There are many contributing factors to low birth rates.

1. Newer generation's extended adolescence

2. More selfish attitude (selfish with time and more materialistic than previous generations)

3. Lowered sperm count because of WIFI, Cell phones and ingesting large quantities of plastics and other chemicals, both from the goods imported from china and the pollutants in the air soil and water largely also from China.

4. High housing costs which are primarily caused by women now commonly working. A two income household can afford to pay much more for a home than the traditional one. So prices have risen to what people can commonly now afford (a sad affect of women giving up raising their own children, to essentially make nothing monetarily, but achieve a power that commonly splits their family apart from the resulting power struggle combined with the lack of co-dependence which traditionally incentivized parents to work through their problems at home, and consequently grow into better people with a satisfying relationship).

5. Kids used to mean status for women (and for men). Now it means you are a failure because you don't have a college degree and a career (very sad since raising a child to be a great person is actually the most important career that could ever exist. We are seeing the devastating affects in today's kids and young adults when child care programs raise kids).

Telling people to google something is rarely helpful.

It's great that Google shows noteworthy results for you, but that's not necessarily true for somebody else, possibly years after you wrote the answer. Also, unlike you, the other person might not be qualified to separate the wheat from the chaff.
Dead on. I make specialized softwre (one off for one customer). I'm always super amused to see how much the software my team writes is at the intersection of many constraints : budget, time, this group of user, that manager, those dev's, etc.
My best guess is marketing. Why did Apple call it's video calling FaceTime? It separates them from the competition.
There's a difference between self-control and a chilling effect on speech, though. I see no problem with someone being mindful about what they are saying and how they are saying it. I do see a problem with someone self-censoring a discussion or expression of an idea because of fear, especially fear of the government, or fear of other damage to their lives.

If people are afraid to express ideas simply because those ideas aren't popular (even if they aren't very controversial) I think the quality of discourse is lowered.

When a not-out member of the LGBTQ community can't enter a discussion or express something because doing so would tie that to their real name, having to self-censor because of a lack of anonymity becomes a problem.

I don't know that there is a perfect solution, either. Having full anonymity introduces other problems.
That's true of Apple - how about SNAP or SHOP? or a ton of other smaller software companies that most have not even heard of apart from the ones in the know?
How Ladar Levison Became Someone Who Said “No” to the FBI
Office suites, as the name suggests, are for office workers. You know, the kind of people who write stern letters on official letterhead, work on Excel workbooks, and give PowerPoint presentations in front of other people.

It's probably not the kind of job that a typical programmer would like to have, but there are hundreds of millions of these jobs in governments, schools, and corporate offices all over the world. I bet they make up a much larger market than all the programmers in the world combined. We need to get out of the programmer bubble in order to see why a seemingly obsolete piece of software like LibreOffice is still such a big deal. Just one country deciding on it as the official standard means millions of people will be using FOSS in a critical part of their workflow.

I did my M.A. and Ph.D. in the humanities and wrote both dissertations using Microsoft Word. My professors would have been very confused if I had sent them anything other than .doc(x) for review.
There's a presumption, I think, in this scheme that if loans for art majors are less available or attractive, the cost of an art degree will decrease. In which case you'd reach some equilibrium where the loans are not very good, but the cost is not very high, and people would still get art degrees.

Why can't that OS be one of the standard ones?

Sure, it might require special hardware and software (even your screen has it's own software and processing that it is doing on the signals coming from your desktop), and at the end of the day the OS would need to change and evolve to handle this new paradigm, but it's not impossible to imagine a system where the "PC" does what it does now, and just tells the "VR" sub-processor/sub-machine where to put the rendered "window".

Already there are some VR apps that basically wrap your normal "windows" desktop in almost a cylinder around you and you can move screens around on it as much as you want with current VR headsets.
Prosecutors might only take those cases, but they're not the ones making arrests. Police are. Once you are already in jail then, under the proposed scheme, the prosecutor's options become

1) let you out (drop charges) and expose the public purse to wrongful imprisonment damages,

2) take it to trial and lose, also exposing the public purse to the same damages,

3) take it to trial and win, which is expensive but at least looks good for the prosecutor, or

4) plea you out to a lesser charge, preferably one that carries a penalty of at least as long in jail as you've already served, so as not to expose the public purse to those damages

The last option is probably the best-looking one for a prosecutor. It's cheap, quick, and doesn't look bad for their bosses. I would think we would get more 4s and less 1s than the current system. 1s are good for the accused. 4s are very bad, but not the worst.

Again, I'm not saying reform is impossible, just playing devil's advocate on this particular proposal.
Cost of upkeep and maintenance (not to mention trained personel) is going to be very high if this isn't automated.

I figured the iOS bug somehow leaked credentials that gave access to GitHub.

Regardless, many of us agree that the title suggests GitHub as a central role to the leak. If, as other commenters say, it was just used as a file host.. it doesn't belong in the title imo. It's just there to pull in more views. It may as well been Piratebay.

How pedantic would it to argue a difference between standards like USB and mandates in discussions like these?

I've seen a worrying conflation between the two in online discussions about this topic for the past day or so. Negative takes towards this are met with at least one "without standards we would have a thousand different chargers, remember what it was like in 2000?"?

Am I off base here? This will come across as a concern troll but I'm genuinely curious about other views on this.
The same is true in NYC (and I strongly suspect it is everywhere else in the U.S., too):

You can’t say that his call to arms when they take our guns doesn’t count because nobody is taking our guns. Neither he nor his audience are constrained by the facts. He’s telling them that there is a large, active conspiracy to take their guns. They believe him. In that context, saying to be violent if they take their guns is a call to violence.

I don’t see how your quote applies. Inciting violence is not typically considered protected speech, and even if it is, getting kicked off of YouTube is not a restriction on one’s freedom of expression.
That's why you should always keep clones of your repositories hosted by a third party.

> Building VM images is just another step in the CI/CD pipeline, and patching and deploying a zero day fix becomes "kick off the CI/CD pipeline". You can even do automated unit testing of an image with tools like Inspec.

There is a non-zero cost in maintaining that process, including paying people to know and understand things like Inspec, packer, and Linux troubleshooting. There are also full OS upgrades where assumptions made could be invalidated, along with revising your process accordingly.

> Scaling is an API call to change a "desired instance count" value (if it's not already automated)

That automation is significant complexity. You'll be maintaining whatever health / resource checks are necessary to determine when scaling up is necessary, when scaling down should be done, what initialization / teardown tasks need to be done, etc. You'll also need some kind of health checks / monitoring to ensure this process is operating as it should so that you can detect if there's a problem with it. All of that needs to be known / understood / documented / maintained by someone.

And that's only for the stateless part. If you're trying to do with same with a relational database, it only gets tougher.

> and complex problems with any individual instance can be resolved with STONITH (terminating the instance).

Only if the problem is truly non-recurring and only in a single instance. Otherwise, it will be Linux troubleshooting to find out if it's your software, an OS patch, a third party software patch, or some other issue.

The headline's use of the word "put" has an oddly vague interpretation.

The first time I read the headline, I imagined "put" was in the past tense, which implied the recent past, i.e. the last 6 months, due to the recent political action. Which would give the impression that Trump was foolish and got backlash worse than the benefit he gained.

Then I read the article and i realized "put" is in the present tense, which implies this is the way it has been for the long time, which gives the impression that Trump is smart for just trying to catch up and make things fair.
> Instead of bail, they should just have steeper fines for failure to appear and yet on the flipside the same guarantees afforded to jury duty as far as employment (i.e. can't be fired for having to appear in court).

There's already a fairly well proven alternative to cash bail used in D.C. and some other jurisdictions: if someone is bailable after assessment for flight risk, etc., they get appropriate conditions for pre-trial monitoring and supervision, as bail terms, with no cash payment.
I think it's pure physics.

Trams are much heavier than buses so there would be more mass to be stopped.
In addition I think that vehicles running on tracks take longer to stop.

MIT Technology Review blocked in incognito mode
Why is MIT forcing me to exit incognito mode to read articles? There is no explanation, only this message:

"Hello,
We noticed you're browsing in private or incognito mode.
To continue reading this article, please exit incognito mode or log in."

I understand sites that request ad blocking to be disabled if they show responsible ads that are an essential part of their revenue model in order to provide quality content.

But blocking incognito/private browsing users is an unfair and dangerous precedent.

In this particular case, the problem is that everybody thinks that if you include women you'll get menstruation right. This applies both to Fitbit assuming we didn't need to consult a gynecologist, and to outsiders assuming Fitbit must not have put women on the project.

Good question! The short answer is yes, proofs are long. But it's complicated.

For one thing, there are a few reasons to formulate things with smaller answers - one is that there's not always a logical connection between different things, one is to know them separately, one is that if you fail part of a card, you want to only fail that part - and you can't do that, so you need it separately.

The thing is, with proofs, they are logically part of a whole. They do flow logically, one part after the other, at least once you know the big idea - given the big idea, you should be able to do the rest of the steps by simply applying previous steps (usually).

That said, reviews of proofs do tend to take me longer, which is not ideal. And I do let myself "cheat" a bit with proofs - if I know the main idea behind a proof, and am fairly confident I can develop the rest of it (especially if it's a calculation only), then I might consider it answered. But I am fairly strict that I really do think I could develop it.

For example, the compact sets question was something I recently failed. Here's why: the main idea behind it is to prove that the complementary set is open, and the way to do that is to pick each point, define a ball around it and around each point in the compact set, then show how that proves every point has a ball around it.

Now I know all those big-level steps, but when I tried to remember how to develop it further, I realized that I wasn't sure why I needed the original set to be compact - why doesn't this work with any set? So I failed the card.

One other point - I do use a few custom note types for some math things. I sometimes use clozes, but I also have a note type for "Multipart Proof", which allows me to split up a proof into parts. I almost always actually use it to separate the "forward" and "backward" directions of an "if and only if" proof, since they are relatively separate anyway, but I do want to keep the card logically together.
Indeed. Most of the measures taken are meant to improve safety in cities - obviously you're not going to create a shared space on a highway. The Netherlands has highways, but they're cars-only. Luckily, I believe the accident rate on highways, especially involving cyclists or pedestrians, is already far lower than in cities.
Here's a fun little exercise with the Toyota Mirai.

Read the spec sheet, and read the wikipedia article. They claim the thing can hold 5 kg of H2, at 10,000 psi.

Look into how big the tanks are.

The math will show that at that pressure, taking up that much space, you can fit no more than about 3.7 kg of H2 in there.

The difference between the diesel emissions and mileage scandal and the Mirai is that they actually made the math work with the former, as well as large enough scale for people to care.
