screw parties (exchange screw for the f bomb). If you have any kind of convictions not a days its really difficult to go into crowds above 30. One person will be a complete idiot or disgusting and its either being able to enjoy the company of such a person or leave.

Im middle class (bachelors degree, not from a wealthy family) and the "medicore" , "average" person just talks so much shit out of their ass. Its like a public twitter forum where stupid cliches about "Trump is an idiot" or so much drugs and even orgies have become a not too crazy idea.

Can we have the 50s back without the racism. The people are not the same but parties are not the same either.

I wonder if the rich have stayed classy? Parties are like a rap video. Twerking being a phenomena should tell you all you need to know about the "party" culture in America.
If we don't block the consumption of caffeine in youths, why should we block the consumption of nicotine - a compound with similar effects?

i.e. Why is nicotine so much worse than THC, alcohol, caffeine, guarana, or any number of other stimulants/depressants?
I customized Word with a bunch of Macros, wrote a 300 page educational book in it. I had no issues and was quite productive. I may have been more irritated if I had needed to do a bunch of complicated layout work.

For the last year Word has actually supported LaTeX for math equations, see https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/murrays/2017/07/30/latex-ma...

But aside from that, Word is great for short and medium length documents, especially ones that need group editing. Put a Word file up on Sharepoint, and now there is user friendly change tracking and commenting.

I've written multiple technical specs in Word, it serves as a great way to collaborate, so long as everyone has bought into the ecosystem.

Banks love mortgages because they are easy, safe ways to earn a bit more than the federal rate.

Wealthy consumers love mortgages because it's a cheap way to leverage a huge asset for market-rate returns.

Normal consumers love mortgages because it allows them to buy a house.

Good luck taking that away.

Additionally, while access to credit raises housing prices, there's no guarantee that removing access to that credit will in any way make housing more affordable for moderate- or low-income people. More people would be forced to rent and it's possible that the wealthy apartment owners will engage in rent seeking and rents will just raise to match or exceed the cost of a mortgage.

That will rob lower income people of their biggest opportunity for wealth creation (housing appreciation) and increase wealth inequality.
Absolutely. First was the Apache commons clause license, and responding to random folks who assumed Redis was going closed source. Then the current issue of changing master slave termibology,and having to hear negative things from both the camps.

I do a cleanup periodically on my phone. I'll move most apps to a small set of folders on the 3rd screen (first screen or dock contain the most useful or used apps, second screen is for the rest). If I open an app on the 3rd screen, I move it to the first two or the dock. If, after some period of time any apps are still on that third screen, I delete them.

It's the same technique I use for clearing out my closet or other areas of my home and office. Pack things away (but still technically accessible), and if you use them put them where they should be stored for use. After a few months, give away, trash, or sell the remaining contents.
I just received this email from you:

Yeah, so I just marked your email address as spam. I never subscribed for any newsletter and there isn't any unsubscribe button either in your mail nor your website. Just stop.
This resonates with me. When growing up the 'parties' I went to or heard about were really just excuses to get drunk together, which, when you're not really into drinking culture, isn't very interesting. Actual gatherings where people came to talk and socialize were few and far between.

EDIT: I do have a different expectation for parties, but understand that parties have a spectrum, from people going to a party to drink/smoke/bump what have you to reach a point of near senselessness on one end of the spectrum, to perhaps a gathering of people in the same industry who are trying to "network" at the other. My expectation for informal parties is in the middle of this where people may drink but where it isn't their expectation that they will get drunk, and the discussions will be more intimate and not business related.

While there were arcade games gated on skill, I think there were plenty that weren't.

There are a lot of unknowns with your post, which makes useful feedback difficult. The answer could range anywhere from "don't worry about it" to "hammer out an agreement with the other parties first." Are you looking to run with the concept, or are you hoping to build off of code already written?

In either event, I'd strongly suggest speaking to a qualified attorney before doing anything. At the very least, you'll want them to review any contracts you signed, walk you through your possible exposure, and give you some recommendations for either minimizing or managing it. It's not a cheap move by any means, but if you genuinely want to move forward with this project, it'll help you avoid possible long-term problems.
> Wear a smartwatch that displays critical notifications

I cannot stress enough how true this is.

When I am out and about, my watch frees me from pulling my iPhone out of my pocket. At face value this may seem irrelevant, since I glance at my watch just as much, but there is quite a staggering difference in these two behaviors. When I use my phone, I unlock with Face ID, open Notification Center, tap a notification, interact with an app, swipe home, check Twitter, and so forth. With the watch, I simply raise my wrist. If the unread indicator is lit, I explore. If not, no need to worry; I just lower my wrist.
90% percent of the old folks. The smartphone and apps revolution made people workout more and way easier to get into it. How do I know? I am 14 and almost all my friends use some kind of apps, do they stick it? Well sometimes you destroy the habit but still you always get back sooner or later.
The problem is that you don't really have choice, these company created monopolies that are difficult to avoid, I wish I could switch all my computer to Linux, unfortunately I have to use software that works only on Windows, I have hardware that on Linux doesn't work well, and so on.

It's like who says that if the price of gasoline is too high we should simply stop using cars for a couple of days and the oil companies will drop the price, sure but what if I need my car to go to work ?

The real deal is that these abuses of dominant positions should be punished, a company like Microsoft or Google shouldn't be allowed to do actions aimed at damaging other small concurrent companies or discouraging the use of alternatives.
Agreed. Starting Strength is a great program to follow for anyone to geting started with strength training. The focus on big compound movements, short gym time and strength is perfect - especially as you get older. You can also add accessory stuff as needed (time allows).
This is exactly the insanity I expect from a man that have been haunted by an internet mob the last past weeks.

I think you're projecting and making broad assumptions with no evidence, based on your feel and the ever present "back in my day" syndrome. People have been awkward and people have been sociable before the internet, and people are awkward and sociable after the internet. Today you have people with their heads buried in their phones, 100 years ago it was newspapers. There is no qualitative shift, at least I will not proclaim so without evidence.

And yes, this article is patently ridiculous. Way to overthink something that should be about relaxing and having fun.
It really sounds like you have a problem with your system affecting performance. I have encountered none of the issues you describe. I even have an Intel Celeron 2957U with 6GB of RAM and an integrated GPU doing CAM/GRBL related tasks over RDC that runs like a top.

I also get the impression that you're primarily a Linux user who has to use Windows and is just latching on to any reason to complain about it.

> Because they've implemented those features in a managed runtime that is slow as molasses.

To my knowledge the Windows 10 UI is written using the C++ Runtime, not a managed one. The use of XAML is not an indicator of a managed language, UWP Apps can be written in C++.

> There are many things you can't even do with the new control panel.

Microsoft is gradually migrating features from the Control Panel over to the Settings App. As such the Control Panel still exists and is readily accessible.

> There are many instances where you have to wait for the control panel to fail it's happy path (e.g: printer auto discovery) before it just gives up and presents you a link to the old printer adding wizard.

And for most people the happy path works and is significantly easier to deal with. Not everyone is comfortable editing CUPS config files.

> the last major update took over an hour to complete.

How long does an distro-upgrade take you? Because that's the equivalent procedure. It really sounds like a problem with your system because the Spring Creators update too about 15 minutes on my systems.

> meanwhile the Windows updater doesn't even in-flight a second download while the previous package is installing

Windows 10 downloads all of the updates prior to attempting to install any of them so... what are you talking about?

> I've had Windows tell me I'm running out of RAM when I have >30% left.

Again, that sounds like you have something else going on and you're just blaming the thing you despise for all your woes.
The advice is targeted at people for whom “let it flow” is not as easy as it is for you.
I'd like to stress how important these two things are. I've been wearing an Apple Watch since launch in 2015, and my personal experience has been incredible. I've whittled down my actual phone use at home to next to nothing. Between the AW and a HomePod, picking up my phone is a rare occurrence. The only notifications I get are via SMS or iMessage, and calls via phone or FaceTime. I don't mean to sound like a fanboy, as I imagine a similar setup can exist with an Android phone as well. By curbing my phone use at home, I rarely feel compelled to pull my phone out while with friends and family.

I imagine this is more difficult for those who are tapped into social media a great deal, but I think starting to curb use at home can set a precedent to disconnect with your phone and it will bleed into your life outside of home. A smartwatch is a great way to instantly curb checking your phone by putting (important)notifications on your wrist.
I tried hulu back in the day when even their paid service had ads. Before this I was used to netflix.

Horrible!! They should just follow Apple and outright ban anything other than a wrapper around their own browser, like Apple does on iOS.
Other than some implementation tricks (optimizing broadcast joins, etc.), how is he wrong? That’s basically the definition of a JOIN.
Get a small phone. That 6.5" OLED is fantastic for playing games, checking/writing emails, or consuming whatever other media, so of course people are happy to sit there and do it.

It's like we've replaced every single chair in the house with a La-Z-Boy recliner and now we're asking why people flop in a chair for hours on end aren't as active as they were before.

Your phone can be a slightly inconvenient tool that you use as-needed instead of being a constantly inviting temptation to do nothing else.

Now if someone could make a 4" phone that isn't a disposable piece of trash, that'd be great.
Hypothetical: what if I feel like my addiction is literally just browsing the internet?

> The entire point of art. 11 is to transfer money from Google News (and other aggregators, like Facebook) to publishers.

The latest version of Google News has already solved this: it only shows the title and the image, not a single sentence from the article itself, – which was the main concern in Spain and Germany when the relevant laws were introduced.

Facebook and Twitter shouldn't face any issues as well, because they only display the value of the og:description meta tag, set by the publishers themselves.

I'm not sure it is, it seems to be focused on making other people think well of you.

> If you don't like social events then that is an even better reason to want to be "better" at them.

I like social events, I'm just not really fussed by mass gatherings so much any more. Further, why would I want to be 'better' at something I'm not really bothered about? That seems a little perverse.

I don't care for oysters. I'm not sure that means I should spend time studying how to eat them better, there are plenty of things I do like.

Personally I detest people who interact with others in a programatic way. Not perhaps the people themselves, but this kind of behavior. I feel compelled to snap my fingers in their face and say "WAKEUP! We're right here talking, stop performing!"

Please, please, please stop trying to be pleasing to other people. Just relax and be yourself. Performed, goal oriented, behavior at parties is hugely off-putting to me and most people I know (although I don't live in New York, so ymmv).

You may say something that's upsetting to someone, or is brilliantly insightful, or in retrospect obviously silly. So fucking what!? IT'S A PARTY, not a convention. It's this kind of attitude that there is a "right" way to be social that contributes to social anxiety. Fucking stop it!

And even better if you alias `git` to `g`!
In a script called `git-first-push`, on your path:

#!/bin/zsh

git push -u ${1:-origin} HEAD:"$(git symbolic-ref -q HEAD | sed -e 's|^refs/heads/||')"

This means "push the current branch to origin (or the first argument, if specified) to a branch of the same name, when this hasn't been done before. Set origin (or the first arg) as the upstream of the local branch". Formally invoked as `git first-push [remote]`, I just alias it to `git fp`.

EDIT: I've forgotten offhand whether there are actual zsh-isms here. It's probably bash compatible, but I always have zsh installed by the time this script lands on a system.

Zoning is the primary means by which supply is restricted in the US. That isn't facile, that is ordinary root cause analysis and reasoning in action.

Japan is proof that zoning doesn't have to represent a restriction on housing supply. But don't just dismiss Tokyo because you think other cultural factors are at play: Montreal, Chicago, Dallas, Calgary, and plentiful other US/Canadian cities have confirmed what Tokyo has already taught us.
I think Paul Stamets is going to be one of those genius we will only learn to appreciate after their death. Those pioneers that are so far ahead they get dismissed. His applications of fungi go from medicine to pest control, and probably also touch material engineering.

The one case where I can see it being useful is when 1 news site has some exclusive content that they post, and then every other news site copies the story by linking to the original and paraphrasing the whole thing. I see this happen a lot and I can totally see how it disincentives creating original content when every other news story just copies the story and users only read the first article they see about it.

> I know the governments in India/China/US don’t like black money.

for 99% Chinese, as of writing, the Chinese government doesn't care what they are doing when it comes to personal tax. the fundamental difference here is that 90% of the tax collected by the Chinese governments are from companies, personal tax including those doing family business only counts for a very small %. that is the exact reason why small business vendors all started accepting mobile payment - they know full well that there is no tax risk for doing that.

things only become different when you are the big fish in the pond - if you only have a few million $ worth of black money, the safest place to keep it is your local branch of the biggest state owned bank.

For anyone else as ignorant about this period of history as me, the Wikipedia articles are a real trip.

Geta -- murdered by his co-emperor and brother because they didn't like each other (aged 22)

Caracalla (the brother) -- murdered at the behest of Macrinus while urinating on the side of the road (aged 29)

Macrinus -- reigned one year before being defeated by an uprising that brought 14-year-old Elagabalus to power, ultimately beheaded

Elagabalus -- married and divorced five times during his four-year reign, including to the widow of a man he had executed and possibly also to a man; was assassinated by his own Praetorian Guards, beheaded, and his body was dragged around Rome (aged ~18)

Severus Alexander -- replaced cousin Elagabalus, did alright for quite a while (13 year reign!), but ultimately pissed off his military by trying to not fight the Germans, and was assassinated by his own generals, along with his mother

Maximinus -- made emperor by the Praetorian Guard, which caused the Senate to revolt; marched on Rome to put down the revolt, and was opposed by a series of emperors (numbered below) nominated by the Senate; ultimately murdered by his own military after failing to easily take Rome

(1/2) Gordian I/Gordian II -- father and son, rose to power while in Africa at the behest of the Senate; Gordian II was quickly defeated in battle by a supporter of Maximinus, after which Gordian I killed himself (reigned 21 days)

(3/4) Pupienus/Balbinus -- co-emperors after the death of the Gordians. Pupienus went out to fight Maximinus on the field, and returned to Rome successful. Balbinus stayed in Rome and fucked everything up. The two did not get along or trust each other, and ultimately both were murdered by the Praetorian Guard (reigned 3 months)

(5) Gordian III - Made Emperor at the age of 13 and sorta held it together for a remarkably long time, but ultimately died in Mesopotamia either at the hands of military enemies or his own army (aged 19)

I'm only stopping because I need to get back to work.
Not illegals. You realize that as an illegal you cannot legally work in the states right? You have no documentation, so anywhere paying decent wages would never hire you, because it's illegal and would open them up to fines and other legal issues. The only places that are going to hire you are going to do it under the table, pay you extremely low wages, and basically take advantage of you because you have no power.
The "implementation tricks" are essential optimizations.

Vaping is likely to be considerably less harmful than smoking tobacco just because there's so much less burnt stuff going into your lungs.

That doesn't mean that vaping is harmfree.

But your Wikipedia link tends to say that nicotine (other than being addictive) is mostly not harmful.
