Hmm try increasing your water temp and or running the hot water for a couple minutes before starting a load.

The residual heat helps dry the dishes.

There’s also a post detergent thing you can buy that helps evaporation by breaking the surface tension.
Google makes a lot of money from its keyword protection racket.

Many users will type, for example, "facebook" into their address bar. The browser searches Google, and whoever bought the ads will be on top.

Facebook can't allow any other company to come up first, and so they pay.

Many, many ad clicks work this way, and I consider it to be a dark pattern at best, but similar to fraud at worst.

Does this apply to internal software like Slack and Github provided by an employer to an employee?

e.g. An ex-employee requests that all their identifiable data be deleted from all communication and systems of their former employer. That seems like a problem for institutional knowledge transfer. Will the employer have to adhere to that request?
Yeah, this sounds ridiculous if you extend it into, say, grocery stores.

"Store X has come up with their own Macaroni and Cheese that market tests show to be extremely successful, so they stop carrying Kraft"

In that scenario, should Store X be forced to carry Kraft? Of course not, people who want craft will go to any other myriad of different stores. Amazon doesn't even close to resemble a monopoly on online shopping.

U.S. Has Been Watching Russia's Nuclear-Powered Cruise Missiles Crash and Burn
This isn't just a Clojure "Don't". It's a general programming "don't".

In my old team we had a semi-serious production bug result from this (it didn't actually kill anyone but stopped the system from being used) because we had an expression with a side effect inside a debug logging statement. The code worked perfectly in a debug build, but in release the DEBUG_PRINTF() equivalent was removed by the C++ preprocessor (so logically equivalent to "!debug && " in front of every line) and a crucial value didn't get updated. It took some tense minutes debugging it on site in front of the client before we figured it out... lesson learned!

(1) MAD WORLD
The product quite literally has the chrome logo slapped on the it.
one of the meta challenges with socialized medicine is that there is virtually no innovation due to price controls (please no anecdotes). The US essentially funds medical innovation for the entire rest of the world. If the US goes socialized you will see almost a complete halt to medical innovation over time.

Here are 3 (not evidence based) reasons why medical care costs more in the US:

1) more administration (too many rules/regulations)
2) higher costs for the base goods (people get paid more, pharma, medical devices, etc) due to lack of price controls
3) people get more care, potentially even when it isnt going to help

The research does prove that the ball has changed.

However, the composition of the ball has changed many times over the years with new technology and new rules. It should be possible to look back at when the core changed from rubber to cork (for example) and to see the effects this has had. This bigger narrative could be useful in understanding what has gone on lately.

> The landscape got complicated because now we build beautiful and elaborate things

As someone who works at a large company which has TONS of crud web apps, let me just say ...

No.

We don't.

We build ugly disasters, badly, with loads of bugs and unusable interfaces.

And of course, only very rarely are 2 crud apps built using the same stack. We have everything from Oracle WebForms to Ruby on Rails, to AngularJS on NodeJS.

And may I add, the "beautiful" ones are the worst in terms of usability. Can we place take all the frameworks that don't have a very good and built-in data grid and shoot them ?
I already think we have Voat for garbage discussions. One such site is more than enough.

As a Brit using the NHS I can only add that I trust, and expect, every government to make the NHS worse whilst they talk of how marvellous it is.

I would really like it given to an independent cross-party body, or the civil service, to try distance it from politics and The Treasury. I'd like to see legislation to heavily penalise drug companies seeking 20,000% price increases and the like.

Both sides fiddle with it, trivially and constantly. They will even fiddle when they have won a second term or reorganised ministers - because what they themselves thought 4 years ago must have been stupid and should be immediately changed, or something.

Much of the waste is from badly thought through political fiddling, remnants of previous fiddling, and public-private partnerships stupidly chosen during a time of lowest borrowing in British history.

Neither side is honest about it however.
Twitter can be what you make it. You can follow a small group of tweeters who are balanced, post infrequently and have attitudes that work for you. Or not.

But the experience is not under your control. Anyone can choose to take something you say, screenshot it, and try to brigade you. A sarcastic remark to a friend or an in joke or one part of an ongoing conversation is ripe for this, and people on Twitter are actively looking for opportunities to do it.

Explaining Side Chains, the Next Breakthrough in Blockchain
This is a sound article - Clojure's laziness is often a source of common gotchas for new users of the language.

It's often not clear what is lazy and what isn't - concat is lazy for instance. It isn't externally obvious which of the very common operations are lazy, filter being lazy has bitten me in CLJS a few times too.

Adding to the source of the confusion is that the REPL will often realize your side-effects which then won't get evaluated in your runtime environment.

One of the errors I used to make earlier on was:

Once again: "you and them are all professionals at a conference."

You aren't in high school.

You aren't facing a clique of girls who happen to all live in the same neighborhood and have radically different interests likes and dislikes from you.

You're facing a group of top industry professionals self-selected from around the region/country/world (depending on how large/prestigious of a conference it is).

And the fact that you don't understand this distinction, the fact that you think it's legitimate for a man to categories "groups of women" as "cliques of mean girls" from high school onwards without reflecting or reevaluating the changing circumstances is why society (and more specifically YOU) still have a long way to go to understand what sexism is and is not.
I personally get the sense that it's quite easy for the NHS to look good when you compare it to America. When you compare to other western countries the results don't always seem so great and there are definately situations where as an outsider I think things are clearly pretty bad (like NHS IT system procurement).

I don't hold out much hope for reasoned debate to help things though - who can form a reasonable opinion about ~6% of GDP directly managed by the Department for Health? I certainly can't.
Very difficult with large IT departments to get something unusual like this since you need hardware, a way to transfer data from your main database into an SSD to really take advantage of kdb+. Doing that would step on the toes of several departments and would require a large project to happen. Then you have the problem where many people aren't array language savvy. If kOS had a better way to build real time dashboards I would pay more attention. I really wish I could get a personal setup at work to do this (on the cheap), but classic IT really hates things outside their cotrol.

We can safely assume that government policies and enforcement are reactionary and illogical. Any attempt to fight the system from within the system stands a low probability of success.

As such, the only options are to conform, or clandestinely resist the system by subverting it.

I got a bad impression from the product on amazon. The shape was square compared to round, the name sounded too much like fire stick and wasn't easy on the tongue. I know now that it's based on Fire (and they have another product called Kindle) but when I just saw the product image say "fire tv stick" with a square USB device in the background I was not impressed.
They've actually been proactive in removing items that are reported as dangerous. I had my eye on a juicer, but a review had posted that they noticed some plastic shavings showing up in their juice.

The next day, the product was listed as no longer available.

Imagine how well an NHS organised as it was in 1948 would function in today's world. Although there is no doubt that it could be better managed setting it in aspic will kill it surer than a nail in the back of the head. The NHS will face massive challenges in the next 30 years from demographic pressure on demand and staff, technology change and citizen behaviour and expectation. Radical "fiddling" is going to be needed to keep it alive. This is 100's bn pounds - it's the core of UK politics and it should be - we are a democracy.
Few questions:

"Forget me" - What is personal information? Say I have a table with user_id and username, and an order table with user_id, order_id and other other stuff. If the user request a 'forget me', what do I delete? Blank the username? Delete the user_id row? Delete all orders belonging to the user (how would I report these gaps to tax agencies)? Delete the user from my trained ML model (is that even possible?).

"Consent checkboxes" - To what extent can users be forced to give consent or be denied from a service? Like the Cookie law, almost every website requires you to accept the fact that cookies are used, otherwise your experience is degraded (eg. you cannot watch news videos). Or say I want to order something from a webshop, and in order to place an order, I must consent with sharing my personal information with third parties for marketing purposes, else I cannot place the order. Do I have to call them out later? How is this law going to solve things if it prevents me from using things?

"Export data" / "See all my data" - What is 'all my data' here? Is in information I entered when I signed up for a service? Is it information derived from this data (eg. my google search suggestions/ads profile)?

"Don’t assume 3rd parties are compliant" - if I, the data collector, gets fined because a 3rd party, data processor, is not compliant, can I retrieve part of the losses from the data processor? I mean, OpenID allows sharing a lot of personal information from data collectors like Facebook and Google with almost any random site. What can I expect here?

"Consent checkboxes – “I accept the terms and conditions” would no longer be sufficient to claim that the user has given their consent for processing their data." - So if I, as a user, don't give any explicit consent to any personal information sharing, and in May I receive a marketing email from a party I don't have an account with (because they sold my personal information prior to this), I could say they broke the GDPR law?

"Keeping data for no longer than necessary" - My tax agency requires me to keep records of orders/sales/invoices up to 5 years ago. If a user requests deleting their personal information within that time period, what should I do?

"Forget me" - Say an employee leaves a company, and they request their personal information to be deleted. What information do I have to delete? Their Active Directory account? Their salary statements (I need those for tax agencies)? Their name in the git history? Their name from all minutes of all meetings they attended? Their name from documentation they wrote?

Some things might be doable to implement in just 8 weeks, if I had clear guidelines on how to do this, but as of now, I have so many situations where it is unclear what I should do, and no clear way to get answers, that I don't know how I can comply with this law within 8 weeks, as a small software company.
Europe’s Last World War II Battle, 16 Days After VE Day
Do you not consider the billions of dollars which the U.S. government puts into basic medical research socialized innovation? It was only last year that the U.S. government spending dropped below 50% of the total following years of federal cuts:

http://www.sciencemag.org/news/2017/03/data-check-us-governm...

Your starting assumption that price controls are incompatible with innovation is a political belief, not a fact. There's no reason why that precludes funding bounties for improvements / cost reductions (e.g. why Japan's MRIs are so much cheaper than the U.S.), using different funding models for R&D than manufacturing, etc. Individual systems could choose not to fund research but that's a choice rather than a universal truth.
I’m thinking more along the lines of cars, surveillance, heavy construction equipment etc.

Author here. Yep, I don't want to force a particular bootloader on anyone. The bootloader is a piece of software owned by the system administrator, not necessarily by any of the several operating systems installed side by side. If I force a bootloader on the user, that makes dual boot configuration harder, and it's important to allow that. I happen to follow GRUB's multiboot specification, which has the advantage that a lot of bootloaders implement it. It's not perfect though and I'll probably invent and adopt my own bootloader protocol in the future, but the sysadmin's choice of bootloader continues to be important on my mind.

return c
}

You forgot "YAML for configuration. Python for ... I'm not even sure what for (linting the configurations ?), but you use lots of it. TOML for golang dependencies. JSON for other pieces of configuration. There is even some XML stuff in there". Even just limiting to Go you're using something like 10 large external libraries.

When I read this, I'm like ... sigh not AGAIN.

Oh and after starting it, may I just point out, that despite all that work, it's nowhere near as good as a Laravel, Drupal or Ruby-on-rails app, in terms of functionality (speficially, using this, you'll constantly need to write extra tools for basic operations on the database that your tool doesn't support, whereas each of those frameworks have something like Drupal's "admin"). And I might add, more expensive to host than either of those options too.

I don't think Linus is a jerk just for being passionate about his work. His job is to be extremely critical of the code he reviews. Yes, he gets angry and uses swear words quite liberally but it's his style.
> one of the meta challenges with socialized medicine is that there is virtually no innovation due to price controls

This is a strong claim presented with no evidence. It is clear that the US is, by far, the global leader in this area. But to say there is no other innovation at all is going a bit far.

Indeed, it is easy to see that communist China is the world's second in this area, whether you go by papers published, clinical trials, or whatnot.

Even the libertarian Cato Institute doesn't go so far as to say that no one but the US innovates.

The race to build a self-driving car, charted
in a time of sports where games need to be more exciting

There's a problem with this, though. Home runs are only exciting when they're relatively uncommon. If the home run trend continues, we will effectively see the disappearance of everything else that makes up the game of baseball. Players will either hit a home run, a flyout, or a strikeout. Risky plays (small ball) such as hit-and-runs, sacrifice bunts, and stolen bases will see a continued decline. This will sap all of the strategy and nuance out of the game, turning it into pure spectacle.

Not what I want. Not what a lot of baseball fans want.

The power/electricity problems still exist, but the access to internet is getting better - some universities have free WiFi access points for their students.

It is improving though, but ever so slowly.
Yes, France has this as the national scale, and we have something similar for certain federally-qualified facilities aimed at low-income communities.
