Sure, but gyms have extremely low stimulus and lifting weights really has no short term goal outside of the activity itself (compared to winning a basketball game, for example)
This is scary... kids are impressionable, and having drills like this may actually backfire and romanticize the idea of becoming the shooter for a number of kids who already could be prone to doing that.

When we had fire drills I'd often imagine pulling the red lever walking back into the school... to trigger another... not the same thing, and I never thought of starting a fire -- but I also often kind of hoped that one of these drills would be the real thing so we wouldn't have to go back into school.
That's on the low end. I've looked into it and seen prices on the order of $1000-1500 per treatment. If you filter those out, many metro areas simply have no provider that charges what would seem to be a justifiable price. Abusive pricing is a big problem for this product it seems. Several advocacy sites that I saw that maintain provider lists make note of this.

In American culture, it's considered basic practice for most people to keep their body clean and teeth in good repair. A subset of people keep their bodies exercised and fit. An much smaller subset have a mental hygiene practice such as mindfulness or introspection of some sort. We are an unhealthy people in general, which leads to many mental and physical health issues, a war like stance, and school shootings.
Yes. For a start, realizing the impact of the bots on FB and Twitter and countering them with more bots.

There's some really dark stuff on FB groups and twitter bots which reply with images to popular accounts. You could counter by bots which could favorite better tweets and stop the propaganda.
I guess it depends on what you mean by "become a developer".

Great strategy when you're younger and older, but doesn't really help during the years where you're raising young kids. Time is limited and it's easy to forget yourself when caring for others.
> With a car, you can hop off the freeway and take a side street and you're there in 30-40 minutes instead of 2+ hours.

You're comparing the best case time with a car to the worst case time of a bus. How long do you think the car will take in 5 years, or 10, as the region continues to grow?

> We could put one WA State resident on the moon for that price.

Perhaps, but what's the utility of that? Infrastructure costs money and the region needs mass transit or it will suffer from increased gridlock and commute times.
==Strzok messages showed pretty clearly where his loyalties lie.==

Well let's get right to the facts.

Fact: the US is not losing undocumented / illegal immigrants at an abnormally high rate. That's a myth. Trump has hardly moved the needle at all when it comes to illegal immigration. Everything to the contrary is propaganda pushed by the media for pathetic political points / ratings.

Obama deported more people in an average year than Trump has in his first year. He was known in immigration circles as the deporter in chief for it.

Randomized Experimentation under network effects
I don't understand this viewpoint at all. There's a breathtaking amount of tutorials, Q/A (stackoverflow), forums, chats, that can get someone started with a fraction of the effort it took for me to learn programming 20 years ago. There are one-click installers for programming languages and for IDEs. There are entire free books online to learn specific languages or frameworks.

I think people have gotten lazier and they expect to be taught, rather than seeking out materials. Or perhaps the people wishing to learn, are not as interested in programming as they think they are.

That being said, yes, learning "cloud" is an enormous sink of time that requires some exposure to lots of different silos of information. Doesn't that make sense though? It's a complicated subject.
I was going to say, Seattle buses were not new and often not clean five years ago (in my experience). Metro suffered a lot after the 2008 financial crisis. It's really only in the last few years we've been getting new buses to replace all the old ones.

As far as cleanliness goes, it really depends on the route. Commuter routes tend to be pretty clean.
Belarus is interesting for me, because no one knows anything about it, it's all "last dictatorship in Europe" around here... Are the laws more similar to Europe or Russia? Then again, when it comes to guns, I believe Russia is just as strict as the EU. No school shootings on either side, though, afaik...
This is an exciting development. On reading more, my enthusiasm was a bit damped when I learnt that this model is running a forked version of Android (YunOs) - I am still going to check it out as the appeal of a barebones phone with some of Android's functionality might actually be a pretty cool compromise.
I disagree.

Creating a program that meets todays' users expectations is what's harder.

But learning programming by itself, is way easier.

We have Python, Ruby, Javascript... We have the Web as a platform and as documentation. We have communities and cheap, fast computers.

The hello world has never been easier to do.

What's hard is to make a real time offline first SPA with a beautiful responsive design that uses the same API backend as the mobile app while integrating with third party Saas and leveraging social medias.
Are facebook 'shadow' profiles not real?
We'll survive I'm sure. I see the US not as example but as a warning.
Yes. Here en Denmark hunters can own rifles etc. But you need a hunting permit, that requires training in gun handling, safety, shooting etc. It also consists of an actual test. You need to keep the rifle safely stored, I believe it needs to be locked away, with the firing pin, kept in a different place, away from the rifle.
I think another big culprit in this situation is the IT department. I visited a research university recently in a computer science related field. The IT department wouldn't allow even graduate students and researchers to have admin access on their machines. Even if the programmers could debug basic issues, they often had to go track down and IT staff member to install some library or program for them. If this is happening at the computer research level it's happening even more in non-tech company business environments. How do we expect staff at non-tech companies to experiment with new skills in programming if they can't even use their computers at their full potential?
That's OK so long as we can plant more palm oil. 


I really wonder at what point we decide we've destroyed enough of the natural world. It looks like we're not going to stop at all. Which is rather depressing.
> People have made claims like this for years now. It's bullshit. People used to say, "I don't need a network connection, I can conduct transactions on paper." Leaving out the detail that at some point it has to get into the bitcoin network itself.

I think the claim has forever been that there are infinitely many ways to securely encode a transaction. The point is to get the transaction outside of whatever hostile territory you're in.

Their summary:

"While having one or more paid internships had a significant impact on time to find a position and first-position salary above that of unpaid internships, internship compensation had no significant impact on measures of long-term career success."

It was a previous study that found no correlation. This summary found that internships in general helped with job prospects. Paid internships seem to result in better initial prospects but don't differ from unpaid internships in terms of long-term success.

I've heard all the arguments about students getting ahold of a teacher's gun, accidental discharge, etc. If you're making those sorts of arguments, do you also carry a gun?

The teachers I know dislike this idea for those reasons: it makes them targets and in a non-prison environment the gun would either be easy for a student to get or too secure for them to get in an emergency situation, especially when they’re supposed to be managing panicked students.

Looking at the number of police officers who accidentally injure people despite far more training and an easier environment, it’s really hard to imagine this ending well – we have trouble keeping pens and paper in classrooms, are we really going to consistently find the money and time for regular training?

Something that I find very interesting is that it is probable that some of the patent applications that Einstein evaluated were for methods of synchronizing clocks for railways. This was a pretty big deal at that time, and Einstein was probably in the center of it. His ideas about space and time may not have been so far removed from his occupation as most people assume.

> then specifically what I'm referring to is operating with such low prices that rides are money-losers

This is meaningless semantics. The business is growing and spending money to expand. That does not mean each ride is not priced profitably, or that each ride does not bring in more money than is spent providing that ride. It's just a more convoluted way of saying the business--at a high level--sells rides and is not turning a profit.

They are priced at a rate that entirely covers the driving after a 25% cut. For it to not be sustainable, it'd have to be not possible to run the rest of the business on that cut, which is difficult to imagine.

Your whole argument hinges on not understanding these concepts.
There's no need for that, the US is already occupied...
I don't think the authors of the article would really disagree with you.

The problem isn't cars per se. It's the percentage of trips made with cars and the relative low person-density of a SOV (or even a fully occupied car, relative to fully occupied buses or light rail).

There will always be routes that are not well served by transit compared to cars. The end goal is not zero trips made with cars. The goal is to make transit convenient for the majority of trips, so that people choose transit over cars. The result of higher person-density transit is that travel times do not become even more unreasonable as the region grows.

The parts of the world where poverty is still high are those where science and technology have not yet arrived.

> It's ridiculous to expect newcomers to a language and/or programming in general to slog through a 20 or 30-step environment setup process

Modern IDEs often require an hour long install, and then you turn them on and are faced with 10,000 buttons and 50 windows, they aren't simple either.

I have had good success with making beginners people sit through a 30 minute dev environment set up process, in video form. No complaints, everyone got it working, on linux, mac, and windows. I used VS Code + the Go language plugin. Once set up, you have a pretty simple IDE-like environment.

I do miss the days when every dos PC just shipped with QBasic, or when you could get a simple, quick loading IDE like TurboC++
I think you missed your mark by some ways. There's a mountain of options in between toiling away 80 hours a week on a startup and living in your parent's basement playing video games. Economic success is the measure of how people are able to provide for themselves and those they care about. Families cost money, houses cost money, living costs money. Someone has to provide the things people consume to live, and they don't want to be slaves to a basement dwelling slacker. If they want to do anything with their lives, and we all do if we want to have good mental health, they'll find a career, be it in startups or working their way up at the local supermarket.
This is very true. My light day workouts consist of fun stuff that are mostly sports related (hockey) like stick-handling, passing the puck around and shooting on a net with real pucks (sets of 10-15 shots rapid-fire really burn your arms and it's super fun). I have a pretty elaborate off-ice workout area setup in my basement that doubles as a great VR space.

After that I play a few VR games that are full body/active type stuff (room-scale). For example, Space Pirate Trainer is my current jam; I currently hold the #3 spot on the world leader board and my games of late tend to take around 45m from level 1 to 70+. My heart-rate btw routinely hits around 130-140 toward the end of one of those game.

Extreme stuff is awesome too if you are trying to maintain a high level of fitness for specific needs but most people can get by with way less and have pretty excellent results in day-to-day wellness. Tabata, burpees, pull-ups all have their place but even those you can do much less frequently than most think and benefit hugely.

Atom's Go integration re-runs tests after save to a .go file. It's very convenient because you can see test failures and test coverage changes immediately.

But it's slow if you modified a file that is not involved in tested code paths.

This is just one concrete example. In general when the code size grows, very quickly it becomes impossible to tell if a given edit could possibly affect tests or not. So you want to run `go test` just in case so making it faster is a good thing.
For me Go is a smooth brain C with an enormous standard library, making it very pleasant for weekend side projects or quick and dirty "scripting". Not having sum types is a huge pain sometimes and generics would be nice but otherwise I wouldn't want the language specification to change too much. Tail call optimization would also be nice but that's on the implementation side. In particular, I wouldn't want Go to become more restrictive like Rust or Haskell.

Actually they have aids epidemic BECAUSE sex is so natural there. There is nothing natural with stopping a sensual escalation and putting a rubber on your penis. Education helped us to do this, and saved us from dying in mass and having unwanted pregnancy, but it has a serious price on the way we handle sex.
> and who falsely promised to provide him some dirt

I am curious if you believe this is OK
Yeah I suppose I might have just experienced a particularly good section of it. I've lived in Kirkland and Bellevue, and took either the 540->372 (change at Westlake) or 255->522 (change in U District) to get to Lake City nearly every day. Buses were always pretty pleasant (esp. compared to NYC), and only added ~15 minutes to the trip. Also would commute across 520 a bunch, and found the bus service to be pretty darn convenient getting to SLU, Downtown, U-District, Cap Hill, Fremont, and Beacon Hill. Obviously not EVERY route was convenient and used Uber to pick up the slack, but 9/10 times public transit was only slightly slower and slightly less convenient than using a car.
Meltdown affected Apple's ARM CPUs as well. If you read the linked support doc, you can see that they released Meltdown mitigations for iOS as well.
> Conjunction and disjunction are more apt anologies that have the same properties.

Conjunction and disjunction also have other properties, like idempotence: A /\ A = A, which by analogy would suggest that a tuple of two integers is the same as a single integer. Similarly, A \/ A = A, which is exactly the problem mentioned by the featured article that is the difference between union types and proper sum types (aka tagged union types).

So while sum and product may not be great analogies, conjunction and disjunction seem worse.
These are Emacs shortcuts, not Vim. They're available in bash (the default MacOS shell) because bash uses the readline library. You can also put readline into Vi mode and use Vi/Vim shortcuts, but none of this has anything to do with editing files.
It's not about offence. I'm not offended. I'm challenging your misrepresentation of a debate.

The idea that predatory pricing not only exists, but is prevalent, is the main plank of the argument that competition doesn't work and wont generally sort out bad behaviour in the market, so lots of people who ideologically need that to be true cling very dearly to that idea. On the other side of the debate are a lot of people with an incomplete appreciation of the complexity of what markets can and can't sort out, especially the pretty non-ideal ones we're stuck with in a world where among other things governments and regulations play, for better or for worse, a non-trivial role.

Lost in this mess is any nuanced discussion of when predatory pricing might and especially might not occur.

And now we're getting to the point. A reasonably free market for taxis (and a such can well include requirements for insurance, background checks and rigorous book keeping) will not allow predatory pricing to occur, and this is trivially easy to show. This does not mean that predatory pricing doesn't or can't exist, just that it certainly can't on a market with these characteristics.
In those cases: Sure, they must have been losing money on those rides. As far as I know, though, the norm across the board is the 25% cut (which I understand is higher at some times).

It's not great for your bladder, but it takes a serious ketamine habit to get to that point - I've known people doing a couple of ounces a week or more for several years who were fine, but tolerance builds up enough over time that people can consume some huge amounts on a daily basis - and injecting it intramuscularly makes it even easier to do so.
