Ok... I'll bite. This feel good article doesn't do justice to relationship issues at all. A lot of relationship issues simply arise from compromises that have been done in past. May be woman is desperate in finding husband and man is realizing he is getting out of options. Both gets married despite knowing incompatibilities here and there. People tell them "opposite attracts". Ummm... no. There is of course honeymoon period and then eventually kids enter in life. Suddenly woman doesn't feel need to make man happy as much and man is realizing his role being transformed to essentially a bank account. Things start falling apart and there is no right thing to fix this. Sure, kindness/generosity etc helps on both sides but the fundamental root cause is folks ending up together due to short term biological reproduction needs that then invariably gets extended as kids enter in their lives. It's not a coincidence that lot of marriages fall apart when kids are between 8 to 12 years old. That's the time kids are becoming independent, women gets more time to do job and run household according to her desires all the while man starts to understand that there is very little left for them to be in. Some better educated couples would hold off until kids go to college and there is spike in divorce rate when kids graduate from high school.
>>Another reason is that managers are multipliers.

There is no any such reason.

Current day managerial jobs descend directly from days of feudalism and aristocracy. Where the master had to be richer than the slaves to enforce his rule over the serfs.

All the best having a underpaid manager exercising control over overpaid ICs, it doesn't start, let alone work well. In short this is social sanction.

The reality is any set up which require a pyramid to exist, there will be pay grades, people down the pyramids will be paid no matter what miracles they will pull off. And people at the top will maintain political control to further their interests.

That is all there is to it. If we evaluated these 'managers' on merit. Then even being called a supervisor would be a lot for these glorified email routers and table fillers.

Can you please provide more examples of Slavic literature? I am only aware of Russian authors. Any idea if the english translation of Witcher by Danusia Stok is good? I am very curious about Slavic culture and recently blogged about "Slavs"[1], I would love to add a literature section to my post.

If you can build the backend, then you wouldn't have much trouble getting familiar with basic ios and android development. So, really, just start. Build one feature and iterate. There's so much about your app that you don't know yet, and you will discover more and more with each step. Your problem is not the lack of a potential cofounder, that may come in time. Your problem is in thinking that you need a cofounder to build the first iteration of a mobile application. With all due respect, you're asking the wrong question(s).
According to every article linked in this sub thread, (a) telemetry is opt out (not in) and (b) you cannot opt out completely, only partially; since telemetry is not actually required to provide service, that would be a GDPR violation, and if it is - I expect someone will take Microsoft to the cleaners over it. (As well as google for android’s data collection)
> Have you ever actually laundered dirty money?

No. My knowledge comes from anti-money laundering training.

Depending on how fast one needs to move, money laundering fees go from 5% to 30%. Bitcoin is cheaper than that per se. But include the costs of anonymising and cleanly cash out, and you're just adding cost and risk over a wire transfer between fronts.

That's not my argument, and I can see how it got misunderstood: mean to reply to the grandparent comment, which was comparing the responsiveness of a desktop app where all required resources are installed and locally available, to that of a web application.
Whatever you build it with, if the data has to come down "through the wire" then you will wait..
Thanks! I've been playing with science education content around temperature. 'The universe was once as bright hot as the Sun, but it's been expanding, and is now dark cold. So very cold. The Sun is still bright hot. So very hot. In between, the Earth spins, mixing too hot and too cold. The atmosphere shades us from the hot Sun, and insulates us from the dark cold. Ground and water [buffer the night]. If Earth was much further from the Sun [atmosphere becomes a few feet of snow].' And so on [closer to Sun; non-spinning and Mercury; no atmosphere and lunar temps; more atmosphere and Venus; less buffered desert; etc]. Sort of using a story frame of Sun vs space for teaching temperature in primary school. Raman's work ties in nicely.
It is no less insane if they "just say the device is not yours but you paid to lease it".
To me, DynamoDB is not quite serverless, because users still pay for the reserved capacity units. In contrast, Lambda functions scale automatically.

That’s not what I learned tautology means.

the saying of the same thing twice over in different words, generally considered to be a fault of style (e.g. they arrived one after the other in succession ).

What’s your definition?
New York Times with its typical anti-capitalist spin. Amazon Basics doesn't sell because its Amazon or they used ‘Data That No One Else Has', it is simply the same product at a cheaper price.

The same is true at Kirkland at Costco, Great Value at Walmart and Signature at Safeway/Albertsons. You can buy Signature batteries at Safeway. Brands clearly add a brand tax which is unjustified. They have larger distribution/scale than store brands, yet they charge more. Market forces are driving prices down and that is a good thing.
Dealing with Hard Problems (2015)
My partner has, for 20 years, hated Babylon 5. An ex-boyfriend apparently forced her to watch an episode, which generated a lot of hate for the show. I re-watched it a few years ago, and she incidentally watched this scene: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_GOHqe0vokU

She laughed herself silly, and told me that the show isn't what she thought it was. I gave it a few months, and showed her some funny bits from it every now and then. The last one I showed her was this scene:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NkwF5BBL26I

She smiled a little, but clearly didn't get it. I explained that it's much, much funnier if you know the backstory of the characters, the how and why of G'kar's hatred for Londo, and she said "OK, I'll watch some of it."

I showed her the pilot and a few episodes, and she kept saying that it didn't make as much sense as she expected, and wondered why I kept pointing things out; "remember this for future reference."

So, we got halfway through the season, and she started asking to watch more of it. We're stalled just now, part way through season five, but she's firmly a fan of it.

When I watched it back in 2015/2016, I did notice how some of the scenes appeared to have been cropped and zoomed for the DVD release, The composition was off, and as noted in the story, some shots looked very much like a low res MPEG in fullscreen. I wasn't certain if they were originally like that or not. Glad to know it wasn't, although I would much rather watch a standard def (or plain upscaled) rather than the crappy video we got.

What do you mean? The lottery just gives you a green card. Once you have it, you can apply for naturalization in 5 years. Once you get your citizenship, you have pretty much all the rights and benefits as any other citizen, except you can't get elected president.
Why? If it’s not your property... If you rent a car, you cannot remove the doors, if you buy it you can, that’s accepted. What’s the difference? In return, when it’s broken, the owner (the one you rent it from) needs to repair it. Unlike when it’s bought and out of (some kind of) warranty.

Evaporative cooling plus the fact it freezes at night, and they have a system for transferring melted run off to the outside to refreeze.

Being originally from a hot, HUMID climate, I find these articles so exasperating. It can get to 85 degrees at night where I was born. So thanks, thanks for the mystic knowledge of the ancients, but it's central and a fridgedair for me.

Half the articles are trying to stop people from using cooling compressors, and discuss the limitations in passing.
This just means you won't debug things using a browser console, but using a debugger designed for the host language instead. And that would be a blessing: I'm far more proficient in GDB than I am in the Chrome/Firefox developer tools.
I have a hard time taking seriously anyone who makes claims about what is “hardwired” about human behavior.

It’s one thing to observe historical patterns. For the most part you can only guess about what is innate. And your language should reflect that.

Statements about what’s innate do tend to reveal the boundaries of what the speaker is willing to consider. So they are informative in that way.
ORM's are nice for majority of writes and simple reads based off of an object (a model).

It starts to hinder once there's a requirement for complex reports. I find, that's where the distatse of ORMs in an organization starts.

The other way to deal with majority of these complex reports is to create a separate OLAP table (model) to write/update too, and pull aggregates from there. But that's treading on a thin line of over-engineering.

ORM's are supposed to be used for Objects. If a report isn't a well-defined object/model, then it's going to fight against an ORM.
The rules in the NFL were changed a while back to prevent winning during the first overtime possession by a field goal, in the name of "fairness".

That goal always struck me as self-contradictory. The fact that you've gotten to overtime, and that you have overtime, inherently means the teams are nearly equal, but we don't want a tie. The whole point of overtime is to prevent an equal score, so inherently it requires amplifying tiny differences and getting an arbitrary result. Trying to give the teams each an equal chance just demonstrates that people don't know what they want.

It appears that in 2017, overtime periods were shortened from 15 minutes to 10 minutes, out of concern for the fatigue of extra playing time. If I was in charge, I'd just say no overtime in the regular season and go back to having ties like in the old days. That seems "fair" to me.
Thanks for that, I've run into cyberduck but never was sure if it was open source or what till now.
They work much better in dry climates that cool down massively at night, and require that digging that far into the ground doesn't make you hit the water table.
If your cultural relativism/multiculturalism/whatever-you-want-to-call-it leads you to equate/compare "institutionalized torture killing of children" with "pollution," that's a hint that you've made some drastic reasoning errors.

It's such a silly, unreasonable ideology that it basically refutes itself when you get anywhere near a corner case like this.

Some cultures/ideologies really are better than others. If you need me, I'll be right here in my Western Civilization, happily not vivisecting anyone.
It's not that they're role playing. It's that they're professionally neutral.

It's pretty accurate if you consider immigration overall, and for one simple reason: US has the most extensive family immigration eligibility, at least among developed countries. In Canada, for example, you can't sponsor your grandparents for permanent residence; but in US, you can. This is also why US is the only developed country dominated by family rather than skilled immigration, by the way.

Digital technologies haven’t transmitted information between very many generations at all. I don’t think this was the problem.

People up thread discuss how good guy Cortez must have been, merely affected by Aztek sacrifices and saving locals. That is somehow on topic? Why the difference?

It is as if people were emotionally invested into this, despite this being hundred years old affair.

So yes, this matters because thread up there want to make adventure book out of this. It is not about trying to figure history, it is about treating it all as scary book.
No man, there's so much more exposure that way. And remember, this is a criminal enterprise. Those people who run your fronts could just as easily rob/kill you and take it for themselves, and given the chance they will. With bitcoins you can 1) do it yourself, no middlemen other than the bitcoin processor who doesn't give a flying right-hand fuck where the money comes from, and 2) do it far, far, far quicker than traditional methods. A thief isn't going to give a damn about fees, I'm tellin ya, in the end it's all profit for them. Get in, get it, and get out. If I hit a lick for $100k, flip it in a couple days while interacting with not another soul but lose 30k to fees, I'm still up 70k that's a good lick. and if I paid the 30k to not have to deal with ANYONE face-to-face (least of all other criminals) that's worth it in spades because I'm not spending MY 30k, I'm spending YOUR 30k.
First, the rule is to not complain about downvotes. Particularly challenging folks to downvote you to oblivion.

Second, while the title mentions GDPR, it also mentions banking, this cannot mean providing an advertising company with unaudited, uncontrolled access to do whatever it likes, you seem to be excluding these cases as you repeat your argument about GDPR.

Likely you are being downvoted as your posts aren't fitting with the guidelines. Oh, and your comment I don't know if you read it or not, is a reply to a comment made by the author. Please stop.
The best theory I’ve seen goes as follows. Humans the world over have domesticated like a dozen beasts of burden [1]. Ever. Most of those animals are in the Old World. (The New World just had llamas.)

Domesticated beasts of burden mean (a) higher productivity, i.e. cities i.e. proximity between people and (b) proximity between people and animals. The latter provides a vector for novel diseases to form. The former provides a vector for them to spread.

The boost to productivity, meanwhile, meant the Old World had the resources to venture out. It’s more challenging to bootstrap a complex technological society with just alpaca.

As long as we're asking plumbing noise questions, I'll ask one that I've never managed to find a satisfactory answer to.

When I turn on the hot water, such as in a tub or a sink, some cold water comes out before hot water does. (I have to wait for the water to "get hot", which of course is not really getting hot, it's flushing cold water out.) I'm pretty sure I'm not imagining this, but I can hear when the water is hot. The only way I know how to describe it is that it sounds a bit calmer. Why is that?
I can't believe what I've read in this sub-thread. Thanks for sticking up for liberty and opportunity, as that is what the USA what founded upon.
Vice has a good video on drug dealers lining up to use a Bitcoin ATM every day somewhere in an American ghetto. Bitcoin is 100% about drug dealing, gambling, and tax avoidance.

You would have to be a total moron to go through all the hoops to use it otherwise. Its kinda like running desktop linux in that way.
Making your reports 2x as productive is far more expansive (and less visible) than just ensuring they're working on stuff 2x as important or doing 2x as much work.

Think of software for a moment. Has there every been a library, language, framework, etc that you absolutely love to use? The API is just right, the framework is the perfect level of opinionated vs. not opinionated, it just gets out of your way and lets you accomplish what you want, it's consistently reliable, it has fantastic backwards compatibility, it's error handling semantics are clear and the right level of verboseness, the internals are so well architected that it's also incredibly performant, etc.

It's just such a pleasure to work with. It's always just what you need, right when you need it, exactly how you needed it.

A company is a system, just like software. And a team is a submodule within that system. A 2x manager is the person that is able to make (and maintains) their team into the type of beloved system I mentioned above. How they do that is dependent on their expertise at comprehending, navigating, and influencing the larger system, and shaping their team to be precisely what that larger environment needs.

As hard as it is to do the above, it's really, really easy for a 0.1x manager to destroy that type of system/team. A few breaking API changes ("my team no longer handles those types of request you've been giving my team for years" vs "I've spoken with team x and it turns out they're more appropriately staffed to complete that work. Don't worry though, I've got a change management process in place and will ensure the handoff is seamless for you", refactoring some internal code that kills performance (i.e. losing important ICs without any risk mitigation/change management in place), etc can all tank the goodwill and community adoption of that once beloved system.

I switch between being an IC, a purely people manager, a functional manager (i.e. a team lead with people management and hiring/firing authority), and a "manager" (that's effectively an IC with a manager title so I have the organizational authority to execute the type of work I was doing). If you've never been a manager before, let me tell you: doing that shit right is exhausting. The biggest difference between being an IC and being a manager is that, as an IC, I'm able to ignore 90% of the bullshit around me and focus on my work. As a manager (whether doing IC work or purely people-managing), I can't ever tune out that organizational noise/bullshit/dysfunction/needs, because the more in tune I am with that the more likely that I can position my team to support the company, and in doing so ensure the peace of my team.

It's hard to image what a 2x manager is, because there's no single way to define one. But as an IC, having (or losing) a 2x manager will have a noticeable impact on you and your team's productivity over time, in any of a dozen or so different ways.
Using innerHTML is leaving the DOM manipulation to the C++ the browsers are written in.

Using createElement is leaving the DOM manipulation to the C++ the browsers are written in.

Using HTML is leaving the DOM manipulation to the C++ the browsers are written in.

Using your framework (react/angular/etc) is leaving the part of the framework thats using innerHTML/createElement to leave the DOM manipulation to the C++ the browsers are written in.

Whichever path you take, the browser must do some DOM manipulation to render anything.. because that is what browsers are built to do.
Is there a general purpose op amp that is the modern equivalent of the 741? Something with a much more recent design with widespread use.
> Everything is a randomly distributed result unless proved to be affected by a specific input.

Nope. The former is invalidated by the latter, if you take the statement at face value. Everything appears randomly distributed...oh wait that isn't true either as you always have ranges and generally 2 axes (one being time). Most importantly, this doesn't contribute the conversation in any way. -1
There is, without a doubt, a Bitcoin cult. Or more generally, crypto-currency cults.

The headline reads like it's only a cult, which isn't the case. Even the most critical observer must concede that these distributed networks are novel and interesting.

The farther you move from social media, the less cult-like things get. The best discussion remains on listservs, and there is a lot of interesting and substantive discussion occurring.

From building a mostly mud building in a hot humid climate, it seems that the best you can usually do is "not less comfortable than outside". Basically a large reflective (say straw) roof/shade without walls is the ideal dwelling type, open to prevailing south breezes. Humidity can be regulated a bit using appropriate partitions, but nothing too much as far as I have found.

In the end as long as there is enough of a breeze conditions can be kept "moderately comfortable" without AC for most of the year in our location. Though, it does really ask for there to be a nap in the middle of the day.

I feel great jealousy for all the creative solutions that can be used in dry climates, including convective and evaporative!
Somewhat raw but at the end of the day I'd say mostly true.

I'll add my own conjecture: the root problem is that this hypothetical couple you describe (who is more common than many would like to admit) are both settling.

They are settling because they didn't take marriage seriously earlier in their lives. They didn't take marriage seriously because society stopped forcing them to do so. And nature also didn't force them to either, thanks to birth control.

These aren't individuals at fault here - these are systemic incentives warping previously traditional behavior.

So then this couple got into their 30s, which isn't young, as the decades are not created equal. And they realized - oh shit, better actually try figuring out how to have a family, lest we live alone and with limited meaning for the latter 40 years of life. Seriously - what are people thinking that they'll be happy being single into their 40s and beyond?

Here's a sad truth: most people will get a decent, but not super meaningful job. There can only be so many entrepreneurs and rockstars. So from ages 35 onwards, you better be set up to have a family and create something that will provide you meaning for Act II of life, because it's quite long.
This is correct. International funding does happen. Funds travel across regions, countries, territoritories, very quickly, to enable the passing of goods on the ground.

If you build ~1MHz circuits with 741s and replace them with 071s, you'll notice how ass the 741s are.

Also, I've seen some people use 071s' inputs with no DC path to ground, and see their output slowly drift up/down because of tiny bias currents. Doesn't happen with 741s, usually.
Yeah, it seems the most successful crypto businesses are basically crypto exchanges for trading crypto...
decreased body fat (down 3% from 14% to 11%)

A decrease from 14%BF to 11%BF is a decrease of over 20%, not 3%. Three percentage points is not 3%, unless the base is 100.

But what's really distracting is the basic terminology fail. The strategy being described is Time-Restricted Feeding, which is but one form of intermittent fasting.
What's wrong with the 741?

The 071 is also "jellybean" enough; both are still currently used in modern designs because how dirt cheap they are.

But they are "high voltage", non rail-to-rail anything, so people tend to use more modern options for new designs.
