14 years as 100% remote... living in the middle of nowhere, 40 acres of land to run around and enjoy (fly huge model planes at lunch time, fire up the bbq with the wife and fams, etc etc) and life is good. I have a reclining workstation that has helped for a number of reasons, but it's made from a chair that's light enough to carry out to the back porch when the weather is nice. Some companies like to take a little off the top of your pay due to being remote, but if you go looking in the right spots you can get remote work at bigger city salaries. Even when the pay was shorted a little, the lifestyle more than makes up for it.

...make sure that you get enough personal interaction (the hardest and most important depending just how "remote" you are), and make sure that you appreciate the lifestyle perk that it is, and be happy.

As much as I love it, it's really not for everyone... I've seen some people be allowed to go remote, move away from the office, not be able to deal with the remoteness and quit. It happens.
What ideas are being suppressed because of fear that they could be correct? To be US centric for a moment, I can see examples of attempted suppression of ideas by conservatives - defunding climate change research and the refusal to allow CDC research into gun control, for example.

I'm racking my brain trying to think of counterexamples of suppression from the left. Suppression of white supremacist thought? Anti-gay sentiment? The value of diversity? Who on the left is genuinely (if secretly) afraid that whites are the master race, or that the gays are destroying family values?
The true problem with piracy is actually not the issues that others have mentioned with readers disallowing sideloaded files.

The main issue with piracy is that both Amazon and Apple have far more advanced typesetting systems in the custom file types (Kindle Format 8 and iBook format) that you get when you buy from their store.

The .epub format its still based on what, XML? .epub makes up most of what you see when you pirate. If you look closely you can see that most epubs actually are really badly typeset compared to the versions of the store.

That only shows government aid. The US is famous for its vast private charity.

Just Bill Gates, Warren Buffett and Mark Zuckerberg together will give away over 3x more than all the OECD countries on that list combined (on an annual basis). Or roughly equivalent to what Japan - the world's third largest economy - will do every ~35 years total.

Gates, Buffett, Zuckerberg, Bezos = plausibly $450 billion in combined charity over time (assuming Bezos spends ~$20 billion on space). France at the government level does $9 billion per year by comparison; it'll take France 40-50 years to match just those four private US citizens.

No other nation in world history has seen its richest citizens routinely give the bulk of their wealth away (from Carnegie & Rockefeller, to Howard Hughes, to Gates & Buffett). The scale of private US charity is unprecedented and amounts to trillions of dollars over a century of time.

Contrast that with eg Germany, where 65% of their billionaires inherited their wealth, or Europe broadly where dynastic wealth is extremely common:

It gives a high-risk group the ability to notify their friends and family and practice what to do in event of a heart attack. My mom frequently stays with me, but outside of "call 911" I don't really know what to do in teh event of a heart attack. Time lost is lives lost, so better preparation could quite literally save lives.
> I posited that the author was pandering to an audience with such beliefs

Why did you posit that?
Your interested in solving problems you might have in 3 years, and Elm solves problems you definitely have now and will continue to have in 3 years. In 20 years of development I've never been happier, more productive, and more error-free.
So, I tried but failed to find how they came up with the first graph. It must be a model as I doubt the Vikings had sophisticated satellite coverage set up for measuring the arctic ice in the open sea?
The comfort level would be: are you completing your projects on time? Good. You are not? (b/c goofing off at home instead of working) Goodbye! That would do it.
Since you can't adjust the volume of the speaker to a level where it would blow the speakers inside, when are you realistically going to NEED to repair this? I get that it's nice to have the comfort of thinking you're going to save yourself $150 at some point in the future to repair a piece of this but, with electronics that are this complicated, it's not a simple task to actually do this repair, as we see here.

I've been spending some time over the past few months developing a app for myself and family to help with this.

Basically, what I do is:

- make a list of books that I want to read

- over time, as I acquire the book, I have a tool to split up the book into separate chapters. These chapters are then loaded into the reading app.

- every day, I open the app and it chooses a chapter from a random book for me to read

- as I read, I highlight interesting, useful or difficult sections that I want to remember/study further

- instead of showing me a chapter, the app can also show a list of highlights from a previously read chapter. During this step it asks me to create little quizzes from the notes - either in the form of cloze replacements or simple q&a. Alternatively I can also create reflection questions or daily actions from the notes.

- in addition to the previous steps, the tool then also uses spaced repetition algorithm to review the little quizzes that I created from the books I've read

- every morning it chooses 10 of the actions that I identified and asks me how I am going to implement/practice them today

- every night it asks me how I practiced those actions

It does a bit more than this, but that's the main part. I've already seen great results from doing this, as I've always found the biggest problem with reading is that it tends to be too passive, and having the review and action steps helps alleviate that problem.
You cannot be serious.

Unindustrialized? Sure. Starving? You could add up the death counts of all known famines in Russia's pre-Bolshevik history and you end up with no more than half the amount dead in just the famine referenced in OP. And that's largely due to the policies implemented by Lenin[1] to ensure that food went primarily to supporters of the Bolsheviks.

How about the famine of 1932-1933[2][3] in which ~10 million (the number is disputed, but when it varies by millions, the point is made) died due to dekulakization[4], in which those farmers that had proved to be competent enough to gather some wealth after having been liberated by the Tsars a half-century earlier were brutally raped and murdered. Guess what happens when you kill all the competent farmers?

You've said that it was a "step forward at least up until the mid 1950's", meaning during Lenin and Stalin's reign? Do some damned reading[5] before you make claims like this.

Ok. Then what does that justify in your mind?
It's unfortunate that this article provides an analysis and critique of the roots of left-leaning "social justice" but absolutely zero analysis or critique of the roots of right-leaning conservatism or libertarianism.

The latter have a long history of their own victimization rhetoric, which they use for political ends, and an adherence to many conspiracy theories. Neither is even indirectly alluded to, much less analyzed or critiqued despite being directly relevant to the views expressed in the article.

> Haxe is the de facto king of the compile-to-everything space.

Indeed, I remember stumbling across it years ago while looking for a way to develop Flash games without Adobe Flash Professional. I never got around to actually try it but I keep seeing it every now and then, even saw a couple of books about it in a physical bookstore some years ago. It was the first thing that popped to mind for me as well when I saw that OP title mentioned write code in multiple languages at the same time.
It’s not just about the language itself.

You might think Japanese is an awesome language and decide to learn it, but then what use is speaking Japanese outside of Japan? Around the world people still just use boring ol’ English, even though English is actually a pretty shitty language and full of hacks to make up for weird edge cases (read and read, goose and geese, mice and meese?, Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo)

Likewise, if you write something in Clojure, you have far less people and libraries and platforms that can help you accomplish whatever you are doing. If what you are doing is not something new or groundbreaking that could only be done well with Clojure, then the extra effort you have to spend to get up and running is not worth it.
Consul. But good to know about these backends!
As TFA describes it, the first deletion last year by the heroic hacker actually interrupted another hacker's access to the data. Why hadn't that other hacker deleted it? Maybe he enjoyed having access to private pictures and communications of children, teens, and adults... Does that sound like a good situation?
My take. This is a big win for Guizhou, one of China's poorest provinces. It is also a big win for Southwest China in general, which is developing rapidly as Chengdu and Kunming gain direct flights to Europe and Australia, and integrate road, rail and pipeline links to Myanmar, Laos, Thailand, Vietnam, and beyond.

Politically, as a nation China certainly has the right to self-governance and storing user data inside the country is not an unreasonable request.

The Hong Kong Free Press is probably well meaning - we'd all like more freedom and less government rules - but also may be more holistically perceived as a group with an axe to grind as Hong Kong is being forced to adapt to Chinese rule, journalism is under pressure the world over and Hong Kong's GDP was recently surpassed by Shenzhen, which three decades ago was a fishing village.

Things are changing. This is just a phase.
If you think the right to education trumps the right to property, then you've done nothing wrong.

It's not illegal where I live, and hasn't been for a very long time.

What started off as a few small lists have expanded (over ~5+ years) into a full-fledged "notebook" with pages on various topics.A lot of pages in my Zim notebook are lists of resources and tips, organized by theme (eg: speaking/presenting, things to buy, digital currency, sci-fi to read) i.e. hard to come by nuggets whose collective perspective seems valuable. I can look up things by theme whenever I seek, and also add to those pages whenever I find a new nugget. This structure also implicitly encourages spaced repetition when used for ideas/concepts [1].

One reason I like this approach is that it allows me to de-clutter my working memory, eg: number of open browser tabs [2]. It helps me avoid FOMO. As Scott Hanselman said: "It's not what you read, it's what you ignore". I keep adding to my lists over time, and this also helps me get a sense for which themes/resources/recommendations keep popping up repeatedly, which helps me prioritize what to spend time/money on.

I use the Zim desktop wiki, on linux [3].
Also, I download a PDF copy of any thought-provoking online content that I really like, since I don't want to risk the links not being around years later.

Do people actually argue in favor of equality of outcomes? Can't say I've ever seen this done, but then again I haven't seen everything.

The fundamental issue that I see addressed in social justice is that opportunity is deeply and currently inextricably affected by your circumstances in life. Taking steps to address this, is, as you said, foundational.
This whole medical market is ripe for disruption but the tight regulations , data privacy laws etc is preventing this to reach escape velocity.

foreign entities are required to take on local partners for operations within China

This is not completely correct. Legally you can operate at least a joint venture (JV), a limited company (有限公司), or a representative or branch office for a foreign company (分公司 or 代理公司). When operating a limited company, they may be Wholly Foreign Owned Enterprises (WFOE, known as a "woofie"), also categorized as "foreign invested" (外资).
smart contracts cannot make use of information from the outside world (unless of course, fed from a single centralized party).

There has been some work on taking the median of multiple oracles, requiring oracles to post collateral that will be forfeited if they disagree too much with the others, and using attested hardware (SGX) to make oracles more auditable.

> A lot of people could probably skip therapy entirely if they could just arrange to hear themselves think.

I tend to agree, but it may take time to see therapeutic effects. That initial period of quieting, at least for me, through meditation, was more chaotic than the noise. It turned everything upside down, everything I thought I’d known about myself was pretty much wrong. I’d just been telling myself stories for years and when I stopped listening and believing they were the truth - wow. I don’t think you necessarily need to have anything external change in your life for it to be a big adjustment.
In the case of major hacks, the exchanges are already doing something along this line internally; it's just not baked into the protocol.
This article lost a lot of credibility with me when in the early framing of the issue, Harris writes:

> Following the release of the NLRB memo, a number of scientists on Twitter expressed alarm at the justifications provided within the memo, which appeared to relegate the discussion of sex differences outside the realm of constitutionally protected speech.

(emphasis mine)

The NLRB letter says nothing of the kind. It says that the memo contained both protected and unprotected speech, and that Damore was terminated for the unprotected form. You have very few first amendment protections in the workplace, and employees can be fired for saying almost anything. Sex differences, in particular, have never been a protected class of speech in a workplace, and to claim that this letter somehow changes the landscape of the workplace is disingenuous at best.
> It's optimized for simplicity, but often at the expense of making idiot proof interfaces difficult or impossible to build.

But technically speaking it is optimized for simplicity of reading code. The idea, whether it has worked out in practice or not, was that Google could take people with limited developer experience and put them into a Go codebase and have them be able to follow along with the project with minimal introduction and explanation from already busy teammates.

Your function overloading (Go does support veridic functions!) example is a good example of where the author and compiler know full-well what the intent is, but people coming in five years later may not be entire clear on what you are trying to say. `add` is a simplistic example, but it is easy to see, and I am sure many of us have experienced, how this can be a problem in more complicated cases.

As you have pointed out, optimizing for the simplicity of reading has resulted in increased complexity of implementation. You've only just scratch the surface of the gotchas in Go. However, that's the tradeoff. Engineering is all about managing tradeoffs and some will value readability (assuming the theory that Google has holds – I don't know that anyone has formally measured this) and others will value writability. Everyone has different goals and is developing in different environments. There is never going to be a solution that fits everyone. If there were, we wouldn't need software engineers anymore.
Sounds a lot like Thich Nhat Hanh's approach (Miracle of Mindfulness) :)

While washing the dishes one should only be washing the dishes, which means that while washing the dishes one should be completely aware of the fact that one is washing the dishes. At first glance this might seem a little silly: why put so much stress on a simple thing? But that's precisely the point. The fact that I am standing there and washing these bowls is a wondrous reality. I'm being completely myself, following my breath, conscious of my presence, and conscious of my thoughts and actions. There's no way I can be tossed around mindlessly like a bottle slapped here and there on the waves.
There is no way the majority of the people exchanging sex for money are being accounted for in any reliable fashion. Prostitution is going on all over the place at all times. It's ubiquitous and unless you're participating it's largely kept out of view, being illegal.

Your >75% figure seems obviously bogus to me.

I enjoy similar comforts, but prefer to live in major cities. I've been working remotely for 17 years, and in that time I've lived in Brookyln, Seattle, and now Chicago.

No alarm clocks, ever. No driving unless I need to haul something. No commutes. I refuse to deal with rush-hour. I truly enjoy naps and long lunches and have no set schedule - sometimes I'm up nights, sometimes days.

I could very well move to a farm-house in the country, but I think I'd lose my mind. I truly enjoy city life, as a personal preference. I used to think I wanted to be a "nomad", but it turns out I really enjoy my sit-stand desk with three monitors, a comfortable chair, and everything just how I like it. I'm far more productive than I ever have been while on the road. Instead, I prefer taking long breaks with my wife to travel without any work-related devices.

I'm not always incredibly healthy when it comes to eating, exercise, and extra-curricular activities, but mentally I generally feel I'm in far better shape than most of my peers who deal with the bustle of a daily on-location occupation. I have the utmost respect for their ability to carry on every day. It's just not for me.
The problem is that thieves will often quickly mix the stolen coins with untainted coins. So, there will be a large number of descendants of "tainted" transactions, the majority of which are held by completely innocent people. A real-life analogy would be taking stolen gold nuggets to an unknowing goldsmith who melts them together with gold nuggets from other customers and gives back freshly minted gold pieces.
It's a big step up, but man, I really wish Java would introduce extension methods. The streams API starts to get clunky if you need to add any functionality that they didn't think to include in the core implementation. (zip and mapi, for example.)

Can't the criminals convert it to monero themselves after it's transferred to the throwaway wallet? Why does the hostage have to be the one to do it?
