Apparently if your language isn't used for economic, science or to say activities that advance the state of world affairs, your language stagnates. For example, you would run out of words to describe something like a Lorry/Truck. So you start naming it on the basis of number of wheels. Like for example you would call Auto Rickshaw as ತ್ರಿ ಚಕ್ರ ವಾಹನ. The literal translation comes down to three wheeled vehicle. But it sounds strange to say it that way. So you just say 'Auto', a loaned word from english.

So you end up borrowing a lot of words from other languages if the worldly state of affairs aren't getting invented in your language.

And yeah, the other part is spot on. Kannadigas aren't very assertive of their identity. As a language Kannada is >2000 years old. There are countries on earth today which didn't have a written language back then. And then of course with such a long history you also get a lot of literature.

I have some experience with MM as user and can say that is just an imitation of the Slack. Every pixel trying to say "we were unable to make a real copy of the Slack". Have feeling that developers still use Slack for their own communications and blind copy what they see.

Slack is not standard. There is a lot of the things that can be better in many ways.

Philosophy is not different from other areas of study in that respect. Post-grad physics is very different from undergrad physics too.

A general way to consider the difference between undergrad and post-grad flavors of an academic discipline is that undergrad is primarily about learning how to apply what is known, while post-grad is primarily about exploring the unknown to create new knowledge.

These are very different mindsets; it's one reason that so many successful undergrads with great grades never make it to Ph.D. or beyond.
I think there is a jump in logic here. Batteries are used for power storage, fossil fuels are used for power generation. Proliferation of batteries could certainly consolidate the generation of power, but doesn't do much to change how the power is being generated.

As long as fossil fuel based power plants are cheaper to build and operate, we will not "kill fossil fuels".
The media thrives on manufacturing controversy to drive clicks and create a self-feeding outrage conversation which they can then tap into. That's why.

^Sorry, way off topic

To the topic... this line of argument feels (I don't have much more to go an than feels) unsatisfying. Sweet or not, it's hard to see this as a deal, in any way but the most abstract. First, users' end of the deal is secretive, complicated and has hard to understand implications. Second, most of the benefits (to users and The Googles) and most of the dangers (to users and maybe society) are a product of aggregation, which complicates the concept of a deal even more.

Also, these things tend to be monopolistic and data is more moat.

I think that there is still substantial utility in leveraging a mining paradigm as an alternative to centralized staking for ERC-20 tokens. Standardizing new mineable tokens on a proposed Mineable EIP offers a homogenous framework for mining software and equipment in the Ethereum ecosystem.
Hardware mining is a viable way to economically bridge value from the real world (electricity and hardware costs) to an ethereum token. It allows for early adopters to participate substantially without necessarily requiring a centralized, OTC or distributed marketplace.
0xBitcoin offers the best of both worlds - the economic peg of hardware mining/electricity with the exchangeability of the ERC-20 ecosystem ( centralized and decentralized exchanges ). As the tooling and standard gets flushed out, I believe 0xTokens could usher in a new wave of assets on a superior ubiquitous platform.

Full Disclosure - I drafted this standard with the advice of the 0xBitcoin team

Let's be clear, this discussion applies to all ORM's not just hibernate. And yes, any team that adopts an ORM hammer and attempts to use it for all database access, is going to have a bad time. Use ORMs for CRUD, for anything else, use SQL. Hibernate actually makes this really easy.

Gavin King:

Well in fairness, we used to say it over and over again until we were blue in the face back when I was working on Hibernate. I even remember a number of times getting called into a client site where basically my only role was to give the team permission to use SQL for a problem that was clearly unsuited to ORM. To me it's just a no-brainer that if ORM isn't helping for some problem, then use something else. [1]

What I find amazing though is that rents have been flat for the last 2 years.

https://www.zillow.com/santa-clara-county-ca/home-values/

And prices (relative to rents) have increased even more (>35% actually) if you factor in tax code changes making home-owning comparatively more expensive.

I work at a hw vendor that builds android for our SoC and we're still on N, but it's not because we're resistant to adoption of treble.

Treble has been more like the straw or boulder to break the camels back. Not only is it a lot of work on its own, it has also triggered a bunch of refactoring.

People are actually excited about Treble and how it should make kernel and android updates easier in the future. It's just a lot of work in the short term.

Exactly this. I just don't want to get up, find my wallet, enter the card number, choose the expiration date from a select, enter the CVV, hit submit, and after all this there is a chance it's not going to work, who knows why, I don't even care. I don't like paypal, but it's really convenient.
A thought experiment:

1+ left/top 50% + transform with x/y -50%

2+ No, it's absolute positioned. Oops, unless you mean with flexbox, then no, it's fine.

3+ (first answer, or flexbox centering) Why is this thing 50% wide/high? Seems an odd choice (or a setup to prove a point?)

4+ I use box-sizing: border-box, not a problem, same as #2.

5+ None of them? (does not seem physically possible, probably just crop/hide inside element. Or tell the user they are holding it wrong)

After doing this, it appears that list was just to force a point...

Would love to see better transparency from Apple with regards to their adoption/flavour of Clang. The current and next versions of Xcode (9.2 and 9.3) still do not support std::variant/std::optional in Cpp17 for example…

I'm also an athlete (I teach karate) and agree with your assessment. I feel myself get worse at techniques if I don't exercise and reinforce the motions at least weekly. I generally have the class do basically the same core techniques at the beginning, then rebuild any lost reflexes in intermediate drills, and finish with no more than three new (related) techniques per day.

There is never a time when anyone no matter how skilled won't benefit from practicing even the most basic of basics once you're at a high level. They're never quite perfect! In fact the more advanced the student, the more likely they'll benefit from going back to the basics and really re-evaluating how the basics work given their new expertise.
What happens when you leave for a different job or get hit by a bus? More than one cert has expired because the guy who was maintaining them moved on and nobody else knew how to keep them up to date.

>Except, most of the major exchanges are registered in places like Seychelles or the British Virgin Islands as shell corporations.

I don't think this is true. Apart from Bitmex, I'm not aware of other major exchanges being registered there. Bitstamp (Europe), Coinbase (US), Kraken (US), Bitfinex (HK), Binance (HK?).
I think it's mostly that the relative value of future money to current money went up, due to cheap money and lack of investment opportunities. One piece of evidence for this is increase in earnings-per-share multiples paid for stocks in the S&P 500: http://www.multpl.com/
Because you benefited at the cost of others. For everyone that has your success story, rent control causes a number of others to have even less access to affordable housing.
I'd rather pay with PayPal on a small web shop than input my card details. If anything goes wrong it's super easy to get it fixed through PayPal.

Stripe doesn't cut it because it's on the merchant's site, so I have no way to tell if it's actually stripe or if they're pretending to be stripe.

A lot of small tech-related web shops do take Bitcoin though- so if I think I can trust them (and if Bitcoin is an option) I will use that instead.

Lambdas bill at a 100ms minimum. What's the point of a few ms of difference here, unless you're running some computationally-intensive code? If that's what you're doing, the efficiency of the language itself is going to be what matters, not Lambda's speed of executing the runtime.
You got what you saw: unlimited use of the WordPress plugin. I don't even see mentions of any guarantees about updates -- but as long as they maintain the plugin for say 3-5 years or so I think the "lifetime" claim is perfectly valid.

The SaaS app is an entirely different product, as evidenced by the fact you're saying it even looks different. It also has a different business model.

If you buy a finished product you don't normally expect new features to be added if it's not on a subscription model. If it's explicitly "early access" or "beta" software you might reasonably expect it to be polished and maybe get whatever features it is currently missing (if they have been advertised or are obviously necessary for it to fulfill its advertised purpose) but a finished product is a finished product.

My understanding of a plugin being sold with a "lifetime license" would be that I get any updates to that plugin for free but that that won't include new "major" versions. Similar to how if I paid for MS Office 1997 I wouldn't expect that to mean I also get a free "upgrade" to MS Office 2000.

If you saw enough value in the plugin to justify the purchase and keep it past the 60 day no-questions-asked money back guarantee, there's frankly no reason to be upset unless they stop providing security updates or no longer maintain the plugin for compatibility with newer WP versions.

Would you be equally upset if they never released the SaaS version but still stopped adding features to the plugin (while still offering security and compatibility updates)? If not, what difference does it make they now also offer a SaaS product?

You bought a software product and an implicit guarantee of keeping that software product in a working condition. You didn't buy a team of developers continuously working on improving that product and adding new features.

I don't want to be Debbie Downer, but what's the usecase for this tool that isn't better suited for a client in a separate terminal? I am guessing that the two biggest answers would be the :%DB command and the variable setting, but given the ease of switching and copy-pasting between terminals, this seems superfluous. Maybe it's for easier integration into other plugins?

Personally, if I was looking for a DB integration with VIM, I'd be looking for an interactive prompt style buffer instead of per-command executions.
Turning that into a premium feature is a pretty good opportunity for profit imo.
Because this is a strucural thing.

If we are to believe that not much changed, there are still ~57/1000 people who have an episode so severe as to make them consider suicide, of which 40 are stopped by the mere abscence of a simple method, there are still 57/1000 people whose lifes are so bad they honestly consider suicide.

Additionally, the researches do not say the people are not depressed before committing suicide, the research says they consider suicide with that specific method for just 30 minutes prior to killing themselves, their lifes and state of mind outside that 30 minute timeframe is not considered. And my assumption is that their lives had been bad before considering suicide, but something pushed them over the edge.

Not a significant difference in safety between Mars and Earth when it comes to interstellar sources of radiation. In fact Mars lacks a magnetic field and an atmosphere, two useful radiation shields here on Earth.

We'd do better to build out some element of human society underground, if interstellar radiation is our fear.

Actually, water is very good at stopping radiation, so if there was a massive gamma ray burst that killed all surface life on Earth, some small groups of humans would survive: deployed submarine crews.
You bought the "outdated design" three months ago so presumably it was good enough then. I don't see why you think you're owed a flashy new design unless they explicitly teased the new design back then without revealing it was for the SaaS app.

Graphhopper is a fantastic tool, and having used it together with Leaflet and OSM you can do all sorts of neat things with it. I like the motorbike directions myself, since I had a 170cc scooter until relatively recently and I needed a way to say "I _can_ get on a freeway for brief stretch, but I'd rather avoid it, but I don't want to be stuck with 25mph roads either."
Once again my point is we don't know, and based on past behavior it would be prudent for you to assume they do if for whatever reason you don't want to be listened to. I was responding to the unsupported assertion that Facebook is not listening to you.

If you only use direct evidence to come to conclusions and toss out theories and deductive and inductive reasoning you won't be able to function in this world.
It's a really good rhetorical trick they pull. "The Market" is making things more expensive because you pulled something off the market! Supply and demand buddy! Of course, if pulling some units off the market is good, why not pulling all of them off? The insane speculation has to stop, it literally destroyed the economy in 2008.

> Banks must be rolling in lost/new card fees.

It's not like that at all. There are tons of exceptions that can occur when charging a card. Yes, cards get lost but more often than that, cards will get canceled or closed for various reason. Also, there many people who actually max their credit limits out regularly and therefore a credit limit is hit and the card can no longer be charged any further. Card accounts can be temporarily locked down due to fraud or irregular account activity. Charges can be blocked due to certain characteristics of the charge or the merchant. And yes, of course people do lose cards and get ones, with new numbers, etc. Cards also regularly expire, too, and the expiration number will change even if the card number does not and they must match in order to charge the card.
Removing already-merged pull requests from display seems adjacent to data integrity issues. GitHub should probably be doing more QA in this area.

Though I am biased, since I generally prefer to have tests that exercise more code, normally only against external APIs.

Strong agreement on that pre/post-condition/invariants are highly useful though. I prefer that they are enabled also in production code, except for in the hottest of codepaths.
