As a native to boulder I don't want them to. Nothing predicates you should have to live in boulder, or that the town has to be built up. Thats just a temporary solution, boulder has worked hard to keep the town nice and I appreciate that. They have done a lot of work to provide low income housing but it's a difficult task and we should continue to work on this. The workforce should be negotiating their salaries to compensate, and we should improve transportation for the surrounding areas.
Losing the Nobel Prize: on careers in science
It's always interesting how something monopoly-like makes companies lazy.

I am a cs-student with 3 1/2 year old a machbook pro, which I bought when I started my studies. I must say that I am still very, very satisfied, it's holding up great. Great display, suprsingly good battery life etc.

If something happens to my macbook, i would probalby spend a serious percentage of my savings saving on a new laptop. It's a very imporant part of my life, i do most of my work with it and I highly value the flexibility.

In this hypthetical scenario, i would really like to buy a new macbook and would probably go through a lot of financial pain if they took their line-up seriously. But it's really getting ridiculus.

I really don't understand why they fail so hard to update their hardware.
Being objective is a real thing. The poster pointed out, that women on stack overflow were complaining about being sexually harassed. Then the poster pointed out, there was no way to know if the person was a woman or not at the time. So objectively, it was impossible for somebody to sexually harass them if the variable of their sex was not known. The poster wanted to know how something like this can happen. I posted, in reply, that there this is a real concept in psychology, that this situation is known about, and linked to a wikipedia article that briefly covered the subject.

What you did was take what I said, and applied to generally to the original posting -- and took my words out of context. You then projected your own narcissistic thoughts onto me as a way to shame me for something out of context. I don't appreciate this and I will call out this type of thinking everytime I see it. You seem to have a high intelligence so I am hoping you see this as a blessing and reflect on what I am saying. Being objective is a learned discipline that not everyone has. Not everyone can do it, and, objectively, nobody is 100% objective. But that doesn't mean we can strive in our communication to try being so the best we can. Don't take my words out of context and try to shame me, it won't work.

Try turning it over to non-technical people.

If you want dead simple, consistently styled content to be written by non-technical folks, Markdown is much better IMHO.

Any system can work, depending on the kids' level of interest in math, and the willingness to fiddle with things as the GM. Most RPG system math is basic addition/subtraction and really applies to most age groups.

The best system is really some combination of: A) what setting do you think they will enjoy? B) what would you most enjoy running for them? C) given the huge variety in systems, what style of gaming are you aiming for? ("Crunch heavy" versus storytelling-focused, simulationist versus abstractionist, etc)

Some other ideas to throw into the pot of interesting starter systems:

Mice & Mystics is a self-contained boardgame version of an RPG with cool miniatures and an interesting story. Compares to the Descent boardgame mentioned by someone else, but with a stranger setting. (Mice adventurers battling roaches and cats, etc.) (https://www.plaidhatgames.com/games/mice-and-mystics)

Do: Pilgrims of the Flying Temple can be a gentle introduction to shared storytelling (and encourage some writing skills work): https://www.evilhat.com/home/do-pilgrims-of-the-flying-templ...

Fiasco is a great rules-light storytelling game, that can be adapted to a younger audience (most of the playsets are relatively mature, given the basis in Coen Brothers cozy fiasco movies). (http://bullypulpitgames.com/games/fiasco/)

QAGS is a very simple system (single D20 for each player and a bag of candy for the GM): http://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/28315/QAGS-Second-Editio...

The Basic Roleplaying System is what it says on the tin (d100/2d10 percentile roles) and you can describe the system on a cocktail napkin almost. There's a ton of content already tuned for it, especially if you have interest in Lovecraftian settings.

I've been told that the Pip System of Third Eye Games was designed with young players in mind and built to scale up with player age/attention/interest. https://thirdeyegames.net/

Savage Worlds is the most "crunchy" system I would typically recommend, and there are a number of good settings. It's goal is "Fast. Fun. Furious.", and it has a pretty good ramp from very simple system rules to some more complex ones as Settings/Scenarios warrant them: https://www.peginc.com/product-category/savage-worlds/

A current infatuation of mine from a systems design standpoint (it is closest in spirit to an unfinished design of my own I've been meaning to finish) is CAPERS. It currently only has one setting (1920s "gangster" superheroes), but a unique, easy-to-learn system (press-your-luck playing card flipping): http://www.nerdburgergames.com/capers/

> And putting aside the fundraising that accompanied the creation of Ether, based on my understanding of the present state of Ether, the Ethereum network and its decentralized structure, current offers and sales of Ether are not securities transactions. And, as with Bitcoin, applying the disclosure regime of the federal securities laws to current transactions in Ether would seem to add little value. Over time, there may be other sufficiently decentralized networks and systems where regulating the tokens or coins that function on them as securities may not be required. And of course there will continue to be systems that rely on central actors whose efforts are a key to the success of the enterprise. In those cases, application of the securities laws protects the investors who purchase the tokens or coins.
A ledger is not a security but a ledger can be used to manage securities.
Ganja is a significant part of many Yoga traditions.

I have a good friend who was introduced to its use in this context.

The lineage he was exposed to uses the enhanced attention in very specific way. No yoga teacher or class I’ve ever experienced has ever hinted to these techniques which makes me think they are not known outside of this lineage.

With that being said, one can always explore yoga practice in the presence of sativas, with attention toward the body and slowing down everything.

A typical augmented yoga session is 6+ hours.

Same, except with Personal Capital (I prefer the interface).

I believe the security tradeoff of granting access to my accounts is worth the financial visibility; without it, it would be a lot harder to review my spending, find any unusual transactions and think about future goals.

YNAB is pretty great. I allow it sync transactions from my bank accounts, but its budgeting system works fine if you're willing to enter transactions in manually.

It is a refined form of envelope budgeting, and allowed me to go from an engineer that made a lot of money, but spent willy-nilly to an engineer that knows what's up, and with a rising net worth.

I like that it encourages you to look at the money you actually have and allocate it to what it needs to do ("Rent", "Savings for christmas gifts", "Car replacement", "Efund"...), as opposed to forward looking budgets that are just guesses about what you want to spend going forward.
That would be weird if "su -c" was vulnerable but interactive "su" was not. The former is much easier to fix.

In fact, "su" in Debian (which the subject of the submitted article), calls setsid() when you use -c, which defeats TIOCSTI.
They don't update their hardware because of the reasons you stated in your post. People love Macs and would buy them regardless of hardware.

You missed the point here. This is a marriage of two existing formats: Markdown, which you probably know, and HAML, a templating language that was popular with Rails and Sinatra for a while (less so these days, I think).

HAML uses CSS-like syntax to allow you to write HTML more succinctly: %div.foo.bar means <div class="foo bar">, for example. It has tons of short of concise syntax to make it a more pleasant alternative to HTML. It uses whitespace-sensitive indentation, like Python, so no end tags.

This isn't reinventing the font tag. It's an alternative to putting HTML in Markdown, which many people do because Markdown is very limited. Sometimes you need to insert something that isn't supported.

Not saying this is good, just explaining how your criticism doesn't apply.
> As for empty lines within code, I personally find it helpful to visually separate logical segments.

I see it as, if a function is like a paragraph, then the whitespace between lines deliminates sentences. I very much dislike run on sentences that are attempting to explain complex rules/topics in english and in code. Spatial grouping is very natural for the eyes and mind.
Sad fact is that Mac sales are now 10% of Apples revenue. I think the only reason Macs receive any attention at all within Apple is because you need Macs to build iphone/ipad apps. Another way of framing this is - how much effort do you put on the bottom 10 percent of your TODO list.
Can we please change the title to "SEC Director of Corporation Finance thinks Ethereum is not a security" or something along those lines? Because it is not SEC's view that Ethereum is not a security but someone working there.

I use Personal Capital and really think it's a great piece of software. If you're worried about a cloud solution that has access to your financials, you might as well use a spreadsheet.

It looks like the total amount of estimated ice in Antarctica is something like 30,000,000 cubic kilometers, give or take. In comparison, the amount of ice being lost here probably doesn't even amount to rounding error; it's more like just noise. (Someone else here has calculated a value of about 0.01%, but I don't know how accurate that is.)

That's a common theme with such reports these days, BTW. The numbers quoted can be scary at first, but looking at the bigger picture they often turn out to fall into the margin-of-error/statistical-noise range - a bit disconcerting, maybe, but not something to get too worked up about.

What's more interesting to me is usually what's left out of such reports. For example, there are claims that while ice may be melting around the edges of Antarctica (at least in certain parts of it), a lot of that may just end back up as snow in the interior instead of actually staying in the ocean. And while "warming waters" might be caused by climate change, they might also be due to geothermal activity in and around Antarctica - undersea thermal vents and such. The continent itself should have about the same level of volcanic and geothermal activity that any other continent typically has, which of course ebbs and flows, but it's generally hidden from view under all that ice.
Key points regarding Ether:

>And putting aside the fundraising that accompanied the creation of Ether, based on my understanding of the present state of Ether, the Ethereum network and its decentralized structure, current offers and sales of Ether are not securities transactions.

>I would like to emphasize that the analysis of whether something is a security is not static and does not strictly inhere to the instrument.[10] Even digital assets with utility that function solely as a means of exchange in a decentralized network could be packaged and sold as an investment strategy that can be a security. If a promoter were to place Bitcoin [or Ether] in a fund or trust and sell interests, it would create a new security.

Recommend changing the title to Bitcoin/Ether, but even that is a serious simplification; more like: "Sales of Ether/Bitcoin are not inherently securities transactions"
I work full time for an IT company that supports Apple products and we are in the same position. Its hard for us to recommend upgrades unless there is an hardware failure that's beyond the replacement cost. I still rock a 2012 MBP that has RAM, HDD, ODD, and ports. It can be service by removing 8 screws. IMHO it is the peak Apple Laptop. After 2012 they started being anti-consumer, anti-repair in laptop design.

It's doubly frustrating, because Intel does basically all the work for them (even designing some of their NUCs to match a Mac Mini size and power/thermal limits). Apple could just ride the Intel product roadmap each year, with very little effort, and people would be happy enough.

But Apple can't be bothered to do even that.

---

In comparison, Intel basically made a "Mac Mini Pro" called the Hades Canyon NUC. Which is roughly the same price as a high-end Mac Mini, but has 2x-6x the compute power (depending on how you'd like to measure it). https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/products/boards-kits...
This reminded me of Steve Jobs' comparison of the Mac to trucks. Not everyone has a truck but a lot of people need them to do their job. As more and more people move to mainly using mobile devices (including tablets) for the majority of their computing needs I think the truck (i.e. mac) business will continue to be slow and plodding. Developers are the only people Apple really needs to make Macs for and that's a pretty small market in the grand scheme. Creatives doing photography, 3D, video, etc. have long left for other platforms. I don't expect things to get much better.
I'm still using a 2011 MBP, and I'm quite satisfied. I've replaced the battery, upgraded the RAM, upgraded the HD, and replaced the HD cable, but it's still sufficient for my needs (heavy compute gets done on remote servers anyway).

I'm on Linux though, so given recent fails and the general trend towards non-repairability and non-upgradeability, there's very little incentive for me to consider Apple hardware when I eventually upgrade.
I have used FIOS for the last 5 years. For a while they where throttling Netflix just like the Cable companies, so better sure but they also wanted to kill net neutrality just like the cable companies.

As to TV, you spread the network costs over both internet AND cable TV and should include a portion of TV/equipment rental revenue when calculating payback periods. Cord cutters are significant, but many people still want cable TV channels and rent DVR's.
That's not what Tachyons is. The people who made it and those who advocate Functional CSS (Tachyons, Tailwind, Atomic CSS etc.) have a clear idea what HTML < 5 used to be, what inline css is, why BEM and SMACSS exist, what js-in-css is, and in general know what they're doing.

I'm saying that to help apply a principle of charity when evaluating this idea that on first blush looks like insanity. But there is something in there.

Note he didn't fund it himself, the US Government gave him $30K:

In March 1843, the US Congress appropriated $30,000 to Samuel Morse to lay a telegraph line from Washington, D.C. to Baltimore, Maryland, along the right-of-way of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad.

$30K in 1843 was around $1M in today's money. I wonder if that $30K paid for the whole project or if Morse had to kick in some of his own.

Without environmental and employee protection laws, or permitting concerns, maybe it would be doable for under $1M today. Since copper is so expensive, I thought the cost of wire would dominate the expenses, but 5000 ft of uninsulated 16 gauge wire sells for $400 on ebay, so 45 miles worth of a pair of wires would cost around $40K
Air resistance is greater in smaller tunnels though, and aerodynamic drag is the most significant factor on speed when considering underground high-speed trains. This is one of the reasons for building tunnels significantly larger than the size of the train.

Built an ad-hoc system using flask, Google Spreadsheets, and Twilio (where I work) that my wife and I have been using for 18 months now -- far longer than any other system has stuck.

- budget tab: tracks category + allocated budget for the month

- expenses tab: tracks date, amount, category, description

- when we spend money, my wife and I text, eg, "13.31 restaurants lunch at chipotle" to a Twilio number. A flask app splits the body of the SMS expecting "X.XX category description", and uses the Google spreadsheets API to add the row to the expenses tab. (Yes, we manually enter every expense, either via SMS or via the spreadsheet. This was a habit we picked up the old YNAB. We could automate this to some extent, but the discipline of having to do something when we spend money has been beneficial).

- I get a confirmation text. My wife gets a text saying "Greg spent $13 on Chipotle. We have $132 left in the lunch category this month."

- Texting "report" to the number kicks back a text with each category and the amount remaining this month.

It's an imperfect system. Some small dollar stuff gets missed. But it's super flexible for reporting since its just a spreadsheet. Because I built it, I actually use it. The confirmation texts have instilled a bit of accountability between the two of us and also serve as a nice reminder during the day of what the other person is doing. ("Hey! Thanks for logging your lunch. How was it?")

Been meaning to write a blog post about it for a while. Will do so if there's interest.
The Skull Canyon NUC is exactly what I'm thinking of. A MacOS version of that would be really great and like you say, seems fairly 'easy' for Apple to do seeing as Intel is doing so much with the form factor anyway.
I used to think the mac mini was a better alternative when you could upgrade its memory.

Now I think is better wait for the next generation.

I'm really thinking in buying an mac for home use, and remote compiling with xamarin in the next year or so.

But it will depend of this next generation.
