Photoshopped heads of celebrities on porn actors' bodies have been around for some time now and isn't, to my knowledge, illegal

They have been, since inception, illegal, in the sense that they represent a tortious act. They might be illegal in the criminal sense, depending on the jurisdiction, even in the US if absent meaningful context bringing the fake under the protection of the First Amendment as a form of speech.

The Leaf is a nice car, but it's not aspirational. Spoken as an EV owner.

It's like when the better looking kid gets more attention.

How a company that creates challenges for engineers hires its own engineers
The rarity of when this would be useful is what gets me. I have a programmable timer on my thermostat that I set to turn on when I expect to be awake and in the house during the week.

If I leave the house for a few hours on the weekend, there isn't a big enough energy savings for turning it off. My range of comfortable temperatures is large enough that feeling cold while sitting on the couch and needing to turn the thermostat up a few degrees higher than normal doesn't sound plausible. Like wearing a wristwatch, this just seems like more trouble than it's worth.
I'm starting to think that Prius and Leaf and other EVs are making the car look sooo bad on purpose.

The car gets the best mileage per charge in town (hybrids anyway), so "wind efficient" isn't really a thing.
> If the spirit of the post was a critique on the Gubment's official unemployment rate, I'd say the post was on point

Since every single claim it makes about the method in which things contribute to the official unemployment rate is false (because it is based on rules for qualifying for unemployment benefits that are irrelevant to being counted as unemployed in the unemployment rate), I can't see any reasonable way it can be described as an “on point” critique.

It’s conclusionay align with a belief that you bring with you from elsewhere, but that doesn't make it a good argument for that conclusion, irrespective of whatever merit that conclusion has separate from the actual argument offered in the post.

Hmm. Strange error. That Uncaught TypeError is unrelated. That happens when you click any element on the page because I removed a ton of the LinkedIn code and haven't been able to figure out where that's coming from yet, but it shouldn't affect how it works.

How many jobs do you have on your profile? Is it only not showing the first (newest/current) job? Or is it not showing your first job as in first on your profile (oldest)?

When it loads, it places everything onto the resume, then checks the height to make sure it'll fit on a single page, and if it doesn't fit, it removes items until it does fit.

So it looks to me like it removed your oldest job on your profile to get it to fit. I'm planning on making it more customizable - let people choose which items to remove to make it fit.

But also yes! I too have a bunch of projects I usually include on my resume, so I will definitely work on grabbing projects and getting them onto the resume.

There are some science fiction authors that postulate a galactic civilization putting the equivalent of traffic cones around the solar system telling others to not disturb the developing life there.

If you believe it, then it makes you wonder at what point in our development are we going to be able to see the cones for ourselves and then wonder about them? We now have two probes that have gone extra-solar and perhaps soon we'll have rocketry to send something toward Alpha Centauri.
Cryptocurrencies Are Like Ponzi Schemes, World Bank Chief Says
Because the Leaf has long been closer to a golf cart than a useful electric car. (Though it's getting better.)

The 36,200$ 2018 NISSAN LEAF® SL has a 151 mile range in theory, but you need a significant reserve meaning it's effectively significantly smaller than that. With a 30 mile reserve that's ~121 miles. And needs another $1590 to get a quick charge port and cable.

Tesla has continuously had a backlog of sales IMO because nobody else has gotten a great electric car to market.

Again, the Leaf has been getting much better over time and may work well for many people.
As someone else pointed out, I think NO_COLOR should be COLOR (my preferred name, and I've used it in many of my scripts) or CLICOLOR or whatever, to be able to force turning off or turning on colors.

I love CockroachDB, but feel like this article was a bit misleading in it's claims. I started out writing a comment response, but it got so long that it turned into a blog post: https://danielcompton.net/2018/02/08/add-context-cockroachdb....
Investors look at what management expected versus how they performed to gauge how well they know their business and market. When they say "We expect to lose $100M this quarter." and "only" lose $90M, even though it may be the most they have ever lost, it was less than they were expecting. So perhaps the business is better than they know.

The Bolt looks to be a much more useful vehicle, with a range of over 100 miles more than the Leaf.

I'm not crazy about the styling, but that's just personal preference. I wish automakers didn't feel the need to make EVs so gaudy and quirky looking. They just scream "look at me I'm a complete nerd!!"

Tesla is the only one who gets this right.
The headline makes it sound like bad news. This was actually better than expected news. This would be like having a headline of "Sports Team Scores Least Points This Season" burying the lede that they actually won the game.

To be sure, there is plenty of mediocre to bad news in this quarterly report. They still can't make cars at nearly the rate they expected. They're not even mentioning the the autonomous stuff any more. But the loss itself wasn't really bad news.
Agreed, reddit's ban hammer is often arbitrary and self-serving and r/the_donald drives too much traffic to reddit for them to seriously consider it for them (even more so with Twitter and @realDonaldTrump)

Admins should contemplate banning less, and users on all sides should chill on demanding it for subs they don't like. No one forces you to go to a sub, and you can even filter them from the front page without extensions now.

But live-and-let-live is not particularly in-vogue these days. As in this submission, the top post is (nothing to do with topic) "Why isn't this other sub also banned hmmm???"
Ya that was my intuition - C's always giving you enough rope to hang yourself and everyone around you. But I also wonder how many arbitrary-length strings are handled by embedded systems. Maybe don't define an `array` type with length, but maybe one just for `char*` (string) that included size and all the `str` functions used it, that would solve a huge number of exploits.
> The cost to write out to the furthest region within any majority of replicas is of course inevitable to have cross-region durability

So we are in agreement that CDB has same write latency as rds for multi region deployments. The article seems to imply that is not the case, but as you yourself agree it actually is.
Many many things are ponzi schemes. Any limited asset with a trade value is technically a ponzi scheme since it derives value from those willing to buy it.
Well, crypto isn't my specialty, so I always tread lightly when commenting about it. My hand-wavey understanding is that CSPRNGs are deterministic but not predictable, and that actual entropy is used to seed them. Going even further out on a limb, I think this is supposed to be the difference between /dev/urandom (CSPRNG) and /dev/random (actual entropy.) If I have that wrong, I'd appreciate correction by somebody in the know.
When Worlds Collide
I'm almost certain that more Model 3s will be delivered this year than Bolts, but I think it is a bit too early to claim that the Model 3 is already out-producing and out-selling it. The Model 3 did have more deliveries than the Bolt in January (1875 vs 1177), but that is only because the beginning of the year is a slow for cars sales in general. There were only 2 Bolts available in my entire state, because the 2018 models haven't arrived yet. However in December the Bolt sold 3227 units, and its average monthly sales for last year (1941) were above the Model 3's highest monthly deliveries to date.

I am going from memory here... and only considering the issue of picking the lettuce and packaging it.

Variables: original cost of labor $8/hour, new cost $20/hour.

As well, trucking is a big industry and I haven't considered paying the truckers more, either.

Look at this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oxbJVqfIK1U and time the total handling time of 1 head of iceberg lettuce (the round head kind).

Worst case scenario: each head is handled total for about 15 seconds, from cutting or pulling it off its stalk on the ground, quickly removing loose leaves, placing in bag, then sealing the bag and putting into boxes placed on skids.

Thus we have (rounding up, allowing for breaks, turns etc.) 20 seconds per head, 3 per minute, 180 per hour.

$8 / 180 = 4.4 cents of labor per head.
$20 / 180 = 11.11

OK, I am off in what I remember ... about 7 extra cents per head of lettuce vs. my remembered 5 cents.

Sounds pretty cool to me if he's owning it. All subjective either way.
Illegal or not it would certainly be gamed.
Would you make that same argument toward someone fantasizing about someone in their mind? The two seem parallel to me; I would guess most people are either morally for or against both (even though, yes, one is way more extreme than the other), but I'm super curious about whether/why someone might think e.g. imagination is fine but private visualizations aren't (or vice versa).
> If I use a computer for reading and writing then I need a lot of vertical space and pixels! I don't care about the width at all!

So, get a good rotatable VESA mount and use your widescreen monitor in portrait; more vertical space per $ than any other monitor if you “don’t care about width at all.”

> I own a bunch of old IBM/Lenovo notebooks and I am convinced that a 14" display with a 4:3 aspect ratio (for example 1400 x 1050) is still the best type of display for a portable developers notebook.

I don't find the keyboard on anything short of a 15” widescreen to be good (probably take a 17” 4:3), and keyboard is pretty important to me for coding.

Uber and Lyft are "monumentally successful" (while still hemorrhaging money and, in one case, flirting with being sued out of existence) because people are bad at math. People are much better at noticing that their stuff gets trashed. Don't underestimate the importance of "with a driver."

Porn is consensual. Non-consensual voyeurism is usually a crime. (Generally turns on the expectation of privacy. If the watcher is observing from a non-publicly accessible location, they're probably guilty of voyeurism. Watching people go at it in a hotel room from the office across the street, generally wouldn't be a crime. Watching a non-consenual video recording generally wouldn't be a criminal act for the observer but would be a criminal act by the recorder, but this also depends on the content of the recording.)
Well obviously if the choices were simply

"Push button A to get money, or push button B to get more money"

then everyone would push button B. But in reality there are other factors. Like "button B has a slightly higher chance of injuring you". Or "button B can only be pushed late at night".

It's entirely possible that people are biologically programmed to have different risk/effort/reward preference curves.
If conventional computers catch up, this might indicate that there exist conventional solutions to quantum problems. That could lead to new physics.

It's even worse than that. Assuming a modest 5% stock market yield, you'll be at ~160k after a decade. At 8% you would have roughly doubled your 100k to 200k.

Data is not the whole picture. Maybe more protein is great for adding muscle mass, and bad for a different reason...

The article lists beef as it's first source of protein besides protein shakes. Beef is a class 2A carcinogen. I stopped reading there.
> "HD" in the context of laptop screens means "1366x768", which is unusable. It's funny that "high definition" means "the lowest resolution available on a PC".

Unmodified HD (without “full”) generally means 720p for other screens, that's not a “laptop screen” specific quirk. (Well, I guess it is, in that 720p is 1280×720, but you aren't complaining that 1366×768 is a higher resolution than it should be for the bare “HD” label.)

(Also, 1366x768 is not “unusable”, and I say that as someone who was habituated to a 1600×1200 desktop display for years before starting to use 1366×768 laptops a lot in parallel with it.)
It's not buggy for you? The tab on the left is always glitching out on me, and things just simply don't work like they should, whether I'm using Firefox or Chrome. It incorrectly says "<so and so> is typing..." when the person is typing in a different subchat.

On the whole, for a product proudly marketing itself as a Slack replacement, it does a terrible job actually providing the same functionality.
I can see some evolutionary advantages for a predatory animal like the cat in being able to subitize[1] (I suppose cats are also small enough to be prey themselves historically, so just as useful to count threats as opportunities). My cat like to turn on my bathroom faucet to play with the water, and will often unscrew the drain stopper once he's bored with that. I have to keep the drains closed and wire ties on the taps...

Did it dissipate naturally or did you start editing yourself to strip those sorts of speech patterns out of your writing and talking?

I noticed in the last year or two that I was abusing absolutist words in written text and have been working to self-correct through heavy editing. It's challenging, these words are what naturally flow from my fingers when I type. Of course, I do have my own personal struggles with anxiety, too, which go back well over a decade. Also, I agree with your thoughts re: over analysis and paranoia, I see that in myself.
I agree with you. Most people are not making false accusations.

There are a small group of people who will destroy other people to advance themselves.

These are the people you have to protect yourself from.
> But how many of those services charge 10% of revenue? Zero.

I am not discounting the points you've made. I understand that there are definitely cases where 10% might be too high. Hell, it might even be applicable here.

Respectively, I disagree with your quoted comment. Are you sure its zero? Uber Rush delivery drivers make 75-80%. Where do you think the rest of the delivery fee goes? This was just from my first Google. I am sure you can find more examples of this being not the case.

Going back to the topic at hand. For a dev like me, I think 10% is high but agree with the points made. There are 100s of posts online of people writing shit for free. I am sure you can even find a dozen of subreddits alone for writing. From their POV this can be seen as a secondary source of income.

Most people who are GOOD writers - at a point where anyone would buy their 'product - have been writing for many years. They could even be doing this as a profession (think book writers). For them, do also see 10% being a high fee?

> I just think it’s foolish once revenue hits a certain point.

Bad groups can hide behind good ideals. Just because they are a "nonprofit legal advocacy organization specializing in civil rights and public interest litigation" does not mean they aren't racist or politically extreme.

I do agree that SPLC and Stormfront do not compare, but it could be argued that Reddit blocks or suppresses conservative, non-multiculturalist views much more than liberal ones. That asymmetry is part of what fuels the growing extremism IMO.
I know it's wrong but.. I can't help but feel sorry for him and hope he got away with it.

I am biased (I also work there) but the benefit of a Fitbit is the consistency of the focus on fitness and overall wellness.

Over the long term the compounding positive effect can be a bigger deal in most people's lives than whatever effect is created by a flashy, "fun" gadget that enmeshes you further in the electronic haze. As a result, though, Fitbit's market positioning has become pretty solidly middle-American.

Only, now it can do some of the flashy too.

To think about where this all may be going, I had a "wow" moment after really thinking about what things like continuous glucose monitoring for the healthy masses might mean someday: http://www.businessinsider.com/blood-sugar-tracking-device-d...
Honestly that makes me think less of Nissan and more of Tesla. Nissan has been working on the Leaf for 20 years and that's what they have to show for it? Mean while Tesla went from nothing to 3 from scratch mass production EVs in a decade.

Full disclosure, I own a 2015 Leaf and I have a reservation for a 3.
The important part is knowing what you're looking for.

Using a VPN isn't inherently going to make you more secure. It is advised to do so when you are in networks where you don't trust someone to not monitor your traffic or inject stuff into unsecured traffic.

If you trust your ISP, then you really don't need a VPN. Unfortunately, most can't be trusted if you're in the US, especially since there was a recent senate action[1] that lets them collect and sell your history.

If you do use a VPN, then the trust problems with ISP will shift towards trust in AWS. There's nothing stopping AWS from doing the same things that your ISP does. It is just that most people trust AWS to not do that.

So to be clear, AWS can still see all your traffic and inject things into unsecured webpages. The VPN will just won't let your local ISP see what you're doing. All they see is encrypted traffic going to your AWS instance.

Also your traffic is not anymore tracking proof when you use a VPN since instead of people storing your home IP address, they can store your AWS VPN's address (which no one really does anymore. They just use cookies and tracking elements).

PS: Note that AWS charges for bandwidth. There are 'lightsail' instances where first 1TB egress is free.

Same. Bought a $600 leather jacket last month.

But I also only own 8 t-shirts, 2 jeans, etc. And if I get a new t-shirt it’ll be quality and it’ll probably also mean I’m throwing away one that has become worn.

I spend less money overall on clothes now than I did a while back when I’d buy a random $7 t-shirt just because I thought what it said was funny (and then wear it maybe once or twice before it getting lost in the pile of countless clothes I constantly did laundry on but never wore / me getting rid of it)

I expect the leather jacket to last decades. And I’ll actually wear it instead of it sitting in a closet.

Help me find clothes that fit me and make me look good and are of good quality (I don’t care about brand names) and you can have some of my money. I’m looking at you, ShapeScale.
> What interventions can be made to reduce this pay gap?

I don't see how you could do this without rewarding inefficiency and inexperience. More efficient workers with more experience should absolutely get paid more than new workers that don't do as good a job. Our entire society is structured on this concept.
I wonder what he does for a living now, besides interviews. Maybe working on a book or a movie?
You’re holding it wrong.

But seriously, minimising windows is a reflex learnt from Windows. In Windows you often need to minimise one thing to find something else. Especially the desktop. On a Mac you can usually find something more quickly in the dock. In Windows you’re far more likely to have an app maximised by default, and minimising is a natural way to switch tasks. On a Mac, minimising is not a natural way of task switching.
Banning it doesn't make the underlying tech go away. You seem to imply a video is inherently more trustworthy, this is no longer the case, we need to acknowledge it.
