Sure! here are my counter thoughts: What if your site changes every 5 minutes, and is about 100Mb?

12x24x100= lots of mb per day

Wasn't the whole problem with a lot of utility/service providers people hate nowadays that they have government charters that mandate their dominance in the field?
>Ad hominem attack required because factual statements do not support any of your arguments.

No other statement is required to address yours because it's a naked assertion.

What does that have to do with the safety of my family?
I think the food is slightly overpriced but I would be willing to pay for high quality organic food. However, my key concern is how you deal with allergens. I am very sensitive to certain food items like gluten and dairy which makes it hard for me to find food when I travel. If you can handle food contamination and provide organic gluten/dairy free food, consider me a customer. I can totally see myself buying these for my trips.

BTW, when I say gluten and dairy free, I am talking about celiac friendly food. You need to ensure that gluten content is below 20 PPM.
that's a real specific Alex Jones policy
That's why it would be good to get paid by hour. When I was freelancer when things flowed I sometimes worked 24+ hours straight through or had several 16 hours days. But then I had other days when I got nothing done and took off. In a salaried position the company takes the long "flow" session for free but still expects you to be there the next day.
From that link:

> An image on a Web site depicts the floor plan of a building. The image is an image map with each room an interactive map area. The alt text is "The building's floor plan. Select a room for more information about the purpose or content of the room." The instruction to "select a room" indicates that the image is interactive.

And how does it help any blind person to know that there is a building plan, but none of the contents of the building plan are described?

Or am I misunderstanding the purpose of the ALT text?

>> I really doubt that corporate management is intending to be vague/confusing for the sake of instigating discussion or thoughtfulness in the title of mid-management.

I wish I had a source to quote you, my google-fu is failing me now but there's a school of thought that, in a mature organization, the primary role of the executive leadership team is to manage corporate culture. If the leadership team is trying to foster a culture described by the term "servant leadership", then they definitely would want to provoke discussion of what that looks like and how that's different than other organizations and cultures people have worked in.

Given that the radeon driver doesn't provide the same feature set as fglrx used to provide, with the same stability, it is surely a driver issue.
Even if we were to agree with such a right, you would have a duty about how you do it to reduce trauma to others and society has a duty to make sure it is a rational choice. Also, even in a world where adults would have that right, but I doubt those under 18 would without special circumstances such as terminal illness.
> I mean, what's wrong with SOME cities being giant skyscraper filled grids?

Nothing at all, and I get that some people dig that.

> Why can't us high density people get the 1% that WE want?

You can. What I disagree with is the moralizing tone that people take when others don't want their existing city turned into that.

> There is more than space for both skyscrapers and suburbs.

I agree, but this discussion usually takes place when people argue that the existing single-family homes should be torn down and replaced with greater density.

I'm probably overly sensitive because I live in Seattle in a single-family home. But it gets really tiring always being made to feel like a bad person for liking the way I currently live.

What happened to Katie is super sad, but hundreds of thousands of people get dumped and cheated on every year without shooting themselves. I totally understand your feelings, because I also worry for my children.

But I also try to do a few things:

1. Try to help my kids keep things in perspective. Don't hide the risk of pain and failure from them. Instead, warn them that such things will happen, and try to teach resilience.

2. Watch out for signs of depression in my kids. If I ever see them, I'll treat it seriously and get them help as soon as possible.

3. That said, I also try to keep things in perspective myself. There are so many big risks. The best I can do is care for my little ones as best I can.
> Candidates should be able to take donations but only from real citizens, and only up to a certain limit.

This is already the case in the US. Candidates can only take donations that are tied to individuals, and up to a specified limit per donor. And those lists (along with their employers) are all publicly disclosed, to ensure that companies cannot funnel donations illegally through their employees. (Incidentally, that's not true in many European countries, where corporations are allowed to donate directly without having to tie that money to an individual).

> Where do you think pac's get most their money? From corporations, billionaires, special interests..you think small donor's donate to most pacs?

There are a whole lot of PACs that are focused on specific issues relevant to particular demographics. For these groups, this is literally the only way for them to launch coordinated and organized campaigns to advocate for themselves, because none of their members is independently wealthy enough to fund it directly. Oftentimes, they're speaking up about issues that don't have the support of any elected official in the first place, and publicizing their message is the important first step towards building up the public pressure to get some elected officials on their side in the first place.

If you take that away from them, you're basically saying that they should have no right to speak out about the issues that affect them, but their well-funded, well-organized corporate opponents, billionaire self-funded candidates, and wealthy incumbent politicians all can.
> A possible (and plausible?) alternative story is that professor who are “better” require their students to use git and GitHub.

This is almost certainly the case.

I made my students use Subversion and then Mercurial along with continuous testing for homework assignments (back almost 10 years ago ...).

This "simple" (not really--administering Subversion was a PITA--Mercurial was so much better it was ridiculous ...) change made my students so dramatically better that interviewers commented to the on-campus recruiting about it.
"Personally I cannot listen to technical podcasts while I develop software"

Code doesn't run faster because it's in the kernel. The speed you're talking about comes from avoiding transitions in and out of a given space. If you stay out or stay in the results are pretty similar.

Except for your tooling. Cloudflare article from a couple years ago on why they don't use user-space network stack: https://blog.cloudflare.com/why-we-use-the-linux-kernels-tcp... and the tl:dr is a profound lack of feature parity. They use everything from iptables to tcpdump. If someone else worked on feature parity (they say it's too expensive for too small a gain for them), I expect they'd change their tune.

Wait, she's positioning to be the 2020 candidate? I mean I'd vote for her in a heartbeat, but I thought she explicitly stated she didn't want it. But I guess great leaders don't want leadership, leadership is requested of them.
I’ve been thinking about a crowdsourced superpac. Anyone can create an ad and then donated money funds its distribution on Google and Facebook ad networks. Kind of like digital picketing. Does anything like this exist already?
Little advice, it's the effort you put in that impresses the ladies more than the final taste. Adding water to impress won't work ;).

Your intellect can be "activated" in the pursuit of a superficial knowledge of Markov Chains to tell your boss or remember in the future that it might help you with problems. EZ-learning stuff will help you then.

Or your intellect can be "activated" in the sense that further engaging it leads you to deeper, more general knowledge. Is this website doing it? I don't believe so.
Same thing in London, people overextend themselves to get on the property ladder. Prices keep going up and up.
> “Most people won’t even know they’re being scanned, so there’s no risk of them missing their train service on a daily basis,” Dave Sotero, a spokesman for the L.A. Metro, said.

> “Most people won’t even know they’re being scanned ..."

> “Someone has to intervene, stop that person and check out what’s going on ... That causes delay, and it also causes a sense of invasiveness among the passengers.”

The problems with searching random people, including large numbers of them, is not the delay or "sense of invasiveness", but the article doesn't address privacy issues. It presents only one side and that is based on quotes from random pedestrians, not evidence or serious analysis.

It also accepts without question statements such as the following, which are worthless assurances. Even if accurate, they can change their practices at any time.

> “We’re looking for explosive vests, we’re looking for assault rifles. We’re not necessarily looking for smaller weapons that don’t have the ability to inflict mass casualties.”

Finally, the article uses many statements that sound like they were written by the PR team (as do the quotes from bystanders):

> They use technology that examines the naturally occurring waves produced by a person’s body

> the devices themselves resemble the sort of black laminate cases that musicians lug around on tour, not upright metal detectors
Removing dollar signs usually suggests to me "upscale and very expensive." Is that what's intended here?
The budgets are smaller than I thought they'd be over a 2-3 month period. Also, not surprisingly, a lot of these ads are really, really badly done. Misspelled words, bad contrast of text color to background, just unprofessional.

This isn't a government monopoly, it's more like a license.
This seems like a frivolous lawsuit to me. I would argue that the exchange/wallet provider is more at fault here (if applicable) for using poor security. SIM hacking/SMS intercepting is something that should be addressed, but these issues have been known for quite some time. Companies shouldn't be relying on them as authentication mechanisms. Seems like he is grasping at straws here since he can't sue BYOB (Be Your Own Bank).

edit:

I found the actual text of the lawsuit here, and it's hilarious.

The hackers also used the

Yep, AT&T totally at fault here!

Video games work for me in getting my mind to let go of the problems it's pondering about. Sometimes it's like subconscious I'm always working on some problem. Videogames at least let me forget/drown-out certain 'work'-like problems and allow me to reward myself instead with 'fun' problems. Walking often just leaves my senses empty and causes my mind to focus on the work problems again. Maybe a hike would be different as you are more exploring something new to keep your mind occupied.
> and then have it automatically boot the OS X VM with GPU pass through to the main screen

What GPU would that be? If it's integrated Intel there is very good chance it's wouldn't work. Last time I tried to get my Intel HD working in macOS VM attempt failed completely. As guys from Intel explained somewhere on mail list their Mac driver stack is quite different from what is there on Linux and Windows. This is why they for instance don't support their graphics virtualization (GVT-g) for macOS.

And for mobile GPU like Nvidia / AMD there own set of problems why they don't work at all in VM.
These two alone would cancel out most of the political ads I've seen.

Ah, when downloads were overnight affairs. And every morning a Christmas, spoiled only by a reset connection.
I see this as on par with banning alcohol to drastically reduce drunk driving. People tend to not support that one because they see, though they would likely never formulate the thought in such a fashion, that having the freedom to buy and consume alcohol is worth the trade off of people drunk driving and the lives ruined by it. Of course, other actions are done to reduce the harm of drunk driving, but people are not willing to give up alcohol for it. Many people, especially in the USA, view guns in the same manner.

I do find it odd that some people who hold the first view concerning alcohol find the second view as being immoral.

There are certainly benefits to staying private; no pesky shareholders to potentially overthrow you, less stringent reporting requirements and regulations, etc.

Of course, the reporting requirements and regulation compliance could also be considered a feature and not a bug, but those things are generally not considered a good thing for startups.
I never went to law school, but I did spend a few years consulting with law firms. And it was then that I learned to read critically. And strategically. Even after a PhD and some years in academia. However, I didn't read much fiction then. There just wasn't enough time.

That's the most horrible advice I've seen in a long time ...
Proxy purchases would be common via the informal financing system in places like Wenzhou. It's hard to imagine how the NZ government could possibly enforce such proxy purchases, especially since Australians and Singaporeans are exempt from the foreign buyer restrictions. Australia, New Zealand, and Singapore all have high immigration from China, and such immigrants can easily act as the proxies of anyone with an informal business relationship with a lender in Zhejiang.

I have "programming dreams" every night.

Probably isn't healthy, but I program all day at work. Go home and spend a few hours with family, then program an additional few hours every night. Sometimes I fall into the rabbit hole and emerge at 2-3 am after finally finishing what I started. Go to bed, and rinse and repeat the next day.

My brain just won't shut off at this point, but I enjoy absolutely everything about what I do.

My understanding is that skyrocketing housing prices aren't much of a benefit to anyone who doesn't own more than one home. Because you always need to live in at least one place, your economic elasticity only kicks in when the number of homes you buy and sell is greater than one.

Or - I know I thank my boss when I get to work on the things that I like, or when a complicated interaction with people outside the team is handled well.

Oh, i thought it was about parallax.
What you say seems to go hand in hand with the article's conclusion.

It seems quite reasonable that if you are able to easily see concrete examples of statements for those (and only those) where others can do so as well, then this would indicate a general alignment with the wider society and also be correlated with prosocial behavior.

In essence, if you're given a subjective, metaphorical task where the "correct answers" aren't entirely logical, then this enables evaluation if your subjectivity and your metaphors are aligned with the social consensus or not. As this task is very easy for some people and not so for others, then this seems informative about some objective property or ability of the test takers, even if "bullshit-sensitivity" IMHO isn't a very accurate name for that property; there are some people for which statement #2 is clearly not bullshit and there are some people for which it's debatable, and without labelling one group as correct or wrong, it illustrates a difference between two different groups of people.
These are already taxpayer funded

Would the amount of taxpayer funding increase or decrease under the GP’s proposal?

but without the advantage of collective bargaining.

Individually paying for something is taxpayer funded, unless you're Al Capone.

Not sure what you mean by this.

Strangely, my original comment was flagged. Here’s what it said:

Don’t you mean taxpayer funded?

3Blue1Brown is impressive in how it uses visualizations, cute faces, soothing voiceovers, etc. but keeps pulling you down the rabbit hole. So at the end of the video you know that you don't know stuff you either think you knew or didn't know existed. And then you start looking up Wikipedia and just getting lost in the music.

This is really really rare. Education as entertainment means that the goal is to get the consumer to feel good about himself, to feel like he learned something. You're getting paid (in money or kudos or whatever) to engage the consumer's narcissism, not his curiosity.
