It's almost something I would use everyday, but I don't think bookmarks are the right approach. For example, because reddit comments tend to be higher quality than YouTube comments I use AlienTube for YouTube which replaces a YouTube video's comments with reddit threads (if they exist). I'd want a similar thing for just any article, without having to bookmark what I'm reading (or go to a separate site even).

Also I've noticed the proliferation of parents using 'kid tracking' apps for Android along with 'find my phone' iOS type tracking for their kids phones to keep tabs on them for peace of mind (find my phone is this a feature out of the box for iPhones?).

I think this helicopter parent micromanagement has just exploded with smartphone gps availability whereas in the 90's parents were pulling out the ol' paper map before road trips and maybe had a malfunctioning Tom Tom gps. Would love to see some data on tech savvy parents tracking their kids, anyone know about this?

Sticks and stones may break my bones, but names will never hurt me.

I've never liked that statement. Mostly because it's not true; it's just a reminder to stop letting the utterances of others affect you so much.

Having said that, there's a point where we should set aside the worries of our language possibly being used to offend others and instead to just get on with it.

Perhaps this is one of those times?

> Also, I wonder whether this will lead to a slower development of the software. Before you’d have to create a leap forward to impress people to buy the new version, if the old version was still good enough.

I am not sure if that would be bad, though. Often enough, I feel that software vendors either just change the UI so they can show non-technical people how "improved" their new version is (MS Office), or they introduce arbitrary incompatibilities, so you need the most recent version to edit files that have been created/modified with that new version (I'm looking at you, Autodesk!).

With a subscription model, at least these vendors could focus on changes that actually provide value to their customers rather than making arbitrary changes just to make people buy a new version they might not really need.
This can be relative, in some cases at least. My go-to notes app is Bear and they charge EUR14/Year. For me that's a decent price to keep the software existing in the long run.

I wonder if she realises that she's actually culpable here? Juries should be a check on unjust laws, not an enabler of them. She had a choice; she just opted not to exercise it.
> My bet is that they did this to not break Youtube.

Which is fine to me. If I go to a website specifically for videos, I want it to autoplay, having to press play is a pointless action.

If I go to a website to read articles, I do not want autoplay, and I definitely don't want the video to even follow me around as a tiny minimized window when I scroll down and yes I will close the tab or press back pretty quick if that happens (as I come to the realization the effort to read this article is not worth the gain and realize that I probably was procrastinating anyway to end up on that article in the first place so should do something more productive). If it's interesting enough I will play the video myself, preferably with full control of its time slider myself and preferably without it auto-starting an unrelated different video after this one was done.

There is some nuance that needs to be discussed before I answer your question.

The executive branch does not have the power of appropriation, that duty is handled by congress. The president does submit a budget request to congress, and signs or vetoes each distinct appropriation bill that congress passes.

Increases or decreases of a department's budget can not be unilaterally seen as good or bad. What taxpayers should be most concerned about is the impact that the spending is having not the dollar amount spent. (Plato taught Socrates on a rock) You need to look at trends over time and the specifics of the budget to see if increases or decreases in spending are justified. For example the department of education's budget was 73.3 billion dollars in 2010. In 2014 that figure was 40.8 billion. In 2018 it will be 66.9 billion. At the surface those swings seem quite surprising. You have to dig deeper to understand what really happened instead of taking them at face value.

The Washington post has an article exploring Trump's proposed 2019 budget. You can view that article here:

At arrest, a police officer. It's their choice whether they think your excuse means they shouldn't arrest you. After that, a CPS prosecutor, whose job is to decide whether they should try to convict you of some crime or not based on the public interest tests.

At trial, ultimately this would be a matter for a jury. But "bad neighbourhood" definitely doesn't come into it, "I need it for self defence" doesn't constitute a lawful purpose.

The chef's defence gets to introduce any excuse the chef may believe he has, but it's like to be subject to fairly intense cross from the prosecutors. On the other hand sometimes these excuses are ludicrous, and the court is entitled to tell the jury that they don't have to credit such an excuse just because it wasn't explicitly rebutted by the prosecution.

The main thrust of this article is that it's wrong to even be _arresting_ these people never mind jailing them. And you can't solve the former in the courts.

>It is, in general, a career limiting move to tell anyone above you that what they're asking you to do is stupid.

My experience? unless you have like a bottom quintile boss, you can tell him/her almost anything, if you do it verbally, with the door closed.

I mean, in most cases, yeah, I'm technically more skilled than the boss... and the boss knows it, that's why I was hired. The fact that the boss hires people who are more technically skilled than they are means that the boss is good at their job.

Now, of course, there might be other issues related to the business or to other systems that I don't know about... the boss might not take my advice, but only a terrible boss won't listen to the advice of a technical individual contributor that they hired.

the places where I've seen people get in trouble for arguing with the boss is when they do it angrily and publicly, and when they don't get over it after the boss explains why it has to be another way.

This leaves out the taxation side of things.

In MMT, taxation acts as the ultimate sink. It is the combination of taxation and government spending that acts to "balance" the national economy.

This flip the normal budget worries on the head, as taxation comes after spending rather than before.

Note though that unlike your example, MMT requires a nation that is internally self-sufficient when it comes to basic supplies. The problem for both Venezuela and Zimbabwe (i am not up to speed on Argentina) is the amount of imports needed to sustain the population.

When imports overtake exports, the exchange rate suffers, and exchange rates can't be fixed by printing more money.

Venezuela got into the predicament it is in because the government thought they could use oil exports, that were at the time an all time high, to counterbalance the imports used to help the poor. But then the oil price tanked. And Venezuelan oil is a particularly expensive oil to process, so it was the first to go when refineries cut back on production.

by the same percentage as, perhaps? Both are intensely local, and while local tech industry wages have been increasing pretty dramatically over the last decade, I think that service industry wages have stagnated, as have prices. I think the economy would be better off if we had the same degree of inflation in the service sector as we have in the tech sector.

Just my opinion, of course, and I understand it's an unpopular one.

This is interesting. It reminds me of the Rescorla-Wagner model (a model of classical conditioning that's probably mentioned in every psych/neuro learning and memory course textbook), which describes the trial-by-trial change in associative strength between a conditioned stimulus (CS) and unconditioned stimulus (US).

Though it has its shortcomings, R&M is quite elegant in its simplicity, while doing a pretty good job modeling some fairly complex behavioral/cognitive changes (and made an interesting prediction about 'blocking' that ended up being true).

And that is what MMT actually suggests, when one do not leave out half their argument.

Their argument is that taxation can be used to take money out of the economy while government spending puts it in. Balance the two and you also control inflation.

His however hinges on the economy being largely self-sufficient, or has tight controls on imports.

Across history, the nations that has gotten into trouble over "money printing" have actually run a massive current account deficit, meaning that they are importing way more than they are exporting.
Against trendism: how to defang the social media disinformation complex
Ask HN: Mac vs. Linux for Development?
I have been developing on Mac for the past three years. Just wondering what devs prefer in 2018? Mac or a Linux machine? The thing that i like with Mac is that there is a balance in using it for personal and work / development purpose in comparison to Linux.

But are there any specific Linux related benefits/dev hacks that a developer is missing by using a Mac? I know its personal choice but would like to hear other's perspective.

In case of an upgrade, how do you compare the new Macbooks with different keyboards/TouchBar (hearing bad things about them) vs a Linux machine?

Finally, do people use Windows for coding at Work?
Is there any evidence to back this claim?

So LinkedIn uses "dark patterns" to trick users into contact list import and sending invitations, this is well-known.

But are they really sending e-mails in someone's name without their consent? Or do they just make it very hard to understand what you're consenting to?

I don't want to defend LinkedIn, I'd just like to understand the extent of their unethical behavior.

Well. I had that ball thrown to me some three years ago, when my father passed away. Although he was not quite well some time before that I didn't expect that to happen, as the doctors expressed a much positiver outlook.

So it came quite as a (bad and sad) surprise. Having to organise that from some 450 miles afar was hard as well. I was lucky to have a significant other that supported me and researched everything there is to do in the first few days, while I was taking the train back home.

Also I was lucky to have an employer that enabled me to take some days of on such a short notice. Non the less - the process (including selling the home I grew up in) took time. Was stressful and hard at times. But also the returning memories while clearing out my father's home were (as sad as they were) something I am greatful for.

There was one moment I remember as if it just had happened. On Christmas Eve, when the festivities began and my former self got called to sit below the tree and unwrap my presents, the call was made with a small silver bell attached to a small wooden stick. The sound of it totally forgotten in my mind. When we were cleaning out the house my significant other's mum, helping did ring the bell. I instantly got transported back to my childhood by that sound and instantly welled up. It was such a sad moment and at the same time filled with joyful memories.

There were lots of such moments. Sad but cherished non the less. I still miss him dearly every day of my life. Especially when I want to share something I did or achieved. These moments still are hard on me.
I have been thinking from time to time how people like that can use their money for good.

On the one hand I'd say they could create lots of jobs; things that do good but whose intent are not to optimize for profit. Bringing back mom & pop local stores for example.

For his own company, increase wages and working conditions. Of course, in that case it's not up to him, it's up to the shareholders and they do optimize for profit.

Charity wise, it'd have to be very carefully done. I think Bill Gates is on the right path, but he's still one of the richest people in the world so I don't think he's spending much of his personal fortune in charity - yet. Not in such a way that it impacts his personal fortune, in any case.

There's some charities that are bottomless pits though, e.g. aid to Africa as another commenter mentioned. That stuff will only work if you spend so much money, you'd basically buy a country and - forcefully - take over the government. For one, that would cost more money than the richest people in the world have - government scale money, which is still much higher than corporation scale money. Second, that's a pretty dystopian idea, where corporations own countries and armies and such.
That's the vibe of the article, but of course it's nonsense.

Economists' objective is to collect observations and use that to build predictive theories. Therefore in intent (and largely in method, depending on the area of economy) they are exactly like scientists. Whether they are successful at it or not is another question.

In practice economists guess a lot, as do priests and research scientists, and many other people. (Clarification: I use here "research scientists" to distinguish them from people who have been trained as scientists but in their day-to-day don't really occupy themselves with questions with unknown answers. Of course, those people don't guess at all. They are usually either teacher/professors or engineers.)
I'm 44 now and I enjoy cycling in the nature more and more, I wish I had started earlier in my life. I am a kind of late developer, something that made me awkward in the past but makes me happy now. Despite of what the article says, I don't think I'm approaching the peak in earnings (that's because I don't think I get as much as I could, not because I'm particularly greedy). It's true that your mindset changes when you get 40. You get a bit less concerned about the present yet you live more in it, quite a pleasant status.

Though I find there's some truth in the article, the author is generalizing a very private experience, something that I find a bit irritating. It bases on how other people see her (madame instead of mademoiselle), while it's clear that it all depends on you. I don't like the mild sense of ending that pervades the article.
