Thanks. I'd love it if the first comment on every post was a link to a wikipedia article or other reasonably dry/authoritative source describing the substantive subject of the story. Often (but not always) I'm just not interested in reading the "human element" aspects that often dominate general/popular news stories. A title like this pricks my curiousity but I know I'll have to wade through substantial back-story to get to the meat of the article.

"In the Charleston incident, the student was practicing low-altitude hovering in a remote area, according to the police report. As she turned the aircraft around to continue the lesson, a small white drone appeared, the instructor told police."

For writing a non-fiction book, you should probably use Word or something similar. Just make sure to avoid any formatting tools, only use semantic markup. Word is a pretty decent authoring tool. The end result can then be imported to a typesetting tool for formatting.

InDesign is used when you need precise control of the output. For instance controlling exactly how figures are placed, you might more advanced control of how text flows between boxes, etc. It also has tools for very precise control of how the type is set, how big space should there be between letters and words, how should the right edge of columns look, should there be different number of columns on different pages, etc.

Some of those things can be somewhat managed in Word, but you'll have to fight a lot of the automatic stuff, really not worth it if you are a full time design professional, much cheaper then to buy an expensive InDesign license.

Latex is pretty good at having sane defaults. This was a bigger issue back in the days when the defaults of Word were frankly terrible. Today it's to a large extent about style choice. If you publish in an area where Latex dominates, the Latex styling will make your document appear as more serious. Latex also generally uses a more advanced type setting engine, for example it might join "fi" with ligatures etc. This can also improve the look of the document.

Some people like the fact that you can manage Latex code as raw text. For instance using a VCS to manage version history. Word has some built in version management functionality, but it's quite clunky compared to Git.

Personally I gave up on using Latex after my first master thesis and tend to use Word. I get too caught up in the formatting when I use Latex. Maybe it's too much power to handle for me?
Who am I to say what a good title is? I'm certainly not the editor or the NYT (no one is, they fired their editorial staff).

But I am the person to say "this title reminds me of tropy drivel which I've seen over the past few years, and I'll supply the appropriate subheading."

Why does it seem that all exchanges have issues getting money out to hard currency? Is that a real issue everywhere or do we just see the complains, and most normal cryptocurrency investors people do not have issues?
How did you get that at all from what I wrote? All I'm saying is when you have a problem with bank transfers you have to go through a centralized authority.
I was also shocked at this usage. Why employ such charged language in this way? It’s like if there was a holocaust on poverty or something announced by Germany. This is utterly bizarre.
Second-hand, but by Nikita Khrushchev (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nikita_Khrushchev), and that Wikipedia article also has quotes from Zhukov (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Georgy_Zhukov) agreeing with it and a quote from Russian historian Boris Vadimovich Sokolov (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boris_Vadimovich_Sokolov) and doesn’t mention this as controversial.

Yes, that whole page may be biased, but Stalingrad was ‘only’ the mental turning point, but only after Kursk, 7-8 months later, was the German collapse unavoidable. Even then, lend lease didn’t contribute much percentage-wise, but it doesn’t take a huge amount to tip a well balanced battle.

Also, the allied landing in Sicily forced Hitler to move forces from Kursk, and that might not have taken place that early without land lease aid to the British.
Then you should have focused on maintainability in your comment, not legibility.
I eat Quorn on a weekly basis (my family except me is vegetarian). Frankly it's not so bad. I find it reasonably good actually.

So yeah, it's "processed", but if it can make a subset of vegetarians eat healthier (some don't want to bother counting amino-acids; which is important if you are 100% vegetarian), then…
It's a personal choice. The industrial cleaners make my eyes water and my nose run and can make it difficult to breathe.

This doesn't, it works much better, and is much cheaper.

Book Skin in the Game: Hidden Asymmetries in Daily Life
As the article quotes:"I was one of about four people who thought that Wave would have been a good project", and I really loved Google Wave (while at the same time I don't like many of Google's anti-privacy practices). The fact that 2-5-10 people can simultaneously work on the same piece of text, eliminating the risk of forking, enabling tracking/auditing for every key-press.. that was a dream come true. I am saddened by the fact that this went to sleep. I do understand that Google Docs is (somewhat) involving this, and that's something positive.

As far as "collaborative editing environment(s)" go, I would love to see more alternatives with such capabilities.
Who are you to clap for their achievements? There's a story about China's leap in science at the top. Maybe you should read it. Tunnel visions and echo chambers helps noone.

> Are employees in the US really such ducklings that they swallow such insult and paternalism?

AFAICT: yes.

But they don't really have a choice. "At will" employment, combined with employer-based health insurance, huge debt loads (student loans, mortgages) and no social security puts employees in a pretty weak position. And that apparently weakens management skills considerably, we had an import from the US whose exclusive management skill apart from blaming the team for his obvious and blatant screwups appeared to be ultimatums of the form "if you don't like it, you can leave".

H1Bs are in an even worse situation, because in theory they have to leave the country at the very moment their employment is terminated (in practice there is a small grace period).

I threw up a little at the "binding arbitration clause" mentioned in the article forced onto employees with their contracts. In Germany, for example, arbitration clauses are simply illegal in employment law. More generally, when involving consumers, they must be separate, signed agreements, so cannot be imposed as fine-print or as parts of a different agreement.
Everytime this disccusion comes up I'm missing a major point (so either my very own twisted idea or it's usually phrased in a way I can't comprehend).

So I don't want to say "it depends", but... it depends.

I seem to operating/administrating/using my machines in a certain way, regardless of their official designation as "production/QA/development/just-working-by-chance" - I have A LOT (say, 80-100%) of packages of the system where I simply care about two things:

a) does it work and

b) is it recent enough to include some features I need.

These are installed by a distro package manager and only get security updates. Everything is awesome.

On the other hand, those 5-20% other packages are usually either not packaged at all in $distro, or too old, or somethings's wrong or I'm really developing against git HEAD. So now the complicated part:

Do I use the latest and greatest version? (Debian unstable, arch/void/other rolling release)

Do I just use the language package manager anyway because will never get packages this year?

TLDR: For all the software (majority) I don't have a laser focus on, I love the distro packages. For some things, the language package manager is fine (or I will use nixpkgs or GNU stow or just plain make install to /usr/local) and for a tiny part I will manually "git pull" every few hours or days and use that. And all of this is not a problem, it works for me[tm].
The information they collect is not available for credit scoring anywhere else but China. While many services exist that offer "social scoring" or a combination thereof (Fico XD score), none of them rank well and offer loan approvals outside a few hundred dollars in working capital loans.

That's a liberal-communist paper, what do you expect?
I'm a mere user of Arch so I don't know what the official policy is, but from where I'm standing, it looks like---at least for the community repo---the policy is "do what works." You are indeed right that Go and Rust applications are packaged as-is without having all of their corresponding library dependencies packaged as well. But, for example, Haskell applications like pandoc do have all their libraries packaged. Compare the output of, say, `pacman -Si docker` and `pacman -Si pandoc`.
Especially with Flickr stagnating at the hands of Yahoo, Google more or less had the market for a high-quality photo sharing site to itself had it wanted it.

That said, surveying today's landscape, it would appear that there isn't actually a huge amount of demand for either full resolution user-curated sites focused on photography or RSS readers. The vast bulk of users are fine with throwing their baby and cat pictures up on more casual sites like Facebook and Instagram or getting their news from Facebook/Reddit/etc.
Yes. To most native Chinese mainland people, the implied meaning of the title would be contradictory to the content of the article.

If it was meant as a Chinese equivalence for "leapfrog", the author is certainly missing some research, presuming good intentions.
Migrating Batch ETL to Stream Processing:A Netflix Case Study with Kafka and Flink
What would be an explanation that involves calculus? The only one I know is that x^(a+b) = x^a * x^b holds for positive a and b, and to uphold that pattern, it's necessary that x^0 = 1, x^-1 = 1/x and so on. For me, all of that was covered long before calculus.
As an Indian, I am always pleased to see the advances China is making in all facets of life. It shows that another model of development is possible - and one need not blindly follow the American individualist/"free markets" model. In fact, one of the reason why we see an immediate influx of anti-China comments in any such article is driven by fear (possibly at a subconscious level) that the Chinese model actually works.
If you need excellent graphics performance (e.g. for games or AR). For better access to cameras and microphone and maybe other hardware such as tilt sensor, fingerprint ID, etc. For two-way integration with user's calendar, contacts, etc. Integration with cloud storage services (Dropbox, iCloud, google drive).

People are more likely to enable notifications, location access, and the like on an app than a website; and an app doesn't need to be open for notifications to appear. You also get background update services for an app.

Drag and drop tends to work better in apps than mobile web (where the gesture often becomes confused with scrolling).

And on iOS at least, Apple's ecosystem provides some utilities that let you theoretically get away with not having a server (for purchases, game scores, and the like).
Bug fixes are the same thing as a feature request. They have an implementation cost, and an expected gain in revenue (= reduced loss in revenue). It's still the role of the product manager to prioritize it. A 1:10000 freak accident that is not reproducible and therefor hard to fix probably won't be fixed for quite some time, no matter how much it sucks for the single affected customer.

Unless you are running a business where each customer pays a relatively big chunck of money (I'd say enough to employ a single developer), you always have to run the numbers, no matter if it is a feature request or a "holy shit" bug.
Whole foods are plant foods that are unprocessed and unrefined. The process extracts proteins, so it's not whole food.

Again, the assumption that whole food is automatically better is not true. There are good reasons why whole foods are generally healthier (good mix of nutrients, micronutrient, fibers, water), but there is no reason to assume that they have some kind of magical quality in them.
Briton are 95% comfortable with massive surveillance. The "average Joe" has the "I got nothing to hide" and that "go get them paedophiles", which are very true statements.

We are talking about a nation that has 4,200,000 [1] cameras surveilling them and nobody bats an eye about this. For some reason, Britons have decided (or was forced to them and they didn't push back) that privacy is not necessary, so, let them have it.

What harm can 3 more cameras can do? :) (per kiosk, per street)

I came here to say that. I'm no expert in optics, much less quantum optics, but they seem to have created some kind of fancy material with unusual optical properties.

I'm very disappointed that MIT News themselves are so misleading. If I couldn't pirate the paper, I'd be left with the impression that they said they broke some kind of fundamental physics rule. They should leave heavy editorialization and sensationalisation for the news websites further down the chain.

> When I go to the grocery store, I usually keep a sum of the price in my head while I pick products. That way I'll know if something is off at the counter.

I wouldn't be able to CBA w/that during grocery shopping, I got way more to do whilst grocery shopping. Adhering my shopping list whilst checking for deals, and getting the correct items and correct amount. Figuring out in my head what combines with what recipe-wise.

For grocery shopping I ask for the receipt and then verify afterwards while discussing with my partner. Sometimes something's off in our advantage, sometimes in our disadvantage. Since its grocery shopping, we're talking about a few EUR here and there. If its non-grocery shopping, then I take quicker note.

As a rule of thumb the following rule appears to apply for me: the more expensive the item(s) the more cautious I am (denotes quality), but the more items the less cautious I am as well (denotes quantity). Why? Because its easier to do the former, and the latter becomes more difficult till we get to the CBA point.

Instead, I go for some deals, and then allow myself some treats as well, but never too much of either. The result is I mostly follow the grocery shopping list but I never know beforehand how much I exactly gotta pay, but I pay electronic either way; not with cash. I noticed when I've been in Germany and paid with cash, I took far better note of prices. Incidentally, groceries are generally cheaper in Germany as well...

what is it in highly processed food that causes cancer?

is it all processes that do it? or does some highly processed food NOT have a link to cancer because they're processed differently?
I was wondering the same. It wouldn't surprise me if this was a submarine PR campaign [1] spreading FUD about meat replacements.

I have an issue, when e.g. Argos is using my phone's wifi antenna (even when I'm not connected to their network) to track where do I walk within their stores.

I do accept the fact that any cell signal provider can also track my movements since I am using their antennas.

I do perfectly understand that the STATE (law, justice, etc.) can also track my movements, and does so, using due process (I hope). But a private corporate, to be seeing where do I walk, what do I use, for me it is a problem.

In the same spirit Google was slapped by openly tracking every WiFi signal their cars intercepted. What if I don't want MY home wifi, or MY phone's wifi be a tool for THEM to make billions? Why do I need to be a product for their greed?
I find a combination useful.

The things I read without doing exercises gives shallow knowledge indeed, but that shallow knowledge lets me know what I must learn about later when I need it. Also shallow knowledge is easier to obtain, so I can spend time on getting shallow knowledge that would not have been time I could use for real learning because there the limit to how much real learning can be absorbed during say a day is lower than the amount of time available in a day IMO.
Technology moves much faster than regulation. It wasn't the slap on the wrist that MS received that brought down its influence - it was Facebook, Apple, Google, and Amazon. Especially Apple and Google that made PCs less relevant to most users and developers.

In 2016, the government was in the process of forcing cable companies to allow third party set top boxes. The cable companies fought back, the government dropped the pursuit and guess what? Technology made the need much less relevant.

https://www.recode.net/2017/1/31/14453444/fcc-tv-open-set-to...

Now even though the cable company "won" they loss anyway. They are still losing cable subscribers and companies like DirecTV and Sling came along.

I pay $35 a month for DirecTVNow, get all of the cable channels I care about and in my local market, get all of the OTA channels (NBC, CBS, Fox, ABC, and the CW). While the government was fighting the last war - cable set top boxes - the industry had moved on to creating services that let you watch live TV anywhere - on your phone, tablet, internet connected set top boxes, game consoles etc.

While the government was worried about MS unbeatable dominance on the desktop, during the next 10 years, the battle had moved to mobile.

When they start enabling the cameras, thereby likely capturing passers-by too, things could get tricky.
It's amazing how much progress a society can make when it isn't tearing itself apart through endless political internecine warfare over imaginary grievances. Group cohesion, trust, and commonality of purpose can make up for almost any material disadvantage.
Are you responding to a since changed title?

I think the main point in the article is that fixed nitrogen is incredibly important to modern society and that we are not paying enough attention to one of the consequences of that.
The employer must be able to document that the termination is due to cooperation difficulties. Google didn't provide any such documentation. Hence terminating Damore for the manifesto would have been illegal in Denmark. That's the point -- Damore's dismissal was so obviously unfair that it wouldn't have been allowed in any Western European country.

Yes that's the code. They have to use a reinforced concrete structure that is earthquake resistant. It houses the elevators, the stair cases, and utilities. It's pretty standard everywhere for tall building.
Mood disorders might have underlying causes, but the diagnosis and definition is entirely based on the symptoms. Comparing it to having a cold is a bit misleading. It's more like having a couch, or itchy throat, that may be caused by cold, but it's not the diagnosis you'd get.

Could you cure a cough with couch syrup? Could you cure a sore throat with pain killers?

Antidepressants makes the basis for a depression diagnosis go away for some of those who are treated. Having no measurable level of depression is probably the closest we will ever get to a cure of depression at large.

If the depression is caused by something specific, say a vitamin deficiency, that underlying issue would of course not be treated by SSRI. But we don't know enough to say that there always is something specific causing the symptoms. What if the issue is actually a serotonin deficiency? Just like some people naturally produce to little vitamin D and have to take supplements.

What if not all DNA sequences lead to a happy life? There's nothing in evolution that enforces that all offspring has to be happy for survival to happen.
if you want to get off meat, your end goal is anything else you can feed on besides meat, no matter how processed it might be.

if you would want to also get off processed foods, then of course your end goal would be non processed foods.
That's no longer the problem. IoT manufacturers now worry about security, because they want exclusive ownership of your data and nobody turning their fridge cameras to a massive botnet (and PR hit). Encrypting all their traffic with device-specific and difficult to recover, hardware-based keys, will help them keep their devices safe. It's not a bad thing actually.
I've always had 20/15 vision in both eyes, so I've always wondered why there are so many people in the world with bad vision. Actually I can usually bring the word into focus using someone else's glasses- unless they are the super thick coke bottle ones, or they have a really bad astigmatism, in which case I can bring either the horizontal or the vertical into focus but not both. I wish I knew what I did right, or wrong!
Relatively is a modifier that here means "compared to something else". When someone says "relatively X", they are saying it is not actually "X" but it seems so in comparison. So they are saying that the combined particle isn't sluggish (because 3km/s is very much faster than a slug), but in comparison to light it _is_ sluggish. Hence, relatively sluggish.
