This ended up being quite wordy and I'm still not sure I explained my issue properly. I might need to do a visual mockup of my problem which boils down to "mental disconnect between the source of the data and where you view the data".

I want all Children Folder contents to be visible from a Parent Folder. Actions would still be done to the Child folder the email actually exists inside of - the Parent folder is for presentation purposes only. This is basically how a Search Folder works currently.

Currently if I open up a normal `Parent` folder I will see 0 emails. If I want to see any mail I need to visit a `Parent/Child` folder that the mail is filtered into. But what I really want, sometimes, is to see all of my `Parent/Child` emails in a single, flat view. Folders are great for organizing the past but are really bad for the "now".

To build off my earlier example (re: one distro = five problems) I want to keep these five problems filtered into their own folders for easier organization/finding when other people reference them. However, since I need to solve these problems as they are emailed in I want to watch a `Parent` folder. I can't do this because the `Parent` folder says it has no emails. I can only see email if I look at a `Parent/Child` folder, but now I can't see any email going to the other four `Parent/Child` folders. While watching the `Parent` folder I can see that `Parent/Child` has new unread emails - but now I'm forced to change my folder location panel to the Child folder in order to view and read this unread email. This is different from how a Search Folder works. In a Search Folder, I can continue to see all searched emails while browsing one in the reading panel.

I can see all of them at once by creating a 'Search' folder that searches each `Parent/Child` and displays the result of its search but why can't that Search Folder just be `Parent`? Why does it need to be `/Search Folders/Distro Trasks/`? If `/Parent/` was a search folder that could exist anywhere in the folder tree and works exactly like search folders currently work that'd be perfect.

The TL;DR of the entire problem is that `Parent` should just act like a Search Folder of it's Children instead of being completely useless. I don't want a flat structure - due to organizational/archiving purposes - but I do want a flat structure some of the time for handling email in the present time.

>Portrait mode, OK. Many email clients do give some few options for various horizontal/vertical splits. Are the options in Outlook enough in that respect?

Yes. Existing options that many clients use where the navigation panel and the reading panel are horizontally split instead of vertically split suffice.
Which cobalt mining companies in particular is Apple engaging with? Any on the NYSE?
This is neat. I’m actually in a Computational Geometry course this semester. Computational Geometry is pretty neat stuff and has some cool applications. Like for example mixing 3 paints to get certain ratios can be reduced to a convex hull problem where all the possible paint color ratios are contained in the triangle with the 3 points (representing the ratio of the colors of the paints) as vertices. My course doesn’t involve any coding and is more about algorithm design through pseudo code and proofs.
In this case, I don't think your data is that strong. The parent could get them an entry level job in tech, conceivably one comparable with one one would obtain fresh out of college.

Separately from this specific case, remember, to pay off 200k in debt (cost of many good public schools), you need to make about 2M! If you save 20%, then you need an EXTRA 1M over not going to college just to break even. I'm not even factoring in interest that many students are getting these days. And then you have the opportunity cost of not investing the money you did make when you didn't have debt by skipping college. So when you consider these things, a 900k bump in lifetime earnings doesn't look good.

Now if you get a scholarship or if you factor in the intangibles the parent mentions then I think it's a no brainer. But strictly from a lifetime earnings standpoint it's oversold. You have to factor in the foregone earnings, the debt, the interest and the opportunity cost of not being able to save and invest money.

Personally I think it's worth it but best for most people to go to a lower tier university that won't start them off with a mountain of debt.

Many years ago, I worked on the production floor of a print shop. (I wasn't actually doing print work. I was a designer, but they hadn't built out the offices yet, so my Mac was literally sitting on a desk in the middle of the print room floor.)

Do you know how loud "Butterfly Kisses" — apparently the #1 through #40 top song during the time I was doing this — has to be cranked to make it audible over a web-fed offset printer and cutter? I do.
It seems like maybe people are already forgetting the Cold War. Full, symmetric war between nuclear powers must be avoided at all costs. How to prevent escalation to a full intercontinental nuclear exchange is not clear. The Shilling point of not killing each others soldiers on purpose is very clear. Once countries are openly killing each others solders, you are at war, and the situation can change very quickly. This is why Syria is so dangerous and highly underrated as a problem by most people. All the foreign policy reporters and think tanks are distracted by the North Korea situation (not to say that is not a big problem), I would guess.
Yeah, I'm not sure what "the common themes of rap are in tune with the company’s mission" means. Does it allude to "diregard females and acquire currency" rap, or "selling pharmaceuticals" rap, or something entirely different, like conscious "class struggle" rap? This reader wants to know.
> intrinsic

How exactly do you expect intrinsic merits to arise if not via your ancestry? Merits don't materialize out of thin air; and even if they did, how exactly would that be fair?

A lottery is more fair than corruption and bribes, but it's still a lottery. There's nothing inherently virtuous about it.
Very well. I'll do that this weekend when I have more time to read and reply. Should be an interesting discussion, especially since I left a career in finance to go to grad school to do something totally different. It is a big move but I've never been happier.
I guess I can see why people would have that reaction as a knee-jerk. But shouldn't we strive for a world where everyone's children have the privilege of education and social standing, and parents can focus on spending time with them, teaching them empathy and understanding, and generally experiencing life with them?

As opposed to one where the knives are out and people think that their children's entire futures must come at the cost of someone else's? And what does that attitude teach the children?

If you passed a law that car manufacturers could only sell 1000 cars per year, you can bet those would be some really fancy, expensive cars. Just let them sell cars and they start doing market segmentation and producing budget cars all on their own. Same with homes.
Nah, you commited the grave sin of not considering that any of this isn't theatre for an ambulance chasing legal firm. That's actually covered in the article, and since you've been following this, you should be able to see the emails are pretty tepid stuff if read soberly.

The poor are naturally disadvantaged. That's an uncontroversial statement.
I work in a shared office and it's OK. But that's just because we all know that focusing with other people speaking is basically impossible, so we all try hard to not make noise. If we have to talk we go to a conference room.
as long as we're "hope"-ing... I hope they all get a heroic dose of the sorts of psychedelics that are good for putting an end to warmongering.

fuck the motherfuckers who think any of this is good, and fuck what they stand for. murder subjugation and all the rest of the shit is what humans have been up to forever, and I think we should stop.

alternatively, somebody comes up with a valid reason why it's good for us... then maybe we all agree to start doing it intentionally, and vigorously, and ceaselessly... and we achieve the final solution for all humanity.

I recommend a 10-day vipassana meditation retreat (https://www.dhamma.org). There are no charges for the courses - not even to cover the cost of food and accommodation. It is non-sectarian, with no hidden agenda. You basically meditate for 12 hours a day - no reading, writing, talking, or listening to music, etc..

I had problems with panic attacks that would sometime keep me awake all night. I tried medication and therapy without much success. What I learned at these retreats was invaluable and has helped me to manage the panic attacks and anxiety.

Had me interested until:

"Non-state firms are helping the armed forces to develop quantum technologies that will boost their ability to make use of artificial intelligence and big data, as well as to develop unhackable communications networks."

Oh boy is that buzz word central. I'm still convinced we're decades away from using quantum computing for much more than finding prime numbers. Everything I've read says we're just barely scratching the surface how to use this stuff. We're a long way off before Quantum AI uses Big Data to design military planes.

Have you ever had roommates ? I've never had a clean kitchen and roommates, and never had a dirty kitchen and no roommate (and by my own actions as well !).
It's just a useful way to transport your mind into a somewhat arbitrary perspective. Often that leads to forced introspection looking back on the perspective you've come to live normally in, and that might help make some productive changes if you don't quite like or appreciate what you see.
I'm interested in AI. I'm just not interested in fantasizing about things that are completely out of reach. The amount of inequality both in wealth and opportunity in today's world makes me mad and this post only serves to remind me of it. If that means I've got a bad attitude or I'm a troll or whatever then so be it. At least I'm honest.
One program that I got excited about a few years ago (unfortunately I was already an undergrad at the time) was Minerva [0]. It's relatively inexpensive, seems as if the coursework has a lot of rigor, and you get to do a bunch of traveling while in school.

“The poor are disadvantaged” is an uncontroversial statement; adding the “naturally” part in makes it far less uncontroversial.

Bill Clinton reached a deal with North Korea to supply them with oil, and normalize relations in exchange for them stopping their nuclear program. They did.

Congress then reneged on the deal. Three years later, Bush gave his famous axis of evil speech, and invaded one of the countries on the list.

Unsurprisingly, having taken one look at what happened to Saddam Hussein, and because it's not ran by suicidal morons, North Korea resumed their nuclear program.

Have we all collectively forgotten the past 19 years?

I'm curious about your thoughts on those Loomer quotes.

I personally have a hard time faulting a private platform for not wanting to promote ideas like racial segregation in taxi services. I was going to say religious segregation, but I can't imagine how she was able to discern someone's religion by their Uber/Lyft profile.
I don't buy into the whole 'pure bloodlines' thing.

It didn't work out too well for aristocracies; 'pure' is potentially another word for 'inbred'. And with the way things are now and have been for centuries, it is money rather than merits that are getting people ahead from square one, so I don't see how you can argue in good faith that ancestry is necessarily as strongly responsible for successful traits as it currently appears to be.
tl;dr their registrar, 101domains.com, failed to pay their registrar fees to the .sm TLD so all .sm domains registered through them got suspended

dns outages are always a nightmare because of ttls, but bringing a registrar and a nontraditional TLD into the picture meant a much more extended outage.

Then you're welcome to buy a copy I guess? I mean bandwidth isn't free and the assumption is if you download a distro, you like it enough to pass a little something on to your peers or spare a dime to the distributors.
That's entirely their right to police their own platform as they wish, even if they're not honest about it (which seems to be the case here.)

The line for me, personally, is the line that the Supreme Court of the United States has held time and time again, which is realistic threats of violence, if I were to run a platform like Medium.

That's her right to be a jackass. It's beautiful. You can point and laugh at her rambling if you wish, if the content were still available.

Your opinions on mean words are just opinions. It's just virtue signalling to be offended for someone else and go so far as to give them the power and satisfaction of being a martyr. This has done nothing but give the "alt-right" ammo, in that context, it certainly has not stopped any violence.

Not that there was any violence inspired by any of the prominent writings mentioned in the article, in the first place.
I think you may have misinterpreted their statement about the "How I Would Run for Congress" article. I think they were praising that as an example of the sort of article they want to have on their service. Note the fact that the referred to the removal of that specific article as "unfortunate."
I've also similarly made many friends through playing Tekken offline. I believe the local aspect of fighting games (as opposed to most online games nowadays), and the depth of its mechanics is very conducive to making a wide variety of close friends (old and young). I recommend people check out fighting games or games that require person to person contact to make more friends.
If we had this news announced in 1946 then I don't think that everyone at the United Nations would think this was in keeping with what had been agreed.

North Korea is not what you think it is or how people in North Korea see things. The goal for both Koreas is the same as it was for 'both Germanies' - unification. However, North Korea sees the war as very much imposed by America. The USA is the country seen as keeping the two Koreas apart. The arrangement sought by North Korea in this united kingdom is very much like how the deal goes for Scotland in the UK - devolution of sorts, albeit 'Juche' flavoured.

The leadership gig in North Korea is very much like what the Japanese imposed with a holy emperor type of person having absolute god like authority. This was the model for the Kim dynasty to follow.

So what is wrong with a united Korea?

In a matter of a generation a united Korea would be a GDP powerhouse with ample natural resources and great people. Korea would be unstoppable to become bigger than everyone except one or two others when it comes to global clout. Really there would be no excuses for not giving Korea a seat at the UN, plus their currency could be up there with the Euro as a currency to trade in.

So it serves the interests of everyone else on the UN to have Korea divided. And occupied in the South by good old 'global policeman' Uncle Sam.

We live in a Western world of Full Spectrum Dominance, discussion of North Korea is skewed so that we imagine these hordes from the North flattening all those big cities in the south with their cruddy armaments and dirty bombs. However, any understanding of the North Korean position and any appreciation of their goals puts out of mind these silly Western fears. It is just propaganda, a shaping of Western minds, a filter bubble that has been going on for 75 or so years, inescapable.

Anyone in the West that attempts to read the words of the North and try to understand their position is to be scapegoated and regarded with suspicion. In the West our views have to be suckled from the teat of the TV news, there is no scope for listening to the other side. We have our news journalists to not do that for us so we don't have to either.
I suspect many people deal with potential customer service numbers the way I do: don't even bother. Even if you can find it, you have to fight through 5-6 layers of menus, only to be connected with some low-paid contractor trying to read a script. I haven't tried to contact Amazon's customer service, and can't even imagine trying. Basically, if your problem is bad enough, try to make it a PR problem online. If it's not, too bad.
So physiognomy is a real thing now?

this seems far too reductionist. friends can help us grow and become better, happier, more fulfilled people at any age. to claim that 1 person is able to fulfill this instead seems like a stretch to me. surely some diversity of thought / conversation is helpful.
Well, unimpeded, unless you make the mistake of using Google's DNS services and they decide to steal your domain name for the greater good.

Or someone decides to impede your right to speech with DoS attacks (see: Quillette) and you made the mistake of using Cloudflare to protect yourself.

At this point to reliably be able to express opinions that are based in science but offend some minority subgroup you would have to avoid basically all firms based in Silicon Valley. Note the quote from the new medium.com policy:

But it is now more detailed and focused, disallowing posts ... including “the use of scientific or pseudoscientific claims to pathologize, dehumanize, or disempower others.”

So basically an anti-Damore clause. If you state something based in scientific studies, but someone claims to feel "disempowered", you can't use Medium. I wonder how long before other Valley firms adopt similar usage policies.

This reminds me of the quote by Urs Hoezle:

As engineers, we're trained to pay attention to the details, think logically, challenge assumptions that may be incorrect (or just fuzzy), and so on. These are all excellent tools for technical discussions. But they can be terrible tools for discussion around race, discrimination, justice, and so on, because these discussions touch topics with a high cultural and emotional content. That's because questioning the exact details can easily be perceived as questioning the overall validity of the effort, or the veracity of the historical context.

An entire subculture founded in the advancement of science is systematically turning its back on science, in case it 'offends' someone. A milestone in the (d)evolution of the Valley.
While it doesn't violate your argument (freedom of association) I'm less happy about how this isn't specifically about what's published in Medium: the criteria is specific individuals:

"We do not allow posts or accounts that engage in on-platform, off-platform"

It's the "off-platform" part that bothers me about such policies.

Thought experiment: Would Medium ban Henry Kissinger, were he to open an account?
It was a primary button on the hero image in the standard "Header/Subheader/Call to Action" format. It was basically the only thing they wanted users to interact with.

>Of course it did, it looked more like a button!

And buttons without the look of a button are just called links. Links without visual distinction may as well be invisible. Like the infamous "black text link with no underline in the body of a paragraph of black text".
