If your definition of legitimate includes government use of chemical weapons against their people, I suspect we are not going to agree on much.

Regardless, a little history lesson. One of the things Obama ran on was that the United States policy towards Russia was needlessly antagonistic due to the influence of evil neo-conservatives. Hillary went so far as to buy a staples "Easy Button" and present it to the Russian diplomats in her fist meeting with them afterwords... The same HRC that the Russians just mucked with massively during the last election.

I've really come to the conclusion given their support and attacks against both Democrats and Republicans, White and Black, liberals and conservatives that the current Russian government doesn't care about helping a candidate - they want to destroy the civil fabric of the United States.

So yes, enabling dictators to gas their own people, encouraging race riots, and attempting to subvert Democracies by interfering with elections are Acts of war.

Body based coping strategies are helpful those moments. Try sticking your hand in a bowl full of ice water and leaving it in there for a few seconds, or taking a very cold shower. Some folks even do something called Ice Diving, where they place their entire face into a bowl of ice cubes and water. This actually triggers the diving reflex and it automatically calms your body. But you have to be in a place (like home) to do that. Other body based techniques can be used too that utilize other senses such as smell and taste. Fire ball candies are a portable option, and I've seen some people carry around tiny packets of pepper. You have to experiment a bunch to see what works for you. All of these ideas are derived from DBT. Behavioral Tech is the official company of all things DBT if you want to know more about all of it.
How I won $50,000 in a pitch competition
>.> bad parenting letting their kid rack up 100k in debt.
I've always thought the fact that The Sims was fun was a masterwork of good game design. Especially early in its life when it had fewer of the more fantastical additions - it's a game that simulates normal life down to some pretty mundane details. I mean, the game even started out as an architecture simulator and not an actual game!

Yet, I sunk many hours into the first game as a kid and enjoyed 3 and 4 as an adult (2 was a bit of an in-between for me). Ironically, I think it's the life simulator aspect that makes it fun. It's an escapist sandbox where you can play out "real" life without consequence. Maxis was smart to realize that what was fun was the player's choices, and not so much the game mechanics itself.

Its strange, we have a solid fibre connection in Thailand and have ~20mbit upstream to Singapore. It's not like we are in a shack on a mountain in Peru on a dialup modem. Slack is the only service we use thats ridiculously slow for us and we use a lot of US based services.
Maybe you could do history or classic literary fiction to combine the enjoyment with a somewhat educational feel.
For around ten years I didn’t read much, not because I didn’t want to, I certainly did, but because it takes too long. I get up at around 6am, get home from work at around 5pm and then I have daily chores mixed with family stuff for 3-5 hours. Not much left after that, and I’m not good at setting fixed hours for specific hobbies, so reading a whole book just didn’t work out for me.

I soon found that even if I managed to pick a book up, it’d have to be really great for me not to start questioning if it was worth the time.

I did take a few courses related to work, where I had to read books and articles, but I don’t count those because they were part of studying, so reading them had a specific purpose of getting me good grades at whatever certification/examination came with the course.

Then a few years ago I started listening to audiobooks, and it’s really changed things. Now I “read” one or two books a month. Sometimes it’s stuff like Sapiens, other times it’s the new world of Warcraft novel, but both kinds have really improved the quality of my life. I do have two hours of commute each day, where the audiobook fits in perfectly. I used to fill it with music and podcasts, but for me the books have been a huge improvement exactly because of the depth.
I was thinking the same thing. I believe with the latest changes in the algorithm this should be even harder.

You definitely can't trust people's self-evaluation either way. Lots of really skilled people are self-critical. "Reading people" of course helps but it is nowhere near enough.

It's actually extremely easy to detect. Even if you change verbiage and move around paragraphs. Most sham content providers are much more sloppy than moving paragraphs around, and will just use a thesaurus to modify verbiage. This typically makes it extremely easy to detect. Because, even though a word might be a synonym, it might not work grammatically in it's context.
If they do, you respond with a counter-notice. nce you respond with a counter-notice, your provider needs to restore the content unless the copyright owner initiates legal action.

It's a backhanded compliment. I agree that the author thinks he showing appreciation but that is insulting. It's the same inherent condescension that I've seen a lot of Americans show towards foreigners.
I am also having this exact problem
I semantically autocorrected to "I feel discomfort and unease".

Something about it being the same number of words and the least letters' difference; I can't rule out the possibility of a 'y'/'e' error.
"Echo chamber" seems to be the wrong word; the problem seems to be more like who gets the megaphone. The article talks about "superposters".

> "even if only a minority of users express vehement anti-refugee views, once they dominate the newsfeed, this can have consequences for everyone else"

Do this kind of thing in the real world and generally it's met with silence; uncomfortable, disapproving silence. Or people organise tiny pro-racist demos and are outnumbered by counter-protestors.

On the internet, a silent majority is invisible. To stop these people dominating the newsfeed, you have to actively drown them out, which means being louder and more effectively clickbaity for the algorithm that decides how loud you get to be.

(We should also not over-estimate the mainstream; it's probably very mainstream to have misgivings about refugees, but that's a long way from actual violence.)
I bought the album when it came out, and I certainly thought it meant a child, and so did most people as far as I can tell. After all, that's what it says, and interpreting baby as an endearment would mean the line made no sense given how the term baby is used.
If it's based on the other content, then it is a derived work and copyright infringement.

Keep in mind that copyright is for creative works. Facts can not be copyrighted. In a news article, it is the expression of the facts that covers the copyright, not the facts themselves. So you can definitely write an article stating the same facts as a Reuters press release (and be even based on that press release). You just can't base your prose on their prose. You have to completely rewrite it as a human -- it has to be an artefact, not an automated process.

However, there is another class of copyright for collections. A collection of facts can be copyrighted. You can't copy the same collection of the facts, nor a substantial portion of the collection. You can take individual facts out of the collection and include them in a creative work, but you can't just grab facts one at a time and create a new collection -- that would be a derived work.

Like all laws, copyright law is subject to interpretation by humans (lawyers and judges). While you might think that you are satisfying the law, they may disagree. To avoid that circumstance it is best to stay in an area where it is obvious to everyone that you are within the law. If you don't mind being sued, then you can try to push the boundaries. It is your choice.

As someone who went to their doctor (experience summed up elsewhere in this thread), I'd say there are merits to following internet advice with regards to this subject.

I don't think a doctor would've given me the time of day.
This times a thousand. To justify an entire book on their thoughts, which aren't that deep, they write a long winded book, when 2-3 articles would have sufficed. Or worse, the book was based off their 2-3 most successful articles.

You can both "feel discomfort" and "feel uneasy", so I think it works.
It's possible, even easy, to insert fake attestations that biometric B corresponds to identity I. But an append-only log has the advantage over other databases that a simple older-record-wins heuristic is likely to prefer genuine identity records.

A regular database has no way to make it infeasible to insert fake old records. Sure, you can publish checkpoints. But that doesn't work so well when you're up against a government that wants to erase your entire ethnicity.

Mounting an SLR lens to an iPhone sensor would produce worse results than using the default lens. The imaging sensors used in cell phones are much smaller than SLRs, so you'd need to get a much wider angle lens. Then, you'd only be using the center of the lens, which the sensor would outresolve anyway.
That's a crazy evaluation, is that company really worth 7.1Instagrams?

It really is a nice product, but it feels like a 'First-To-Market' success story. Especially since it's built on top of electron, which I'm still trying to accept as a real platform for application development, and not the '3d printer' of the software world.

I hope they don't use this money to feature-swamp the app, and instead focus inward on performance and migrating to a more stable platform.

I've tried a lot of different kinds of pot (it's all legal in the PNW) and I've never experienced the good feelings other folks I know do. It's just not pleasant for me, and it's a little grating to have to repeat this to my pot advocate friends; great that you get something out of it, but the reaction to my experiences that I just haven't tried the right kind is frustrating.
Discord is MUCH better than Slack. But since it's primarily aimed at the gaming community it doesn't get the same audience.

Discord has a huge image problem. I won't touch it with a 10ft stick or even mention it in a professional environment. Besides that it's very annoying that it's a complicated mess that has no real focus.
They onboarded the early adopters onto their platform with a promise of openness, got them to switch their company, and now that they're locked-in it's time to tell those early adopters to eat shit.

I believe there is another case, very similar (also involving a closed loop): If you pass a (properly oriented) magnet through or even across the opening of such a loop, an electrical current will flow around the loop (while the rest of the atomic bits will stay more or less in the same place ;) ) and no charge will accumulate.

(This caught my attention because I had up to that point believed that electrical fields are always conservative, and this demonstrates that not to be true: an electron traveling around the loop in such a manner will eventually return to its starting point having done non-zero work)

Was halfway through an almost identical reply when you posted this haha (also enjoyed Sapiens!).

I think the level of absorption is as high if not higher than reading but I have been wondering if it 'counts' (and wondering what I mean by that).

With audiobooks we're not practicing the physical scanning of words (assuming that's a skill which can deteriorate) and difficult sentences are definitely easier to follow when stressed by a good voice actor. That said I think we're still picking up vocabulary, empathizing and learning which feel like the biggest wins of reading a variety of books.
I wouldn't necessarily call that a panic attack. Panic attacks are a physical manifestation of some underlying anxiety. I've, personally, never been able to focus on any other thought than the fact that I feel like I'm going to die when I have one.

I would recommend speaking to people about their problems. You will discover something eventually. Once you've identified a problem, then it's time to design the solution. You might not necessarily need front end dev skills - there are all kinds of apps that let non-coders piece things together so that it's a functioning solution.

Check out https://bubble.is/. Validate your solution and then when you need additional horsepower, it might be worth hiring developers. I've a friend who builds software with offshore resources. They do work for big names such as Spotify but also startups as well so happy to connect him with you.

There is such a game. Eco. I bought it. Did not like. The only way to ethically exist in the universe was not to play. I learned that long ago from a different game.

Interesting read (no pun intended). I find that it is hard to read something when I'm thinking about other things, which is to say my mind wanders into other areas while reading so I lose track of where I am. But on the flip side when I'm fully engaged I have a hard time stopping reading and that can lead to some late nights where resting/sleeping would have been a "better" use of my time.

My biggest challenge has been with what I consider poorly written documentation for things. If I'm really busy and just want to use something to get one thing done, but can't because I have to read the documentation thoroughly in order to understand the special way a particular tool works, it can be excruciatingly difficult to force myself to read that.

I use Discord in place of Slack for hobby/non-professional projects.

The problem with Discord tbh is I've found it to be less reliable than Slack in terms of uptime/push notifications. It also has fewer devop functions prebuilt which means building them out.

Not a big deal if you are a hobbyist, is a big deal if you are paying people $100+/hr to do it.
You have exactly the same problem with "blockchain". Whatever solution you propose for this new blockchain can equally be applied to write a git merge driver for this new git repository.

If your solution is "proof of work", then you have the additional problem that there is a large group of people with significant computational power who can take over your new blockchain for the appropriate fee.

Very unlikely , I'm not aware of Slack being an Innovation Driven company. I've seen nothing from them in the Open Source World.
And honestly, how hard can it be? Put a 5 man team on it and in a few months it'll be done and workable. Few million down the drain but your software is insanely more useable. I guess that doesn't sell the service...
We use Discord instead of Slack for work. It works well, most of the time. But it's not a perfect solution, and some bots / things that are just a few clicks away in Slack we've had to build out manually. That said, prefer it to Slack anyway.
Also the devices are really designed to foster reading and not flitting around.
