In the article, there is a link to a timelapse video on vimeo [0]. The "Steve" phenomenon seems to extend on an east-west axis, assuming that the "normal" aurora borealis in the video is to the north.

Two days before (May 06, 2016) there was a geostationary satellite launch by SpaceX from Cape Canaveral (JCSAT-14 / JCSAT-2B, positioned now on 154°East) [1].

Could it be possible that "Steve" is just residual exhaust gas from the recent satellite launch which may behave similar to an actual aurora phenomenon when ionized?

What do people actually propose as an alternative? By all accounts it seems like the media examples of things such as 'peeing in bottles' are extremely isolated incidents and not representative of normal working conditions. Anywhere that has hundreds of thousands of employees - you're going to be able to find some crazy isolated anecdotes.

The labor we're talking about is literally moving boxes. How much should a box mover get paid? The US GDP per capita is currently around $53k. Our box movers get about $13/hour which is $26k in wages alone. Imagine we went to some sort of dystopic economy where we took every single penny anybody made producing anything in this country and split it up according to what some person or group felt was 'fair'. How much should a box mover get? That they already get a 50% share is phenomenal in my opinion.

The mine analogy fails to consider that we're inching ever closer to a 0% unemployment rate. We're currently in a labor market, which is probably a big part of the reason why you can get $13/hour for moving boxes. And moving boxes isn't going to hurt you. Give me two people - one that moves boxes 8 hours a day and one that sits in a chair staring at a screen for 8 hours a day, and I'd give you big odds that 20 years out that box mover is going to be in far better shape, all other things being equal. Those first months and maybe even years though are going to be tough, especially for people with soft bodies.

I'll mimic what others are saying by saying that Designing Data-Intensive Applications is a superb book which you absolutely should read.

As for my second suggestion, I'll tell you one of the ways in which I go about researching certain kinds of programming topics. I pay for a Safari Books Online subscription [0], which lets me browse a massive amount of technical books without restrictions. Once I figure out the appropriate keywords, I'll perform a search and open all the relevant books in separate tabs. Then I filter the list down by looking through the index, or reading through a couple pages, to see if it actually covers what I'm looking for. By the time I've prepared this reduced list I usually have an idea of which books seem most interesting, and those are usually the ones I start with. Then it's just a matter of working my way through the list until satisfied. It has been my experience that most technical books are not worth reading cover-to-cover, so I just read through the few relevant chapters and move on. As with all things, there's definitely exceptions; I'd actually consider Designing Data-Intensive Applications one such example.

If you get a card from your local library you might also be able to get access to Safari Books Online for free, as well as tons of other resources. Although with my library card I only get access to a limited subset of their books, instead of the whole collection like with the paid subscription.

Another option, if you can't afford to spend that much money, is to just pirate a bunch of books or look em up on Google Books [1] in order to identify the ones which interest you the most, and then buy the ones that look useful, or try borrowing em from your local library (most likely through interlibrary loans). The market for technical books isn't very big and great authors are rare, so I think it's incredibly important that they be adequately compensated for their hard work, though. If you really can't afford to buy the books initially, be sure to at least keep track of the list so you can make the purchase after you've gotten your new job.

> In one case, a homeless man in Sacramento, California, living under a bridge received 190 citations from police (almost all related to sleeping outside and camping) and wound up being assessed $104,000 in unpayable fines. When he died of cancer in 2016, there were thirty-seven warrants out for his arrest. Whose definition of public safety does any of this serve?

On the flip side, the government is powerless to address chronic mental health issues without a paper trail. We all know that poverty and mental health issues are deeply entwined. The government can't just compel mental health care on a whim. They need evidence. Evidence like trespassing citations, public intoxication arrests, and citations for defacating in public. Evidence like 911 calls when a senile resident continues to forget to turn off the oven.
Shit, if I was an Amazon warehouse worker and had the chance to get paid the same except SOME of my workload was sitting down and shilling for Amazon on twitter, I would jump (well, sit) at the chance.

It's a different kind of demanding, more like being a commercial writer, probably more open to people who are damn good commercial writers and happen to be working as a picker in an Amazon warehouse. It'd be like getting paid as a picker but being paid to have breaks and worker rights.

I don't think it's illegal to do this, but it is as manipulative as it's possible to be. Therefore that's probably just what's happening there: if you can write and shill effectively on Twitter there's a chance that you get to do that and pretend to yourself that it's a break or rest period.

Very Amazonian.

In Italian you would say "ti amo" to a significant other. When talking about a person you may want a relationship with you would say "mi piace" (I like him/her). If you're referring to a friend or a relative, you would say "ti voglio bene" (which is a different connotation of "I love you").

If you're talking about something, you would say "mi piace" (as in "mi piace il cioccolato" -> "I like chocolate") unless you really like it, in which case you can as well say "amo il cioccolato" ("I love chocolate") or "adoro il cioccolato" ("I adore(?) chocolate").
> While it's true that there is undisputed epidemiological evidence as to positive effects of moderate alcohol use on health for some people

Where "some people" only includes women over 50, and "moderate drinking" means "three or four drinks per week" - far less than most people think of as moderate drinking, especially in the UK where 2 large glasses of wine a day is seen as normal.
It’s an interesting comment. Don’t be such a sensitive sally.
Or equivalently you might be praising a protocol for some excellent channel choices (to be accurate, this would be a response to the grand-grandparent comment).

The same account being both pro and anti vaccines would be a definite proof in that case, I have no doubt that propaganda has no problem being spread by actual people, however in that case we would need to read the full study to be sure.

On the one hand I agree, but on the other hand, I'd like to sprinkle a bit more of that endless optimism and assume that embodied cognition is the next logical step. Perhaps once these NLP agents are put into robotic bodies and begin interacting with our world more fully, they will "evolve" to attach "real meaning" to their language processing.

I think almost anyone who's spent significant time jamming/improvising with other musicians will disagree.

The statement is an oversimplification. It is an oversimplification that may be necessary for music to become tractable to machine learning algorithms, but it does more to highlight the limitations of current understanding of AI than anything else.

Otherwise a very interesting read!

FoundationDB had everything (launched or work in progress). SQL that was fast like NoSQL, No single point of failure, Scaling, Search, etc, etc... all built into one database. It was designed to remove the pain of managing many different components. For example, handling 'search' separately (via solr/lucene/cloudsearch) is a pain.

>Incredibly it's still not generally banned in the USA; only a small list of products are banned by the EPA federally.[0] It was increasingly banned in Europe from the mid 1980s, and totally banned throughout the EU in 2005.[1]

Like everything else, everything is deadly at large doses. Even water. Alcohol clearly causes stomach cancer too at large doses, yet alcohol is not banned, right? If we were to ban everything that leads to a certain point of toxicity, we would not be able to live with anything around us. Toxicity is factored by exposure, which is why "carcinogenic risk" is not a binary variable.

> Everyone is exposed to asbestos at some time during their life. Low levels of asbestos are present in the air, water, and soil. However, most people do not become ill from their exposure. People who become ill from asbestos are usually those who are exposed to it on a regular basis, most often in a job where they work directly with the material or through substantial environmental contact.

The ones who are at the most risk in regard to asbestos are workers in construction or demolition. And in most countries how they should work with asbestos is now clearly regulated (safety gear and procedures).

It should be like in Finland where fines are tied to your income. Poor people get small fines, rich people get big fines.

That is the most logical as a fine is supoosed to be a deterrent and it does not deter if you are super rich. It is also supposed to be a fairly mild punishment so if it is always so high that you can’t pay but have to go to prison then you are suddenly handing out very severe punishment for minor infractions.

I have worked extensively on the documentation for the Defold game engine (see https://www.defold.com/learn/). Here's a few things we've done:

We use Google tracking on the site. That helps a bit. We have search available on the site and we get the most useful information from how people use the search function. We get clues as to what users are looking for, what terminology they use and I use that to make sure common searches turn out good information.

I added a "Have a suggestion?" button at the bottom of each page. You have to be logged in to see it (because of bots) but it allows you to mark text directly on the page and then report errors and suggestions. We get a lot of feedback through it, much, much, much more than before when we relied on users sending their feedback or stopping by to talk.
Prosecutor: Suspect must give up his phone’s passcode in fatal hazing case
Rich Hickey has a good point in his Rails Conf 2012 "Simplicity Matters" talk[0] - json is just more simple than xml, as it clearly states which parts are maps and which are sequences. Xml has an inherent, implicit order in everything, due to its history as a document markup language.

If you think xml through the lens of jsx pragma style transformation, xml element and it's attributes are more or less a (typed) map. Similarly element's children is an (ordered) sequence. Where as in json you can have maps inside maps, in xml you always have to wrap maps inside an ordered sequence, as maps can only be passed to element as its children.

You can totally use xml without paying attention to the order, but the order is still there, complicating things.

There actually is for some items (basically old cell phones, game consoles, and other items which have a large demand on the secondary market) in Amazon itself -- the Amazon "trade in" program -- which, granted, gives you payment in terms of Amazon gift certificates.
The term you are looking for is called Abundance.

A few days back I was discussing this with my friend who immigrated to the US and settled there. I'm an Indian. We were discussing how his wife and kids, who are Americans just do not understand his perspective of things from a living standards stand point. The thing is sometimes its impossible to erase the effect poverty has on you. When you go through tough times, your benchmarks to save and invest get set based on the worst times your life has seen.

And then that spills over to every purchase or life style decision you will ever make. Be it clothes to car or whatever.

In India I've seen people who have been born in well off families a generation early just fail to understand why the people who have just come out of lower middle class/poverty don't take vacations, or don't buy expensive sneakers or gadgets or even dine at good restaurants.

When I worked in the US, I used to be totally floored at the amount of opportunities and abundance of every thing the country had to offered. To me most of the complaints US citizens had looked like cry me a river themed whining. Eventually I realized every one just get seasoned to whatever they have and that sort of becomes their new reality over time.

I’m currently staying at an Airbnb in London. For breakfast, I walked to the nearby neighborhood market and bought veggies and eggs, then came “home” and made breakfast. After that, I took the trash out, threw on some clean clothes from the dryer I had loaded the night before, stepped outside and now I’m walking through Hyde Park on my way to a coffee shop, where I plan to spend most of my afternoon. Later this evening I’ll be hosting a few friends at “home” where we will drink whisky and play card games in the living room and catch up on life.

Most hotels, in stark contrast, provide a very sterile environment that is completely isolated from the city’s culture and lifestyle.

I'm arguing for one of those, actually. But even though I'd like to see more resources focused on these problems, we can't just spend our way into good mental health care. When people are in danger or harming others, care and treatment sometimes has to be compelled. People have a right to their day in court, so some amount of evidence has to be gathered so judges can objectively rule on the relevant questions.
If your network runs services you can set your channel to require being authed with nickserv to join. Sure people can make a new account if you ban them but they can on a web forum too.

Or you can set channel so only voiced nicks can speak and de-voice a nick to moderate.

Or even make an access list so only specific authed nicks can join. None of this is ideal though I agree.

I wonder, the article says it's been visible for decades by photographers. We could correlate the time the photos are taken with rocket launches.

Also, there is no wikipedia page about this phenomena yet.
Your comment caused me to spend a bit longer thinking about this. I think I was wrong before and that in fact there's no effect at all of reducing the number of shares. If a company buys back 10% of its shares then it needs to spend 10% of its market-cap to do so. So company is now worth 90% of what it was, and there are 90% as many shares. So the share price stays the same.

But there's also a second-order effect of the buyback on the share price. If the buyback is a wise thing to do (the shareholders can make better use of the cash than the business) then the shares should be more valuable after than before. I think it's this rise in the price that corresponds to the effect of buying the shares on the order book.
