When did it become our job to police the world? Especially when it creates blowback (e.g., UBL).

You might be right. But the USA's DoD budget is more than the NEXT 10 countries COMBINED. So we're VERY afraid? And we're alone with that having that fear?

Maybe we find what we're looking for?
To be fair, ElementaryOS is based on software from 2015/16 (Ubuntu 16.04). HiDPI support in Linux is better (though still not perfect) in 2018.
> on-top of sockets

That would have been my guess as well, but looking at the slides it appears to actually have a separate "user space networking" path (p105-108 in the PDF).

So not entirely sure it's built on top, at least not API-wise. Of course, there are sockets underneath in the OS.
I'm sorry, but have you ever been to one? I have. It is an arcane movie-like entrapment.

So I check myself out. Great, they petition me. Now I spend the next Monday locked in the same holding cells they put the accused in before they appear before the court.

The hearing itself seemed like a total formality. Doped up on medications, without internet or phone to contact people, no 'real' legal representation, it was basically all for show. They did my case and five others in less than 5 minutes total.

The end result? A possible court order giving them permission to keep you locked up longer than was legally able beforehand.

It's not even worth attempting. You end up with less rights than you started with.
One thing that helped me was seeing depressed thoughts as transient entities, not belonging to me, but just passing through my mind once and a while.

It's like a weird dream. If you have a weird dream, you don't think, "oh I'm weird", you think, "that was a weird dream". It's the same with depressed thoughts: if you see them as "oh that's a depressing thought", rather than, "I'm depressing", then it's easier for those thoughts to go away. (usually when your blood sugar goes up or something like that)
Movie theaters are huge space. Jets are a small space. And I don't have to be in a movie theater for 13 hours straight.
Learning to tell if an animal is in pain is most likely time-consuming and difficult because you would need a teacher who can either explain what signs to look for (codified/explicit knowledge) or knowing the answer (implicit learning/tacit knowledge).

Labelled datasets (tackling the problem of scarcity of examples to learn from) or a program (replacing teachers for rare skills) that could actually give feedback if the answer was correct (implicit learning!) would actually make it feasible to learn such a skill by removing these roadblocks.

That approach might work for a lot of different skills that require tacit knowledge about a topic.

Learning to more or less accurately guess someone's age is something I'd find interesting for example (more accurate than e.g. "in their thirties"). Idea here: watch an image or video of a person, enter a number and get feedback what the correct answer was. Repeat until you get it right most of the time.

But the feelings are just a symptom, they aren't the problem.

You can throw out stats that say it's not likely, but that won't cause me to really worry any less when I need to decide if I call the police on a loved one, or if I call the neighbor.

I honestly wish I didn't bring up the "hurt or killed" aspect of this, as that is always the thing that ends up devolving into internet fights. Worries of ending up with large medical bills from police interaction, or being charged with a small crime and losing your job, friends, house, etc... are much more worrisome in my opinion.

Regardless of how based in reality these feelings are, the police need to handle it. The solution isn't pulling out stats and saying "this isn't really an issue", because it clearly doesn't work.

Health insurance reform is so badly needed in this country, and the police need to work with the communities, they need to build trust, they need to show the community that they aren't dangerous, they need to show that they won't jump at any opportunity to charge someone with a crime.

I fully understand that asking police to go more lenient on arrests and charges when on a wellness call will end up with some possibly very bad people "getting away with it", and that asking police to put their guns down and even possibly disarm themselves in some situations will lead to officers getting injured or killed. But the arms race of everyone distrusting everyone else is going to end up with a much larger amount of harm in the long run.
> AirBnB is already very strict with landlords

It's not at all strict with landlords. Requiring hotel/b&b zoning would be being strict with landlords, say, and that's what many countries and municipalities now do, but AirBnB seems to generally have little interest in helping to enforce that.
I should be more nuanced in my wording around US hot button topics.

I was merely surprised that the proportion was so large and (that as a UK observer of this debate,) surprised I had not seen it before.

Keeping to the topic, I enjoyed Bourdains books and shows and am sorry to see him go. I hope the discussion here and elsewhere will focus on helping others in similar straits and not get diverted by comments ... such as mine.
That’s what we have done for teachers for decades.

I once completed an intense take-home machine learning test for Asana, and the process of getting feedback for my solution was one of the worst, most political experiences I've ever had while interviewing. I don't know if I got paired with a bad engineer or what, but it was a hugely bad outlier in terms of machine learning interviews.
The app also has a useful feature to launch the website with session tokens, so it keeps you logged in if you were logged into the app.

So if you know where the thing you're looking for is on the website, you can just launch the website and use that.

Super simple feature but it seems like for so many companies, if you go online, it redirects you to their mobile site which has been "phased out" and tells you to the get their app, which you have and would have used if it had the feature you needed.

For such a "post computer" world it seems ridiculous how often I throw my hands up and find my laptop when trying to complete an online chore from my mobile.
There are many developers on Apple systems that care about their exclusive Apple users, using macOS, iOS, tvOS and watchOS native APIs.

They really care about the UI/UX that they provide to their users and what graphical tooling and OS APIs can make their jobs easy.

Then there those using Apple computers as pretty GNU/Linux replacements, doing development work that should actually be done in a GNU/Linux distribution.

Developer is not only someone coding away UNIX CLI apps.

So we can toss in the blood diamond / African blood uranium comparison, 10% of American uranium comes from Africa.

But we also have the despotic nation of Russia, so by using uranium you're in some part enriching that anti-liberty mobocracy.

Interesting that this thread and the "chatbots aren't so great after all" thread hit the front page on the same day.

Anyone who actually thought people gave a shit about chatbots was either deluded, a chatbot API salesman, or a manager/owner trying to cut costs by downsizing their call/chat support center.

Anyone who actually thought the gig economy was helping anyone but business owners was either deluded or a shill.
> The data stolen was of a highly sensitive nature despite being housed on the contractor’s unclassified network.

Former government contractor here: Dumbasses need to keep their sensitive data air gapped and inside a SCIF.

If you need to network stuff, there are ways for contractors to implement NSA-approved "type 1" crypto with the appropriate personnel and infrastructure.

Also, I think whoever improperly classified that as not requiring SECRET level protections is going to have a hard time justifying it to their bosses.
I don't know much about the subject. How do we measure productivity? What units do we use?

I ask because it _feels_ like everything has changed since 1973 at least. So I'm curious where my intuition differs from reality.

It's a $3 trillion tax cut over 10 years. They get to $1B by finding an "offset" of $2 billion, which assumes a very optimistic growth estimate, which there was political push to develop. In particular, that offset assumes there is no bubble to pop.

Good luck to the US. The yearly budget is $3.8T. Of that, only $1B is discretionary. $3T of tax cuts is three years of the entire discretionary budget. The cut is huge. And that cut wasn't Keynesian stimulus - it came during a good economy. Good luck to the US.

I, for one, can count the number of times that talking to someone has helped my depression on 0 hands. That includes professionals.

I don't know how other people who've suffered depression most of their lives feel, but I can't stand this advice. It reeks of being the lowest effort possible by someone who has no understanding whatsoever of what they're talking about and prefers to just parrot something that sounds good to them. I'd honestly rather have people tell me they think I'm a weak pussy who should just suck it up, because at least their being open and honest about their lack of give-a-damn.
Call centers, accounting, and help desk and other things that used to take a small army are now a subscription service for far less money. The “efficiency” rating is probably wrong if it doesn’t think that’s increased efficiency.
You are trying to frame people's responses into a "Google good, Microsoft bad" response, and I do not think that is fair to them at all. They are disagreeing with your idea that Google is non-existent on the academic research front, and Microsoft is doing way more than them. And frankly, as someone in academia, this does not pass my smell test either.
My belief is that being able to not see stuff like that gives a much stronger sense of ownership of the device. It also removes you from an endless treadmill of software updates to something you don't use (some of which may even force you to restart your machine). Following someone's guide to perform hacks to remove something that the OS vendor clearly expects to always be there is both a hassle and likely to cause unforseen consequences in the future, so I don't really agree that the desire is actually solved by the existence of these guides.

Maybe productivity metrics aren't a perfect measure of society.

What is your source that Microsoft funds more CS research than the US Government? Let's ignore any DoE, DARPA, or NIH sources of funding, and just focus on the NSF. The computer science portion of their budget is almost one billion dollars.
The claim of a difference is 'slightly' exaggerated (~1%) However, the overall inflation data is quite interesting.

As always, rent seeking behavior is an issue (or a good investment area).

Getting smarter is getting more difficult (or at least more costly) and unfortunately compounds. If you are already educated and ahead, you don't have to pay those costs, and you have a higher vantage point from which to choose opportunities (like charging other people rent).

Not sure if I believe food - or else probably has a huge amount of spread within it. Some food has dramatically risen, others not (tuna - high, bread - low). Noisiness of food line probably reflects this. An unlikely friend in bulk negotiators like Walmart / Kroger / Amazon. "-> Tyson, Coke, Gen. Mills, keep your prices low."

Transportation is opportunity. Don't like where you are? Leave. Potential foraging range - up. Go live in India, where food is $4 a day, and rent is $100-200. Course, this helps baby boomers too. Retire in Kathmandu, Tangier, Santiago. Lots of money just goes further.
Productivity has been stagnant, or productivity growth has been stagnant?

Constant productivity growth is a terrible argument that computers haven't contributed to productivity. No single innovation, however broadly defined, will produce constant growth. As one source of growth peters out, another one picks up.

For us (Dependabot) the best advice I ever got was that your initial customers should come from sales, not marketing, even for a really low-price SaaS product. I was literally giving Dependabot away for the first 6 months of its existence, but I was still doing concierge sales on it.

When you sell to customers directly you get to hear their reactions and get a much better sense of what's valuable to them. You also make yourself more approachable if/when they've got feedback down the line. Finally, you get a predictable return to your effort (even if it's low!), which prevents the kind of boom and bust that can burn you out in the early days.

I'd really, really highly recommend anyone else looking to start a B2B business take the same approach, even if your product is way too cheap for sales to be scalable.
I don't disagree with any of that. Honestly, with modern lie-flat seating (much less Emirates-class luxury) and communication/entertainment options, long-haul flights are still sort of boring but they're comfortable enough to a degree that they weren't when the Concorde was flying. I actually find them a good opportunity to catch up on reading books and watching some movies.

Even if one of these supersonic startups get off the ground (sorry), I expect they'll be in the province of CEOs and investment bankers billing by the hour hopping over to London to close a deal. It's hard to see the economics working for just about anyone else.
> it's lack of supply of high density apartment living options.

Devil's Advocate: I'd agree that AirBnB isn't entirely to blame, but a large company helping your town's citizen rezone their long-term residential units into short-term residential units and not telling the town isn't going to help the zoning board make correct decisions.

Japan has made a good decision to at least butt themselves into the process.

the issues with amp arent that its not closed source, the issues with amp is that:

1) you either use amp or you lose out massively in google search rank (as in the links that appear at the top of the page, regaurdless of what semantic games you want to identify them with)

2) by using amp, you hand over all your search traffic to google.

No amount of "shut up and code" is going to fix this, because it is a business decision by Google, not a technical decision that they are going to entertain arguements about.

The open source aspect is a total smokescreen.
That's not really surprising at all. The article says the category of workers in "gig" type of jobs went from 11% in 2005 to 10% in 2017. To change this number above some level of statistical significance, people would have to move away from salaried work to gig jobs en masse or vice-versa, but that's not really how skillsets and careers work.

You don't wake up one day and say: "geez, I'm going to stop being a lawyer and go drive for Uber to spend more time with my kids". It is much more likely that a person flipping burgers somewhere might try being an Uber driver and that an Uber driver somewhere else might get fed up and end up going back to one of the low-skill alternatives (flipping burgers, retail, etc) at roughly equal rates.

You're assuming the market is uncompetative. A lot of islanders also drive for Lyft.

Also, Uber wants to maximize profits. There are no profits when riders can't pay. They have an incentive to ensure they aren't pricing riders out of the market or driving them to competitors.
It's dependent upon which officer is dispatched. Some, perhaps many, especially those who are more experienced and intelligent, and have been trained in mental health crisis intervention, will be helpful. Others who are inexperienced or not trained will just want to handcuff the person and throw them in an ambulance by any means necessary.

Most cops will want to help a suicidal person. The ones who handle it badly make the headlines and the viral internet stories.

The other problem is that "the system" is not really set up to help people who are suicidal to the point that the police are called. They will be sent to the psych ward at the nearest public hospital for evaluation, where they will be seen by overworked staff who know nothing about the person's history. Especially if they have no means to pay, they will be discharged as soon as possible and there will be little followup.
This is nonsense. The inflation-adjusted cost of producing one can of beer would be a pretty standard measure of productivity (in the beer industry). It can rise and fall completely independently of whether beer companies all use the same strategies or all use unique strategies.

For a tech product, look no further than where you are right now. HN has been one of the best sources of users for EnvKey[1], a developer-focused configuration and secrets manager. While HN has a reputation for toughness, it's also full of early adopters who will give you great feedback and be understanding as you figure things out.

And don't be afraid to play small ball. Of course it's amazing to get on the front page of HN, PH, big subreddits, etc., but it's also hit-or-miss and subject to the whims of the hivemind. Posting comments in relevant threads is slower, but it can drive a surprising amount of traffic over time, and the conversion rates will often be much higher than a 'featured' placement.

Of course, you need to take care that you're adding something to the discussion and not just advertising. Basically, your comment should be able to stand on its own as something valuable without any mention of your product, but make people curious about what you're doing, so that by the time they get to your link, they actually want to click it and learn more.

Another tip: if you have a product that has sdks for various languages, integrations with other platforms, etc., treat each one as a mini-launch to that community. It's often much easier to get attention with "here's a cool new thing for Elixir" vs. "here's something for everyone".

JSON performance is super important for a server, far more than for the usual macOS or iOS clients. JSON parsing might be based on the basic JSON parser found in Swift, which isn't fast at all, rather easy to use and secure instead.

It's not super up-to-date but you can see there's definitely some competition even on Swift level in terms of JSON performance.

Swift JSON encoding/decoding should approach C/C++ levels of performance when optimized for speed.
That's being debated in the privacy community as "consent-or-pay." The short answer is that we don't actually know. There are arguments on each side, and I tend to think (a) the plain reading of the law suggests no and (b) for a number of reasons, regulators will probably decide to rule that it's okay, but the reasoning that gets me there is pretty complicated.
Thank you, and I*m sorry you have had to experience something simlar.

I'm personally doing well. A good amount of time has passed since then (15-16 years), so lots of positive life changes and healing and stuff.

Not so sure about the ex, in part because I lost contact with him some years ago and in part because his suicide attempt was caused by major mental illness. He was on disability last I knew and I was pretty sure he still suffers. But it also wasn't a situation I could stay in. His mental illness kept me there longer than I might have done otherwise, honestly.

I hope everyone involved in your situtation has fared well.
