Strong second for Hero Kids: it's a surprisingly robust grid-maps-and-dice-rolling system where most of the character/world details are contained on printable cards. It's great for quick-and-dirty dungeon crawls without having too many rules up-front, and it's got extra rules which can be optionally included depending on the level of sophistication of the players. (e.g. you don't need to include rules for the equivalent of charisma checks to begin with, but can easily include them in later adventures as the players get more comfortable with the system.)

If you're looking for something more "storytelling-focused" rather than dungeon-crawls-and-monster-fighting, there's another good child-focused tabletop game called The Princes' Kingdom by Clinton R. Nixon, which in turn is a hack of Dogs in the Vineyard by Vincent Baker. It's about the young rulers of an island kingdom travelling around from island to island and solving their citizens' problems, and has a really interesting conflict resolution system it borrows from Dogs which involves rolling a bunch of dice up-front and then using the rolled as resources in a back-and-forth conflict: https://www.rpg.net/reviews/archive/12/12593.phtml
> Tor speed is not is your control. Your hardware is in your control. As a "speed freak", I find it amusing that Disconnect would be slow for you. Interesting to see that a "speed freak" is running slow hardware.

I'm not on slow hardware; you just seem to prefer to just quickly make naive assumptions. First of all, the system naturally clocks down on battery, so I'm not always running at max GHz. Second, I'm not pulling this out of my rear -- I actually sat down in 2014 and measured in detail how much each of my extensions slowed the loading of Gmail, and I even still have the records. AdBlock slowed it down by 1.8 seconds; Disconnect slowed it down by 0.7 seconds (IIRC this was on AC power but I didn't record that part). I found both of these ridiculously unacceptable. Now, I've upgraded my laptop since, and so in response to this discussion right now I just did another quick test on Gmail on my current system (which I can again assure you is not slow hardware). On AC power, Disconnect still adds 120ms. On battery, it adds 400ms. Still neither of which I find acceptable (this is my email I'm talking about, not cat videos), though it's definitely better. Feel free to spend some time doing your own measurements and report them here if you have disputes.
Maybe you're willing to pay more. Most people probably aren't. (FiOS uptake rates are under 40% even though its always been much faster than competing cable services.) And the brutal economics of fiber really punish you for that. If your uptake rate goes from 50% to 33%, your per-subscriber costs have to go up to compensate (which puts even more downward pressure on your uptake rate).
I haven't looked too much into the differences, but I suspect DE since it seems to support Linux better.
Surprised at how high Canada is when you factor in its population is only 4x NYC.
Does it really matter if there are comms closets nearby though?

It wouldn't surprise me if fiber optic cable was cheaper than cat6 to buy in bulk (Copper is expensive, and the process to manufacture the copper cables is more complex), and if you're doing fiber to the building anyway, you still end up with a media converter - so there is likely no significant cost saving there either.

It may actually be higher cost to have a centralised (within the building) media converter - ports need to be provisioned for the max possible customers up front. The class of hardware will likely be different too - matching enterprise style datacenter hardware, instead of the cheap and easy to replace stuff they send to customers...
Completely agree. These scum definitely need to go to jail, to send fair warning to would-be scammers that it's simply not worth the risk.

So? Murderers and kidnappers will benefit from being able to access their victims phone - after all the phone was already weakened to support such access.

Also: murderers and kidnappers don’t have to use broken cryptography. So again the only people who are harmed are people who aren’t criminals.

Also the statement from the Indiana police is extremely vague, and doesn’t make any details available about what they were doing.

This won't have anything like the capacity of a train line.

Even if they do get their quoted 30 second headways and manage to cram 16 people into a car, and they run 20 hours a day like they're claiming, that's only 38,400 trips per day. Realistically it would probably more like a third of that. The Red Line alone averages 250,000 trips per day.
I don't know about formal research, but there's definitely a track history of membrane keyboards and other such "advances" that kill the physical feedback becoming miserable market failures. Given Apple's usual attention to detail about the importance of such tactile feedback, I can't imagine them going to a system that rejects it. Moreover, we're not seeing non-Apple PC vendors moving in that direction too, even though it's hardly expensive or technically difficult these days.

To the extend that tactile feedback is important for efficient typing, I imagine keyboard design for laptops is a tradeoff between good feel, durability, and making the mechanism as lightweight and shallow as possible. I'm typing this on a recent-model Thinkpad, and the key throw is about 2mm, substantially less than a high-feedback clicky-key type keyboard.
Competent managers reward based on business value generation, not hard work. In a typical tech company, segregating employees into two different classes of office space would lead to excessive internal competition and office politics which kills morale and inhibits teamwork.

I'm not exactly sure which "issues" the OP is talking about, but one of the biggest issues isn't just "getting used to" the new keyboard, but the fact that the new keyboard breaks so easily and then costs so much to replace. At that point it doesn't matter how much you like the new style of keyboard, because if your S key is broken, the keyboard is practically unusable.

I have a v2 butterfly keyboard and I actually do prefer the tactile feel over older MacBooks, but the fact that a single piece of hair/dust has broken my keyboard is really unacceptable and something I definitely would like to see addressed.

The glued-in battery (not endemic to Apple) genuinely wears down and forces people to upgrade. Not in 2-3 years, though.
A lot of comments here are using word like "promotion", starting at the "bottom", powers reserved for "higher ups", etc. following the standard framing of hierarchy as a vertical pyramid, which I think possibly encourages the view of promotion as status.

My favourite reframing of team hierarchy is to change the language to make it horizontal or fully inverted.

In the horizontal case, promotion might be 'stepping back a rank to help co-ordinate'.

In the inverted case, promotion might be 'stepping down into a supporting role' (although that particular language bumps into confusing euphamisms left over by the pyramid framing).

I'm sure some better language can be found but you get the idea.
That would be rather inconvenient here, as you would return to the root shell and find it unresponsive to input.

My ideal calendar has 12 30 day months, days 0 to 29.

If it's 10th June and you have an appointment for 0 August, that's 50 days from now.

At the end of the year, a 5 or 6 day 'month' called Holiday. 30th December becomes Christmas Day (observed) and 0 January is still New Years. New Years Eve is either 5 or 6 Holiday.

6 Holiday would be a lot of fun. ^_^

The current belief is that constantly engaging with our smartphones has damaged our lives. We're unable to focus because we allow constant interruptions and we habitually check our phones instead of being present.

The current trend is to do away with these distractions and allow people to focus.

That is better than nothing; really you should have a relationship with your PCP, I think I did have a 15 minute exam when I got an SSRI prescription, but I had seen that doc for three years and had talked about SSRIs for a while. I chose to take them because I know my life was about to get turned upside down and wanted to be proactive about dealing with it.

The main SSRI counterindication is that people with psychosis, bipolar, schizophrenia, and schizoaffective disorder are likely to get worse (manic) with SSRI treatment. A GP can screen for this and be right most of the time.

Unfortunately this is a disease like Diabetes that gets progressively worse, treatment with antipsychotic drugs might slow this. Psychotics tend to hate antipsychotic drugs and putting that together with it being almost impossible to force people take them many people don't get treated. They shouldn't get a script from a GP, they should see a psychiatrist.

The key to SSRI success is not the length of the first appointment, but the followup. You should have at least one and maybe several followup appointments to adjust dosage, medication, also consider a psych referral.
I am curious how many of them are first generation emmigrants.

To be fair though, in this case the results are still the same when correcting for the methodological errors that happened in the study.

From TFA:

> It turns out approximately 14 percent of the more than 7,400 study participants hadn't been assigned randomly to either the Mediterranean diet or a low-fat one. When couples joined the study together, both had been picked to follow the same diet. At one of the 11 participating study sites, the lead investigator had assigned the same diet to an entire village and didn't tell the rest of the investigators.

> "This affected only a small part of the trial," says Martínez González. When the researchers reanalyzed the data excluding the nonrandomized people, the results were the same, he adds.

> Still, because everybody wasn't randomly assigned to different groups, the study can no longer claim the diet directly caused those health benefits. "We need to tone down the results, but it is just a little bit," he says.

> Many other studies have shown that people eating the Mediterranean diet have lower risks of various ailments, without claiming cause and effect.

In this case, since it wasn't fully random, they weakened their claim to remove the cause-effect link, instead of p hacking as you mentioned.
Who knows? Nobody knows outside of Apple.

My best guess would be that maybe by sometime late next year at the earliest they will have redesigned the keyboard, but it could easily be 2020 or later, or maybe never. It's also possible the next version won't be an improvement, as many learned when the 2012-2015 MacBook Pro was getting long in the tooth, and the 2016-???? replacement arrived to replace it.

In the meantime, you can do what many of us did: upgrade to a three year old 2015 MacBook Pro, it has many useful ports, MagSafe, an escape key, function keys, a working keyboard, etc, it's an improvement in every possible way except that the enclosure is a little bit thicker.

Or you can do what many of my other colleagues are doing and get a Lenovo as they migrate back to Linux/Windows.
When you say it that way, it sounds impressive, but the population is ~11% of the US (36/320), so it seems reasonable they have ~11% the output of the US (90/770).
Foreign powers aren’t the only problem. Leaked keys, domestic powers, small town corrupt sheriffs, corrupt US Presidents, are also problems. You think you have managed in 30 seconds to overturn the thinking of the entire credible security community.

Let’s hear your approach then. Don’t be coy.
If anyone knows apple the way that I do. The answer is yes and no. Yes they will address it when it affects their bottom line. No, because they don't consider it an issue to begin with. I'm old enough to remember when they had the logic board issue and specifically gave us (Apple care reps) instructions to not mention it to the customer. So if you called with an unrelated issue, I wasn't allowed to tell you about the recall to replace your logicboard that had an 80% failure rate. Or that the reason the system wasn't booting up was possible the logic board issue.

I don't think a company that knowingly ships a bad product, then, either dodges responsibility. Or puts the onus on the consumer will actually do anything right by the consumer with this keyboard issue. As if it's the consumers fault for buying a shitty product.
I'll disagree with you that we have vendors to blame. Vendors are trying to give users new features and support existing applications. The way new features get added to ANSI SQL is primarily by those features being adopted by multiple vendors and then one vendor's implementation (usually Oracle's) is selected as the standard.

You also have to keep in mind that ANSI SQL is a pure relational language. It's artificial in many senses. There are essentially no details of implementation in ANSI SQL. These implementation details include everything from a modular database engine like MySQL, multiple index algorithms or clustering options like PostgreSQL, deep features like external procedural languages extensions, and so on. None of these type of features are considered by the standards body. It's entirely left up to the vendors to create them. Well, a lot of features like these end up becoming standardized precisely because they become popular ways to solve problems. Statements like BACKUP DATABASE and RESTORE DATABASE are not a consideration of standard SQL because that is considered an implementation detail. Point in time recovery and log file handling are all different.

Other features like string aggregation, JSON and XML support, etc. all began as vendor extensions before they were standardized. Yes, sometimes the standard will create a new extension that no vendor supports or only minimally supports like the new MATCH_RECOGNIZE() expression. But for the most part it's the standard that lags behind and takes cues from the vendors.

Even then, the results of standard SQL sometimes are not adopted by vendors because nobody needs the features the standards body invents. Indeed, the standards body has sometimes standardized what would later be identified as bad practices. Elements like NATURAL JOIN or KEY JOIN (I think that's in the standard) are considered bad design since they result in ambiguous column joining when you start adding multiple tables or modifying the schema.

This is basically the exact same issue as XHTML vs HTML5 and browser vendors. It's not quite as bad since there's no W3C vs WHATWG political garbage (I can't imagine how bad it'd be if ANSI and ISO didn't cooperate) but it's the same kind of thing. Vendors are in competition and want to provide features that developers need. They're not going to wait for the ISO joint technical committee to decide what to do.
HTTP/2 would still be great for upstreams to ensure HTTPS and make things much more efficient via compression and multiplexing. It makes a difference in higher-scale situations.
Dust or debris can get under the keys and cause them to fail. There are also complaints that some keys don't register as well as others, and that some keys have a different feel than others (in terms of sponginess, etc.)
Can you Hackintosh it? Like ZenBook? Meaning you can run Linux, Windows 7/10 and macOS on the same comp without any compromises?
Why would you make such assumptions?

On Unix systems there is one and only one byte value that cannot appear in a directory or file name: ASCII '/'. Note that I say "byte value": the kernel and the filesystem driver have NO idea what local you're using in user-land, and they don't care.

On Windows both '/' and '\' cannot appear, though as we can see here, ':' and others are problematic...

In shell scripts you really have to quote every damned string. I really wish that instead of by default splitting words on $IFS and interpreting glob and other shell special characters, the default was that $varname has no such handling performed, and instead if you wish for this you'd have to write ${varname*} or something like that.
> The executives at Blockbuster had skin in the game, they were experts, they got their asses kicked. Last election the Democrats had skin in the game, they were experts, they got their asses kicked. Recently the institutional Tesla shorts had skin in the game, they are experts, they got their asses kicked. So what does having skin in the game have to do with anything? Not much.

None of these examples show skin in the game. Executives at Blockbuster were almost all certainly wealthy prior to its demise, and its failure probably didn't affect their future earnings potential/job prospects. Institutional investors (non hedge fund) by definition have no skin in the game. Even by posting disappointing returns, a lot of their compensation is tied to a management fee, with future job prospects being lightly tied to prior returns.

My argument is that all experts should be looked at skeptically. Without the proper incentives/punishments for incorrect predictions, it doesn't matter to said expert whether they are right or wrong. Even with the "closed system" experts, mistakes are made. In the article, the author talks about car engines as a closed system. So why have there been so many car recalls?

Obviously expecting experts to be correct every single time is foolish, but my point is that for the most part, because the disincentive for an incorrect prediction is not proportional to the weight of the prediction, most expert claims should be taken skeptically.
I'd go with 99% no.
Thanks, I'll have a good look.
I just received an email from them touting the ease with which I can rent space from them (free for some introductory period) for the meetup I run. The problem is that many (most, I'm guessing) meetups are funded by an individual. Unless their space is drastically less expensive than a lot of the alternatives I found when trying to find a space for my meetup, nobody is going to be able to afford to use their space.
If you just want to get them used to rolling dice I'd suggest Button Men, a very short game of fighting.
