Can letting go be the change that qualifies under this definition? For most of my users the problem making them (and me) miserable is not the absence of the minor, nice-to-have feature which they have turned into a major defect in their mind. It's the neurosis itself. The change they need to make is to lighten up rather than dancing in the entryway of my cube on tiptoes like they have to tinkle until I break down and work on their pet priority.

(edit for clarity)
But fake news didn't mean "news that liberals and leftists don't like" back then
I expect the domain registrar terms and conditions would get your domain shut down sooner or later.
If you give your friend that data, it's out of your hands. If you don't want your email address or birthdate to be known, don't give it to anyone.

I pretty much opertate from the point of view that anything I send in an email or text is public, and temper what I write accordingly.
I really like this idea, and while it seems like it would be a bit difficult for Apple to implement and the common consumer to understand, it would still further their goal of providing privacy to their users. Plus it would help consumers decide what services they want to give their information and analytics data to, which is pretty powerful.
You're spot on. Anyone who thinks our society is broken now compared to the past is being ignorant of how downright terrible life was for most of humanity throughout history.

This society has given me, a female individual, full autonomy over my body, my education, and my career prospects (for most anything short of being a catholic priest!) and protects my right to that autonomy via law. My grandmother didn't even have that. This society has produced and distributed vaccines that protect my entire generation from devastating illness. This society has seen the harm that inhumane treatment towards people of color and homosexual people has and legislated protections for both (cultural norms are still behind in some places, but vastly improved over previous generations).

You may think that too many facebook notifications is stressful, but how stressed do you think Alan Turing felt when he was tried for indecency and medically castrated for being gay? Heck, compared to many generations before that (and some deeply conservative societies that still exist in theocracies today), he was lucky to not be murdered by the government.

I freaking love modern western society and refuse to shrug off all the progress we've made and cast it aside as "broken".
I think Notepad is used pretty extensively. A lot of people are joking about it and its quirks, but use it at the same time. Its like this little weird thing people become fond of.
We hired him in a talent website, when I say he disappeared is because he was just unavailable to continue doing the voice over for us, he was not available for booking anymore. I suspect this company reached out to him, booked him heavily or something so he was not available for us.
"Drink responsibly" kind of disclaimers are quite prevalent in Europe.

Wouldn't look out of place.
Not that it isn't hypocritical but that's a start.
Because the G1 was an AOSP device, and so was the Nexus One, and so was the Nexus S.

I was barely in middle school when the G1 came out, I saw Android morph from the promised solution as entirely open source platform to what we have today, where the platform and base apps are all proprietary.
Are you Wing Chun practitioner? If you are, really good name :)
Says Google, who’s entire business model is based on stalking everyone and wasting their time with ads.
So far I have found it helpful for the latter. It has not got in the way when I'm trying to communicate something that requires nuance or careful expression, but it has kicked in with suggestions when it sees I am heading towards some banal pleasantry that is expected at certain points in many emails - the sort of thing I don't want to have to think too much about.

It also seems to pick things that I would say - not sure if this is learned from my own mail, but if so then it is actually reinforcing my individuality in some way.

How do you evaluate which companies to join when you're looking for a job? Would salary be your primary factor?

(Asking this as someone who's juggling between Big Co. with RSUs and smaller startup that pays well, but nowhere near as much.)
The cease and desist included, in addition to some screens they said we copied from their design, part of the scripts which I wasn't aware they copyrighted.

We didn't copy anything, the text from the meditation we took it from Shunryu Suzuki's book.
My favorite is features from IA-64 that had to be ported to AMD64 after the fact. For example, IA-64 had two stacks. Before SYSCALL was fixed for AMD64, it was so poorly designed that the only OS I know supporting it was XP pre-SP2.
There is too much analysis of mindfulness and meditation. So you'll end up with analyzing yourself too much while looking for that glorious state of detaching your self from your self to get into that witness mode and apply all the philosophies, ideals, influences crammed into your head to each thought you have.

So my suggestion is while meditating, drop all that stuff, sit alone at home/indoor, or quiet outdoor area, and just be meditative while listening to your breath instead of "meditating", and trust you understand basic human decency. Being yogic-like, or whatever, doesn't mean you have to be what people commonly think that means. Just be you.

That's how I've always viewed yoga/tantra as at it's core. There is more to yoga and tantra than that but there is no need to go there unless you're interested. For most people, they just want to de-stress and heal their mind and body and be themselves. The regular practice of meditation like this extends into regular activities and has improved my productivity, tempered my reactivity to shit, etc.
We're self-funded so there is no higher power to call upon.

It's a cooperate or die situation, and yes we need a miracle.

I've taken advice today based on what I've read here and I somehow managed to speak frankly but with empathy. For the first time in I can't remember how long we managed to get along and talk about the problems. It felt like a good change. I don't know how much of it was me, him, or the situation.

I don't expect that to last indefinitely but if we can survive this I think I can create a win-win situation and find myself a way out.
To be honest, perhaps a temporary self-imposed technological dark age wouldn't be such a terrible thing
Here's a summary of one of Stampfer's papers: https://www.hsph.harvard.edu/news/press-releases/higher-cons...

> The health effects of specific types of fats depended on what people were replacing them with, the researchers found... people who replaced saturated fats with unsaturated fats—especially polyunsaturated fats—had significantly lower risk of death overall ... People who replaced saturated fats with carbohydrates had only slightly lower mortality risk. In addition, replacing total fat with carbohydrates was associated with modestly higher [my emphasis] mortality. This was not surprising, the authors said, because carbohydrates in the American diet tend to be primarily refined starch and sugar, which have a similar influence on mortality risk as saturated fats.

This analysis is also based on the Nurses’ Health Study and the Health Professionals Follow-Up Study. Apparently, Stampfer finds the Nurses’ Health Study credible enough to support his conclusions.
Using a product is not "promoting" it. If it's easier to use a different payment method, then why use PayPal? Maybe that's a sign they should create a better product, instead of blaming employees
Its worse with tech items that are completely different but share the same page and reviews. I'm sure amazon allows it because it ends up making them lots of cash.
Why doesn't the iPhone disable the data transfer pins until unlocked?
They didn't even do the LSS instruction until the 386.
They don't have anything to do with it. He's just throwing out buzzwords, no clue what he's saying.
I wrote another post with my own negative perspective on the current state of affairs in North America, but I agree with you as well that we shouldn't forget all the progress we have made in other domains. Good post.
Was using paypal for buying snacks part of the contract they signed, or is this just demands for loyalty by a company where managment felt no loyalty to the staff?
And if its batteries you want, find a trusted brand and buy directly. I trust anker, I buy their batteries from their site. Funny enough they end up having the item fulfilled by amazon. Ends up being cheaper since I don't have prime and anker still gave me free two day shipping.

Denying / delivering fake data is #1 on my wishlist. Wechat (and pretty much all apps from China) needs to have absolutely minimum permissions. Currently I have to put them on a separate phone...
As stated in the article: The reviewer did purchase the product in Amazon and he's getting refund through PayPal.
I used to skip past every single vine review + flag some as being bad. It's painfully obvious they're giving good reviews for the free product.
China is not a good counter example.

China has massively westernized and expanded its freedoms.

Sure, it still had a long way to go, but at least these days the Chinese government isn't arresting professors en mass and forcing them to work on farms.

Yes, this literally happened. It was called the cultural revolution.

As bad as humans rights and freedoms are in China, I think people really underestimate just how much worse they used to be.
I worry because people today aren't reading history. They don't even have any idea what took place in the 1980s during the Soviet era and how the fall of communism shaped today's Europe. I think about the Czechs fighting back, all the intrigue of the two Germanys. Vietnam, Central America...

The other thing is, even though the media was always biased and agenda-driven, they weren't completely infiltrated by intelligence agencies and/or mega-corporations.
Machine learning in smartphones is all great and cool, but when can we get easy "undo" in text editor? Really.
> RDF was not designed for arbitrary graphs.

Exactly. That's my exact point. So, now, my problem is other scholars asking "why don't you use our model X or Y based of RDF" when the only thing I care about is the graph part. And I don't use RDF because of the points I exposed earlier. I should I've put emphasis that I'm working in a given field (lexicography), and that the RDF issues I face may be irrelevant for some other use cases.

As for the JSON-LD origin I stand correct.
It's a claim on his time that isn't accompanied by the show of good faith of a comparable claim on their time. If we were as cavalier about capturing someone's attention on the phone as we are about sending them emails, we'd have to stop taking phone calls from all unknown numbers full stop.
That's apparently the manager's goal. Another way of stating it is that the manager apparently believes browser choice is a good proxy for identifying "bad" cattle.

I have serious doubts that it works out that way, but hey, they are free to use whatever signal they want for whatever purpose they choose. And we don't know their identity - who knows, perhaps running a low-pass filter on their audience's technical sophistication actually makes sense for them.

No, none of those were AOSP devices either. They all included Android Market and Gmail, as the most obvious examples.

The platform remains entirely open. That's how Chinese people are able to use Android even though Google does not do business there. You confuse the platform with the apps and services that run on it.
And this is a perfect example of the bait-and-switch: Location now goes through Google's location services, so you're not saying "FindMyKeysApp may use my GPS location", you're saying "FindMyKeysApp AND GOOGLE may use my GPS location."

For most apps (unless I'm wrong?) there's no way to let the app use my location without it going through Google's location services and sending data back to the Borg Cube.
Twilight app can do the color shift without root.
Even on older phones, you can turn location services off, which I do at all times unless I'm actively navigating.
Are most cancer cases a consequence of an immune deficiency?

First of all I didn't say that "everything is political" but that in each organisation there is a degree of politics. Maybe the issue is in the word "politics" - this is not about left vs right, but social collaboration. Some people like each other more than others, some are more trustworthy to others and often the way I propose a change and whom I talk to has impact of the change being accepted - those are politics. Also technical decisions have an impact on different people and in subtle ways impact users (i.e. if a kernel switches to a high-res framebuffer mode to print boot messages and developers assume they have the width for formatting messages this impacts visually impaired people, willingly or not -- just made the example up to show subtle things)

Politics aren't bad and are an effect of different people being present in the same space, while of course there is a difference between FSF/GNU/RMS with a strong focus on a political mission and some other projects primarily focussing on a technical mission.
Ah, I missed that in the article. Fixed.
Why do you think that any of this is new?
tame has the same connotations.

Anyway you’d have to say more than a one liner if you wanted to have a real conversation about what you meant.
This is a great site I've explored for a while now. Some of the entries are shockingly detailed. Majora's Mask, for N64, for instance has a very long and organized page (https://tcrf.net/The_Legend_of_Zelda:_Majora%27s_Mask) as well as separate pages for the debug and prototype versions (https://tcrf.net/Proto:The_Legend_of_Zelda:_Majora%27s_Mask). The site Unseen 64 (https://www.unseen64.net/) has a similar collection of info on betas/cancelled games.
Because the SoC is supported.
> But that's about public prominence.

I don't think you realize how precarious your position is when we've had things like opalgate: https://github.com/opal/opal/issues/941 . This person wasn't president, wan't a celebrity, wasn't high profile at all, merely a contributor to an OSS project that had some non-PC views.

> The simple fact of the matter is that I feel completely welcome as a random contributor in projects with codes of conduct and among "SJWs,"

You will be welcome right up to the point where your not, when someone like Coroline takes an interest in your profile and gets you removed from a project. It's also been known to happen in workplaces, low level people with no public prominence being fired for not having social acceptable opinions.
I'm a little uncomfortable with the use of the word 'evolved' in connection with the enzyme. Its an expression of something else's DNA, the other thing evolved, to express this enzyme, which because it had selective advantage, made it a functional evolutionary path. The way its used in the article, its like the enzyme did it, by itself. I don't think thats quite it for me.

Also, I like these kinds of articles, but I always find myself thinking about every other time somebody had a breakthrough and how rarely we get told about the dead-ends. We need to be reminded of the negative result outcomes.
If it wasn’t this overhyped, and if not everyone and their dog told me to try it, it would have never crossed my mind.

If it works or not, I don’t know but I enjoy my moment of silence a lot. I also love that it gives me more and more frequently moments where I realize where and when I actually am instead of moving on autopilot through my day.

As cliche as it sounds, I for example stopped listening to music on the train and just listen to my surroundings and “be there”. My social media and phone addiction almost completely disappeared and I’m just in general a nicer person.

Again, what of that is actually attributed to meditation and mindfulness, I don’t know but it’s been great.
It strikes me as hypocritical that David wanted people to demonstrate their loyalty to PayPal, only to quit PayPal and go to Facebook shortly thereafter.
This is really clear advice and thinking; thank you.

We had a positive interaction today, first in a long time. I took a lot of the advice on this board and the result was good. Hopefully we can make it continue at least in the short term.
> I hate this attitude. You may be doing everything possible as an individual to prevent further climate change, but the majority of people I hear spouting this attitude do not.

I don't like it either, but I think it's intellectually honest.

I live a fairly low carbon life, probably in the bottom 20% for people in the US. My main contribution is probably from flying a few times a year, which I don't intend to maintain long term. I don't own a car, avoid eating meat, and generally try to use less power when I have the opportunity.

From the left I hear a lot about how climate change is a major issue, but I see few efforts being made to actually address the problem. I don't count planning, by the way. We need action now, and we're not seeing it. And I also don't count efforts to make other people change their lifestyles when those promoting those efforts won't change themselves. That reeks of hypocrisy.

> It's based on the premise that there will actually be some sort of "new normal" that is worth surviving for.

No, it's not. It's based on the premise that the expected return for my effort would be higher for adaptation than trying to convince others to change their habits, making new technology to "solve" climate change, etc. That's not to say that the situation will be good in either case, just that one is better than the other.

I have little to no control over what others do, but I can control my own situation. I fully recognize that others may suffer enormously, but as far as I can tell I have few options to change much of that.

In focusing on adaptation, by the way, I'm thinking about things like offering engineering solutions to our changing world. This is not necessarily geoengineering, which by large won't work best I can tell. It might be things like flood resistant buildings, for example. As a mechanical engineer, I can help design things that will help others.

> prevention is greater than cure

I agree completely.

> that it's not too late.

This is debatable. As far as I'm concerned, the climate will change independent of any efforts I make. Some analyses suggest we're already beyond the point of no return. Even if that's not true, as far as I can tell there's been no practically significant slowing of greenhouse gas emissions, just mostly talk. Talk is cheap.
To be pedantic, even if you paid google, they wouldn't be treating you differently. Prime example is Google apps for your domain customers...
This is an important point. DNA is an ECC. And it seems the distribution of triplets to amino acids is not random, but has converged on a mapping that maximizes the robustness of the organism. Pretty darn amazing.
Obviously not. The site was, is, and remains perfectly free to do anything they want and exclude anyone they want.

However, it does appear impossible to criticize technical and/or business decisions without being accused of enslaving web developers.
> Is it practical to bill myself out at $500/hr at some point being a front-end dev?

I doubt it. Maybe if you are a rockstar dev in a highly specialized field with highly specialized domain knowledge and the employer is time constrained and desperate for a hire.

The median front-end dev salary is around $75K. Generally contractors can bill 1.5 to 2X what the salaried folks make. But I guess it varies with location. Also, keep in mind that unless you have contacts, you will have to go through recruiters who will take a portion of billing rate.

I remember a presentation where he shared that messaging will become the primary way we get information and transact.

Rather than going to Amazon - you could just tell a chat bot to buy you a book. I don’t think the vision has come true at all.
> The platform remains entirely open.

That’d be an argument, if Google removed all of those APIs that were in AOSP and forced people to use their proprietary solutions.

If you want to do WiFi Geolocation, you now need to use Google Play Services.

If you want to use shared library of openssl, you now need to use Google Play Services.

If you want to use background notifications, you now need to use Google Play Services.

This is an official Google diagram describing which parts of Android are open source, and which are proprietary: https://cdn.arstechnica.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/plays... That was 2013, since it’s gotten even far worse. This was 2016: https://www.googlewatchblog.de/wp-content/uploads/android-st... Since then, it’s gotten even worse.

By now you can’t access the stepcounter, or movement data, or most raw sensors, you can’t run in the background, you can’t access location (except for raw GPS, not even A-GPS) without proprietary libraries.

Hell, you can’t even use the latest OpenGL without proprietary libraries.
Standalone JavaFX SDK – Ea Builds for JDK10/11
That's a fine write-up on the history, especially for the mistakes that were made.

The final conclusion, that anarchists should abandon their theories in favor of Trotsky's, has a bad taste. There was another anarchist-y society, the Free Territory[0] in east Ukraine, which, with its 3 years of existence, was quite successful (for anarchist societies standards). Sadly, it is often unmentioned, though it had even better starting conditions: while the CNT had to struggle with Franco's army (and the support of the other facist leaders), the equivalent reactionary White Army was later defeated by the alliance of Soviet and anarchist troops. They didn't mingle with any local government, and their leader Makhno[1] - though not elected - did limit himself to the militancy. So there was only one part left of the problems of spanish anarchists, as analyzed in the article's conclusion: Franco’s army, the complicity of the PSOE leadership, and the treachery of the Communists–but [also] the betrayal of the revolution by the anarchist leaders. With former diplomatic aggressions from Trotsky[2], attempted assassionations by the Cheka, finally the Red Army took over the Free Territory.

It probably missed the first UUID in the list, because the search term would have been "echo $UUID". grep would correctly parse the rest of the newline-delimited list.
