Well it's quite honestly bizarre that you would stop supporting the FSF. I don't think there is any other organisation in the world that is actively promoting what you value. As far as I know the FSF has never made compromises about its ultimate goals.

I share the same frustrations but I think honestly at this point Davinci Resolve 14 is the best video editor for Linux - nothing really competes. It is a bit of resource hog, but they have added a ton of capability in the last few years in regard to non-linear editing and I think if you seriously need to edit video on Linux that is where you should be looking. Also it's free.

The unfortunate reality is that the other LEOs that don't do something about the bad LEOs make themselves just as culpable. Worse, the LEOs that try to do something get punished by their fellow LEOs (even the 'good' ones) and their union. With that situation being the case, a blanket statement about LEOs being bad is not totally off base.
I'm incredibly excited to see what they come up with, but if it's just some tooling that further entrenches healthcare-via-employers then I'm going to be disappointed (for the reasons you point out about how crazy and stupid that system is).

These are all very smart people, so I have to assume that they have realized that insurance is a fundamentally flawed mechanism for providing the kind of health care we want, without a universal mandate - which, as private companies, they're not able to issue.

If they instead tackle health care via some other mechanism than insurance - say trying to drive down prices to make it more affordable via transparent pricing in a competitive marketplace (e.g., like the diagram in the article where doctors, pharmacies, etc, list their services) then that has a potential to be a huge, positive change.

That said, they're still operating in our regulatory framework, so they still do need to provide insurance to their employees. So I hope they're able to dual-band it - provide a high-deductible, low-premium HSA with contributions from the company, and let the employees shop on this marketplace from their HSA, while still being covered in the catastrophic case by the insurance plan.
And yet outcomes measures hardly moved inn the past 50 years, most of that from access, not technical improvements. Life expectancy, QALYs.

Contrast infrastructure and public health measures.

FULL STACK ENGINEER – ROR
Great job! I had thought of building something like this before. Some ideas I'd toyed with were:

- A tool for annotation so that people could comment on specific portions of papers. This could help new researchers in a field to more quickly understand the different broader contexts in which a result can be interpreted, or the technical limitations of a given method and how that should be considered when say using the results to motivate other work.

- An option for some form of anonymised commentary, so that people could voice their views on a particular work without fear of reprisal. I think this would be amazing for non-tenured academics to exert some form of power in the community, if a platform like this were to take off. Of course, it would make for potentially very messy and difficult to moderate discussions.

Make it mandatory for ISPs to offer leases (at regulated prices) of their last mile to competitors. All of a sudden, the barrier to entry for new wired ISPs drops.

Then, when an ISP fucks up sufficiently, competing ISPs can actually jump in and fill the gap. That last mile is what is building the internet monopolies.

This is an article with lots of great examples of what not to do.

The "Gaps" example is more abstract art than data representation.

The "Category" examples lack any explanation of the colors in the figure captions.

"Zooming" is a selection and is biasing. It should be accompanied with numbers indicating efficiency and bias. There is also no indication of the statistical uncertainty of these measurements. Let me use that to determine if the data is too "granular" on my own.

Interpolation is not a good suggestion in any case and the example shown is neither sparse data nor was an interpolation performed.

Those are like different concepts. While Rust macros work on the AST and take AST nodes as arguments C++ templates are a whole meta language that also allows for code execution. I would say that Rust macros mainly do code generation while C++ templates also allow for computation.

Well, you can actually do stuff a 3d printer does by other means. It just typically requires more skills, and often more equipment.

I think your analogy falls down because an automatic bottlecapper does the same thing as you'd normally do by hand.

The difference for me is that a pick-and-place machine is an enabler. It would enable hobbyists to take on large-scale, distributed electronics projects - for which, right now, assembly time is normally the bottleneck.

If all hobbyists were solely interested in producing consumer-style devices, like bad versions of phones, or home-automation systems, then a pick-and-place machine wouldn't be a good idea for anyone. But there are actually lots of hobbyists that do stuff like data logging, where assembly time is a major problem.

Nice! Active Storage is a welcome addition, as file uploads are used in probably 90% of apps...

Here are the full docs, for anyone interested: http://edgeguides.rubyonrails.org/active_storage_overview.ht...

Worth noting is that direct upload to cloud providers is supported already! Really nice, a crucial feature IMO – I had created my own set of libraries of deal with this in the past, so we'll see how this stacks up.

This is the part of it that I like and hold on to. No ceremony, straight to the point. What I wouldn’t mind losing is the needlessly giving opinions about everything. Especially commenting on what could be better when it concerns things that can hardly be changed at all. If nobody’s asking, keep it to yourself, unless you’re confident you’re adding something to the conversation. In my experience, most opinions come out when there’s nothing else to talk about.

It's trivially easy to upload some scanned provenance documents to your Google Drive, so later you can send them to the next buyer. If that predictably and strongly increases the sale price, why isn't everyone doing it already?

There are other startups like this. People aren't losing weight as much as they'd like, clearly there's an unmet demand that the blockchain can meet! But if you put the problem first, like helping people lose weight or keep track of valuable paperwork, any solution using blockchain would be at the bottom of the list.

My TaoTronics TT-BA08 can have two devices connected at the same time in receive mode (obviously only one can send data at a time).

HOWEVER - and this is a giant caveat - the firmware[1] is really dumb about this because if A and B are connected, A is sending audio, and you move out of range of B, it'll start a plaintive beeping.

[1] Might actually be a function of the chipset since it's happened identically on two different dongles that allowed two connections.
Taxis are only quick in the UK because everyone else is using public transport.

Squeeze her hand for a stranger. Every person who has lost someone to cancer, and everyone who has survived it, and all of the people who watched that fight- all of us have her back and stand with her. She's fighting one of the hardest battles put to a person, and she has our respect and awe. I saw my friend at his weakest, and also when he was stronger than anyone I've ever known. It's been years but still, I'm crying. Cancer is personal. Once it touches you, and you see the enemy, you see how everyone is fighting your enemy. I'm grateful to her. We'll be cheering when the bell rings for her- all of us.

Fuck cancer.

I'm fascinated by its first use as a golf ball finder. I frequently have the idea that my subconscious has a much better idea where my ball went than my conscious mind does when my central vision loses the ball (or never had it).

You need to at least partially believe or suspend disbelief regarding such a mechanism for it work.

I similarly wonder if the micro facial ticks or subconscious "gives" from an attacker could be read by the user of the fake bomb detector. Essentially the device let's people make judgment calls using their "gut" feeling instead of being distracted by conscious false assurances.

Don't read this as justifying the fraud, just that the device may have a slightly greater than zero value. In a very different way than intended. If the choice was this security theater plus subconscious unlocker or nothing, maybe it was the right call. The problem with eliminating the fraud is that the slight value vanishes if no one believes in it.

The point that I'm making isn't that gang violence is bad in Chicago. I'm trying inform others why and what drives a significant portion of gang violence in Chicago and show it from the perspective of the people who drive that violence and what they're about.

The parent poster was talking about how gangs become the law and order because of the lack of trust in police. I'm saying the issue is wider and deeper than that. If you read the article, it becomes clear that one of the large driving factors for these rappers is the notoriety and fame they get from doing this is oftentimes the only way they can feel significant. It's a way for them to get money, sex, notoriety. Maybe even a record deal so they can get the hell out of the place they are in. What kind of chances and opportunities does an inner city youth really have?

This notoriety can twist back in its own ways too:
"The guy having the hardest time was Blaze. He seemed to be battling depression. At one point, after a shooting on a corner, he said to me, “Man, I’m so sick of this. I feel like a prisoner in my own neighborhood. I can’t go anywhere. I can’t go to my job because I don’t know if the opps will be there to come after me.” He was wallowing in how badly he wanted to be done with the gang life. He told me he wanted to move to California, but his reality felt inescapable to him. He started using PCP at an alarming rate. It was his way of coping. He became difficult to be around. He would stutter and trip over his words. His complexion got bad. His hygiene, too."

It's one hell of a life and not one that I could begin to imagine.
I think the Boris Bike system is fantastic (I commute on one everyday, !£90yr!), and actually think the dock model is best.

I think this is shown by how much they get used, every dock I go by probably sees a full rotations of bikes every 2 days!

The problem with the others, is that the allure of being able to leave your bike anywhere is instantly wiped out by never reliably being able to know where one will be, which also causes issues in distribution.

You cant efficiently redistribute bikes that don't congregate, and in order to be able to find them and not loose them, they need extra electronics, and batteries, and security features. OBikes location is bad because it trusts the location that your phone thinks its in.

A dock being full (or empty) is an relatively uncommon inconvenience for me, but the docks are extremely dense (there are 3 within 1-2 minutes walk of my office, and about 4 1-5 minutes walk from my house), and to help with this, the App they provide will show you the closest stations, as well as how full those stations are. Because of this its never more than a 5 minute issue.

My only complaints are, they're a little heavy, though the hardware is 'good enough' to compensate for this. More councils need them installed (I heard this is just an issue of councils not wanting to pay the fee just yet). And I think they should increase the first cost tier to 40mins, that would make it cost effective as a commuter for alot more people.

My regular routes are Angel->E&C (~22mins), and Angel->Primrose Hill (~15mins)
Yes.

I increasingly believe there are kinds of anti-system crimes which should be punished with highest sentences. I'm thinking of crimes that have disproportionate, negative impact on stability and security of society. Like this. Or fucking with vaccinations, like CIA people did.

(Incidentally, I also believe that the guy responsible for fake bomb detectors (from the other thread on the frontpage today) should get at minimum a murder-level sentence, for willfully putting lives of lots of people in danger.)
Why do you think the real name is important? I think that there are so many people in academia whose position is precarious and subject to the whims of people in powerful positions - many of whom have ego issues. It would be great to have an anonymous forum that the community used to discuss the current state of their field where people could be more open about their (potentially controversial) opinions. This could work out better for science.

A statement about scientific research should stand on its own merit, regardless of who it came from.

At a previous job my first project was building a webscraper and some processing tools to pull down every application for preliminary permit ever filed with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission to build a pumped storage plant.

The basis for this was two-fold, first, to get some kind of backing of what the potential supply might look like based on developer assumptions up to that point in time, second (and more germane to this discussion) to pull out every cost characteristics we could find in order to build a more robust set of cost models and cost prediction tools than had existed up to that point. Hydro costs are extremely site specific, so this is typically an onerous process.

I suppose the kicker here is that I was at a national lab and nominally employed by the Department of Energy, and they has such a sub-optimal grasp of hydropower that we were in the process of writing the first big national report on the resource in a long time[1]. Now hydro's also part of NREL's annual technology baselines[2], which was similarly fun to work on.
