That's actually a really good point. I argue for full time employment frequently, especially in retail. It's, imo, a terrible place to work with a lot of scummy tactics against employees.

I'd still say employers need to be held accountable for how they treat part time workers though. For example, they can drop your hours to next to nothing, forcing you to leave the job rather than firing you. They can juggle your part-time days around at random making it insanely difficult to hold two part-time jobs.

You make valid points about the employer/employee relationship, but even if things like benefits were fixed, holding two or three part time jobs can be extremely difficult.

My wife works in pharmacy, retail - and the things she sees from retails stores regarding employees is disgusting. The store seems straight up hostile towards it's employees. It really puts it into perspective how much better I have it, as I've worked salary for ~15 years now.
> Same goes for public service, profit-focused corporations can't provide the same quality of service.

There's just no way you can draw a conclusion like this. I would be equally right in say that public corporations never have an incentive to improve services due to lack of a market or competition (see mass transit).

The rollout of a nationalised national broadband/fibre network in Australia has been an interesting one for a number of reasons. We've actually seen private companies roll out their own networks to compete with both the public provider AND other private companies.

Ultimately, the quality of these services is going to depend on a whole lot more than "public vs private"
it's almost like there's a massive space between the extremes of the two

1. "Ecological urbanism" doesn't literally mean growing plants. It means letting the city develop organically without a top-down vision. 2. The other option in the article is people giving up on sprawl and moving back into denser, better-planned cities.
Agreed that my comment has little to no value

But I was genuinely curious how other people felt :)
To my knowledge, organic farming employs just as much, if not more, pesticide and fertilizer.

If this is true, I would love to see your source.

I buy a lot of organic because I expect it to have less pesticide (and other potentially 'bad' things). And, if that's not the case, I will change my buying habits.

I do understand that there is a fraud issue in organics. I have seen examples of farmers owning organic certified farms and then buying produce from the distribution market to resell as organic. Also, I have seen examples of people doing similar things at farmers markets.
My 401k provider recently rolled out 2FA for all accounts. It's mandatory and SMS-only. From the user-side, is there anything I can do short of complaining? Anyway to "convert" to a non-SMS version?
> I'm partial of the explanation of DP as missing language features.

I find this argument to be rather disingenuous as it ignores the fundamental purpose of design patterns: communicate intent through a common language. I mean, 9 out of 10 patterns are nothing more than specific uses of inheritance and polymorphism. Technically, they don't require anything more than what inheritance and polymorphism already offet, and the only difference is precisely why and how inheritance and polymorphism are used in a specific problem. I mean, what's the fundamental difference between a state pattern and a strategy patern? Hell, isn't the strategy pattern a rather direct use of polymorphism? Is the language even missing anything at all? Of course not, because the purpose of using design patterns is to communicate intent and describe precisely what was the problem and more importantly how it was solved.

But how would you carry a model like that over to a place as big as the USA? Montana, Wyoming, Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, and just about every state that isn't on the East/West coast would have an incredibly difficult time executing this kind of plan because of the distance between communities. I'm not saying that a similar model wouldn't be easy to implement in the boroughs of New York, Boston, SV, Austin, etc., but when you still have 20% of Americans living in not-urban environments. Indeed even the urban environments are far more sprawling and spaced out than anywhere in Europe/Asia (e.g. Dallas/FW, Houston, Phoenix, Austin, and even Atlanta).

The kind of engineering to distribute such a large network seems to mirror the issues with the nationwide power grid that was proposed to allow for consistent solar energy. The USA is just a very, very big place with populations, even urban, that sprawl and are not condensed like in London, Paris, Munich or other countries in the fiber fight.

>Many salt products also have an anti-caking agent such as silica added, which some "natural" types are accordingly worried about.

Fun fact: this is why you'll see rice in some salt shakers at diners and restaurants—it keeps the salt from caking. Though it's possible that it doesn't happen much anymore with whatever some producers might be adding to maintain the same effect.
Sounds like San Francisco in a nutshell.
3. Ability: when google simply indexed the web and showed ads that others bid on there wasn't a lot to be evil with. As soon as you develop sophisticated tracking techniques and become the defacto leader in surveillance there is so much more to be evil with. And worse, the tendency is always to flex one's ability which means there's always danger of 'flexing in the wrong direction'.

4. Mottos matter: if you explicitely remove the tenet to not be evil, and replace it with doing the right thing. You open up a lot more wiggle room philosophically. Right for whom? society? shareholders? employees? advertisers? advertisees? the company?

Part of the problem with google is that they have the same problem that all advertising supported products have, in that there is a misalignment of incentives for people who use the product. In the end they harvest eyeball (or earballs) (or personal data) to sell to advertisers, this means there is big incentive to do things that the eyeballs don't like. The best newspapers have historically tried to counter this problem by segregating advertising and editorial, and promoting a culture where advertising has no say in the stories that get run. But the tension is always there, and I'm positive 'do the right thing' does not have enough context to encourage siding with the eyeball at every opportunity, and I think the corruption has started to take hold.

I think the person you're replying to means something like "context" rather than what you're calling a transaction. So you'd give the function all the context it needs to atomically perform whatever update it needs to perform. That's my best guess at least.

Of course, part of the reason we don't do this is performance: it costs a lot to copy around all the state you need to perform an action.
Are you in Berlin?
I really like this comment, so I gave you an upvote. I also struggle with this notion, but there was a famous case in the 70's of a Jewish lawyer defending Nazis' right to march.

https://www.jta.org/2013/06/20/news-opinion/the-telegraph/na...

In an interview I saw with the lawyer, I remember him struggling with the morality of it, but his explanation was pretty amazing. He said something along the lines of: If you allow the encroachment of liberty in the name of silencing Nazis, one day soon, the Nazis will be using that same power against you.

The lawyer's own family didn't understand his dedication to free speech. I personally found his reasoning to make sense. If you allow Google to sensor gun search results, one day, after a change in who's in power there, they may be censoring something that can harm society as a whole.

This article (and most of this discussion) completely misses the elephant in the room.

The reason food crops are less nutritious has nothing to do with their soil and everything to do with their food: CO2.

It's widely held and widely accepted that if you give plants a higher concentration of CO2, they will grow faster. They will take up more space in less time.

We also know that the CO2 levels on Earth have been skyrocketing.

Thanks to CO2, these plants now spend substantially less time in the field before they get harvested, so it stands to reason they'd spend less time taking up minerals and vitamins, or forming them themselves.

Microsoft Is Bringing Cortana to Outlook for iOS and Android – The Verge
In most places in order to qualify as "organic" they're only allowed to use a certain subset of pesticides (generally ones derived from natural sources such as bugs or other plants). They aren't pesticide free, and there's no requirement on the quantities of pesticides used, only the kinds of pesticide. There's also no requirements around fertilizer used as far as I'm aware. Like most of the health buzzword fads, organic doesn't really mean what most people think it means, and in truth what it means is highly variable depending on who's using the term.
I don't really see this.

What about packaging - e.g. this file having a proper icon on Windows? What about distribution via the app market platforms?

How do I go about upgrading the application?
I am also baffled as to what this "change" operation is meant to suggest.

Enlisting possibly-unrelated operations in a common transaction is a good tool to have in the toolbox, although it is a tad hairy to bake that into each method signature. Spring's TransactionTemplate presents an alternate approach.
As a price and 'fresher/tastier veggie' conscious buyer, I'm not a strong pro/anti organic consumer.But my belief (no sources) is that organic farming using organic pesticide and organic fertilizer, is legit organic.

As a user I find SMS-based 2FA much easier to use. It's a tough challenge to make authentication both secure and user friendly.

I've recently appreciated the Google and Facebook iOS apps just letting you tap 'Yes' to confirm identity. It still requires me to go and find the relevant app on my phone, but it's relatively low friction. Much better than Google's own Authenticator app. How secure is that method?
You can’t compare what a state can pay for with what a federal government can pay for - the difference in taxation alone makes that laughable...
Google does OK without net neutrality. They can afford to pay the trolls, who in turn help them keep competition out.

Where I live, "regular" salt contains iodine for health reasons. Wikipedia says:

> Iodised salt (also spelled iodized salt) is table salt mixed with a minute amount of various salts of the element iodine. The ingestion of iodine prevents iodine deficiency. Worldwide, iodine deficiency affects about two billion people and is the leading preventable cause of intellectual and developmental disabilities. Deficiency also causes thyroid gland problems, including "endemic goitre." In many countries, iodine deficiency is a major public health problem that can be cheaply addressed by purposely adding small amounts of iodine to the sodium chloride salt.

So I specifically don't want "sea salt". I'd rather not have such lovely, "natural" conditions as goiters.
Nearly all modern cultivars results from the Green Revolution (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green_Revolution) and I think typical organic cultivars are derived from those experiements (otherwise, their yields would be too low to be economic). Organic rules don't require that cultivars using in organics are free of this technique.

What level of citation are you seeking? Like, a science paper showing that at least one organic cultivar was derived from mutation breeding? A historically verified cultivar history?
That's one of the most insane things I've ever read.

TIL DHMO is the cause of everything bad in the world from gun violence, to sport doping, to killer cyclones. But it might improve your marriage, so there's that.

organic rules allow mutation breeding.

> the fact someone else provided sources for you doen't absolve your comment from lacking them

The comment I replied to had no sources as well and yet it isn't downvoted.

> It sounds exactly like every other "USA is da best! The east is inferior in every way. We have zero problems."

Actually my comment says the exact opposite, it says that at least the western part of the EU is less corrupt than the US. Do you realize that I said the west [of EU], not the west as in the US? You're the one who is thinking US-centric after all, thinking that when someone says "the west" they mean the US even though it's in a sentence that talks about parts of EU, this possibility didn't even occur to me - that's how foreign it is to me.
Your analysis is backwards. There aren't special laws that "make it difficult for new companies to hang wires." The issue was not Google hanging its own wires, but Google contractors moving AT&T's wires in order to make space on the poles. Louisville passed special laws to enable one company to relocate another company's property on utility poles. I think those laws are a good idea, but its hard to blame AT&T for not wanting Google contractors to touch its infrastructure.

Also, pointing to a couple of lawsuits ignores the fact that Google got huge concessions everywhere else. It got waivers from build-out requirements (obligations to cover whole cities, instead of "fiberhoods" with sufficient demand), fast-track permitting, free use of municipal land for fiber huts, etc: https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2012/09/how-kansas-city-....

I think Google rightfully gets the benefit of goodwill that say AT&T does not. But it's a real triumph of narrative over facts to suggest that Google Fiber didn't have the red carpet rolled out for it in nearly every Fiber city.

(Incidentally, a team of four guys with heavy equipment have spent the last three hours trenching fiber 50 feet through my tiny yard. That's the second visit, and there will be one more, and that's not counting running the fiber down the main road which required months of permitting and surveying. I strongly suspect that's why Google pulled out of Fiber.)
Physical Independence Part 1: Don't Mix Model with Implementation
