This is a really strange claim, from the perspective of someone not invested in any specific implementation of crypto or blockchains...why would the first product in a given (tech) category be the one that lasts the longest? That would be like expecting WebCrawler to be the dominant search engine or Six Degrees to be the dominant online social media site, or Mosaic to be the browser with the highest usage %. I can't figure out why someone would make this argument unless they have a personal interest in keeping Bitcoin's value high.
True, the 'French republic' was never a friend of regional identity and it continues today. Unfortunate that the policies have diminished the mosaic that is France and also for intergenerational links and the economic opportunities that were lost.

I think of my Alsatian colleagues that learnt their regional language mostly from their grandparents. That skill is still very useful on the other side of the border but you wouldn't know it if you ask the ministry of education in Paris: the dialect of the Haut-Rhin is relatively close to Baseldüütsch and for those that didn't learn at home, bilingual school opened the doors of employment to a lot of people there. There is a net regression of Alsatians who are functional in German, either dialect or standard. Good job opportunities in Basel are being increasingly filled by Germans as the generations progress, while the economy stagnates in France. Back at home, the regional reorganization of France under Hollande is unlikely to help efforts to preserve the regional language since Alsace has been incorporated into a mostly francophone eastern megaregion that has little interest to spend money on the promotion of some 'backwards' regional language or even the foresight to encourage a second language that is not English.

Anyway, the discouragement of regional languages is not only a problem in France, as others have noted. Next door in Switzerland, the regional patois like arpitan (a variety of franco-provençal, perhaps related to Occitan) were discouraged for a long time. Completely different to the approach adopted in Alemanic Switzerland.

My personal opinion: the desire to 'live together' starts on the local, not national level so more efforts are needed in that direction for a functional society and regional languages help.

I use it because the web becomes usable and fast again, and also because I don't want ad companies making money from my activity and privacy.

When they pay me, they can get some of my data. I'm just waiting for their call.
The trackers that generate analytics data for the ad networks do sell personal data and it is made available to anyone who wants to pay.
The difference between f(x)=...=0 and x=2, e.g. is quite huge for a lot of college students. The distinction between constants, operators and formulas is quite explicit in algebra. It seems to be a natural distinction to make. One advantage, I guess, is that a formula can be wrong, but a number can't, which is why proof by induction works at all.
TL;DR: Brave lied about blocking 3rd party JS and I no longer trust them.

The main reason I don't use Brave anymore is because I don't trust the Brave team to be transparent about what they're doing. I remember switching to Brave a year or two ago really rooting for them and the model they were positing. I though that blocking third-party JavaScript by default was a great idea - no more Firefox plugins! Well, I soon realized that Brave did not block all third-party JS and instead let "whitelisted"(by whom?) JS through. When I asked one of the Brave team members why this was so and informed them that I found this practice misleading at best I was given a song-and-dance about "rescuing the industry" instead of a technical explanation for the issue at hand(blocking third-party JS essentially didn't work).

I can't be bothered to use a browser who's developers can't be bothered to be honest about the feature set and how they work.

Same sad song as it ever was. Keep giving more control to the government and they'll keep ratcheting down the screws on you.

An economic union should be about tariffs and the free movement of goods, not an entirely unelected bureaucratic federal government. Centralizing authority only benefits the well connected political class.

Amazingly, they also offer official AOSP builds (https://developer.sony.com/develop/open-devices/latest-updat...). LineageOS is also supported on the Xperia Z5 Compact. GApps optional for the privacy conscious.
Their Github account at https://github.com/prowriting looks boringly normal. I wonder what could have caused Github's systems to flag it and a customer service rep to decide it was not legitimate.
The TV series Ozark depicts this.

Edenworks | Plant Science | New York City | Onsite | Full-Time

Edenworks designs, builds, and operates the world’s next generation of indoor farms. By industrializing multitrophic ecosystems, starting with sustainably grown greens and seafood, we are pioneering production methods that make people and our planet healthier. Our goal is to make local produce and protein as accessible as conventionally grown product is today.

We are seeking a world-class plant scientist or research-oriented grower who provides vision and technical leadership on blank page questions, embraces the complexity of biological systems, has a hunger to understand the physical world at a fundamental level, and is driven to deliver solutions that have commercial value.

In this role, you will set the direction for plant production research, provide boots-on-the-ground support for farm operations, operate research-scale growing systems, and pioneer our team’s work to harness the power of whole ecosystems and their microbiomes. There will be opportunities to contribute to Edenworks’ work in aquaculture as well as horticulture.

And if you are in that position, it is because you have the most (or enough) context to be able to solve the problem.

In an interview situation, it is like being asked to fix a problem with skyscraper having never seen the interior before. Interviewing is low-context. You cannot test whether someone will fail under high-context pressure in an interview.
Bengay was one small example which I picked because it was the first off my head. Assuming that a Dutch import business bought it from the shelves of Walmart for the normal price, sales tax and all, they would have to be somehow paying €260 per kilogram for shipping for the price to be what it is; shipping, or taxes, can in no way come close to explaining the price being five and a half times higher.

There are several methyl salicylate products available in the Netherlands, but they all are available for a similar i.e. extortionate price.

In a country with easier to navigate laws, you can start an import business and sell the products locally. Sure, there is a price increase due to VAT, shipping, handling and business expenses, but this is typically reasonable. For an example of a low-volume perishable food product, I'll take stroopwafels. Here in the Netherlands, where they are made, a 200 gram bag costs between €1.50 and €2.40 depending on the brand. In America, the same 200g bag costs €2.40 at Trader Joes (which is $2.79.)

That's between a 0-60% price increase - and that's for a perishable, low-volume, inexpensive food product sold in a luxury grocery store.
Plus, it'll start at $1 billion in tax receipts but that's not where it's going to end up. There will be disfavored industries that'll have to recharter and there'll be ones that recharter for "national security."
Yes, as long as you have a digital copy of the movie you can move/copy it to any device tied to your account. The problem here is he did't have a downloaded copy of the movie.
It may be that "Working in compilers / dev tools development is a good career" is true, but the number of tools and compilers needed is small, much smaller than the number of people who would like to have this "good career". Better to focus elsewhere if you are not exceptionally skilled and/or exceptionally motivated.
Don't forget the first program in this space: Adobe Pagemill.
Short of a genuinely complicated ML system which having been fed a bunch of (say) Jazz Pianists midi data for chord patterns etc, I think you could probably do it with some kind of weighted (let's say by the user) Markov chain/state machine with some kind of graph for which chord voicing should be used relative to those around it: e.g. "This Dm7 has a F in it, the next chord is a Cmaj7#11 so move the F up a semitone[Within the same octave]"

The above system should be able to come up with coherent movement of voicings (and fingers...) although I can't imagien that it would sound very human.
Quite well, via well-established graph assignment algorithms that look for the best fits/matches between pairs of commits.
Wow! I haven’t used regular Gmail in years! It will be a pain to switch back. The whole bundling, scheduling, snoozing, pinning, reminders etc are really useful.

But then it’s Google. The key people probably got bored and moved on and perhaps no one else is willing to take it up. At least they didn’t make 10 different email products like they did with IM.

Any suggestions for alternative email clients for iOS/Android (other than Gmail app) which works well with Gmail? The iOS client doesn’t work well with Gmail. I’m looking for something which has as many as possible features from Inbox and doesn’t mess up my inbox — i.e. no Mail Pilot.

I'm not making the claim that drunk people are equally fun for a sober person to hang out with as other sober people, which you seem to be responding to - I'm saying the majority of the population would expect there to be alcohol at a party (even the type of upper class New York party described in the linked article).

It sounds like they wanted a hobby meetup group or similar.
The Microsoft-fear in this article isn't justified.

However, the author does point out several good practices:

* Don't host your code only in one place

* Don't host your services only in one provider

* Don't host your backups only in one provider

I suppose you could argue the second one, but the other two are important to follow.
The goal of this proposal is wealth redistribution. Why not just do it directly? By any sane analysis we are far to the left of the peak of the Laffer curve so there is plenty of room to act. There is no reason that the benefits of cut throat capitalism and a strong welfare state can't coexist in the same economy. This command economy government offloading the welfare state onto corporations nonsense is not the way to accomplish it.
Initial research is on Toms Hardware.

Then I read the negative comments on Amazon or Egghead. The 1s and 2s will tell you if there is a problem. Look for consistency and logically accurate. Throw out the 'Amazon never delivered it', or my favorite was an advanced level book (title included the word advanced), and person complained it was not good for a beginner.
Your phrasing makes this seem like a natural fact. Finding ways to deeply engrave important values (work hard, strive for greatness, delayed gratification, stuff like that) into future generations seems like a real challenge right now. A

My comment was really more about brain development, maturity, puberty (and the hormones that go with it), and things like that. It doesn't mean they are lazy or anything like that at all. These things are learned, and these young people aren't even in high school.

"mostly letting them do what they want" isn't true now and I don't think that has ever been true. As far as what to do next, we can start by trying to make sure folks have stable households which include not only things like shelter, food, and medical care but also things like internet access. These things lessen the stresses that are an issue - being poor won't necessarily make you suffer.

Make sure kids have freedom to explore. Treat kids like they are intelligent (they are, just not mature) and teach what sort of work goes into getting things. Be realistic about what to expect out of life (for example, a chem degree might really wind up working in a lab somewhere). We could do things like showing kids how work and patience pays off by allowing "fun" subjects (arts, music, inclusive sports, "hobby" classes). Increases in freedoms as kids get older so they can experiment with some of their choices (Such as being able to have free contact with friends, choosing one's own classes, ability to not follow in the parent's religion). A 13 year old might not be mature enough to realise what to do to make their future better 15 years into the future, but these sorts of lessons can be taught so when the maturity catches up it'll come together.

(I should note that naturally, some kids are geared more towards some of the long-term planning than others and I cannot speak for all young folks, just what I notice).
This article makes it sound like occitan is mostly used in rural communities to talk about local cuisine and folk tradition.

There are also people speaking various dialects of occitan in Toulouse, Bordeaux, Perpignan, Marseille and Nice, mixing it with french and with languages brought by immigrant communities.

There are rap songs in occitan, or mixing french occitan and arabic:

> A little closer to home, Lamport shared an anecdote of how his programming language even helped Microsoft avert a near-certain disaster. While writing a TLA+ specification for an IBM-developed memory system chip in the Xbox 360, a Microsoft intern discovered a bug that would cripple the game console. The IBM engineers’ first reactions were of disbelief, saying it could not possibly happen, Lamport said. However, they changed their tune a few weeks later. “Their tests would not have discovered it, and had this intern not discovered this bug, it would have gone into production; every Xbox would have crashed after four hours of use. [That’s] a nice success story.”

Bit of an OT/broad question, but...

Is there anyone in the US that has any sort of chronic condition or has had a large medical expense that is vehemently in favor of the current system, or vehemently opposed to some flavor of "medicaid for all"? I seem to only ever read/hear/see healthy people who are against some form of basic universal health services.
Good news everyone: Google will be integrating their Trips feature into Trio (the successor to Duo after it sunsets next month).

There's a case to be made for saving these oils for later or converting them into readily usable forms but few people understand it - I expect conflating it with other topics like CO2 emissions and alternative energy.

It's like how it's assumed that high quality artificial meats would replace farming of animals. Not quite - since meat is one of a 1000 products they're used for. Also true of oil.

>It blows my mind why people blame Wal-Mart and not the folks who developed the legislation of those policies.

Because Wal-Mart has the profits to be able to afford to pay full time workers a living wage, but instead of paying a living wage to all full time employees they scoop the profits, and shift that gap to taxpayers.

I think most people agree, that if an employer has the profits to pay full time employees enough so they employees are not eligible for food stamps the employer has that obligation. Where the profits exist, businesses should be required to reimburse the government/tax payers for at least the cost of food stamps. Why should tax payers subsidize the food for employees, and their families, of public companies when the profits exist? The worst part is Wal-Mart publicly claims they can’t afford to pay their employees a living wage to the extent they won’t be eligible for food stamps...well it’s simple math walmart profits less the total amount of benefits the employees take...wow the money is there.
Organ donation here in Germany is a joke. My aunt worked in a hospital and tried to explain the "ethical-donation"-system to me, that allows everyone within the donation system to shirk responsibility and decision-making.

You gain points on the waiting list for how sick you are- which means, the closer you are to a multiple organ failure- the higher you get on the donation list. So by the time you get a high-score, you are always near death- so you get a donated heart, but your kidneys or your liver is done for.
Its a twisted joke, especially that faked out "scandal" some years ago - where doctors where dragged to the streets for making there patients sicker then they where, to prevent the organs going to the living dead.

Logic , applied to ethics, sometimes gives birth to abominations.
Okay, what's the URL?
Does anyone think they'll make a next-gen SE next year? It could simply be they didn't want to release four phones this year.
The US has assets to cover its debts in spades. Nobody would give them money for free if they didn't.

And the debt is owned at ~50% by the government itself or the Fed and ~20% by various non-federal investors (pensions, mutual funds, local governments, individuals) with the rest being owned by various non-US entities.
Trips is by far my most used feature -- I'm really going to miss that too!
Most of these things are available in the new Gmail interface.
I particularly dislike marketing that uses terms like “safer”, “faster”...compared to what? If you dig far enough into the fine print, it is usually clarified as “...compared to our last crappy version” but the implication is that the product is superior to any alternative. That kind of phrasing is garbage and has no place in a user warning, much less anywhere else.
That may be true for some languages such as Occitan or Picard but others were purposefully killed by the republic. Alsatian for instance was forbidden in schools. If prestige only was at play Alsatians may have mostly became bilinguals (similar situation exists in Africa, Hong-Kong, India) instead of unilingual speakers of French.
There haven't really been many attempts at making small flagship-quality devices in years. Didn't the SE immediately sell out when it was released? I struggle to believe no similar market exists today, but Apple obviously has a easier and more profitable path maintaining the device collection they announced today. I just wish they didn't.

I was thinking about replacing my SE with whatever was announced today, but instead I'll be continuing to use it until it dies/isn't supported any more. Maybe I'm alone on that, I dunno.

Somehow you missed the point that openness of graphic formats has not helped to make Gimp better than Photoshop, likewise even if Office formats were 100% open, Libre Office features wouldn't match Word.
If you want cheap storage, check out backblaze. Otherwise use s3. I want to do something similar but I need very custom permission/authentication handling so I’m storing things in s3 and using ec2 instances as a proxy, which can also help with caching s3 calls (I don’t want to use Cloud Front). In these ec2 instances I basically have a custom Nginx configuration and that’s it.
Amazon Drive used to offer unlimited file storage. They stopped because people from https://www.reddit.com/r/DataHoarder/ were uploading their 100TB video library.

Now there's an arbitrary-file storage limit, and while Amazon Drive still offers unlimited photo storage, this proviso exists in the features page:

> If you are a Prime member, in addition to the list above, you can also store unlimited photos at no additional charge. However, the Amazon Photos unlimited photo benefit only applies to files recognized as photos. If a photo is encrypted, and Amazon Drive is unable to identify it as a photo, the file will count toward your storage limit. Videos also count toward your storage limit.

This is because, to get around the imposed limits, the data hoarders attempted to use a storage client that would chunk their large arbitrary files (probably pirated videos and game ISOs) into many smaller files that appeared to be collections of photos. The "photos" created by the chunking client were just arbitrary data with a .jpg extension, so scanning for "is this file of a valid image container format" was enough to thwart them. But, even if the data hoarders tried harder and made a new version of the chunking client which encoded their files as e.g. valid PNGs, 1. that's have really high bandwidth overhead, and 2. it'd still be pretty simple on Amazon's part to use more advanced ML to detect whether a given valid image is actually "a photo", or is just compressed binary data. So the data hoarders stopped while they were ahead.

I would guess that Amazon Music restricted their offering because of the data hoarders as well—unlike with photos, it's impossible to say whether arbitrary binary data constitutes "music" as long as it's stored as a stream in a valid media container file-format. It would have been fairly easy to create a new version of the data hoarders' chunking client that stored its arbitrary files as valid .flac containers. So Amazon just applied a policy solution instead.
I really like Inbox reminders and the smart addressee option when pressing the "Compose" button. I use reminders when I'm offline to save notes to myself. If I use my Google Home, then the reminders also show up in Inbox. I really liked how reminders and this part of the Google ecosystem integrated with my lifestyle routines. I guess I could switch to Todoist or roll my own thing, but it won't be the same.

Needless to say I'm miffed by this news. It tells me it's dangerous to love Google products no matter how great they are, because one day they'll be taken away.
