This article seems like an attempt to minimize the effects of radiation from atomic bombings. Given the release of the latest NPS (nuclear posture review) advocating for use of strategic low yield nuclear weapons and the 'escalate to deescalate' strategy being advanced by the current leadership of the U.S. [1], this seems timed to create political allies on the right. This is interesting because other literature from the K=1 institute seems to be anti-nuclear in tone. [2]

I question the way in which the author glosses over the pain and suffering of the cancer victims of these bombings. People were dying in agonizing pain for years and decades after the war had ended [3]. By comparison, outlawed chemical weapons seem relatively humane.

As a society, I believe we need to be vigilant towards attempts to normalize use of these weapons. They may have a role in deterrence, but the relatively low-level wars the USA has taken on over the past 40 years must not make us callous towards choices that will quickly escalate to hundreds of thousands to millions of deaths. With the survivors of the last world war rapidly dwindling, I fear we are quickly losing our global memory of the horror of large-scale conflict and through media, preparing our society to accept a nuclear exchange for which we hav a very limited and untested defense. [4,5] In fact, creating this defense system has spurred our global rivals to develop more horrific weapons [6].

I think it’s mostly people who are writing in Elixir are, at this point, already on the fringes of using “new shiny language” and would be more likely to us “new shiny front-end framework” in new projects.

I really like Elixir, a lot. I’ve had Erlang experience and I’ve never understood the hate around it’s syntax. Elixir is definitely more friendly in that regard and I’m glad it’s bringing the tremendous value of the BEAM and OTP to more mainstream development circles.
Google got a lot of good PR out of slogans like "don't be evil"

I would take whatever the OCA says with a huge mound of salt, given their antivax and anti fluoride in the water stance.
Lots of honest naïveté then though.

Just curious why not call cmark from go with cgo? Would save a lot of effort porting.
Corruption is less of a problem than incompetence and general “not giving a fuck.” Municipal infrastructure makes the most sense in relatively dense cities. But in America, cities are disproportionately where poor people live. (Contrast say Paris, where poor people live in the suburbs and rich people in the city). These are disadvantaged voting blocs that won’t (or can’t) complain that loudly when their public services suck. I saw this starkly when I lived in Wilmington and Philadelphia. The busses in Wilmington might as well not keep any schedule. But nobody cares because the DuPont executives don’t rise the bus, they live in the very nice surrounding suburbs and drive in.
Isn't it obvious that the critical issues here have very little to do with Italy's size but much to do with the nature of the migrant (their lifestyle - the way they want to live, for instance) and their population density in a particular area? It's also a matter of the will of the Italians.

I think a pretty obvious starting point is the supposed decline of recess in schools. I couldn't find any numbers on how many schools had recess as a normal part of their day or rates. However it does seem as though in many schools, certainly more than ever before, there isn't any recess time.

Which is sad because a very common trope (especially for young boys) is recess being their favorite "class". It is also pretty well documented to help in all kinds of behavioral issues as well as being a valuable learning environment in its own right.

>Even back then we had stupid process.

Having done this since then, my feeling is we had _more_ stupid process back then than today. It'd take a few hours and a few drinks to get to the bottom of why, but I recall the publication of books like "Code Complete" (1994?) as the beginning of the widespread push back against complete stupidity such as ISO9001.
Since the question was specifically about carrots, it is interesting to note wild carrots were originally white, then once domesticated white, yellow and purple. The Dutch cultivated orange carrots in the 17th century.

Posted a link to this page the other day, but it sunk to the bottom so fast, noone noticed it. I figured this is actually a Show HN, and worthy for others thinking of doing something similar.

Emirates has a physical presence in the EU and would definitely be subject to EU regulations when a flight to, from or purchased in the EU is involved.
This assumes that because it was viable in the past, it must be viable today. Maybe ads had more revenue then, but times and people change, and now ads aren't that lucrative anymore. One needs to factor this in the decision to continue hosting a blog or whatever else. This trend was forseeable. On a personal note, this is good. Ads are either annyoing or outright dangerous. So the less, the better.

If you want to host your blog, then just pay for it. I do the same. Not because I want to earn money with it, but because I want to. I can see why this is a problem for commercial entities, but not for personal stuff.

Good luck!
OP is not familiarized with the topic, and was probably confused and overwhelmed. Not surprising, as getting authentication right can be very challenging.

I told them to avoid JWT and instead use old-school stateful session cookies because there's tons of libs that do most of the work for you, and they're unlikely to see any material benefits at this time from using JWT.
Huh? I must be missing something. While it is true that “He met a woman she they said was an actress” instantly rings false; had "her" been tried, it would also instantly ring false: “He met a woman her they said was an actress.”
While their intentions may not have changed, the power and influence they have accumulated has changed a lot. Face recognition and virtual assistants that seem to always be listening without your consent or knowledge bothers people.
In the first step, he says roughly "assume half of the nodes change protocol". I named by dog Bitcoin too but he doesn't have the same UTXO state as the main chain.
Maybe it started to tilt then, but definitely they had a good aura to them. They had a solid connection (imagined or real) to open source and Linux. They were very different from old evils. The old evils walked in suits and wielded contracts, we had come to recognise them by their appearances.
Push for early academics. Girls need somewhat less physical movement on average and at that age have somewhat more developed fine motor skills and attention. The sooner you expect kids to read and write, the harder for boys it is compared to girls. Good news would be that pushing reading for later wont harm girls, but would help at least some boys.
The book on Feeney, "The Billionaire Who Wasn't", is great. Better than I expected going on. The man is fascinating.

Perhaps. It would seem equally unusual for a 65+ year old soldier to be in a position to be captured as a PoW in Japan.
> The last thing I'd want to give an API is such an object in order to do something for me (like committing).

That's not what the transaction is supposed to be passed for. It's simply passed as a way to ensure that state changes are atomic.

Basically, if you're using transactions inside a program, passing them between functions, that's the same concept. Except now you're passing the transaction to an API.

That is true, and FB will try to appeal and move the final decision for 10 years like Intel is doing.
I think my posting history here is sufficient to suggest that I’m not a pharma not. Allow me to throw in, then:

Individual experiences vary. Patients have reported experiences like what both of you describe, though the reality tends to be a lot more middle of the road than that.

These are three different things.

Cookies: a storage mechanism. If you use simple cookies (session GUID) for authentication, you must maintain state in some persistent storage to tell if a session ID is valid or not. httpOnly, secure cookies and CSRF protection are also required.

JWT: a digitally signed document containing claims about a user. Can be stored in a cookie or in localStorage or in your mobile app’s memory/temp storage. You can be stateless as the validity of the token is protected by its digital signature.

Oauth: a protocol for authorization. Can embed the authorization claims in a JWT token among other ways.

I am actually skeptical of any plan that calls for us to smash more people closer together. A development near my home wanted to smash 5 houses into the same location where 1 was before. With only 12 feet between, (6 feet of yard space for each house) chop down huge trees, etc... I won a small victory at city hall, got a bunch of people to show up, even measured the land and found their plans were 15 feet short! (greedy liars, it was unreal)

I found out that this developer had a history of paving over wetlands and doing whatever they wanted. (they were in lawsuits with the state over this)

And the kicker? He was a part of an initiative called "open spaces". The idea behind "open spaces" was to save the natural landscape, guess how they do that? By cramming in as many people into smallest housing they can, and by discouraging land ownership.

Greed is disguised at many levels, and I no longer take any writer's suggestions or criticisms at face value anymore, especially when money is involved.
All of the major unions have been broken, with the public sector unions coming up next re: the Janus case.

Even though there was always a limited number of union workers, their collective bargaining set the standard. That’s not really a factor these days.
This doesn't do much for political debate, but I'd say boys and girls just face different issues today.

Girls face what is left (in many places 100%) of our old male dominated culture. This means (for a variety of complicated reasons) they'll make a little more money and feature more prominently in the ranks of power.

But, some of the places where they're disadvantaged as boys (eg schools generally, to a small extent), boys tend to get less attention on their problems. There's also a "sins of their father's" effect, where typically male behaviour is often seen as negative... especially sexual behaviour. Rowdiness too, which may be the reason here.

Hard to know where it'll go, but in a worst case scenario male sexuality gets repressed the way female sexuality was/is. I doubt it will go anywhere near that far.

Schools as an institution... I think there's clear evidence (drugs being one) that the system works a little better for girls.

We could do better in theory, but practically I think it's just going to happen how it happens.
I'm pretty sure he's referring to the comment section associated with each article on the website.

There’s a combination. Psych sets it’s cutoff for disease at traits that seriously hamper your ability to function successfully in life. It has a very tough time grappling with questions like, “what if the problem is with modern life, and not with the patient?”

Well, to be fair to the private sector... it's only thanks to Xavier Niel that the French have such affordable internet (and now mobile too).

Before he disrupted those two markets, it was just as bad as the US. Remember the "Forfait RSA" the government crowed about having negotiated for the poorest citizens? 40mn and 40SMS for 10 euros per month...
Except that I never said taking a pay cut or working part time were tax avoidance. Also, normal people don't usually set up tax-exempt foundations that hire them as "board members" to "give their money away".
And why wouldn't they? It's time to bring back mechanisms, legal or otherwise, to prevent this from happening again. Usually the collective workforce of a company has significant leverage over a company, but with the advent of globalization, the "gig economy", and technological unemployment in some ways this leverage is harder to capitalize on, or even worse, nonexistent.

I don't know if there's any empirical proof for this, but like competition between companies, I think "competition" or tension between employees and employers for a given organization is also good for capitalism.
One of the major benefits of new vegetables is that people don't hate eating them. Many modern, heavily modified vegetables are plenty good; I've seen too many people give this as an excuse for not bothering.

Added:

Perhaps somebody could market some varieties specifically for nutritional content, I would not be against that. The biggest problem there is that we still don't really know what "nutritious" even means.

Forget the Humvee – Combat Soldiers Closer to Personal Hovercraft Than You Think
Yes, it makes sense for the minimum speed, here in Europe the max speed can't be exceeded and on top of that you have to adapt your speed to the actual condition, if is ice or the road is wet, or there is fog the law says you have to reduce your speed until you are safe, if you did not reduced it enough and did an accident you are guilty.

I hate when someone drivers respecting the limit and you get jerks with big cars or trucks behind you and force you to go faster(by force I mean get close behind you, use the horn and other bad behavior that can intimidate a new driver).
I think it's a novel inversion of the status quo, where statically typed languages live on the server and dynamic languages live on the client.

I think that Elm and Elixir fit their respective development niches (UI, distributed systems) extremely well, both have similar community cultures, and both started gaining some traction at around the same time.
And in one file there was a magic number #1536 or something, never got explained.

I think this is a subject of 'customers rights' or something like that, depending on the country. You cannot call yourself a store and do whatever you want inside it because it is yours. Maybe this music/ad is legal (or legally uncovered) for now, but customers are definitely the source of the entire business and have a right to have rights.

There was similar wage suppression (or should I say, wage theft scheme) in Silicon Valley until very recently. That's why the wages skyrocketed. If the scheme could be broken up in one industry, it can happen again in others.
So did the message to the support, screenshotted in the article.

And it's not just "any party sitting at a cafe". It specifically requires that this malicious party is sitting in the same cafe, present (physically or remotely) at the moment the site is accessed. So it's more likely to be an airport's WiFi network - which is much more probably place where an unsuspecting traveler may access such page. Hunting for a cafe with someone buying tickets from a specific airline is probably too complicated to pay off, unless the attack is personal.

Anyway, I don't argue this is all very bad. It is. What I want to say is that the problem was communicated in a very poor way. And even this follow-up blog article is so light on details, a person without some security knowledge would quite likely shrug it off with an impression it's some tinfoil-hatter screaming at analytics trackers.
I just "Tiananmen square" on Google and its almost all about the massacre of 1989. The picture of the tank rolling toward the man is at the top on the right.

I guess you mean searching for "Tiananmen square" in China It seems to me it's the Chinese government censoring this, not Google. Google has a role, of course, but it's that it isn't able to stand up to the Chinese Government. (Breaking it up, whatever that means, surely wouldn't improve its leverage over the Chinese government.

Just pointing out, your angst on this score is misdirected. Change in China will not and cannot come from foreign companies operating there.
Wow, that's insane that a kid would ever be prescribed medication by a school doctor/nurse. That seems like a doctor's visit a parent should book & not just be informed afterwards that thier child was prescribed a dangerous stimulant like Ritalin.

Post-contractual non-compete without any compensation.

Is this the same meaning as that attached to the word so frequently used as a handy perjorative in Brussels (mostly by unelected officials) for folk elsewhere who prefer to make their own decisions regarding their environment?

Your definition is fine but it's the application of the term to specific instances that concerns me. It's mostly used as a surprisingly effective emotive smear rarely accompanied by an argument + specifics that might actually reveal the predilections of those that utter it.
