It looks like the plane never left the runway.

I have had some fear of flying.

Read up on the science of turbulence and how robust these planes are. I occasionally still get waves of fear esp when they are descending fast with turbulence. But after really studying what turbulence is and how strong planes are engineered you will realize that it is very very unlikely turbulence would ever take down a plane.
> Everybody who believes that African Americans are on average less intelligent than "white" people is, prima facie, a white supremacist;

This far, you might be arguably correct in that prima facie refers, essentially, to a conclusion that is justified by a piece of evidence unless rebutted by some other counterevidence. But the manner you use it here suggests that your intent was to use the sense of ipso facto rather than merely prima facie, and that's clearly not correct: it is quite possible to think that the are on-average ability differences between races with whites being advantaged over blacks (or some other race, or even most advantaged of all races) in one or more dimensions without being a white supremacist.

> that's what the term means.

Even to the extent that your prima facie claim in the foregoing independent clause could be argued to be correct, this little tag is not. “White supremacist” does not mean “person who believes that African Americans are on average less intelligent than ‘white’ people.”

It means [0] ”a person who believes that the white race is inherently superior to other races and that white people should have control over people of other races”.

Both of these can be true at the same time. Companies donate to both political parties all the time, that doesn't mean they don't have a preference. The Koch brothers have given money to Democrats, but they certainly prefer Republicans in power.

Putin said he wanted Trump to win in Helsinki [1]. We also know the RNC was hacked [2]. That those emails weren't released in the same manner as the DNC's seems like evidence the scales were being tipped.

You're completely right. It would be a great way to tell them apart.

The normal kids will be the ones who resent you for inflicting pain and misery (as they understand such) on them for no reason they understand. The sociopaths will be the ones who figure out what you are hoping to impart to the children and regurgitate it back at you.
I remember back in the early 2.4 days. Nvidia was the only way to play games in Linux. Things sure have changed.
I can relate to this. What it really came down to with me was that I felt anxiety not about the plane crashing, but being in a situation that I cannot control. This mostly stems from my personal situation. I am a divorced dad of 2. I have access to my kids more than standard dad custody, but not as much as I would like. Most of my thoughts are around dying before I am able to see my kids grow up and make it into adulthood. I hate the thought of dying before they are grown and can have a real chance to know me on a deeper level than what parenting allows.
Every now and then I think my company is paranoid for having a blanket policy of never using a single thing from Oracle (even to extent of rejecting anything using BerkeleyDB, and only using OpenJDK) then I see things like this and it makes sense.

Often (usually?) when someone is coming to complain to you, they are looking for your listening/sympathy/validation/support, not your advice. If they wanted your advice they would typically ask for it explicitly. Unsolicited advice can come across as very unsympathetic and patronizing, and can really piss someone off if they were already in a bad mood (which is pretty common for people complaining about stuff).

A more appropriate response is something like “Wow, that sounds pretty uncomfortable.” Then you let them talk for a while. Listen sympathetically and let them say everything they wanted to say before trying to interrupt, and make sure they are receptive before offering unsolicited advice. Usually if you listen to their venting for a while they will feel better than when they started.

[Apologies for offering unsolicited critical advice in response to your complaints about your colleague. :) ]

Dunno what the quality's like, but it's there. It does seem like it would be tricky to scale to structures larger than the practical footprint of their printer, but maybe the thing could be mounted on wheels.

Yes, there are a lot of cultures that don't have nearly the same expectations that middle and uppermiddle class Americans do.

Even a lot of western Europeans feel much differently about their work and careers and success than Americans.

> but low efficiency has no business- or environmental- downside, then why be efficient with it?

But it has. Data transfer and processing isn't free. It works on electricity. You may think that a difference between 10KB (efficient) and 10MB (current web) is meaningless because resources are abundant, and it let you save couple hours of dev time[0] - but consider that this difference is per user, and you saved a couple hours for yourself by making thousands[1] of people waste three orders of magnitude more electricity that they would if you were a bit more caring.

Like plastic trash and inefficient cars, this stuff adds up.

> Then there is no native package manager

Isn't brew native? This time around (a few months ago) I didn't notice any issues with setting up a modern frontend dev environment. Not even the dependency hell I always seem to run into on Linux for modern web dev stuff.

> I'm sure others who have more experience with up to date MacOS can give more detail on this.

I've been using macs off and on since I owned a titanium powerbook G4 that ran Tiger (10.4). I've been doing web development during that entire time as well.

Most recently, I got a mac mini with High Sierra installed. I've only been using it for a few months and I'm seriously considering moving back to my WSL setup. I originally moved away from my WSL setup because, about once a month, it would corrupt my git repo and I'd have to wipe it. That wasn't nearly as much hassle as I'm dealing with on a daily basis on the mac mini.

My gripes, in short: Fullscreen mode is an abomination, network drives no longer work worth a damn, APFS defaults to case insensitive, my wifi stops working randomly until I turn it off and on again, ditto with the audio, Finder favorites disappear at random and the keyboard modifiers reset themselves at random.

When I configure something on Windows it damned well stays configured. I used to be able to say the same about OS X but apparently those days are behind me.

It's not all bad, though. The Mac App ecosystem is still the best I've ever encountered. I'll happily pay what Mac apps cost because they still run like a swiss watch. Unfortunately, none of those apps are necessary for web development work.
When you say multi-master can you clarify a bit of what you're looking for? We have Citus MX which allows you to read and write from any node removing a coordinator as a bottleneck on any write throughput. Not sure if it would meet your needs or if you're looking to solve some other use case.

Android makes Google very little money. It makes some money from advertising and app sells but until a little while ago, Google made more money from searches on iPhones than Androids.

> You're projecting an argument onto me that I didn't make nor claim to have. I didn't suggest or imply that all forms of capitalism uniquely generate fraud. They do exist in every system. You're angry with my phrasing not sufficiently hedging your concerns. You're also strictly wrong about how legal and regulatory systems impact economic systems. It's neither true nor true of how the literature evaluates said systems.

I'm not projecting anything, your statement reads as

> [companies will commit fraud when the] penalty for fraud is less than the profit of fraud. It's a fundamental feature of capitalism when untethered from objective assessments of value.

To me, you're saying that "fraud is a fundamental feature of capitalism, unless regulated", which implies that fraud is an unavoidable consequence of capitalism unless the authorities step in to prevent it. The tone of your phrasing suggestions specifically that capitalism is directly correlated with fraud. If you didn't intend to make this suggestion, I can understand your consternation to my rebuttal.

Capitalism has nothing to do with fraud. Capitalism has nothing to do with law enforcement and crime punishment.

> If we're in the league where "I cite a magazine article" is considered to be a useful citation proving your point, then I cite all of Dan Ariely's work meant for consumption by lay-folk.

To my point in that article, the 'evidence is everywhere' as illustrated by the broad availability of information to support my claim. Just look at the marketing around electric vehicles and solar in general; you'll see a strong unifying factor of 'economic motivation' in those mediums.

Here's the top result for 'why buy solar' [1]. Top factors are all entirely economic. Clearly, the marketing around these products would prioritize most people's primary motivation for acquiring those products.

I agree in general but there are some things which I don’t see going away any time soon that publishers need. Online advertisers want to know that their ads are being viewed by a human and not a bot, and that they were on screen for long enough and that the user didn’t just scroll past. Publishers want to know how far down you make it in their article, so they know where to put the ads in the body of the article.

I'm extremely extremely biased, but I run a company called Pavlok [1], with a goal to be more ubiquitous than the phone by 2030 (not quite 5 years).

We build technology to help people change habits, with instantaneous positive and negative feedback, and a digital currency called Volts[2] that rewards and pays people to do good habits.

Our goal is to sell the product in the initial phases (next 5-7 years), and eventually give them away to everyone in the world. One of our core products (unreleased) attaches directly to iphones and android -- I can't give too many details, but it becomes part of your phone.

Again, I'm extremely biased. But they say the best way to predict the future is to create it, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Surviving an extinction-level event would necessitate a fully self-sufficient colony, but could such an underground base keep on sustaining itself, let alone grow and develop for as long as it takes for the dust to settle, so to say? The timescales could be very long, I have no idea how long but possibly thousands of years could be too short.

A self-sufficient offworld colony is the best bet for normalcy and sounds like an overall faster and workable way for bootstrapping things again. Also, the technology developed as a precursor for offworld colonies would likely aid in things like detecting and diverting asteroids.

Colonizing the difficult places on the Earth, such as seabeds, sea bottoms and places deep underground, would be a good way to practise for the everyday life offworld (can't go out just like that, all food farmed indoors, strict trash recycling regimes, etc.) but I don't think it would be equivalent as a "backup".
