Not really looking but I can create a referral option for my project. If you get someone to sign up for a whole year, I would give you 1 month of their subscription cost, $400-500.
You have to remember though, if a corporation is doing it, it's good business/capitalism. If an individual is doing it, it's greed or something similar.

E.g. wage negotiations.
I would not have guessed that the solar arrays beneficial effect on precipitation is dependent on them not being too efficient and so releasing more heat than bare desert (which is very reflective).

From the article - "The precipitation increase in our solar farm experiments is due to the relatively low conversion efficiency of the panels (15%, typical current conversion efficiency for photovoltaic panels), which results in albedo decrease. However, if solar panel efficiency and the associated effective albedo are high enough to lead to an albedo increase relative to the background environment (as, for example, a 45% efficiency would), the climate impact would be surface cooling with precipitation suppression, similar to the impact of overgrazing in the desert. Assuming an intermediate conversion efficiency higher than 15% for solar panels (e.g., 30% efficiency) results in negligible albedo change and, thus, insignificant climate impacts."

My government is literally killing refugees in order to make a public statement that seeking asylum in our country is worse than staying in a country where you face death from bombs, lynch mobs or government execution.

I think my interpretation of this Five Eyes directive as a lazy power grab is being extremely kind to the people involved because I'm implying they have a plan and are aware of what they are doing.
Gave it a try, and wasn’t expecting to have to execute via sudo on macOS. I almost never use sudo, so this stands out as quite unexpected for a developer tool. Is there something off with my system, or are sudo privileges always going to be required on macOS?

Edit: I pip installed it into a virtualenv, if that matters.
I agree with the first sentence. MacOS has hidden extensions for... ever? And MacOS is generally considered the easiest to use and most secure desktop OS. So there you go.
Hello Recruitment Team,

- My experience is based on major projects and hands-on projects. Here are few example projects:
* Online Medical services platform: https://gitlab.com/AhmedMajeed/Care_Point.git
* News portal: https://github.com/ahmedMajeed/NOON
* Stock Market Prototype API: https://stockmarketonline.herokuapp.com/

Here is a link to my Resume: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1z4gOsje9wRh-VfYpp1FF6hWmBZ...

I am sure that I can give a great contribution, just give me the opportunity to prove that. I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Sincerely,
Ahmed Hussein.

If you're so bothered to be there, why did you go in the first place? You know Prime members get an addition discount on top of sale items, yes? Do you enjoy paying more for your groceries?
I think the article took a strange approach. It focused on a complex piece by Bach. But most people don't find Bach pleasurable, and simple melodies can be very pleasurable, at least to most people. It would make much more sense to try to understand the simple cases, and then later try to figure out the more complicated ones.

Also instead of explaining musical pleasure in terms of non-musical concepts like emotion and openess, might it be at least in part to evaluations in the brain that are unique to music? We don't think that, for instance, tastes are pleasurable or unpleasant due to their connection to other matters, so why could this not be the case for music?
It's not an extinction level event because, like the humans which create it, technology is extremely adaptable to changing circumstance. We'll probably see TOR / mesh network like solutions to tyranny .
I have noticed that the cashier's have gotten pushy about asking about a Prime account, and very recently about a charity donation. It's a good way to 'make' people donate when asked upfront. I'm sure the probability of people donating increases. When I denied, I was asked if I'd like to round off my payment and have the balance donated. Honestly, it's very annoying. Whole foods is unfortunately becoming an REI store.
Agree - Amazon could very easily add a QR page to their mobile app, and install scanners at registers that fetch a customer's Prime account. No cashier questioning necessary. If you want Prime benefits at Whole Foods, scan your phone.
No, you don't live in the world that matthewmacleod described. You live in a world where the customer doesn't want to put up with the nonsense. We all live in that world.

But matthewmacleod lives in a world where the cashier will be rewarded (rather than fired) for ditching the script and just getting on with it. We'd all like to live in matthewmacleod's world, but I don't think any of us actually do...
I'd need to see evidence of your claims that (1) anyone getting paid minimum wage is not going to be highly dedicated or (2) that anybody working sub hours is not going to be highly dedicated or (3) that service jobs are "non career jobs" or (4) that service jobs are "unskilled" or (5) that there are a class of employees owed nothing by their employers or (6) unions tend to exploit the laborer and the employer or (7) what a "failed" labor union is or (8) unions ultimately hurt workers in the long term.

I am doing what I can to remove my emotional reaction to your comment, which I find to cast a wide and unfounded net, from my response. I apologize if I didn't do a very good job.
That's not the point; you don't get awards for purposefully and repeatedly violating company policy on a hunch that the customers prefer it.

And you're actually validating Amazon's policy: you're annoyed and yet you're still both a Prime member and a WF client, which means they lost nothing by annoying you.
Dissonance carefully cultivated by decades of lobbying, and ideological indoctrination of the, “better dead than Red,” variety. Look at how little effort it takes to convince people to go to war, lock up their fellow humans for using drugs, and tell me t wasn’t the easiest thing in world for corporations and their pet politicians to accomplish.

Just make sure that a large enough bloc conflate worker’s rights with the communism and then sit back and cash your checks. If the people get a little stroppy grow in something about race, abortion, or socialism and try not to smile too obviously all the way to the bank. If even thst fails punish the heretics amd reward the faithful, to the point that people desperate to keep their healthcare don’t even think of raising their heads.
All the other interest groups you mention definitely create the questioning and the criticism. They have just been more successful at permeating public perception. Almost always being complicit with the state. Doctors? Lawyers? Lobbying? They all get criticism.

I also dissent with the model of "everybody commits an act against society, why shouldnt anyone engage in the race to capture the spoils". Do not institutionalize robbery!

I've been playing bass and guitar occasionaly (as an amateur musician) since I was 15 and I'm now in my early 30s, I studied a bit of theory when I was learning and already knew how to build chords and also have a reasonable ear, last months I decided to learn how to read sheet music and study musical theory and jazz a bit more deeper, what I found is that now I'm way more confortable with my improvisation not being repetitive and over the same scales again and again and that I have a way better knack at finding the next note on songs that I haven't heard before, so my experience is similar to yours.

As an aside, I'm pretty certain that I'm suffering from frequency ilusion, I frequently find musical theory discussions at every place that I am used to read, where in the past it seems that this things were not that prevalent.
Civilisation is to a large extent constrained by available energy, which is why new energy sources have lead to industrial revolutions. As long as you're not spending other resources on it excessively any massive amount of energy surplus can be put to good, previously uneconomical and fantastical-seeming uses.

Given enough energy you could regulate the entire biosphere by brute force.

And if you ever want to get serious about colonizing space a stupendous amount of energy has to be spent just lifting people and materials into orbit.
And that's part of the problem.

I go to Super Duper in SF, and every time, the employee is forced to ask: "Have you been to Super Duper before?" If I say yes, "Welcome back!" if I say no, "Welcome!"¹. It is pointless. All I want is lunch. Want to see that I've been here before? You have my credit card number…

Material Design 2.0 in React Native with React Native Paper
I get it. I know that. It’s not the cashier’s fault. It just kinda sucks that a transaction as simple as “buying some food” is now draped in this nonsense.
Concrete has become ubiquitous, cheap, and increasingly poured by people (including professionals) who don't appreciate, let alone understand, the chemistry and art. Walking around San Francisco and other cities I see brand new concrete (sidewalks, buildings) with cracks adjacent to 30-year-old flawless concrete.

Someone attempted to parge the concrete foundation of my house (before I bought it), and it simply popped off. Reason? Everybody has switched to impermeable cement (e.g. Portland, Quickcrete, etc) these days, but my foundation (like most from that era) used permeable cement. So moisture and salts travel through the foundation, reaches the parge coat, and the pressure pops it off. I didn't understand any of this (including what parge meant) but it only took a few hours of bored Googling one night, when I was contemplating redoing the parge coat myself, to begin to wrap my head again things.

My neighbor had his entire foundation replaced. They lifted the house and I guess they did a good job. (I wouldn't really know!) I was chatting with the supervisor and decided to ask him if it was worth properly parging my foundation, and what to look for to know whether I was getting the right kind of materials that will work with my foundation. He had NO CLUE what I was talking about. Maybe I didn't understand the lingo and had some facts wrong, but even if so I'm pretty sure someone knowledgable would have realized what I was trying to ask. But, nope. The guy is a professional who specializes in concrete--maybe not an engineer but someone laying foundations which need to be structurally safe--and just... clueless. All he knows is a particular process, not the whys, not the alternatives. And much like with consumables, the culture is to simply replace, not fix. It's cheaper to replace than fix because that's what the industry is optimized for.

That's where we're at, today. Expertise is gone and expectations have suffered.

Right, so that's a median per-worker wage of around $22/hour. But $14/hour is right in the middle of the 2nd and 3rd income quintiles [1], meaning a solid 40% of Americans don't even make that much. It's not a very strong argument unless you're OK with current poverty and lack of retirement ability trends for large swathes of the country.

My go-to example for high vs. low compositionality is JSON vs. HTTP. JSON has high compositionality - if you want to replace an atomic value with a more complex value, you can use JSON itself to structure the new complex value. Whereas HTTP Headers were originally defined as key-value pairs, one per line, and had to introduce new syntax in an ad-hoc fashion. That's why User-Agent uses semicolon, which Accept-Encoding uses comma, Set-Cookie often uses Base64 encoding, normal form submits use URL encoding, but file uploads use the multipart form encoding which uses MIME boundaries. Each time the same problem came up (encoding multiple values, or values which may include delimiters from one level up in some kind of structured way) a new solution is invented. A natural language analogy to the HTTP approach would be a grammar rule saying, "when you want to use a subclause or a noun phrase, switch from English to Japanese." So you would say:

The woman is pretty.

But if you wanted to nest the statment "pretty woman" you would "encode" it by switching to Japanese like so:

The kirei onna is nice.

This example is absurd, but how is it any different than HTTP's ad-hoc approach to nesting, really? The HTTP approach quickly bogs down, while formats with high compositionality like JSON or YAML can be extended even to very complex structures; for example, the docker-compose.yml file or package.json.

Marijuana Use Rising Among Baby Boomers, but This Isn't Their First Toke
That's the new trend in many grocery stores.

Someone on HN or Reddit mentioned that grocery charities are actually a tactic to estimate the sign of the derivative of e the customer base's grocery-discretionary income, as a hint of when to raise prices.
Thanks for the perspective. It does help to not feel like we're missing out on something due to us.
At the Whole Foods I shop at (NYC) they already have that.
The other interest groups, with greater power and influence, have already institutionalized it. Should the disempowered simply refuse to engage, and suffer for it?
The charity donation thing has been part of WF forever. They do it on and off over the years.

South Park making fun of them for it in 2015: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aKsOwJ8AGWo
Yeah, I appreciate that it’s a bit of a fantasy world.

This happens at shops I occasionally use in the UK now too, and with some of them it’s bad enough that I actively avoid shopping in them if there’s any possible alternatives. Point is that this kind of incessant nagging is another metrics-driven measure that doesn’t necessarily have the expected results.
I would if that's what all, or even most, instances of modern political correctness were. It's also telling that the person trying to bully him into the change definitely did not treat him with dignity, by falsely accusing him of being a fascist when his family suffered and died at the hands of fascists and when his own views are the opposite.

Computer code can't literally enslave other computer code (at least not until AI improves by a lot). Inanimate objects can't cause or experience suffering to/from other inanimate objects. Abstract concepts don't have agency. A master-slave relationship is just an accurate and abstract way of describing certain kinds of concepts.
I don't know why you're being downvoted. I'm a contractor and my hourly rate absolutely depends on how good I feel about a project. Working on (useful) open source is a plus. I wouldn't go down to $20 though.
Even if Facebook actually wanted to change, intended to change and put time, money, and talent to the task this would still be a serious uphill climb. The idea that anyone could rehabilitate their image when they have no such commitment is laughable. Does anyone seriously think what this really isn’t just crisis mangement? Every quarter that FB can stave off inevitable backlash and regulation is money in their pocket, even if it’s only a decaying orbit. Like the tobacco industry in its day, delay delay delay because thst delay is profitable. If you can’t make your product “healthy” without throwing out your product, this is how you act.
VSCode: v1.27 (August 2018)
I think FastCompany and Forbes run a variant on this article every year. I guess that it is a way to scare more people into saving more.

For me, the question anyone should ask is this, "If I needed $2,500 right now, could I get my hands on it quickly and reliably?" That number has gone up a bit but it is the 'emergency cash' number of old which would cover "a major car repair", "bailing out of jail", "the entire medical deductible in one payment" etc. It is the equivalent of "If life throws you a curve ball can you catch it or are you going to get knocked on your butt by it." [1]

If you can't answer yes to that question then it is important to recognize that you are operating without safeguards which puts you at risk of cascading financial difficulties. And if you can't answer yes to that question to have to ask things like "am I paying for Netflix? More than a bar budget phone? Do I eat out? Do I eat pre-prepared foods rather than making my own? Am I getting the most use/wear out of the things I buy like clothes, vehicles, etc?" Basically assess each thing you spend money on and look for ways to reduce that expense or eliminate it. As a fun anecdote I talked with a young adult who felt it was too much to ask to give up Netflix/Amazon Prime (for the streaming), I showed them they could buy a DVD player for $35 and check out movies and old television shows for free from the public library. It wasn't something they had opened their mind up to. But once they looked hard at things they found a bunch of stuff that they could change and that helped them get finances into a much better order.

I like the Mr Money Mustache site for ideas on ways to cut down your 'burn rate' as well.

[1] This can also be covered by a credit card, if you don't have any credit card debt, which is to say you have a credit card with a $2,500 credit limit but it (and no other card you have) carry a balance. Basically if you pull the trigger you'll add a monthy expense for the next 'n' months to get back out of the hole you just made.
Read the source link. A concrete example (Citibank) is given.
I mean, not really. The Romans, as always, picked and chose the parts they liked and integrated them into their own mythology. The Roman pantheon was a superset of the Greek pantheon (among others), as evocatio was used as a final part of conquest. The Romans also stole the gods of their foes, and more than just the Greeks.

Roman culture, though, was heavily focused on superstition and virtue, rather than logic, and is not in any way a retread of Greek culture.
Yeah, it's definitely not "zero cost" - I'm one of those people who are often heard saying things like "not-taken branches are almost zero cost", and perhaps I sometimes say the "almost" part under my breath.

First, setting the carry flag definitely has a cost. The function will either succeed or fail, and the compiler will have to set the carry flag appropriately. It will be fairly rare that the compiler can simply organize to have the carry flag set correctly without adding an additional instruction: for example on x86 I expect you'd see a clc instruction before most successful function returns.

I suppose where the error condition is checked within the function right before return, and the check uses the carry flag, and the carry flag happens to have the right polarity for success/failure, the compiler could optimize it out - but that doesn't seem common!

However, a nice advantage of using the carry flag is that "checking" it is simply a jump instruction, no test or cmp needed. On x86 this is less relevant due to macro-fusion often making the test basically free at runtime, but still nice.

A disadvantage would be any cases where the error check doesn't happen immediately after function return: if there is any other logic between the function call and the error condition check the compiler will probably have to stash the flag somewhere since it is clobbered by most instructions (at least on x86). The structured way the error handling is proposed to work probably makes that a non-issue in most cases, however.
This is exactly what every WF already has. You scan a QR code from your phone on a scanner that faces the customer.

Miami can only be considered "hottest" because it never gets cold and you consider the average. It actually spends a long time near room temperature. Somewhere like Las Vegas or Phoenix gets both hotter and colder.

If we arbitrarily pick 70F as room temperature, Miami has a typical annual high/low spread of approximately 60F-90F or -10 to +20 degrees relative to room temperature. Meanwhile, Minneapolis has a typical annual spread of approximately 10F-85F or -80 to +15 degrees relative to room temperature.
I think it goes to the rich through systemic imbalance in companies and personal greed of those at the top. Wages should rise.

I don't mean that people should work hard until they die; people should be able to enjoy their lives while working -- hopefully at a job they enjoy, maybe more community oriented as their needs for large salaries to support families goes away.

I don't think that is happening, I think people are nearly destitute, and I see that as the problem.

YouTube (i.e., Google) already does article 13 (i.e., the extinction event is home-grown). Just today I saw a note from someone who got a takedown notice from YouTube after posting his own performance, done in his own home, of a Beethoven piece: the algorithm found infringement.

'Under Article 13 — the "censorship machines" — anyone who allows users to communicate in public by posting audio, video, stills, code, or anything that might be copyrighted — must send those posts to a copyright enforcement algorithm. The algorithm will compare it to all the known copyrighted works (anyone can add anything to the algorithm's database) and censor it if it seems to be a match.'
