Last Week Tonight (John Oliver) dove into this last year. It's really frustrating that they can leverage so much political sway under the cover of "news reporting". Then forcing news stations to broadcast this garbage.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GvtNyOzGogc
CNN doesn't stand up and say "we're devoting our reporting resources to all things anti Trump, this is our bias, it's not secret". They simply report the news they choose to report.

Just like Sinclair.

People watch the news hoping to get an accurate depiction of reality. When only one side of a multifaceted situation is reported on, the depiction becomes distorted.

It's never OK to do this, regardless of whose side you're on.
> I don't use iCloud and don't get this nag.

Are you signed into it though? I'm not and it nags me to sign in.

Which one? 8, 8.1 and 10 all have very different start menus.

> Or this stupid "tile" interface. What's that crap even for?

In Windows 10 it's not unlike Dashboard in MacOS.

Your post lacks crucial detail. I worked in a scientific journal and am familiar with the pipeline of article creation. Can you elaborate on who "someone else" is that is paying the publishing fees? These are often derived from grants authors have received. Furthermore, where is your evidence that commercial applications have eclipsed government/defense as research drivers? The vast majority of the studies I reviewed in the scientific journal were not directly related to commercial applications, but were most often funded by government organizations of one kind or another (CDC, NIH, defense, tech innovation funds, etc. from various countries). Your comment just doesn't square with my experience in the industry.
Unarguably 8! My mother owns Windows 8 laptop and she is still stuck every time she falls into "blocky start" menu or or any of Metro apps.

She just doesn't understand what is happening anymore, and how to exit this mode which she never asked for. What helps here is that all those apps are absolutely useless.

It's a disaster disaster disaster.
The journalism job market ain't what it used to be. I find it hard to label people trying to keep their family fed and housed as "gutless cowards."

> As a semi-professional musician, that definition of art as "what I can't do" is really a rough thing to hear.

I think you've misunderstood, on two fronts. First, the definition given was "what Rush Limbaugh can't do." More generally, it's what laypeople, those untrained in art, can't do. If you're a "semi-professional musician," then your ability to perform a work of music is a non-factor. Second, I read Limbaugh as focused on creation rather than performance. Sure, you can play those pieces. But could you have composed them, or pieces of similar quality, from scratch? Could Limbaugh have?
I don't think very many left-of-center people would agree with your assertion that it was a "huge" compromise. They wanted tens of billions of dollars for a symbolic wall, closing of several legal immigration processes, etc. There are several DACA fixes sitting in congress but Republican leadership refuses to bring any of them up for a vote.

Perhaps that particular test setup doesn't go to QIX where both of them are present. Cloidflare much faster from QIX peering nonetheless.
bevi | Boston, MA | Full-time | ONSITE | https://www.bevi.co/

Our mission is to eliminate plastic bottles by making the best drinks instantly available, using purified tap water and natural flavors. Since our 2015 launch, we have saved over 20 million bottles and cans from entering the ecosystem. We’re a team of technology and design enthusiasts excited to take on a stagnant industry. Bottled beverage distribution is expensive, ineffective, and environmentally wasteful - and it hasn't changed significantly in decades. We're entirely cutting out the traditional bottled beverage supply chain, while taking point-of-use beverage creation to a new level.

Full-stack software developer: https://bevicareers.workable.com/j/062BE7B89A

We are seeking great (or soon to-be great) software developers to build future versions of our software. Our ideal candidate, while having their areas of expertise, will not shy away from digging into any part of our stack: web UI, backend, firmware, and mobile applications. We are a small and fun software team in a fast growing hardware startup. Our customers love our product and you will play a crucial role in making them even happier.

Platterz | Front and Backend Developers | Toronto | Competitive Salary & Benefits | Onsite | Visa | www.platterz.ca
Platterz is on a mission to make offices across North America more human by simplifying the process of ordering catered food, and encouraging teams to gather around and enjoy a good meal. Our platform makes it easy to view menus from hundreds of local caterers and restaurants, customize a meal to your team’s dietary restrictions and preferences, and place an order for any occasion.

We’re looking for front and backend developers with experience using Heroku, NodeJS, Postgres, Rails, Angular 4 & Typescript, Sass, Github, and Git.

Our office is dynamic, supportive, and - if we’re honest - a lot of fun. Here’s a testimony from one of our actual developers:

“Coming into work every day is a pleasure. Spending time with coworkers.. I’m really interested in my work… I really couldn’t be more effusive about the quality of the environment… And the fact that I’m able to work on projects that I’m passionate about….”

So maybe we aren’t the most articulate - but you get it. If you value working in an intellectually stimulating environment, with lots of opportunities for growth (and free food), this might be the place for you. Our company ethos is focussed around making sure that employees get treated like human beings - so our approach to things like flex time, and encouraging and celebrating each team member’s personal achievements (in and out of the office) reflects that.

If you’re interested in learning more about our hiring process, check out the listings here: https://www.platterz.ca/c/careers/.
Look at the UK's regulations. If UK govt money goes into a research project, it must be open access. They are, to my knowledge, the only country which uses this policy.
But you're making the argument. You have skills and training and surely thousands of hours of practice, of course you can play plenty of pieces.

Limbaugh's point was that he is utterly without art and music talent/training yet can re-create some of these highly praised "works of art." Of course it was hyperbolic, and it's not a rock-solid scientific definition of art -- perhaps no such thing can ever exist -- but it's a great practical working definition. Perhaps it would be better stated "if everyone can do it, it's not art."

Luciano Pavarotti once called singing "shouting, but on pitch." I think he was understating his gift.
I imagine this is why you lost your flagging power, then. "You are obviously some sort of activist" is not a valid justification for removing someone from the discourse.

Economic ignorance abounds in these comments. Tariffs are more accurately termed a punitive tax on consumers. A country enacting reciprocal tariffs is like shooting a hole in your boat to get back at your neighbor who shot a hole in their own boat. It makes no sense.

There's always been a strong impedence between users and developers. Calling a website "Apple first" isn't a compliment.

Websites become a problem on slow internet, which is surprisingly common in companies. This is because they are often located in cheap rent areas with little infrastructure.

O(1) Labs | Protocol engineers, cryptographers, PL hackers | San Francisco | https://o1labs.org/jobs/engineer.html

O(1) Labs (o1labs.org) is a small startup aiming to develop the first cryptocurrency protocol that can deliver on the promise of supporting real-world applications and widespread use. The key technical differentiator is that the use of SNARKs enables clients to securely sync their balance instantly (rather than having to download a huge blockchain). Our team is based in San Francisco and we are well-funded by top investors in the space.

Cryptocurrency is a domain where correctness really counts. As such, we focus on building reliable software through the use of statically-typed functional programming languages. This is reflected in our OCaml codebase and style of structuring code around DSLs, as well as in the design of the smart-contracts platform we're developing.

There is no need to have prior experience in cryptography, and we're hiring engineers to work on a bunch of exciting projects including:

* Our OCaml DSL for writing zk-SNARKs (a cryptographic primitive for certified computation).

* The design of a virtual machine and higher-level languages for smart contracts (there a lot of interesting challenges here since the VM has to be efficient inside SNARKs).

* Implementing cutting edge cryptography and distributed consensus algorithms

* Working on the core networking and reliability aspects of the protocol.

This is a chance to join a small, collaborative team and have a ton of independence while working on fascinating cross-disciplinary problems in computing. We also offer competitive compensation both in salary and equity as well as top-of-the-market benefits.

Please get in touch by sending an email with your resume and the subject "Engineer applicant" to jobs@o1labs.org (I'm the CTO and will read/respond personally.)
>China has effectively been waging a trade war with the US for the past 20 years. This is a narrative that has not been emphasized enough. America just hasn’t responded—which I find baffling.

It has been a one-sided conflict because the risk of provoking the other is too great. It's like MAD but in the economic realm instead of the military. China has a gotten slight advantage on us by playing chicken and we're afraid that by responding we may escalate too far.

A token-curated registry (TCR) is an emerging model of information curation developed by Mike Goldin & Simon de la Rouviere from Consensys. It's an incentive system which decentralises the work of creating and maintaining high-quality repositories of valuable information.

Academic publishing seems like an ideal use-case for this model. There's a frenzy of activity going on in this space at the moment, and hundreds of details to work out - rather than get wrapped up in theorising, we want to release a v1.0 quickly and learn from there.

Please reach out to me via LinkedIn if you want to contribute to the pilot, or can help us raise awareness among the academic community. We're a small but dedicated group, open to partnering with universities, journals, crypto-developers, and other interested parties (especially academics).

Note: we have no plans or desire to make money out of this project. We're a group of well-connected enthusiasts who want to make headway on solving this problem.

Here's Mike Goldin's intro to TCRs, for context: https://medium.com/@ilovebagels/token-curated-registries-1-0...

I would be curious to see the same stats in college about points per shot based on distance to hoop and distance to closest defender like he has for the NBA. I would guess there are more defensive breakdowns in college leading to more open layups or close range shots. Percentage by itself doesn't tell the whole story. Would need how closely guarded someone is, time in the game, time in the shot clock, etc. to get a true reading on what is really going on with the shooting percentages.
No, you are confusing occupation with profession. Most of the drivers I have ridden with would not consider being a driver their profession. Some were retired accountants, others were freshly arrived immigrants saving up for school.

A UPS, longhaul or UberXL may consider driving this their profession. As for ridesharing very few were professionals.
Good point. I do agree that a certain level of zoning is justified. Industrial vs residential is a solid example of that, as you say. However, give it the power to the local to block the future dweller and he will use it to his own benefit at the expense of the other.

Zoning should be more of a technocratic issue than a political one.

That's probably because AT&T is using 1.1.1.1 for something internal and breaking the public internet for it's users: you get a really fast ping on 1.1.1.1, but it's not the 1.1.1.1 you are trying to reach.
I don't see how "fake news" relates to media monopolization. It's just a fallacious outright rejection of unpleasant news.

In fact, Trump just stated he supports Sinclair's monopolization.

I was surprised Democrats didn’t compromise on that, I think they are too focused on making Trump fail at any cost.

I’m all for increased immigration and amnesty, but I’m not in support of open borders, so a compromise for increased border security sounded like good policy to me.

The article itself implies the same. It's very clearly a case of putting the cart before the hearse.
Which is true, but what’s wrong with that? Perhaps there is a valuable approach to developing apps using a “blockchain” type approach, which enables trusted or non-trusted 3rd parties to more easily drop in on it than through a traditonal API.
Basically the opposite happened. There was a congressional compromise the would have given DACA and funding for the border wall then the White House came back demanding additional sweeping changes to legal immigration.
