Spam mail is the only thing keeping it afloat.

The USPS is the only federal institution required to fully fund its retirement. It's also expected to act like an efficient, private business, but it's unable to set its prices.

The USPS is intentionally hamstrung so that conservatives can point to it as an example of how inefficient government is, and subsequently line their pockets thought privatization.
I'm curious to hear how folks, who are more knowledgeable than I and have done more research, reconcile data points like these with the data showing lack of success in places like Finland.[1]

COM itself as a format/standard is Win32 agnostic other than being built on some similar data structures to Win32.

Also, WinRT isn't COM. It's very like COM, "son of COM and .NET metadata" and all that, but WinRT and all the WinRT components don't use Win32 and never have, and even have a quite clean break with all of the Win32 data structures COM has embedded in the past.

(Though, I suppose some of that starts to get into the semantic weeds of whether or not you consider DirectX a part of "Win32" or not, as for instance XAML is built on DirectX and much of DirectX is provided as WinRT components, sort of. There are certainly a lot of Win32-adjacent things that live in all worlds like DirectX, but whether or not they can be considered Win32 is an interesting philosophical debate.)
This is a surprisingly pretty common practice. I know people, even at Google, who want the ease of CMS but additional control.

Perhaps the most ironic thing I've read in a while:

"Suicides would also decrease, as the most of them are result of depression, which is mostly caused by anxiety about survival."
I don't think it's an uneducated answer, but even reasonable ideas in economics are generally somewhat speculative.

It is a scarcity, after all. Scarcities can have net different economic consequences.
At work because I have lately needed to roll web server/api/admin/client apps (embellished CRUD situations with some other serverside processing to generate user output) and for those my go to for dev speed, platform speed, familiarity, and a few other concerns I generally go with Node/Express/TypeScript and it's great to work with.

However for my personal site I used Django to give it a shot. Once I wrapped my head around a couple of different paradigms it was quite nice to work with, though I probably haven't laid it out as well as I would a real product or tool. It was very easy to get a pretty basic blog set up.

My only gripe might be on the blog end— it was kind of a pain to find a halfway-current compatible text editor for that purpose. But that isn't the end of the world for my own site. And of course, that's not an issue with Django itself.

"a quora member answered when asked about the UBI"

And at that moment, any semblence of legitimacy disappeared...

The main question about UBI is who pays for it and how. In the UK, a back-of-a-napkin calculation showed that all current benefits equally divided into a single BI would be around £4K, way below anything that most people would consider enough to live on.
Instagram uses it. I'd say they're pretty well-known.

Others: DigitalOcean, Pinterest (used Django at first, may have moved to Flask by now, not sure), Mozilla, Disqus, Robinhood, The Washington Post.
I wrote a small comparison here:

https://fusionjs.com/docs/getting-started/framework-comparis...

The main difference is Fusion.js has more support for backend things. For example, we provide a GraphQL plugin, and plugins such as I18N are bundle-splitting-aware out of the box.

The plugin system is universal (meaning you can isolate concerns by what the library is responsible for, rather than whether the code is server code, browser code, React provider boilerplate, HTML hydration code, etc).

This plugin architecture has already proved to be very valuable on more than a few occasions. One example is a service worker implementation we've been working on. It needs a middleware, browser-side registration code, etc, but all of this complexity is encapsulated in a plugin that can be added to any app with one line of code.

> Does it only support react?

Many plugins have a `-react` version that allow them to auto-integrate with React, but the core itself is view library agnostic.
Free Webinar: An Introduction to Performance Monitoring for PostgreSQL
A huge reason some people consider frameworks like Django obsolete is because they are focused on an older web paradigm of constructing elaborate html pages on the server side and pushing it out and letting some basic extra js stuff augment it.

That's what lead to things like server side HTML form definition and form handling code.

After the emergence of things like React, Angular, etc those "html templating" facilities get in the way because that stuff is baked into the react app and is focused on the client side, it may get server side rendered with nodejs. A modern fancy web application using React in 2018 doesn't need something like Django forms or Flask-WTF and those types of things conflict and overlap with things like React.

The backend is turning more into a data/API/GraphQL service than "get html" service that was popular when these frameworks emerged.
Facebook’s New Message to WhatsApp: Make Money
Russians run a troll factory which targets both domestic and foreign audiences. That is, they have industry with paid people spouting bullshit online with an agenda. Now, if some of those people are dispatched to troll in say /pol/, how does that not mean that Russia pays /pol/ to be the way it is? They pay money to actors which bring certain influence in online communities.

These days Russians largely run the American conspiracy theorist scene, including people like Alex Jones and networks of similar influencers and their affiliates. One might word this in milder terms as American conspiracy theorist scene being in bed with Russia (or rather, has been infiltrated by Russian operatives long time ago). Its all the same however, it works to weaken US' presence, role and status from within. And these people call themselves patriots? Talk about pinnacle of absurdity, considering the importance of true patriotism during times like these.
The hacker(s) took a database backup from 2007. I have never worked anywhere that has kept a backup that long. It is possible it is some sort of final archive before a large migration, redesign, or something like that. However if the intent is to keep it forever it should at least be encrypted. As far as I'm aware, the only strong reason to not enable encryption on backups is to allow a secondary backup or mirroring system to compare the changes between backup files rather than reprocessing the entire thing as a single new file. That reason disappears for an archived backup.

Non-charter/magnet publicly funded schools cannot select/reject children based on their demographics or aptitude. The most they can do is have a preference based on locality or the presence of a sibling in the school - which can and does introduce its own selection bias.

Ultimately, the public school system has to serve students who have been excluded from more selective schools, otherwise you end up as a society where the most basic education is a privilege instead of a right.
I’ve had a few frontend engineering candidates quiz me as to why our backend is written in Python and not JavaScript, and implying that Python is “legacy”. This is not true, but there are developers who think that.
Someone might argue that people shouldn't engage in activities that have a strong probability of creating responsibilities they can't handle, no matter how good those initial activities feel.

In other parts of society we'd say "Don't do the crime if you can't do the time."

I know this is a very unpopular opinion the world over right now, but: This applies loosely to sex as well (Don't have sex if you can't afford to have kids).

Time will tell, but at least NPR takes it serious enough that they added their "opt in" page[1].

You can access the raw DOM node from a React component.

On component mount/unmount, you can apply a jQuery library to the DOM node and optionally clean it up.

It's the same way you can wrap a <canvas> node with a React component and otherwise do all your draws outside of React (like for a game). This way the node is still integrated into your React app but React does nothing more than create/remove it.

Why should we be clear about that? You know it is just turtles all the way down right? The goal here is to break a _cycle_ which this school is hopefully going to do by focusing constructively on what works to help these kids be better parents themselves one day. Beyond deepening our understanding of helping these kids I'd actually argue scrutinizing the parents has only negative utility and should be avoided at all costs (unless vilifying poor/uneducated parents feels useful to you as an end unto itself).
Depending on the state, there's no requirement for charters to accept everyone like a normal public school.
Ontario recently cancelled their experiment with universal income. Which points me to the fact that even if UBI becomes reality at some point, it's only one government away at any time from being cancelled or adjusted. So your livelihood at any given time is dependent upon government balancing its books. Considering how bad many modern developed governments are at doing this, it gives me little hope of UBI being any sort of good, substantive thing happening in the near future.
To the best I could determine, the OEM part only uses the two large studs (each side). It does not require use of the strut mounting bolts. Unlike the Steeda part, partial disassembly of the strut system is not involved with the OEM system. For additional rigidity the Ford part has a supplemental brace to the firewall.

Are you sure the engineering surprise is attributable to Ford?

Can you formulate this in a less meaning-amorphous phrase. "Prevent ecological destruction" in this context can mean every thing imaginable.
I see your point. If you make great content/product users should somehow learn about it in order for your business model to work, because no users means no money. You can assume that people will just get so excited about your product that they will just tell other people about it, share links, post social stuff, so that the growth happens organically without all that "marketing bullshit". And it does happen organically. The problem is that even for very good products such organic growth is way too slow because it has exponential nature (very slow in the beginning, quickly accelerating only at the end), so you run out of money before hitting profitability. There are outstanding examples of products that quickly became viral, but these are extremely rare cases. Hoping for this luck is like hoping to accidentally build next Twitter. In other words, you shouldn't hope for it if you're serious about your business. You would need something that propagates awareness about your product in a more manageable way than pure luck. It's called marketing.
I feel the same way. Unfortunately, being a Christian and especially - an Orthodox one is not popular these days especially among those who are traditionally Orthodox nations such as my homeland Bulgaria. Western materialism is our doom and I hope more of us see it!
Why not create community 'owned' housing, similar to a worker co-op, where poorer communities collectively 'own' the location. Everyone pays area-rental fees, but each month rented = 1 share ownership. Once the mortgage is paid off, the rent goes towards buying more rental properties and rinsing/repeating. A % of all rents is divided out by shares to each renter or ex-renter. A % could also go to LeBron's public school as a donation.

Obviously the longer you stay at a place and the smaller the place the more shares you'd have in the place. Shares could also = voting rights on properties/etc... More votes = louder voice.

Think of it as privatized (not government-ran) socialism in the real estate market.
There’s no need to be so rude. I’m not being obtuse; I understand their point, I just disagree with it.

The internet itself is not degraded by some major news sites being slow. Their misuse of their part of the internet doesn’t affect it overall, thus it is not tragedy of the commons. Most of the websites I use on a day to day basis (GitHub, Stack Exchange, HN, most smaller blogs that I find through HN, etc.) do not have this problem. The experience of those sites isn’t made worse by other companies’ sites being bad so, again, it’s not a tragedy of the commons.
As long as you pay teachers overtime for all the extra hours they'll be working to put together curriculum for your longer school days, I'm in. It's not just students who have to be working during those hours, it's also teachers.
Besides the license think about registering a trademark. That way Docker, Linux or git manage not to dilute the name (see e.g. https://www.git-scm.com/about/trademark ).

As for the code, if it's open source anyone can fork. But with trademark they'd have to rename the project.

The English is really bad in this, was this article translated or something?
For now, we are still in research phase so we compile to C then machine code on our dev desktops.

In the future we will probably stay with C or use C++ (for zero cost exceptions).

We might not need Objective-C because the UI/UX part is taken care of by Status React[1] which is written in ClojureScript (and it's currently using Go as an Ethereum/Web3 backend).

The options to compile to Objective-C or JS are still there and that is very nice.

fantastic.
Yes, I can. But I think it's clear enough already, especially in contrast to the supremely vague assertion about economic ethics.
But IntelliJ and Eclipse (depending on the language) run compilers to do code checking right?
Certainly too many text editors don't work very well with large text files which is a bit funny.

There is an inevitable (if nothing is done), slowly unfolding tragedy in motion right now. You are the one that is reacting irrationally, in spite of the number of words you've thrown at the problem.

Your sentiment really embodies the worst kind of free-rider: "you shouldn't worry, because other people have solved problems for me in the past".
Harassment is a distinctly different action than putting out ideas that people don't like. Harassment could be done using speech, but is not a free speech issue.

You could harass someone with ideas they agree with by spamming or other means to create disturbance in social media or other forms.
It's shit like this that tells me we deserve another AI Winter. Just at the very least to drive out the dilettantes and charlatans.
> Just don't give them textbooks.

Is this true for libraries too? I was really bummed awhile back when I gave my local library some very good CS canon type textbooks and never saw them go on the shelves alongside the current crop of "Python for Dummies" type stuff. Is there any way to help them separate the wheat from the chaff when you donate?
Would be interested to know how many backend engineers would say something so silly.
Git-aware code styling
Longer school days might help kids with stressful home environment but it also poses risk to bonding b/w kids and parents especially for parents who are able to provide and are working towards holistic(moral, etc.) development of their kids. Longer school days should be optional with extra curricular activities to fill the later part of the day.

The problem with pinning responsibility on that parent is, the original decision that led to this situation may predate the parent. Maybe they were raised by a single mom with many siblings and not enough resources too. Maybe they live somewhere deeply conservative where contraception isn't taught about. To act like the parent is wholly responsible is unrealistic and naive.
No, it sounds like you're arguing that the child should bear the burden of the parent's bad decisions. Ever hear the phrase "sins of the father?"

The fact is the child has no control over their home environment, and you're effectively damning them to a life of lower achievement based on the fact that their parents can't afford enough bedding. Is that really the kind of world you want to live in?
