"There is a very variable gap between novice, amateur and professional in different sports - and I think the closer to "natural human movement" the sport is the greater the gap."

I find your comment interesting but I am not so sure it is correct ...

I have heard it convincingly argued that hitting a major league pitcher is as difficult a task to complete as anything else in sports - and it appears to be true. The gap between someone who can do that and everyone else is huge and also appears to be innate - either you can do that or you can't.

And yet, it's a completely arbitrary action that has no real relation to natural movements.

Also, as long as I'm picking apart your argument - skiing has all kinds of specialized, unnatural equipment (like a hockey goalie) and it is not a natural movement ... and yet if you picked a random spectator from the crowd to make it down the super G, they might fare even worse than your spectator for the footrace.
I kind of agree with you and don't think you should be downvoted. It's true that environmental pressures will probably accelerate the development of more federated and free (not as in beer) services. I've longed for a rebirth of NNTP, for example.

However the downside of this faith technology and markets is that many people who don't have the capital/know-how to stay ahead of that are going to get crushed under the legal steamroller in the meantime, and police and prosecutors have a habit fo going after easy targets and relying on popular prejudice to get away with it. Nobody in the sex work community is in favor of human trafficking, and it's a real thing that should definitely be curtailed. But curtailing organized crime takes a lot of diligent effort, so what often happens is that legislators broaden the definition of crime and then law enforcement sweeps up marginalized people to make quotas that support budget requests.

My SW friends tell this has been a perennial problem and also have harsh words for the 'nonprofit industrial complex' which vacuums up a lot of grant money but requires a steady supply of victims to assist in order to maintain their cash flow. Naturally that sector lobbies government, and so do sex workers, but since sex workers often find themselves in a legal grey area to start with any sort of political organizing on their part actually exposes them to greater liability.

Your principle holds: it's always better, when exploring a new field, to start without try the most minimal libraries and frameworks after you already experience the pain they solve.
I feel like these are weasel words, and I could use the same argument about anything. I could say Clinton let the email scandal happen. Or that Clinton indirectly leaked classified emails, which is kinda true. Or someone can say Clinton is clearly harmful to society in important ways, according to various sources. Clinton just wants more votes and power. I think we should stick with the facts to make a strong argument against Facebook.

And I'll add that at some big traditional companies, there's a surprising (to me at least) level of disdain for the individual "grunts" in the trenches actually doing the work. The attitude of some SVP's and up seems to be "why would I want the opinion of someone making $15/hour?". Forgetting that people who actually interact with your customers and processes frequently have insight that is useful, albeit not always very macro...
I had a couple friends encountered the time stop during Ayahuasca. There were beings that showed up to intervene in some things. One of my friends noticed that these beings noticed he was present and were mildly surprised. Good times.
Maybe it’s your keyboard layout? I used to make this typo (ls -> sl) on QWERTY, but I later switched to Dvorak where both L and S are typed with the right pinky. I think it slowed me down enough on that keypair that it never happens anymore.
I'm sorry, 50% is higher than actual. But still, is 3750 for US vs 2550 for Indonesia (about the same population), or 2800 for Japan, or 2990 for China any indication of a significant caloric intake difference?

Further, the type and quality of the food is likely much lower for the US group consider just the relative carbonated, sugared beverage.
Sorry, I was unclear. I meant, new relative to the other things commercially fielded. That's the part I had thought others had.

> Then we're a plague of locusts, descending, destroying, departing.

Locusts don't die out though, they just consume enough resources that they can't sustain their numbers, and their population sees a vast drop.

I would much rather humans learned how to utilize resources in a much more stable manner, bit given the option of humans as locusts that strip-mine planets or humans as a species that used to exist until they died out, I'll take the former every time. As long as we exist, so does the possibility we'll change. But I would support us doing what we need to survive as a species even if I knew we would never change.

Species survival and propagation is the name of the game. If you're (the general you) not for that, you're a fairly poor example of a human (which is not meant as an insult, it may very well be that the same things that make someone a bad human make them a good person). I would just prefer if we could achieve both, and be good people and good humans.
Yes, but I'd classify that as micro-management. If you don't trust me at that level of detail, then why am I here?
I'm afraid I have to admit that I am one of the leaders they speak about. I am the founder of my own company and have Aspergers, finding it difficult (among other things) to understand, relate to, or work with other people (much less lead them).

I ended up in this position completely by accident and I don't know what to do about it.

I hope I can find somebody else to take over from me and actually be a leader so that I can be less of a drain on my company's growth potential. I'm sure I'd enjoy my life a lot more if I wasn't in a leadership position at all.
Our economic systems do not support that solution, and I'd bet my life on it this will never happen. In theory a lot of things are fine, reality is ugly, very ugly.

As with all previous times APNIC has let a company advertise that IP range, I assume APNIC will be doing analysis on the traffic that comes in
Just as a note, I don't think it's fair to make that comparison you make in your edit. One thing is that we want to reduce risks with other species, to keep a "normal" balance, with "normal" meaning "what we've been seeing the last days we've been taking notes", and another what affects us personally. Are we willing to take some risks with overpopulation? Otherwise, are we willing to take some risks to prevent overpopulation? I think you can't compare the two situations like that.

Personally, I don't know where to stand. I used to believe overpopulation was a big problem we needed to actively tackle. Then I started considering self-regulation theories and the issues with population control methods, and compare it to other global problems. I don't have a clear view anymore. Definitely worth discussing, definitely a very complex situation.

But they don't have to be the ones to support the whole idea of that feedback in the first place.

I think gp is saying that part of managing and evaluating managers is to get results from the manager, but also get feedback from those they manage. If you're only getting results and not going one level deeper you aren't doing a good job as a manager.

Of course the company structure / culture has to encourage that bottom up feedback (to two levels, not just one). A lot of organizations / managers consider that "going above their head" so that kind of communication really needs to be enforced / required from the next level up.

Auto updating the prompt isn't possible in CMD unfortunately. I do believe it's possible in powershell, but that's not my cup of tea. I do have a batch script that gets the branch and re-sets my prompt. You could create a git.bat that calls such a script on every git command, or like me, create `vf.bat` that I use to cd and update the prompt at once.

14 year old me made many decisions that don't seem particularly rational from the perspective of 14+<20-something> me.

People have different perspectives on these sorts of things.
This is really one of those stealth acts that tries to eliminate basic freedom in the name of "save the children". We saw this same thing with the War on Drugs, where in the name of saving the children innocent people were killed in no knock raids against the wrong address. In this case they're using these laws to supposedly protect underage children from being trafficked, in fact once the sites are taken down it will take considerable intelligence resources to track this activity on the street level compared to using the web. The web's value to intelligence as a giant honeypot goes away and ironically the web starts to become worthless as a tool for intelligence gathering and law enforcement. Once you drive these things offline it takes far more resources to track activity the old fashioned ways.A parent can't just keep searching on craigslist until their kid pops up and then call the police they will have to get out in their car and search the streets and hope the kid was not moved out of state. It actually makes the problem far worse and shows that DC doesn't understand the value of the internet to law enforcement. When you give the web the freedom to exactly mirror society as it is it enables them to pull intelligence that used to be hidden. Hide it again and ironically you make their job incredibly more difficult.
Right, so what changes when I push the button?

Edit: ok I found the difference on this page: https://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html?ref_=dm... Basically if you don't push the button, they will delete your files. If you had a paid storage plan, they will keep your original files somewhere, but they won't be accessible from your music library. If you push the button, you can continue to play and download your music like normal, but you still can't upload any more.
When I hear “change the world”, I always hear “ego.” Nothing wrong with ego, of course, especially for visionaries like Jobs or Musk. But it’s a tricky relationship and needs to be kept in check.
Horrible tragedy. When news first broke a week ago with the only details being the time and place (for non-Chicagoans, the location is filled with bars and very drunk bros) of the murder, people assumed it was a bar fight that escalated. Turns out he was murdered by a homeless man during a presumed robbery.

As long as the members are part of several disparate groups, that's probably more of a good thing. Closer, tighter communities.

> climate change + population growth will stress humans on the continent and increase environmental destruction

I find it interesting that population growth is discussed so little in the context of climate change. It seems like simple incentives/restrictions could be imposed to reduce birth rates. This would have a major impact on both climate change, and the depletion of the planets resources.
Probably -- I think the specifics vary from place to place.

Did anyone filed a bug about this in Radar?
The issue of poaching comes up repeatedly on Nat Geo for instance, the usual community outcry being that authorities need to crack down hard on poachers. The end of the day reality though is these poachers are just poor hunters trying to eek out a living and provide for their families and the economic benefit will always trump the legal risks for them. More systemic changes are needed in these locales to reduce the incentive.

EDIT: and worldwide, i.e. reducing the international demand
As an Italian living in Poland, I can tell you that the Poles' approach is about 1000 times better, especially in regards to immigration, which has completely ruined Italy (although not because of the immigrants, but rather our inability to deal with anything seriously).

The economic benefit to the government from the giraffes is higher than to the poachers from the hunting. That’s why governments will start protecting these animals with more extreme violence towards poachers as numbers diminish.
Good spot! Now fixed.
I used to love Perl until the world told me to stop because the syntax was too noisy. Now I'm embedding JavaScript expressions in CSS in JSX in ES6 and being told this is an evolved state.
It sounds like some wires got crossed up on the way back down; it might be fixable, though probably not through conventional means. (Stuff like tantra or properly taking part in Ayahuasca with a trained shaman comes to mind). But then again, when I hear about those God-drunken yogis wandering around in India, sometimes with followers, I wonder too if this was her destiny.

Blasting out on a whim without preparation is like getting launched into outer space without a spacesuit. (And the things we think we are preparing for are usually the very things that create a lot of turbulence in the journey). Lots of people are lucky, have guides watching over them, the way little kids gets watched over by parents on the playground. ("Ok, come away from the busy street -- oh look, would you like to play with this?") Sometimes, people are not so lucky. There is a vast knowledge and wisdom in the old traditions about this, and scientific knowledge is ill-equipped to understand or even handle the misadventures.

I wouldn't say never though. DMT is an endogenous neurotransmitter produced by the pineal gland, so under rare circumstances, dosages of DMT can be released naturally and directly into your brain.
> If you'd do some research you'd see that "100y ago" actually was often times better

Again, better is relative. If you consider child mortality[1] and dying from sickness important in assessing whether people are better off or not, then those are values that negatively affect the assessment of 100 years ago.

If you consider some other values important (I'm not going to belittle you by assuming I know what you are thinking of, the only ones to that come to mind for me right now seem irrelevant), then that would affect the assessment of 100 years ago positively.

Personally, I think there are far more indicators, and far more important indicators, that affect the assessment of 100 years ago negatively.

Not blind, but to make a really stark example, there's a difference between mocking someone when you have a gun to their head, and mocking someone who has a gun to your head. The former is just adding insult to injury, the latter is stupid but a little brave at the same time.

The F-15 is indeed a proven design, but against modern integrated air defense systems it is going to have a really, really hard time without extensive support from other platforms (EA-18G for protective jamming as just one example). And even then the crew of an F-15 may find themselves in a situation they can't survive. Even if F-35 isn't the answer, 4th generation aircraft have serious survivability issues.
It's not sad by itself. Life on earth will recover eventually, as it has done after previous periods of mass extinction. On a geological timescale everything will be all right.

But let's be clear, right now, we are sh*tting where we eat. There will be consequences for us as a species if we carry on the way we're going. At best our civilization will be greatly reduced in advancement, quality of life, and many will die in the process. At worst we'll join all the other extinct species.
Amazon Flex will eventually encompass more than just delivering goods. Delivering people (uber/lyft). Retrieving packages from households and shipping them, maybe even last mile delivery?

I feel like this article completely misses the point about the Amazon philosophy. It doesn't matter if Prime Now / Amazon Fresh are profitable. They aren't supposed to be profitable. They are building out the infrastructure of Amazon Flex for themselves AT COST and then they will open it up to other services and uses that will undercut any competitors (rideshare is the first one that comes to mind)

The focus here should be on Amazon Flex and how/where it is going, because that service will be the one that turns the actual profit. Just like AWS.
I don't think this is really accurate.

In my experience, the primary factor limiting my typing speed is the rate of errors. It's generally around 1-2%, but the time noticing and fixing those errors takes a disproportionate amount of time.

In other words, to type fast, learn to type accurately and gradually speed up while maintaining your accuracy.
worse does win.

but I dont get why a well designed api cant go through the same kind of real world feedback that you describe. are you implying without saying that the good version just never makes it out into the world since its being perpetually polished?
A few years ago when I realized this was possible I bought myself, a few friends from high school / college, and a few small companies I like a bunch of followers. (50K each roughly)

For me it was mostly so people would ask how I got so many followers and I could tell the silly story. Buying them for my friends was fun because they would end up tweeting about it and I could watch them try to figure it out before telling them. For the small companies I actually knew the CEO/CTO's and ended up talking about it later on. They came out the best because their accounts were flooded with fake followers but after people saw they had 50K followers real people started following them. I believe one of the companies is close to 150K followers now. If only a third of that is real it's still a lot more than they would have had before.

I looked recently and it seems to be more difficult to do now.
This is not yet another story about Growth hacking
Did you look at the product? It gives you schedule suggestions. So you have to know your schedule to pick the right one, which means you could use something that allows you to build a schedule.

If the product is for people who think adding unnecessary machine learning to simple tasks then sure, I'm not the audience but a condescending "you don't get it" is not really adding any clarity. Do you get it?
Highly recommend Quad9. Their privacy policy is absolutely no identifying data logging, period. They're also the few providers offering DNS over TLS. Google, on the other hand, keeps identifying logs for 24-48 hours.
What is the economic benefit of giraffes to the government, tourist draw? Regardless they don't have the resources to cover millions of acres of open savannah, enforcement just isn't going to work for this problem.
Yeah thanks a thousand. This is exactly what I mean. It's kind of grating, only today I realise that "I turn the page, and forget what I know."
> Given how corrupt the governments are in that part of the world and the poverty this may be one of the only realistic options for preserving some species. When the population doesn't have the basics, let alone disposable income, funding for conservation tends to be de-prioritized.

I wish more people could understand this. Hunters paying for high dollar trophy hunts are literally the only thing keeping African megafauna from total extinction at this point. It may hurt for someone who loves animals in a "Disney" sense to understand this, but most hunters have a far deeper love, respect, and appreciation for the natural world than any new age "environmentalist".

We (hunters) have been doing this work for generations now, and it's not pretty. Not everything can be turned into a touchy feely bumper sticker that agrees with your political stance. The reality is that wild animals are a natural resource which must be carefully managed if they are to continue existing.
This is really cool. I was wondering what the difference between this and deeplearnjs[0] were, and turns out it's the same thing. Between this, and propelml[1] (from the creator of node.js), it seems like ML in the JS ecosystem is starting to pick up.

It'd be cool to see more demos like the ones on the https://tenso.rs/ website. Seems like they were using their own hand rolled library though.
