Most people mostly don't care so long as the new residents don't gentrify the crap out of the place.

White people tend to be the biggest offenders in the gentrification regard but people tend to take it out on the newcomers who are visibly different from them so in white communities it because an "immigration problem" and in nonwhite communities it becomes a "gentrification problem".
Yes and no.

the solution to the problem was the correct one, they just forgot one important detail.

TELL THE USER!

As a result, plenty of people, (including myself) noticing their two year phone starting to slow down quite a bit, decided to upgrade to the new and shiny model, instead of just replacing the battery, because who would have known that was the problem?!
this is huge for the typically introvert, nerdy, and socially awkward (and probably sexually frustrated...) computer guy. i lost more than one job because i didn't understand just how underhanded people can be in an office, and how there are webs of power and friendship between people that aren't always obvious, and as they say in Southern California, if you fight one bean you fight the whole burrito (sorry...but that isn't really meant to be racist)... best bet is to not get involved and keep your mouth shut, and avoid office romance, office gossip, office anything.

it doesn't even matter how good you are, how smart you are, ...piss off one self-important middle manager who probably can't code something as simple as a++; and you are probably doomed.

also, if you are male, be ready for a lot of homosexual advances. another awkward problem that can spin out of control very easily.

you know what? i love programming, and i actually don't mind actually doing work....but most jobs are only partially about actually producing anything (this is getting more and more true all the time) and a lot more about kissing the right asses, enduring lots of worthless and unproductive meetings, and such. it blows, man.
Thank you, that was a well written summary of my thoughts.

I think there are profound limits to what can be understood from the application of natural scientific methods to the social world, because it's an open and non-linear system in which the units - people, groups - reflect on and learn from their experience. Also, while in the natural world you can easily create operational codings of variables because they follow deductively from proven theories (e.g. temperature), you cannot do that for the social world. There is no single and authoritative concept of 'power', for instance.

All that said, there is no one scientific model. Evolutionary biology has never pretended to by anything like physics. It's an open and non-linear system. It cannot make predictions, and nearly every generalisation it makes is either relatively trivial, or has a great many exceptions. For the most part, it's a historical science.
There are a lot of people who've campaigned against nuclear over the years, including fossil fuel companies. I think it's a stretch to think nuclear companies campaigned against waste storage in hopes that a future court case would eliminate their fees...especially since the consequence is that they have to store the waste locally at the plant site, which isn't free either. It's reasonable that if they're paying for that, they shouldn't also have to pay for a repository that doesn't exist.

Meanwhile, fossil plants dump their waste into the atmosphere and don't pay a dime for it.

For comparison, Windows 2000 has a recommended minimum requirement of 64MB of ram. Windows 95 recommended 8MB. That's the scale of bloat we're talking about. That a modern UI which does essentially the same things can feel unresponsive in any way on several orders of magnitude more resources says a lot about the priorities of modern software developers.
There was a TV AD few years back in my country about a beer. A group of friends is discussing in a bar that 2-day weekends are not enough so they decided to add a new one called Osvaldo (the name of the waiter) and they go all around the world promoting an 8-day week with 3-day weekends.

Then someone named "Domingo" (Spanish for sunday) call them "guys, you are the inventors of Osvaldo" and tell the history of a group of friends inventing Sunday. It was very funny.

Couldn't find a best resolution:

The solution to each forest is a curve with the 'start' and the 'end' point.

We minimize the length of the curve for that forest.

Constraint: if the starting point of the curve is placed anywhere in that specific forest then some point of it must be outside regardless of the orientation of the curve.

That's for avoiding thinking about the function of itself.

Exactly! Look at architecture (https://github.com/trunkmaster/nextspace/wiki/Architecture-a...). NEXTSPACE is a marriage of Linux quite mature technologies (D-Bus, PolKit, systemd) and OpenStep implementation frameworks (GNUstep) to create SPACE where NeXT or NeXT-like applications can live or reborn. Essential part of this is a UX (mature, consistent) with attention to any tiny piece of applications look and feel. That's what I though when started this project.
claiming ignorance is no defence in court. Why should it be a defence for trump voting?
That's extremely rare, in my experience. Nowhere near what developers go through.

It's rare even for basic things like spelling errors or typos to be pointed out, let alone more serious problems like a presentation containing statements that are wrong or vague, meaningless, etc. If people get their work criticised so easily why are there so many spreadsheet errors around, why are there so many vacuous PowerPoints and business processes that go round in circles leaving behind furious customers?

I've witnessed all this first hand. I've also seen what happens when programmers and non-programmers in a tech firm get accidentally mixed together: the programmers start pointing out mistakes in the non-programmers work and cause an "incident" because the others aren't used to being peer reviewed like that.
It can have legitimate use cases, for example administrating a large fleet of Android phones in a corporation. But I have to agree that mobilizing such machinery against typical non-enterprise users is stupid. In some countries that could make them vulnerable to huge lawsuits

"At some point you've got to trust your newspaper (or read a better one!) unless there is explicit counter-evidence from elsewhere against the story."

Gell-Mann has fascinated me for years (even before I knew it by name). It stemmed from reading news articles about technology in the newspaper (even pre-internet) and other conventional news sources. They never seemed to get it right, and it was frustrating. Particularly galling was the use mis-use of "hacker".

As I got older, and eventually had a cadre of friends and acquaintances in various professions - nurse, doctor, lawyer, CEO (food), COO (software development), environmental scientist, hydrologist, industrial engineer, insurance salesman, high level manager, and most notably, a journalist.

Querying them specifically on Gell-Mann, the results were pretty much unanimous. They all felt like the conventional media mis-reported their fields of expertise. Being introduced to the Gell-Mann concept was an eye-opener for some of them, while others had intuitively understood it, as I had.

Consequently, I follow no out of domain news sources. If I want to know something, I read something in depth from within the industry it is covering. I choose carefully, and try discredit what I've read.

I have to say, it was particular satisfying not paying attention to the last election. One of my friends, a self-avowed news-monger, remarked to me casually a few days before election day, "Hillary cancelled her post-election party." I said, "She knows she's going to lose." He said, "You're crazy, everyone has her in a landslide." I said, "You might be misinformed."

macOS is definitely the best experience when it comes to printing though, the moment I pop the IP for my printer in and hit add the driver package gets automatically downloaded from Apple and installed.

The types are there, are to some extent you always have to rely on them. You can't call .push() on a string, or pass a number to Object.keys(). I can't imagine a situation where using == even works as you expect it to, aside from comparing numbers and strings that contain numbers. In which case the string should be converted to a number at the user input edge, as part of (but not the entire) input normalization, sanitation and validation phase.
The problem is caused by society/government, due to the lack of universal basic income, or alternatively a ban on having children if the parents can't provide an equivalent payment.

If everyone had access to the basic necessities of life without having to work, then nobody would accept jobs like those, and Amazon would be forced to either automate everything or substantially improve working conditions (much less hours, higher pay, ways to make the work more fun).

Even if you were to force Amazon and the like to "treat workers better", what about those who can't find work?

It seems this fits much closer to GitHub's original vision than what GitHub is now. Remember when they put the US laws online? A tool like this adopts a proven process from software engineering to other fields. I wonder if it's an acquisition target for GitHub?
No, you're misunderstanding. My argument is based on Conway's Law: The technology will reflect the politics. If you want to change this building technology that enables it is not a prerequisite. Go change the legislation, then the systems that follow that legislation would naturally emerge.

To go back to the accredited investor example: we don't need cryptocurrency to enable companies to raise money from a wide variety of sources. It's not even close to the best solution if that's your goal.

What's frustrating to me is watching people built technology without knowing anything about economics and thinking that they've built new economic ideas, when in fact they are extremely late to the conversation and don't have a real sense of what the state of the art is, nor the important moving parts are.

Waste that includes radioactive material, no less.
You have dirt inside your lightning port. Clean it up and should be fine.
I'm generally in favor of Nuclear, but they need to complete their whole-life planning before opening new plants. Presently, the status quo plan is to store nuclear waste at or near where it is generated in perpetuity. That's a pretty big unfunded liability in terms of risk management, security and maintenance. What is the future present value of managing a nuclear waste site for several hundred thousand years across risks we can't even imagine? That's a pretty big known unknown.

Apparently Walmart forces workers to watch anti-union videos and will entirely shut down a store at the first hint of union activity (and then later re-open it few months later with new staff). Amazon likely does the same with the anti-union propaganda and can also afford to shut down factories or fire the entire staff.

Top Must-Watch PyCon Talks
Cannabis market is now captivating the mainstream market and fortune 500 companies investors as they have known that most of all people nowadays are getting more and more open about cannabis industry. It's been a wild and lengthy debate but it is now paying off as more and more people are reaping the effects of the medicinal usage of the cannabis. This will surely open the eyes of many countries that will see the benefits of it instead of looking at it as causes of "drug addiction". It would also help many people that may need it and get big discounts from hospital treatment that cost them really big while a single oil from the plant can take care of the business. I just hope there comes a day that the purpose of it is to help people in need and not to monopolize the plant and take advantage on the people as it would take away the health and helpful benefit of the plant.
No. I used Nokia phones from the mid-1990s until I reluctantly bought an Android phone a few years back.

The 6110 needed a different battery from the 2140 I had originally, but from there all the way until the 6310i in mid 2000s they were compatible.

Its even spelled out on their Wikipedia entry. "Accessories (such as batteries) can generally be swapped between all these models."

>In my opinion we as a society are addicted to work.

We're not addicted to it, we're forced to do it or we go into homelessness and have an extremely hard time getting out of it. Homelessness has to exist in this system or people have nothing to be afraid of by not working. I don't think any of us are born just to endlessly work until we're 70, at least in this way. We're giving our entire lives away to someone else for profit.
Art? Any criticism of art is always inherently subjective, it can easily be blown off as the critic not getting it, not liking that style of art, etc. I mean if someone presents to me some totally abstract splashes of paint style work, and I criticise it by saying it doesn't look like anything and can they please redo it to be much more photo-realistic, are they going to accept the correctness of my words and the failure of their efforts, or are they going to rationalise it away as repolfx not being the kind of guy who likes modern art so why even bother?

To receive the sort of criticism I'm talking about, you need to produce things that are objectively good or objectively bad, and you need to be forced to accept when you produced something objectively bad on a regular basis. Criticism that can be easily written off doesn't count.

Go look at most people in a business, and the most or all of what they produce is ultimately evaluated by other people. It's not something the laws of physics have any say in. Whenever work is being subjectively evaluated by other people the standards and levels of criticism involved are way, way lower than anything engineers get subjected to. I've only very rarely seen business documents get put through the wringer in the way complex code reviews are every day.

The point was not about 'these guys' but about your example, even in so few given, being a perfect example of the problem. It's difficult to know whether your perception of a person is genuine or based on a facade. The fact that you listed Larry Page was just a particularly good example of the issue. You listed him not because you knew he was a person who fits your criteria, but because you assume by default that the lack of evidence indicates somebody must therefore be notably upstanding. And this assumption is fundamentally where we disagree.
