is about peak potential. And sure, the age at which you have peak potential varies by activity. My early 20s is when I have the _opportunity_ to be the best sprinter I'll ever be. That's my prime. But say I first take up sprinting in my late 30s, and put in my best sprint time at the age of 40. I might be "flourishing" at that point, but in no way does it mean I'm in my prime at age 40. The 20 year old version of myself, with the similar conditions and preparation, is simply physically capable of sprinting faster.

Certainly, there are activities where your peak potential is greatest in middle age. I'm not disputing that (however, I'm highly skeptical that memory and physical ability are in their prime past age 40).

> I'm surprised one would bring up such abnormal elements; the lives of NBA players and elite chess players deviate very far from that of a normal human

I mean, where can I get performance statistics for "normal people"? If we're talking about maximizing potential, why not look at the ones putting in the most effort toward that goal?

Also, the linked ELO ratings were for 179,221 "registered FIDE players". They weren't just the top-100 or even top-1000 players. Yes, this is biased toward people who play chess - but where else can you get the data?

I'm curious what you think a "normal human" is? Do you think any of those 179,221 chess players are "abnormal"?

That's one of the most disturbing stories I've read in a while. It's unbelievable, felt like I was reading science fiction. I wonder if there are ways to protect oneself in old age from being a victim of that...
It reminds me a bit of the commemorative orbital plaque in Planetes that Debris Section has to perform a controlled atmospheric reentry on. The newcomer to the team is distraught that they have to destroy a monument to peace, but when she finally has a chance to read it moments before burn, she realizes that even it was only ever a piece of propaganda.
The problem is that every country can curtail trade. The world is far more interlocked now and any country trying to extract itself from that reality will undoubtedly go into an economic recession.

> Lots of diving accidents reports starts with someone being overconfident (ignoring the recommended safety limits or his personal limits), ignoring safety-checks and/or losing his diving buddy.

I am not a diver but I have come close to losing my life three times in the backcountry. Each time I remember my overwhelming thought was "I have been an idiot". And, as you noted, each time: I was alone (or with my dog but no other human), and was overconfident both in gear and experience.

Interestingly in two of the three cases my dog saved my life. Though I knew full well that Lassie is not a documentary, it always felt like I had someone with me.
In the Redis sense, streams are just a new data structure (value type of a key), so there shouldn't be any special concerns with regards to Sentinel, partitioning and/or clustering in that sense.
My understanding is that there are different definitions, where generally meditation is some sort of thought cultivation.

But the way I learned, you meditate in order to enter samadhi. Samadhi is a Sanskrit word that means right concentration/proper concentration, and it is what allows you to gain insight. It represents a class of meditative states that you enter and can last for short time or long time, typically when you leave samadhi you feel very good, very peaceful and blissful - you reduced your thinking process thus your afflictions too. The higher your samadhi, the better your concentration and wisdom. Without samadhi, meditation is just analytical thought process.

So, if any practice (prayer included) is to be meditative it has to enable you to enter samadhi IMHO. I believe that's why it has a different feel for you.
Munchery tried this but, at least IMO, the food quality was not great. They had to use a lot of salt and preservatives to make the food hold and transport from their central kitchen. Also they did a lot of things to improve efficiency and cut costs which made the food taste unnatural...
When one has read WaPo and watched the "Sunday conventional wisdom shows" for enough years, one gains amazing powers of self-delusion. For instance, one might be convinced that the litany of leaks you mention, and the thousands of leaks you didn't mention, were all intentional at some level. Maybe it was counterintelligence? Since you mention F-35, you might consider the fact that Lockheed made hundreds of millions of dollars "redesigning" the plane after the Chinese got all the original designs. If you wait to ask until late enough at night, some of these mooks will tell you that Snowden was some sort of 5-D chess maneuver! After one's brain has deteriorated to such an extent, why wouldn't one believe in FBI crypto magic?

Close friend worked for Proctor & Gamble in a town where they were a very large employer; he left to start his own business.

For the majority of those jobs you're going to be making more money, too. Take, for example, construction work. Sure, your disability, workman's comp, etc. is going to be higher than if you're working a desk job. But at the same time the going rate for a random illegal immigrant you pick up at Home Depot around here is $20/hr.

This is such a shallow and narcissistic gesture.
Sure. Here's some quick advice:

- Try to think about what your reader is thinking. It's not enough just to technically have stated something. Make sure you say it in a way that's easy to digest.

- Video games need playtesting. In the same vein, books need reader testing, especially when you're first starting out. Get other people to read your work.

- Work with what you have, but work hard at it. Writing is a skill. I'm a pretty good musician, a pretty good writer, and a pretty good programmer. I happen to have talent for all of those things. But I also did a LOT of playing music, a LOT of writing, and a LOT of coding -- starting when I was very young (well before my teenage years) -- to turn those talents into skills. Every good writer has done the same.

- If you want to be published, get a feel for how the actual publishing industry works; editors are people, they have jobs, make their jobs easier.

- Write, write, write. Then write some more.

And I think Jeremy Gibson Bond had some very useful advice about writing video games for either fortune or fame in his excellent book, "Introduction to Game Design, Prototyping, and Development":

> Designer-Centric Goals

>

> As a game designer and developer, there are some goals for your life that you hope the games you make might help you achieve.

>

> Fortune

> My friend John “Chow” Chowanec has been in the game industry for years. The first time I met him, he gave me some advice about making money in the game industry. He said “You can literally make hundreds of...dollars in the game industry.”

...

> Fame

> I’ll be honest: Very, very few people become famous for game design. Becoming a game designer because you want to be famous is a little like becoming a special effects artist in film because you want to be famous. Usually with games, even if millions of people see your work, very few will know who you are.

(Gibson Bond, Jeremy. Introduction to Game Design, Prototyping, and Development: From Concept to Playable Game with Unity and C# (p. 107). Pearson Education. Kindle Edition.)

If you want to get rich and/or famous, don't go into writing. Make sure you know your own personal goals. If you want to shoot for the stars, that's great -- just make sure you know what you want.

Because there is value in having delivery-you're essentially selling convenience. That comes with a cost

> It's easy to see that you can deliver to somebody and somebody's neighbor for approximately the same cost as delivering to just somebody,

And it's also easy to see if you have to deliver to one person on one side of the city and to another side right after it will be much more expensive. Not only do you have issues of food freshness (which means customer dissatisfaction) but also wear on a vehicle, insurance, gas, etc. To make up for it the cost of delivery will skyrocket-and thus people will not pay the premium.

Also-what about food locations? You're assuming that enough people in a very small radius will want to order the same food from the same place. That will almost never happen.
Because JS doesn't clone natively and library behavior varies somewhat, our team has started to consider deep-copying and cloning to be a smell. It forces the maintainer to figure out how exactly the copying/cloning is going to work, and it also creates nasty bugs when modifying a class without knowing it'll be copied or cloned somewhere.

We instead only use immutable, plain ("POCO" or "POJO" in other languages) objects for data. If you want to copy an object, you have to call the same functions to change it that you called on the original. If the functions are deterministic (as they should be), then you get identical objects at the end.

Our code base is effectively functional, even though we still use objects as our syntactic sugar (addOwner(car, user) becomes car.addOwner(user), etc.)
That's definitely part of our plan. We'd like to expose both data and some of the tools we're building.

pass-by-value, pass-by-reference and pass-reference-by-value are all distinct.

PHP does all three, pass-by-value (simple values), pass-reference-by-value (objects and arrays), pass-by-reference (when using & prefix)

The terms still have important distinctions in modern languages as they are functionally different.

A bitcoin is as real as anything else. It's ones and zeros stored in a distributed ledger on computers around the world. I'm sorry you're having trouble predicting the price, look up supply and demand. Either way it doesn't make it any less real.
So people who at some point liked enough anti-vaxers posts to cross the threshold will never ever see any article presenting the facts that prove it's not true? And beside why would you want to serve users only the things that they agree with? It's not good for them, just makes them more stupid & easier targets for disinformation, but it's not good for Facebook neither because people love arguing online and cutting it down means also cutting the user interaction with the platform too.
On the flip side UIs are a very effective way to demonstrate ideas to users, so long as you keep them lightweight. If you want quick feedback on requirements build a UI.

From my observations (lived 100m from a stage bar for a few years), 90% of the shows don't. But then an odd artist shows up and they're too cool to have an opening act and they actually start on time and boom you've missed half the show. :(
It looks just like Carma carpool[1], at least what they were attempting a couple years ago. They've been around a while, but I guess never had the network critical mass to really make it take off.

It's not controversial at all.

What is controversial is the (incorrect) notion that developers shouldn't use state. There are some perfect use cases for state and people somehow got the idea that they shouldn't use it (as opposed to not using it as the first tool, necessarily, if props can be used).
If that is actually your position, then you aren't a counterpoint to my original post.

I’d be curious to know in what kind of context such an all-encompassing line of reasoning occurred: is it in the context of prepping or somesuch? (Not that I look down on it because of that, much the contrary.)

Thinking of this kind of scenario is part of the reason I am so fascinating by SDRs capable of both reception and transmission: it seems to me that having one or two such devices linked to a ham-radio-grade amplifier and antenna every ten kilometers or so “makes sense just in case”.

The guy spying on your Tinder searches in Starbucks is kind of late to the party. Presumably you have paid for Tinder somehow and therefore Paypal or your other payment provider have sold that data point to advertisers already, perhaps Facebook have bought that too.

Then Tinder is owned by the same company that owns all of the other dating websites, so there is a whole tier of people there that have your data.

Then there are the adverts - I assume Tinder has them or could have them - so again you have another 27 trackers on the advertising side of things.

Of course there is nothing cloak and dagger about this, the T+C's explain it all and a click on an agree button has been made along the way.

Luckily we have too much data to deal with and whatever weird clumsy stuff said in messaging won't haunt you for life, e.g. adverts for some alternative lifestyle won't haunt you in the day job.

I have heard that 'dick pics' are a problem with dating, guys don't seem to get the message. However, if they had a box in the agreement that said 'all dick pics and naked chest shots in front of cars will be shared with your bank, Facebook, advertisers and third party marketing randoms' then that might change things a bit.
Naming things is hard. There's not a large supply of 4 letter words that would serve as a succinct label for what Waze purports to do. Considering Waze was sold for $1.3B, the founders probably aren't too worried about the disadvantages of the name in the UK.
