I agree mixing any type of animation in a content area is jarring. But what I'm doing here is using the same sort of pattern people are comfortable with on the internet already.

I think every user expects some sort of introductory section at the top of a content area, whether it's just a title and preface or a banner/hero image to set the mood or peak interest.

Also let's not lose sight of the true purpose of the article - it's about a variety of techniques that may have nothing to do with animations and more about storytelling and scene composition of information to lead users into call to actions :)
I agree that the trackpad on the macbook pro is the gold standard, but the author needs to effectively define the requirements in terms of something testable. Otherwise they will be stuck in a bikeshedding world where everyone is arguing.

This doesn't require any coding expertise, but it does require the ability to write requirements in a way that more than one person can interpret them correctly.

I'm on facebook's side on this one.

The site experiencing traffic drop and doing layoffs, Diply, is a click-bait content farm[1].

> Not surprisingly, the traffic was built largely on the usual melange of stories that are meant to be viral, shareable and not so taxing on brain cells — listicles, clickbait, household tips and user-generated content that allows Diply to go light on editorial staffing

[1] Source [2015]: https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/2015/11/26/diply-invest...

Ironically this story's title is also clickbait-ish. The Algorithm changes are allegedly leading to traffic drop (and in turn layoffs) at Diply, a facebook advertizer / "sharer", not at Facebook itself.
Not that dangerous if you do your own maths. I don't really trust cloud backup. As they said, the 11 9s doesn't matter. You are more likely to encounter a billing problem (as they said) but also get hacked, have a problem with your internet connection, many things can go wrong.

That's why you need another solution if you are serious about your data, maybe a set of external hard drives (local backup). This way, you have redundancy and little correlation in failure, which greatly improves your general durability. That local storage may be paid with the money you save by getting an "inferior" cloud backup provider.
The fact that the script is open source is great, but I'd be extremely hesitant to download something that patches my laptop's boot sequence without a little more info and/or some comments in the code about exactly what it's doing. Yes, I can see the sed commands, but I have zero idea what it's actually replacing or with what.
> These are full x86 machines that can handle a much different workload than an EdgeRouter X.

These are x86-64 (AMD64) machines, running a 64-bit fork of FreeBSD. pfSense doesn't run on x86-32 anymore (even though x86-32 works perfectly fine as router). The argument is that its "ancient" hardware; yet here we are discussing single-threaded PPPoE...

EdgeRouter X is a bit weak, sure (though it also does not use a lot of power), EdgeRouter Lite (which I got) is already much better performance, sports a MIPS64 and more RAM.

> [..] you'll quickly see where the extra money would've been nice.

If I'd want the highest performance + bang of buck + got the time to maintain (including the hardware) I'd go for PC Engines plus OPNsense or Router-7. But I don't want to put a lot of effort/time in maintaining my home router.

I'm positive we'll have loads of fun with RISV-V routers in the near future. If not the big corps, perhaps smaller ones. Amazon also appears to have plans to sell switches with AWS support.

There's also MicroTik/RouterOS.

Well no, a major characteristic of a fairy it that it flies, it has insect-like wings in the back.

And I believe that from a bio-mechanical (muscular, skeletal) point of view, insect-like wings capable on sustaining flight are not possible on a human back.

For an interesting take on this, see the Artemis Fowl series of books where fairies don't have actual wings but are much more advanced that us regular humans, and fly thanks to technological winged backpacks, and this is the origin of the human myth of fairies (they started hiding after middle age, thus why the myth stayed intact).
Right. Given the aims of the current administration, unless something happens, I don't believe that those protections will survive. There is currently a court case in Texas which is stating that the protections around pre-existing conditions are not legal. The makeup of the courts, especially if Trump gets to nominate another justice, makes me believe they will kill it, and then we'll be even worse off than we were before.

I think what surprises me is that they wanted to fly the guy half way around the world. Canada and the US border each other.

I DO think that the gentleman made a bad decision saying that he was intent on staying in-country for 6 months afterwards. That's probably all the insurance company needed to think, "Yeah, this guy is using travel insurance as regular insurance"

Still, I do think the gentleman get the wrong end of the stick. I know I won't use this company, but now I really don't know who to use.
What an amazing read. These folks really pulled off some fantastic engineering without a JIT. It will be interesting to see if the team decides to add additional knobs to configure the Go GC for different workloads like Java has now.

I'm aware of what judicial discretion is. I find the idea of using unproven allegations as input into that process to be pretty concerning, though.

> As an aside, epistemically, you seem to be confused about the meaning of "evidence." Evidence is stuff that causes you to believe something more. Evidence does not imply that there is a 100% certainty of something being true.

I'm not confused about what "evidence" is. The thing is that we have a process for determining guilt of crimes, and it's not "a judge thinks evidence is fairly compelling".

We have here someone who was convicted of a specific set of crimes but whose sentencing was driven by another set of unproven crimes. "Factoring in evidence" of those alleged crimes requires assuming that those crimes were committed as alleged, but such assumption violates the presumption of innocence. If the evidence is compelling, then try those crimes.
- "But thinking negatively all the time will sap your motivation and enjoyment of life."

The thing is that people are not always embarrassed, because they like to feel embarrassed. You'll get comments, snarky, clever remarks that will stick in your head. You'll get people staring at you, pointing at you, laughing behind your back just in earshot. They'll twist the truth, saying your lazy or dimwitted. Those things make you feel negative too. Now you'll say, "but you got to break the vicious cycle!", but that's so easy to say. Even if you've been through the same, your experience is completely different. People get depressed because they see the work ahead to break out of that circle, and if it's big enough they start to contemplate their existence in life. Because at some point you'll learn, that after breaking this vicious cycle, there's a next, and a next. And the reward is often too small. It also definitely doesn't help that some people have it easier only because of sheer luck, and those same people will be the ones keeping you down - "where you belong".

The US government already pays more per capita (that is, more for every single living person in the USA) for healthcare than any other nation on earth.

This is entirely WITHOUT universal public insurance, the US could easily save money by making public insurance avalible for everyone.

This is a prime example of how people so easily accept a headline shared on some news authority to be truth. Even the bright minds at hacker news are duped - just look at all the discussion happening here with the assumption the headline is correct.

The guy who tweeted this jumped to a conclusion, naively shared his discovery, then let it perpetuate leaving numerous victims of an erroneously altered world-view.
I've very disappointed their recovery time is 6 days!

Recovery workload should be spread across the whole cluster, so that the recovered data gets distributed evenly. In that case, assuming 10,000 drives, to recover one dead 12TB drive and a recovery rate of even 10 MB/secs per machine, recovery of one drive should be done in under a second. Maybe 10 seconds with some sluggish tail machines.

Why do you need it done in under a second? While the data is down one replica, it is at dramatically higher risk. Also, drive failures can be dramatically accelerated, for example in the case of a bad software release erasing data - you need to be able to move data faster than bad software gets released. And releasing software at a rate of one machine per second still means a release takes 3 hours!
At least in my area, most of my orders still arrive in 2 days after cancelling. I just have to order a little less frequently to get that $35 free ship threshold.

I was noticing I was ordering far less recently (mostly settled in the new house now), and the fact they still refuse to support Chromecast meant Prime Video was useless for me. The price hike was the final nail.
Yikes, my girlfriend is applying to med school as we speak. The medical industry is certainly a highly regulated, potentially overpriced service for decades now.

When I see a headline like this, I have to seriously ask myself: "Is this when the bubble finally pops, or will it be status quo for another generation?"
Yeah, my conclusion is "next time start a company that isn't trash."
Judges are permitted, and encouraged, to take into account other evidence around the individual when sentencing. That's why at hearings, you have so many people parading asking for leniency, saying what a good guy the person is. It makes sense that you'd also take into account the other side of that.
It's the third biggest economy in the world. Maybe the other states are too small and need to be joined.

The event that wiped out the Dinosaurs was 65 million years ago, but the Mesozoic era lasted for ~200 million years. Your point stands, though.
> Glycemic index (GI)
> GI is a measure of the effects of a foods carbohydrate component on blood sugar levels. Carbohydrates that break down quickly during digestion and rapidly release glucose into the bloodstream are characterized as having a high GI value, whereas carbohydrates that are broken down slowly and release glucose into the bloodstream in a more gradual manner are characterized as having a low GI value.

> Glycemic load (GL)
> Glycemic Load takes into account a foods GI value and a standardized 100g portion size and is calculated as GL = GI x available CHO in a 100g serving / 100. Therefore the GL takes into account the amount of carbohydrate consumed and is a more accurate measure of the impact of a food on blood sugars. As a general rule foods that have a low GL usually have a low GI and those with a medium to high GL value almost always have a very high GI value.

Operationally there is zero difference between a new and used car. One thing about cars, price is about a quarter to a third the cost of running one. A used F150 or baby BMW will cost you more than a new Toyota Yaris over five years.
About 20 million people in northeastern Thailand speak Isan, a dialect of Lao. There's also a long tail of languages spoken in minority communities. Thai is widely spoken in Bangkok but the rural areas are much more of a patchwork in terms of languages used. As I said though, these numbers have large error bars so it's hard to be very certain of what the actual distribution looks like today.
As an experienced manager, I shudder at the thought of pulling this off. But...

and want to push myself to a first experience software lead.

Am I to take this to mean this is your first experience leading a team? If that is the case, you are being set up for failure so that the CEO doesn't have to take the heat. "I brought in a high-dollar contractor, she was supposed to be good, but I guess not." If what you describe is accurate, and I'll bet there is a lot you're not being told, Jesus Christ himself would look at this situation and say, "Sure, I can raise the dead, but this project, I dunno..." An inexperienced manager in a new culture in a different country? Yeah, you might want to cancel that plane ticket.

If I'm misreading your situation, feel free to ignore all of the above. But even if you're experienced, mmmm, I personally wouldn't do it.

First of all, when there is a manufacturer who can create something decent as a macbook touchpad, then others can do the same. Especially when you are at a price point that is identical to a Macbook's. There is no excuse to cut corners on such a simple thing like a stupid touchpad.

Second, nobody here is a Macbook fanboy just because their touchpads, but there is a reason why we praise them. From my part I am not a fanboy. I absolutely hate Apple and what it has become. But credit is due for the small things they get right. And the touchpad is one of them. The last good series of their pro line was the 2015 one, which I use at work. That is the best and you can see that as other manufacturers tried to copy it in every way. Not so much with the new models.

Third, most of the touchpads on Linux are bad not because the hardware itself is bad, but because bad support and drivers that apparently nobody wants to fix. My current laptop has a fantastic touchpad under Windows, but under Linux is absolute shit and there is not much you can do about it.

Can the touchpad be still used? Yes, of course, but I hate it. It makes me work slower and makes me annoyed, just the simple fact that under Windows that touchpad is awesome and I can't use it the same way under Linux. That simple fact kills it.

So to sum it up. It's not about Apple, it's not about what OS you like to use. It's not about peoples choice. It's about Linux being shit with touchpads on laptops whether it's old or new, or from another dimension.

So you are completely missing the point here.

>What do you have from the healthcare part now? Drugs, diagnosis, lab test (from the like of labcorps), or just point of sale addresses because hipaa?

Nothing. The data at issue in this article belongs to a category called "Non-FCRA" (Fair Credit Reporting Act), which means they cannot (really, are not supposed to) be used for things like credit and hiring decisions. Most of the data are from the public domain, although there are some data that are only quasi-public (meaning they're nominally public but you must have special privileges to see them). I haven't seen any truly non-public data.

>How is the data linked? ssn, phone numbers? (just a best guess, in case you spotted some linking anomalies)
?Is the primary key still a number internal to lexis nexis?

The primary key is an internal UID, where each person has his/her own. There are edge cases where people in their DB do not have UID's at all or where a single person has multiple UID's.

They obviously have some linking but I've seen little indication that they have a robust graph under the hood. For example, Lexis may "know" that you've cohabitated with a member of the opposite sex about the same age as you for 10 years starting when you were 30, and also "know" that you're married to someone with the same name as the cohabitant, but fail to identify that person as your spouse because the marriage records are siloed in their back end.

>How detailed is the social network now? (just people living together and neighbours, or does it includes relatives and family members)

There are lots of data available on your relatives and family members, but again, the linkages are piss-poor. For example, your record may say that your name is "John Smith Jr." and you lived with a man who is 30 years older than you named "John Smith Sr." until you were 18, but fail to identify that person as your father.
Considering how inaccurate some of Fitbit's measurements are( resting heart rate, for example ), I would sue my insurer if I found out they were using that data. My doctor shouldn't be using it either.

RHR is normally measured within the first 30 minutes of waking while lying in bed, which is something Fitbit can determine. What I've noticed is that on days when my RHR that I've measured using their monitor after waking is 54 BPM, they report up to 61 BPM. There's a very long chain on their forum about how inaccurate the measurement is.
"Why is my health insurance covering routine maintenance?"

Because the preventative care reduces the costs down the line, and there is no way for an insurer to check if people are actually doing their routine maintenance if they don't do it. So it's better to include it in the premium. It's different from your roof in that your HO insurance only covers freak accidents (not failure because of old age), whereas health insurance covers many old age related problems.
Argan Oil has been used for thousands of years for treating skin and hair. By far the best stuff I've found moisturizing my skin. I would suggest avoiding the infused shampoos and what not, and go for the pure stuff sold in little bottles applied directly to scalp and hair.

I've never had to touch libinput or xinput to control the touchpad. I just use synclient, and never had much trouble.
