> Software is one aspect of that. If you are not a power user you'll likely never run into any of the issues you mention.

Most software I've seen is the opposite: consumer grade software has to work well, because a lot of times it's optional—if it doesn't do a thing well, users will just not use it. Whereas professional grade software is much rougher around the edges, because if doing a thing takes extra steps, users will take those extra steps. Because they need to accomplish their goal, they're a lot more forgiving of problems along the way, so long as they get to where they need to go.

Sure sucks to be a worker. When your salary rises your real gains will be inflated away.
GNU units can do this conversion natively (although it's harder to integrate into another program, because as far as I know its interface is only stdio).
Maybe they use the words "I, me, and myself" more often because they're trying to explain why they're sad to everyone who is trying to force them to be happy.

Seriously.. my wife and I have lost seven children before birth at this point, late enough in pregnancy to make them actual medical events, and to say we're sad and stressed is an understatement. The amount of people who have told us to forget about it and be happy is off the charts ridiculous. Hell, someone suggested we go on vacation, while my wife was hemmorhaging in the hospital, as if that would make it better. Obviously, we use the phrase 'I feel' or 'We feel' a lot -- saying "You're being obnoxious and a shithead" is a lot less socially acceptable than saying "I don't think we can do that right now".

I have a friend whose mom died while he was fairly young, and he used the phrase 'I feel' a lot too to explain why he was sad a lot of the time.

It's not surprising... happy people have little need to convey how they feel -- it's usually quite obvious, and everyone loves being around them. Sadness on the other hand, everyone wants to avoid, and most people are shit poor at being able to figure out when someone is down in the dumps.

Let’s assume it is a physical process. We can then recreate it away from a body. We run the experiment. Something is now experienced. Who is it that experiences?
At least around here, crowded places started removing door handles after the SAS epidemics on Asia. I am pretty confident it was because of health issues.
My first professional development language. It was old, when I started to use it in 1986. You had to be disciplined - 'cus' writing spaghetti was way too easy. My style was "structured goto's". :-) You got to remember this language was written on a PDP-7 with 4k -that's 4096 bytes- of main memory and before Edsger Dijkstra's letter "Go To Statement Considered Harmful", published in March 1968.

Wrote a simple web server with it for a VAX in 1999.

Loved how you saved data to disk. You just but a ^ in front of a variable declaration:

^myData

myData could be a "hash map" by doing an assignment with parameters

Thinking about it there's not a whole lot of distance between it and javascript. Guess that's why I like JS so much!

> In other words 70% of the deficit over the decade is coming from cuts from the top 1%.

I believe it's far more accurate to say that 70% of the tax cut-related deficit is coming from tax cuts to the 1%. The impact on the overall deficit is far less than 70% from those cuts.

>>a cost-effective way of solving that would be investing in solving the crimes they know about,

it also has to involve looking at what is classified as a crime. Today priorities are often tilted in the wrong direction and resources misapplied. This article has some of that in it... The Fentanyl epidemic. 30+ years of the war on drugs as proved that Drug Addiction can be be solved with the criminal system, even the most charitable understanding of the research points to laws have no effect on use or abuse, and if you look at it realistically you can find substantive arguments for criminal enforcement being directly leading to increase death not to mention other negative effects.

However there is a ocean of federal funding, external resources, Civil Forfeiture and political capital to be spent on the Drug War, Local police depts will have their budgets flush in cash to go hard on drugs.... However to go over iphone thefts, or ID Fraud, or Property Crimes, or even non-drug related violent crimes it is a cost to the local dept...

In order to police work effectively, they need incentives to redirect their resources off of drugs and on to the other crimes... We as society also need to accept that the criminal war on drugs is a failure and always will be, it needs to be a medical and social battle, not a criminal one.

The best thing we can do for crime and drug addiction, is to stop treating drugs as a crime
I'm looking into starting implementing Wayland support in Allegro 5 game library, which is basically a multiplatform way to get and handle a window with OpenGL context inside. You get some drawing API, some helper functions useful for games, events etc. There is no toolkit used, because why would it need one?

So I can support KDE's SSD protocol. Fine, can do it. But... what about other compositors, like GNOME's Mutter? Oh, great, so I'll have to implement full working window decoration by myself, only for this single windowing system on a single platform? How should it look? How should it behave? How should it be configured? Who the hell even thought that would be a good idea?

OK, let's check SDL2 then, it's a quite similar and nowadays more popular library, I wonder how did they do it, as I heard they have Wayland support already done.
Oh... window decorations on SDL2/Wayland are not implemented, so there is just no decoration. https://bugzilla.libsdl.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2710

Awesome. I'll probably end up with the same thing, as I'm using KDE Plasma and it will just work fine for me. Whatever.

CSD is an awful idea and whoever came up with it should feel bad. Massive step back.
It does not at all follow that because someone thinks that top marginal tax rates should be raised (amounting to hundreds of billions or trillions of dollars), they will unilaterally send a few thousand extra dollars beyond their statutory bill to the IRS with the expectation that that would accomplish anything.

> oh, just go ahead and memorize this list."

Children in China and Japan spend a tremendous amount of time simply learning basic orthography, such that literacy is delayed by several years relative to Western students. But does it really effect outcomes? AFAIU, neither does delaying the start of formal eduction in developed countries like Germany and Switzerland, despite theoretically losing 1 or 2 entire years of formal instruction.

Maybe these things matter at the margins, but for the most part it seems that all that matters is keeping kids engaged in the process of knowledge assimilation, regardless of form or substance.

The problem of getting kids to _enjoy_ and _appreciate_ this process... I don't think that's possible. The whinging seems inevitable even when kids are given choice of materials (but notably no choice to opt-out or to focus on something to the complete exclusion of everything else) and only gets worse with age, long into adulthood and then some.
>Some of us realize that each issue should be evaluated independently.

When it comes to basic cultural eras, which is what is being argued here, you have to make a choice. For instance, with respect to religion and government, should the government outlaw religion, as the postmodernist left wants, should religion be supreme as most of the premodernists want, or should we have the tolerance of modernity.

And which choice you make on this issue is deeply tied with similar other issues like science, technology, economics, education, sex roles, and so on, in three whole bundles. If you think you can pick and choose and come up with a society that doesn't fall apart quite quickly, you are quite mistaken.
I would not have worried too much of a Dow correction, but I feel like a trifecta of events are coming together that is a bit concerning. First, is the explosion of US government deficit which could potentially lead to austerity measures in the near future. Second is the threat of inflation and overheating. And third is the plunging savings rate of individuals. It almost appears that these three are moving to a confluence. Austerity + rise in interest rates + depleted savings could lead to a consumer spending crash in the near future.
SEC and CFTC Call on Congress to Consider Oversight for Crypto Trading Platforms
I mined bitcoins for 2 weeks in Feb 2009, backed up to an unlabeled floppy, and forgot about it. Until I accidentally crushed my then coaster and threw it away 2 months ago. 550 coins.

My best advice is: no coffee, no booze, no drugs, try to sleep, exercise, See a doctor, physical and mental. Pay a financial advisor and get an impartial ( not on this forum, opinion of what to do. ).
Take a low stress vacation, cruises are good, clearing your head is what vacations are for.
Science says you need AT LEAST 2 weeks to de-stress, so make it real. Either you take a vacation, or your job takes a permanent one from you.

It's a loss, possibly not permanent, but it was a gamble. I had no gamble, just an 8 figure loss.
That's laughably bad of Tesla - the thumb wide gaps in the body, the gluing rubber parts on glass seals because the original one was way out of tolerance, door rattle, one door having two ways to open but not the others - the screen that goes you have activated alternate door opening mechanism or some such thing - all pretty embarrassing. Never mind the insane difficulty to open the hood in an accident which looks like a real safety issue.

Also who in the 2018 world designs trunk doors that would take two hands to close for kids, smaller/older individuals? The non power operated trunk on my CR-V closes with a finger!
There have not been any new Tether grants (pumps) since Jan 23 and the price is collapsing accordingly.
The dollar has weakened over the past year, so knock off 1/4 point off any quarterly GDP numbers proposed, and knock 10 points off the 23% the 401(k) supposedly got in the past year, and consider any inflation comes with assymetric timing risk where wages always lag by a lot. And now in real terms the past year's stock increases look a lot more ordinary rather than remarkable. It's not like the stock market is going to ignore a weakening dollar, in particular when the Treasury Secretary publicly says it's a good thing as if it's an actual policy to have a weak dollar.

And working people have to feel the sting of inflation before they demand wage increases, they don't just automatically happen. Before that, interest rates going up might increase housing sales as people want to get "in" before the interest rates go up even more, and then housing will slowly taper off as inflation and interest rates take hold, and people get priced out of buying, since their wages will not keep up in the short term.

Inflation also helps pump up tax revenue, and monetize debts. So the numbers will look better, but in real terms they won't be better for a while until the markets fully correct for inflation and then things stabilize a bit.

You haven't been listening very carefully, have you. The postmodernists and the antimodernists are openly, explicitly opposed to reason. It is only the modernists who are for it. So if you are on the side of reason, you are a modernist, whether you want to admit it or not. And you state openly that you are for reason and think everyone who is for reason should act together politically, then you are a manifesto writer, again whether or not you like to think of yourself as one.

Stock prices aren't the outcome of lotto balls or coin flips. In theory, over the long-run, the price of shares will represent an equilibrium of investors' opinions of the intrinsic value of a company (divided by the number of shares). The intrinsic value is commonly modeled as the net present value of future cash flows plus a discounted terminal enterprise value.

For the same inputs (sequence of future cash flows, enterprise value, and weighted average cost of capital [discount rate]), the long-run value will be the same. If the near-term share price value rises more quickly than the long-run intrinsic value model, it is entirely reasonable to assume future growth of share price will moderate, as it must in order to converge on the same long-run value.

I think it's not at all like your example with 10 coin flips in a row.
If work dominated your every moment would life be worth living? (2017)
Absolutely not true. Days of stock market movement aren't independent events, they're loosely coupled together and with the economy overall. Your comment is a good example of, "Knowing just enough to get into trouble."
Definitely true. My impression is that I'd use it cabled with a battery pack (that could also power the Compute Stick), but since I already need micro-HDMI running off of it, that's two separate cables.

I've mentioned this idea to the Vufine team, but if they removed the battery (to lighten up the unit significantly), and switched the cable type to a USB-C that delivered both video and power, it could reasonably offload battery to an external pack, and run video along the same cable, and I'd maybe clip something on my belt and be rocking.

That being said, Vufine's current hardware isn't designed to be a day-use wearable, it's intended to be used for things like seeing the camera on a drone you're flying (which also has a very short battery life).
One more reason to use adblocker. The beauty of 3rd party scripts running on your website, hijacking people's passwords like it's no big deal.

I've used Mixpanel as a developer and also been disturbed how they combine analytics data with the user profiles creating really detailed profiles what they do on their website. Even that wouldn't be such a big deal if it was obvious to the user but really there is no law stopping companies from doing it. I hope GDPR will clear this thing out in the future and companies can't operate without user's direct consent and opt-in becomes the standard instead of opt-out.
It seems pretty straightforward: they likely aren't in favor of those policies either.
The Ionic is in it's early stages, but is much more of a "smartwatch" than their previous models. I can do payments with Fitbit Pay on it, and it's their first to support third party apps, though there's only a handful at the moment.

I'm not OP, but I've worked with Wordpress quite a bit in my day. To answer your question, it's a bit of column A and a bit of column B.

Over the last few years, Wordpress core had gotten quite a bit better (to the point that I have gone back to Wordpress for my personal site). But previously, the core was victim to some embarrassing security issues. In Wordpress' defence, I can't think of a single PHP application as old or as large as Wordpress that did not suffer from similar problems.

Plugins are often an unmitigated security clusterfuck. I've seen things in popular Wordpress extensions that have made me want to trade in my laptop for an abacus and go full luddite. (I've also seen some really wonderful code.) The big problem I see is that a plugin has to be extremely popular before anyone with much of a background in writing relatively secure code will ever read the code. And by that time, it's so popular that it keeps getting hundreds of installs no matter what kind of flaw you find. Some plugin developers/maintainers are incredibly diligent and helpful, but I've also been threatened with legal action (more than once) when I've disclosed some really amateur security issues.

There's some truth to the 'random variable' theory.

I think we only value stocks the way described (intrinsic value model) because its a cultural myth to do so. We can also think of stock certificates as baseball cards - of value mostly to other collectors. Sure there's a 'book value' or 'dividend value' behind them, but that's irrelevant most of the time for most stocks.
What? Why is that?
This is really neat. I was looking at FUSE for something last year and it never occurred to me to come from the other direction, so to speak.
I feel this way because I assosciate them with printers. Every possible touchpoint between customers and (all) providers in the printing space is unpleasant. They're constantly scamming people with pricing models, their software is terrible, both on-device interactions and drivers. They're terrible for the environment, as replacing your printer is often cheaper than buying more ink, and always cheaper than buying a replacement part, unless your printer cost several thousand dollars.

It's just... awful.

The setup at immigration has it so the officer can't see what you pushed. Yes you can see them, but they don't know what you pressed -- at least at every Airport in China I've visited.

This 4 scale smily face is pretty common in China, the started over 10 years ago. Even at places like banks and government agencies. They were a key part in how China got it's day to day corruption under control. People would pay bribes for service but leave a poor rating. And while corruption still exists in China, it is no where as in your face or omnipresent as it once was.
Good article, but it's misleading on one very important point. It talks only about Oxford Photovoltaics, so it leaves the impression it is the only organization working on perovskites. Actually, lots of other companies and research laboratories are.
This is where the opposing view will typically point at social programs, for starters. I suspect that no amount of feasible cuts to social programs would fully subsidize the spending that you mentioned and reduce the deficit but don't have the numbers.

To their point though, a person could reasonably support the tax cuts and seek to reduce the deficit on the premise that reduced spending would satisfy the latter over time. Whether or not the current administration is making a genuine attempt to do so is a separate argument and one that their comment did not mention.
I don't buy that, mainly because that only works if I can afford to sue those doing wrong. Most people cannot. Hence, why the government is there: to uphold these laws, and use everyone's collective resources to do that.
No, not when recording is as simple as noting after the moment that you might have liked to capture that, and then telling your smart device to preserve that last 30 to 60 seconds of buffered video.

I have little to no recording of my children by myself because getting the phone out is always a pain and seems to take too long and make me miss the moment. That doesn't mean the few videos I have aren't appreciated.

The best tools enhance our natural abilities, not replace them. Having an enhanced recall function would be appreciated by many, I'm sure.

1) Increase in interest rates.

2) Cut in discretionary spending in order to pay for the tax cuts. This in turn then slows the economy down.
