That's assuming the behavior is rooted in rationality, when the whole issue is that it isn't.

Joe Random was never actually going to hurt your kids.
The way architects think, it's considered more convincing to use materials honestly than to dress them up or conceal them. So painting or otherwise decorating acoustic tiles is not an attractive option. The exposed ductwork thing is about not concealing (potentially messy) services. It's not just a fashion, it's a kind of moral imperative, that those services should be neat and orderly, not a chaotic mess concealed by a dropped ceiling...
> Ancient Rome may have had a senate, an emperor and a few generals to run the army, but in realty, there wasn’t a single sociopolitical structure larger than a few hundred people, and there really hasn’t been, until after modern times.

> few generals to run the army.

> the army

The army was rather a bit bigger than 1000 people.
RoI may go beyond financial measures for some of us.

I'd invest even if the only yield is longer/better life rather than $.

More $ - not terribly important beyond a threshold.

Longer/better life - yeah, that's important no matter how much money I have.
To take just one example, and assuming that it really is terrible to wear socks in a pool (I know that's not actually terrible)... If the sock-wearer were of the same race, would the white person just complain directly: "Hey this is a family-friendly pool: take those damn socks off!" or would the person not care at all because it's fine for white people to wear socks in the pool? The two possibilities both have racist implications, but different racist implications. I almost feel that in the first case we all just need to get together and talk it over. In the second case the racism is fairly irredeemable...
Wouldn't proper use of `git rebase --interactive` make changelogs unnecessary?

>Reddit is a cesspool of white supremacists, incels, etc...

What an absurd statement. There are certainly some nasty subreddits on there, but the site's overall community seems to be 90% or more left-leaning and very anti-racism. And reddit banned most white supremacist and incel subreddits in the past few years.

Right, I suppose it's not fair to say it was originally meant for "creating CD-ROM games," that's an oversimplification. It's more like it was meant as a way to make applications without needing to learn a more advanced language like C++.
Except that some regulations are more like subsidies than other regulations. Coverage mandates are, in economic terms, almost always a cross subsidy. The regulated company builds uneconomic infrastructure to comply with the mandate, and pays for it by raising prices on everyone else.

Regulation is appropriate where there is some market failure or externality you're trying to address. E.g. regulating pollution is economically efficient, because it prevents companies from being able to externalize their costs onto the public.

It's not appropriate to use regulation to simply achieve an end result you hope to achieve just because you're unhappy with the market equilibrium. If the end goal really is important, than rather than distort the market for everyone else the government should simply provide the desired service or pay for it directly.

In addition to the study requirements you mention the MIT Hayden Library is one of the best 'small' humanities libraries I have ever visited. I did a lot of homework there for a summer class in technical Japanese in 1990.

You can take study breaks by wandering around the stacks, which not large but amazingly well selected. Virtually every book you put your finger on is something worth reading. The Hayden Library opened up a whole world of biblical studies through the works of Robert Alter and Frank Kermode, which were sitting in the shelves a few feet away from my table. It's colored my impression of MIT ever since.

It is all America fault. I think this British newspaper protests a bit too much.

Who was it that spread colonies around the world? Colonies where all schoolchildren were taught English?

America may get most of the credit or blame but the English did their part in spreading the language.
Maybe your opinion on him is based on the only evidence you are allowed to see.

I don't think I understand your reasoning. The busybodies aren't calling the HOA; they're calling the police. If we punish those who are mostly guilty of having assholes for neighbors enough, is that going to make life better for an 11yo with gonorrhea? Wouldn't it be better for CPS to have more time to help children with actual problems?
Lockfiles have other benefits, such as locking down dependencies' hashes to prevent future tampering.
Why would an employer pay you to contribute to Rails when so many others are willing to do it for free? In the end it's just another framework; it works well enough but not really superior to the numerous alternatives.
One thing that I think is being missed is that code/a product is not the only thing that matters. In fact, it's one of the less important things here.

Once a design is set, implementing it is "just work". I'm not sure trying to undervalue that, but the important part is first investigating the design. The package management committee came up with the tried and tested design while Russ was trying to understand the true requirements. Both have their merits, and time will tell if Russ is right here. The thing to do keep in mind is that investigative work is inherently "wasteful".

go get will update a dependency and edit go.mod for you automatically. And using go mod -fix will fix misleading versions specified in go.mod (i.e. if you require version X but are getting version Y because of a transitive dependency the require will be updated to say Y).
The article mentions:

> Some NIH will give your best staff something to really get their teeth into. A chance to create. A chance to contribute something original. An incentive to remain at your company.

Although it's not saying fun, pleasing, or interesting, it could be argued that this is what is meant, just with a more positive spin.

What's notably missing is whether the original, meaty creation provides value beyond retention (which a sibling comment points out does, indeed, have value).

Possible value to the staff is improved (or at least kept honed) skills, and possible value can go to the community for anything open-sourced. Of course, the latter can result in a proliferation of options that result in a "paralysis of choice" for which the article has an entire section.
The trend towards English isn’t universal. In Vietnam universities have just scrapped English as a requirement and replaced it with Chinese. And in tourist areas all over the country people are scrambling to learn Chinese in order to serve the deluge of Chinese tourists. I imagine this is going on in many other parts of Asia too, accelerated by China’s “Belt and Road” policy.
No. The commit history is for the developer perspective, the changelog is for the user perspective.

As a user you don't want and need all the details what changed between two releases. As a developer you absolutely need to be able to look this information up.
Not everyone who might be interested in your changelog will be a developer. Even developers don't want to go trawling through commit history to know changes at a high level.
And yet, despite the shortcomings of local governance and economics rationalization, I have (very!) reliable water, sewer, power, natural gas, and trash services, provided by my local municipality and regulated utilities (respectively). My internet connectivity need not be any different. I'm willing to tolerate growing pains as local and state governments adapt to this "new normal" compared to the traditional monopoly/duopoly for-profit status quo.
> The problem with C++ is that it was based on the C language, which already was an example of terrible design (by modern standards)

I guess by modern you mean 1980, given the alternatives.
Anecdote, but having spent years in an open office the amount of emailing and chat happening instead of talking skyrocketed as density increased.

Any time anyone spoke everyone else could hear the conversation, so discussions tended to be formal and short. No "how are the kids" or other pleasantries.

Meetings would drag on, if only for the added bit of privacy you had in conference rooms.

There were some benefits, but overall I'm not a fan of them.
As a former pharmaceutical chemist I’m calling bullshit.

Could they have made a few grams of nalaxone? Sure it’s pretty simple. Did they make enough to make a difference? No. Did they make sufficiently pure drug so that people don’t get poisoned? Probably not.

And did they make the AIDS drug? He’ll no. That synthesis is way more complicated than their mini lab can handle.

It makes for good VICE articles, but these guys are amateurs who are likely going to get someone killed.
1. Just adding absorption to the ceiling isn't enough - absorption on the ceilings help kill ceiling reflections, but you still need to deal with reflections from the floor, walls and various surfaces. Absorption works best if it is distributed around around the room.

2. In addition to being unattractive, another reason acoustic ceiling tiles aren't popular is that they are difficult to clean compared to smooth, hard surfaces. There are acoustic surface finishes from brands like Pyrok and BASWA that can be cleaned with industrial cleaners, but those finishes are expensive to install.
In general, if a government asks your provider for access to your emails then will hand them over. The only way to mitigate this threat is to use e2e encryption or host the email server on premises but then you start encountering deliverability issues.
The ones I've tried aren't deviating every once in a while; they're using completely different translations.

I find that challenging because I've focused on reading for so long that I'm severely under-developed on my understanding of vernacular, spoken language. The upshot of that being, if the subtitles and audio differ significantly, my brain handles it about the same way as if I'm watching with English subtitles: The ears get disconnected from the brain, and I default to reading without really listening.
Maybe the humanities need to change and that's the problem, but looking at those graphs in the article it seems that the answer is "it's the economy, stupid." When I was in High School we were all told that it didn't matter what you majored in so long as you got into a good college. Maybe kids now just have a little reality built into them, that jobs don't come free with a college education, that it's possible to take on more student debt than you can afford with your job opportunities. And maybe what's happening is just that fewer kids are getting duped into digging themselves into debt expecting they'll have a career at the end of it because they followed their passion like everyone told them was how you get successful.
Well sure, but it isn't just parents preventing the tutoring described above. What man wants to open himself up to that craziness?

This looks extremely useful. Thank you.
You do come across as having a negative attitude toward women and minorities because you are saying they only got in because someone let them in, they are expected to be lesser.
I am my own provider. It's really not that hard to configure a mail server. Other peoples' providers, however... so I tried using PGP. It's somehow manages to be more difficult to use than configuring and running your own mailsystem which doesn't deliver straight to gmails' spam folder, but I digress; but then my emails are at mercy of the end devices: who knows if outlook doesn't send a plaintext email home as "telemetry"? Same thing about chrome with all the extensions for using PGP... I mean, security is hard as-is, but security of an ubiquitous thing, especially when people have been conditioned to undervalue security and privacy, is a lost cause. It's best to treat emails as being in the same category as phone calls, conversations in subway and sms'es - public.

So this is kinda like the HSTS preload list, but includes MX server names, and is supposed to be updated every 48 hours.

Couldn't we just put this in DNS?
Those two sources pay for a fraction of what goes into R&D at private companies.
That's FUD. If a system is correctly set up, you'll have no deliverability issues.

Edit: srsly guys, HACKER news people say that it's impossible for a person to have a proper mailserver set up? That's hilarious, if not sad!
If I'm reading this [1] right, some TLDs can be renewed by a different party. In that case, "link rot" might become wholesale link poisoning.

The Academy encourages the avoidance of loan words, but very few people in France actually listen to the Academy. Spend ten minutes in any French tech company and the Academy goes out the window.
Laptop and notebook comes to mind. Maybe English does have this mechanism but to a less extent?

Interesting enough, Portuguese also does compounding to some extent (Bear in mind it's a romance language).

My favorite English feature is how you can pick a substantive and use it as a verb. Mostly makes sense, specially if there's evident connotation behind the substantive.
The site has a link to the starttls everywhere site right at the top - but it's also worth mentioning that the regular 'certbot' client for https everywhere can also be used to create certificates for your own smtpd. The easiest way is just having the sudo ability to temporarily open port 80 for the challenge/response process.

using certbot:

sudo ./certbot-auto certonly -v --standalone --standalone-supported-challenges http-01 -d mail.mydomainname.com

where mail.mydomainname.com is whatever is the full hostname of your MX.

then a pretty typical postfix configuration blob:

# TLS (SSL) private and public keys

# obtained from certbot-auto in /etc/certbot/

# sample CLI to obtain new cert

# sudo ./certbot-auto certonly -v --standalone --standalone-supported-challenges http-01 -d mail.mydomainname.com

smtpd_tls_CAfile=/etc/letsencrypt/live/mail.mydomainname.com/fullchain.pem

smtpd_tls_cert_file=/etc/letsencrypt/live/mail.mydomainname.com/cert.pem

smtpd_tls_key_file=/etc/letsencrypt/live/mail.mydomainname.com/privkey.pem

# TLS (SSL) configuration

smtp_tls_security_level=may

smtp_use_tls=yes

smtpd_use_tls=yes

smtpd_tls_loglevel=1

smtpd_tls_mandatory_protocols = !SSLv2, !SSLv3

smtpd_tls_session_cache_database = btree:${data_directory}/smtpd_scache

smtp_tls_session_cache_database = btree:${data_directory}/smtp_scache

# See /usr/share/doc/postfix/TLS_README.gz in the postfix-doc package for
# information on enabling SSL in the smtp client.
I agree that most engineering students don't care much either, but they generally have to put more work in and leave with some practical skills as well as a nice signing bonus + job at the end of the program. Humanities majors can just end up lost, no better off than after high school, and spending their 20s 'exploring.'

Take this with a grain of salt, I recently graduated so these are just my thoughts. Maybe in 10 years when I'm 30 I will say it's better to spend your 20s exploring. But probably not :)
I wouldn't be too surprised if this is true... but there's no way in hell that's enough evidence to reach that conclusion. We do not know 100% that brains are ran on a single conscious mind, even.

Following the conclusion of this article, given that it uses fairly broad definitions, I'm not sure how it is possible to understand a concept the morning after a good night of sleep. Something has to be going on sufficiently powerful to solve a problem, even if it's not a "thought" in the experiential sense.

I'm inclined to believe the opposite, the brain does a hell of a lot of work unconsciously and not that much consciously. I generally found that I reach better conclusions from throwing a lot of information at my brain, as opposed to trying to build a logical chain. The latter generally happens after.
Keeping your own server up at several nines of uptime is a non-trivial endeavour.
That's one of many ICANN rules which don't apply to country-code TLD operators.

Another example of a rule that's optional for them is ICANN's Uniform Dispute Resolution Policy. Indeed, only some of them have adopted it, with others using a variation and still others not basing any of their dispute mechanisms on the UDRP.
Reminds me of F# type providers. Maybe more powerful? I think defining everything at the DB makes sense and then you can generate much of the code beyond that and then you only need to write the custom code that a programmer actually needs to do.

Glad you are doing this!
Spectrum/TWC being kicked out of New York state
I have never heard vacancelle in France. But le week-end all the time. Even my kid’s school teachers used it. “Bon week-end!” Never heard fin de semaine even among my old country neighbors in Provence. My anecdote doesn’t make it fact of course. Most French people I know don’t pay any attention to the Academie Française.
True, that doesn't really give much more info than "updated" does.
> Shits so polarizing these days it seems there's no room for negotiation, as much as I'd like there to be.

Far worse if you're being polarized. Also they ACLU hasn't released their methodology, are you jumping to conclusions with the ACLU "doesn't understand technology"?
You're reading way too much into that map if you think people in low rent areas drive into Manhattan. Driving into Manhatten is slow, expensive and finding free parking is a pain in the ass.

Most of the red dots on that map are in Bergen and Rockland county. The concentration of red dots just above the George Washington bridge is where Chris Rock lives. My friend's hockey teammate lives there too. He owns a hedge fund and has his own hockey rink in his backyard.

I'm not saying everyone driving into the city is a millionaire, but they're not working at Starbucks. You'll need a much better job to afford living in Bergen and Rockland county.

> Really, the best solution here would be provide alternatives that suck less than driving 2 hours in New York City traffic - then people would stop driving all on their own.

We have those alternatives. They work pretty well, and the result has been that most people don't drive into the city. This is old news here. You don't have to sell people on not driving into the city, most abhor the idea. Look at the map again. Most use trains and buses.

In the map, you'll sometimes see clusters of red squares where people normally take buses. Some neighborhoods are more likely to use dollar vans and other unofficial shuttles.

If you are taking the bus from New Jersey, you're not sitting in the same traffic as the cars. In the morning, a long parade of buses flow into the Port Authority terminal in their own lanes.

Like most people here, I'm all about expanding mass transit whether it be trains or buses. People shouldn't have to rely on car services like taxis or Uber/Lyft when buses and shuttles could be a fast & cheaper alternative.

The bottom line is metro areas should take control of their roads and put them to more efficient use. Getting around on the subway is pretty good, but buses could be a fast alternative if certain streets and avenues were marked transit only.
I understand the point you’re getting at, but humans have a word for air? If fish really did have language, they would at least have a word for air, which would mean that they would also probably have a word for not-air: i.e water.

But that's just the same thing. We don't even need to debate what percentage of allegations are false. The percentage of men accused of sexual misconduct, falsely or otherwise, is low.

It's like school shootings. You hear about them because they're outrageous, not because you're ever likely to experience one.

And if someone is willing to lie about what happened when you were alone together, what stops them lying about the fact that you were alone together to begin with?
The cost of testing a drug for "human compatibility", e.g. the whole clinical trials series, is too high due to how many quality-adjusted life years are saved due to this. Actually, even if you just compare the money the medical system itself wastes on overtesting, instead of using it to help people with existing technology, you see that a lot of this clinical testing money is spend wrong. If we can fix this fearmongering with "bad" medicine, we can reduce the regulation for this and thus allow many more novel drugs to be developed or to spend much less on their development.
