Its a bug because its false.

Suppose I say to you I have a magical creature in my bedroom. Surely you'd want to know more about it?

Well for every question you ask, I will describe a property it has that prevents me from answering your question.

Where is it? Everywhere. What does it weigh? It has no weight. How do i see it? Its invisible. And so on.

These are "buggy objects". They actually possess no properties. The term "magical creature in my bedroom" doesnt actually refer to anything. But we are still able to speak of it as-if it does. And thus go around constructing speech around it: "I love my magical creature!".

I am an atheist because God clearly falls into this pattern of buggy-object-generation. Take some idea that seems concrete and remove from it every impactful dimension so that what remains seems something, but is in fact, nothing.

For the idea of God to even be true there ought to be something that it means for it to be true. Some property which, if absent, would make a difference.

False beliefs may have other "value". Faires and sprites may be "fun" and "bring families together".

But they are pure bugs. Whatever feel-good factor you want to have can be had without them. I don't believe in any of them as a class. God just happens to fall into this group.

To claim that it is reasonable to believe that any object of this kind exists i think breaks reasonable thought to such a shattering degree. At that point I do not know what principles you have left to deny any form of nonesense.

That is, why is "leprechauns do not exist" overwhelmingly reasonable but "god does not exist" not?

There is no reason. At some point you need to draw a line and debug your reasoning. That isnt an empirical issue, its a thinking issue.

If you open up an issue we could look into what's required. From what I can tell it shouldn't need much work, just an additional file that configures defaults similar to https://github.com/portacle/emacsd/blob/master/portacle-slim..., and a way to defer the loading of either one until after the user file has had a chance to make its customisations.
GCHQ (UK), BND (Germany), BRGE/Directorate for Internal Security/Directorate for External Security (France) have been spying similarly and engaging in information sharing with the US.

The UK, France, and several other EU countries have passed internal surveillance laws that are as bad or worse than the US.
A few weeks ago I walked past a group of people with huge (2m x 3m) posters of aborted fetuses outside one of the biggest buildings of my university campus. These same people have been accused of berating people who disagree with them. I find that behaviour and form of protest. Do I think it should be illegal? Definitely not. Do I think it's anti-social? Yes. As a mirror to this example, if in my (liberal) home state anti-gun nuts were to lobby for a change in gun policy with pictures of dead school kids from shooting <x> outside my university, I'd be similarly displeased with the nature of that political rhetoric.

There are leftist groups that protest in anti-social ways to varying degrees, so it's by no means unique to the right. An extreme example would be groups masquerading as Antifa destroying property. (Like I said, varying degrees of anti-social behaviour.) One of the positions of the author, it seems, is that anti-social political discourse is particularly dangerous in small towns, due to the echo chamber effect.

So, to answer your question simply: ideally, political discourse is well-reasoned, and measured in its intensity. One person expounding on their political beliefs with the intention of causing genuine emotional distress in another individual would be anti-social, in my view.
This. Luckily someone torrented the olympic freeskating, so I could watch it with my kids.

I run http://fairpixels.pro - a productised service that helps engineers design better products. We’ve been profitable and growing rapidly from the get go. We’re not trying to build a unicorn business. Just an environment where a small group of senior designers can work with a select amount of startups and do the best work of their lives.

If you have any questions about productised services, I'd be happy to share how we've done it.
There are two books with similar titles and I'm under the impression that you don't talk about the one the OP had in mind:

https://www.amazon.com/Rust-Programming-Language-Steve-Klabn...

https://www.amazon.com/Programming-Rust-Fast-Systems-Develop...

I think both are good books, I already have the second one and preordered the first.
There are a few categories of exceptions but again, I'd need to see an example of a non-trivial site that doesn't implement any kind of cookie that requires the warning and also doesn't have the warning "just-in-case".

Any site large enough to have anyone with the title that includes "Marketing" on the payroll means they'll be using some form of analytics and will need the warning.

What do you plan to do with other sorts of data?

Like does the cloud just trigger events and this it, or does it keep a log of where people are located in the scene and whether they have their arms crossed, etc?

Documenting something you've just figured out, for other's benefit if not your own, is a pay-it-forward (or golden rule, or reciprocal altruism) approach: behave such that if other people behaved likewise, you would benefit.

They are not fundamentally contradictory, everyone would know they are victims, still if it is in their net benefit to participate, they will. Again, this is an experiment with unrealistic assumptions (getting caught is an endogenous variable), it is intended to bring to bear the the absurdity of the statement that one can control their own fate if they commit fraud.
I love home automation and I love this idea but I'm deadset against having a cloud service connected for my home automation. Would it be possible to run a server locally, using my GPU for the processing?

At scale for brackets, at least, there's a natural centralized authority to trust on the matter, which is the organization running the tournament (NCAA). The official records are theirs (for better and for worse) and any API they produce would be the authority of record. That they likely don't have such an API is a different, interesting problem.

It's a combined issue: the big players have perfected the "malevolent genie" process: bid low, then take every requirement and find the way to extract the most billable hours and change requests from it.

On the government side, many of them realize they're playing a losing game, but they don't have the resources to change the system, and it's not a priority for people to get elected, so congress doesn't step in. (And would they know enough to do so?)
Those are great questions. For one, I think companies in these industries have so much data on individual usage, that they could potentially draw some ethical limit.

For example in the case of casinos and gambling, when one enters the addiction phase and takes unnecessary risks we could be nudged, at least, towards no ruining his life.
> some cool new tech (Watson and such)

I'm afraid Watson is very far from a "cool new tech", many companies have described their experience with Watson as a money gouging disaster.
Can go both ways. Sometimes certain pm’s have been through bad experiences which can be better learnings than looking at their good results.
Absolutely! 1 hour would suffice, and any computing/IO resources could be limited to a near zero.

Hey PIA, mind if I throw my little server in your datacenter? No you can't access it though. I promise it'll be properly secured! Hey! Why are you walking away?
> Except for the increased blocking of commercial VPN's (address spaces, I assume) by services on the Web.

Tragedy of the commons.

At my workplace - an e-commerce platform - we're flagging or blocking customers who use commercial VPNs.

The reason for this is simple: almost none of our legitimate customers use VPNs, but the vast majority of fraudsters do. Fraud is a massive issue for any e-commerce business and no other anti-fraud measure is as effective as this one.
Scientists: Concept of 'requirements' is misleading and undermines good design
I'd rather think this is RIP to the SEO company complaining about not being able to put a a junk page titled "find lbs to kg today" on the "lbs to kg" search result page.

Too often do I see absolute rubbish on the search results page from companies trying to land on top that have no actual relevance to what I want.
Also too often does google guess what I really wanted and show me that instead of what I specifically said.
For me to evaluate something, the amount I'll be billed must have an upper bound that I control. So yes, more solid payment expectations.
What do you expect from your VPN provider? PIA is a U.S.-based company. Don't trust them when you are seriously endangered. They are most likely collaborating with U.S. intelligence. If you don't think so, nobody believed the same for Facebook and Twitter, until Snowden...
An additional check can be made in the same time in parallel if there's extra hardware (specific gates) assigned to do that.
Great to see Weblocks getting some love! I wrote an app in it several years ago, and was helping maintain it for a while, but haven't had any need for it since.

Are you aware of my fork [0]? You're certainly welcome to take anything from there that you like. I think the most recent work was on the 'bootstrap' branch. I recall that I was going a little bit in a different direction from what the other maintainer wanted to do, but I no longer recall the details.

Bootcamp vs. CS Degree: Which path is best? (by SwitchUp)
I'm not sure about the implementation in Session Stack, but I work at LogRocket (https://logrocket.com) where we're solving a similar problem. We use a few methods to ensure that we have a minimal overhead on performance.

- We use worker threads for data encoding and network I/O

- We use the MutationObserver API for capturing diffs of the DOM

- We pull static resources directly from an application's servers (vs uploading from the client)

- Loading method shims first (and later the rest of our SDK asynchronously) to reduce initial loading time

- Batching requests and waiting for network downtime to send data

- We use Protobufs as a wire format for reducing bandwidth

I'm sure Session Stack employs some similar techniques- would be curious to hear about methods they're using as well.
I guess that's what I'm going for... disruption, but with a positive effect to society.
Do you think the JET Purchase and systems integration will help?
I guess you'd be wrong. "Online shoppers" is most people these days, and Walmart is one of the strongest retail brands around. They don't even have to be that good to compete in online retail. I think you're likely the victim of a very specific perception bubble.

That looks pretty good. I’m pretty happy with scrapple on my Mac, and have been looking for something similar on iOS. Thanks!

My desire would be the same but with writing via stylus (Apple pencil specifically) instead of typing.

I take very free form notes during meetings and brainstorming and such via pencil and go back after to make a more coherent list.

For me, free form really needs a more direct analog input. Plus I can doodle at the same time.
All things considered, healthcare.gov wasn’t that bad. Having to scale to the size of the entire country on day one is a hard-to-impossible task and the managed to recover impressively quickly.

I certainly think a much better defense of "real" books can (and perhaps should) be made. I was a bit disappointed to notice that this article didn't mention what I personally find an important difference: You own a book. You can never own an ebook. They're not for sale. The best you can ever do is throw some money in the direction of a publisher and wish really hard that they honor the utterly non-binding vapid 'license agreement' which extends literally no rights to you as a consumer and places literally no obligation on them as a seller.

Sure eventually the courts will step in and declare digital property to be as real as any other form of property, and we'll see actual ownership rights return... but that might take a long time. Until then, you can give a book to a friend either as a loan or a present. You can buy used books. You can sell your books. You can always pick them up and read them. With ebooks, you cannot sell or even give them away. You can't loan them. You can't even be assured that you'll be able to pick them up and read them. You "agreed" to license that can be revoked at any time for any or no reason.

Ebooks are a vague wish and an act of faith in the publishers and nothing more. Someone will eventually push it too far. And only then will consumer rights be restored by the courts, but that could take ages and isn't even guaranteed. Sure that's the way it worked with every single other industry that has tried this exactly identical "licenses not ownership" game, but things change...
That looks really interesting. One question I have. The Peter Shirley material creates something that has a realistic-ish look. The picture on your page, which I assume is representative of the built tracer, has a very unrealistic look. Do you know what causes this discrepancy?
>The $14.2 million project was designed as a cable-supported bridge by MCM and Figg Bridge Design. Figg was hired to design the replacement for a bridge on I35 in Minnesota that collapsed in 2007 and killed 13 people.

1 paragraph later.

>“In our 40-year history, nothing like this has ever happened before,” Figg said.

EDIT - As others have pointed out... I misread these statements.
That's when you contact your bank and issue a chargeback.
> Price - I was considering something reasonably cheap around $1,500 to $2,000 for a studio.

It's next to impossible to find a studio in MTV in that price range. Anyway, you will have better luck searching on Craigslist or apartments.com with the appropriate filters than asking here.
It's really beautiful, probably one of the more enjoyable web applications I've used. Plus you can share with your friends and because it's git you see that history which is neat!

Just curious where you heard the phrase "deal flow is the lifeblood of any VC". I read that exact line last night from a book.
Germans have a very different risk-reward preference to Americans.

A majority of the American electorate seem to tolerate at-will employment, the barest minimum of a welfare state and millions of people without healthcare. That set of values is probably part of the reason why America has such a high GDP per capita, but it's not objectively correct.

German companies do take risks and do innovate, but they rarely if ever bet the entire company on a 10x or bust play. German workers enjoy very good statutory rights, but they also have a relationship of mutual trust with employers, aided by a strong and progressive trade union movement. By and large, German workers would rather take a pay cut than see a round of layoffs.

Don't straw-man that position just because you disagree with it. Don't act like the Germans are terrible cowards because they value stability and security. Their society has made an entirely rational and reasonable set of choices about the rights of workers and the responsibilities of employers.
Org-brain allows me to have more than one parent. For example, I have a list of books I've read and reviewed (for personal use). When I started using org-brain I added author entries as parents; for comics I can do author and artists. So in the tree it looks like

* Read Books

-- Book Title

Review

* Authors

-- Author Name

-- Author Name 2

* Artists

-- Artist Name

But in org-brain I can connect all of these in a logical way so I can jump through it quickly.
I think it's okay as long as it fails to a usable state when the internet connection is interrupted.

To me, the bigger worry is having cloud connected video cameras (or microphones) in my home at all. Obviously many people are happy to trade privacy for convenience, but this this is a red line for me. There are too many ways for it to get deeply dystopic really quickly.
Also as someone who has a couple of Raspberry Pis in his house, memory card corruption is real and it’s annoying as hell. If I wanted an OpenVPN gateway I would not want to run it on Raspbian. Maybe on a distro that runs purely in memory after boot.

But like the other person said, if you value your time it is almost certainly not worth spending time on setting this up yourself, even if memory card corruption was not an issue.
Or so they "say"...
> The slower turning side creates more friction because it grabs the ice, the faster side glides over rather than grabbing.

For surfaces that do not melt to create a liquid film, this intuition is wrong. If any sliding is taking place, then static friction has been overcome, and kinetic friction is at play. Dry surface kinetic friction doesn't increase with speed: well, the coefficient doesn't but the actual force does!

Pen. Paper.
Every time I see someone taking notes on a computer, they start typing whatever they hear, word for word. Pen forces you to slow down. Makes you organize the concepts, highlight the important things, summarize.

According to this article, there's evidence that you learn better that way.
https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/a-learning-secret...

But who knows. I just know it works for me. Plus, I hate lugging around a laptop everywhere I go. Composition book is lighter.

If you switch to pens, try gel pens. Less hand fatigue. I don't mess with fountain pens as they are more expensive, prone to failure, and just come across as pretentious IMO.
I think there is an important distinction here. See:

> It was meant to sabotage the firm’s operations and trigger an explosion.

This seems quite different than Stuxnet, which was very carefully created for a specific purpose of damaging centrifuges at an Iranian nuclear enrichment facility in a very quiet manner, not causing explosions.
It's nonsensical to shutdown the discussion so quickly. This wasn't a BIP. You can hash the UXTO set and put the hash in the blockchain, or put the UXTO set in special blocks, or cross-validate the UXTO set across nodes. There are solutions.
> Rational numbers always give precise results, they don't introduce rounding errors and they don't require us to acknowledge a “smallest representable unit”

This is assertion may be invalid when the problem domain includes either (a) compound interest calculations that require calculating a rational number raised to a rational power, (b) expected value calculations with random variables drawn from a probability distribution such as the normal or exponential that is defined using transcendental functions, (c) any formula involving e, pi or the mathematician's favorite, those three little dots ...

For example, the asserted feature of rational arithmetic does nothing for one facing the 6th grade arithmetic problem that introduced us all to the shortcomings of decimal numbers when I went to school: One quart of paint covers 5 square feet; paint costs $2.75 per gallon; how much will it cost to paint a circle 4 yards in diameter?

Only thing I have to suggest is changing your sound recording setup to reduce the echo.

Ehhhh... try it, you'll be surprised.

I default to Amazon, but if I don't see what I want in my price range I try Walmart as well. This is probably playing into some stereotypes, but when I needed some thermals for going hunting this last year I first tried Amazon and Cabelas, but their prices were around $10/shirt. Walmart had them for less than $2/shirt. Free 2 day shipping, too!

Generally though—and perhaps to your point—buying from Walmart, whether in person or online, always feels lower quality than Amazon. I don't quite know why, but it does.
It's pretty, it works, it's pricey..i like some of the marketing around it and the buzz features they have.
Honestly I found that like a Google spreadsheet with the Blockspring addon works best for most of my scenarios..

P.s. Along the funding they announced a new feature, and the blog post that goes with it has an embedded map that breaks responsiveness on mobile...did no one really double check before announcing a major feature release?

One major benefit to running your own is that a non-zero number of PIA's IPs are blocked on many sites. A random VPS IP is much less likely to be.
