Well the thing is that somebody has to pay for it and there are pros and cons to every approach.

1. Reader Funded: Accountable directly to user contributions. Common with activists. Good for not being the but needs to raise interest. Sensationalizing is a temptation. Has an echochamber risk as passion sustains it even at the cost of rationality. The viewers must both care enough to support. See cases like Greenpeace trying to ban chlorine as the element of death.
2. Patron supplied: stable funding from a wealthy base. No need to try to sensationalize or generate a profit but control rests with them.
3. Government funded: similar to 2 but vulnerable to politics usually unless held as sacrosanct.
4. Ad funded: A hybrid system of 1 and 2 essentially. A broader base of supporters and only need to care enough to read to support but advertisers have influence.
5. Endowment based - a seed fund internally accountable only. Which means either nothing to keep itself in check or somebody able to exert influence.

There are no easy answers and all exist.
Anyone know - If you download your gmail cache from Google, is there an easy way to convert that to Maildir or is OfflineIMAP still the way to go?
I use Posteo and would highly recommend it. There may be occasional hiccups, but those seem to be few and far between.
Aha, I misunderstood, sorry.
Yes, in some cases.

Like thermostats. I've read about Nest thermostat crash on loss of Internet connection which result in dangerous temperature loss in infants room. We can make those thinks more robust for years, but it does not have an app and does not make so much money.

Food supply was original comment. Most people do not have food for week. (I compare it to always stocked pantry of my grandparents). Any small - one week - disruption can result in big problems for some.

But we are moving to hi-tech just in time system everywhere, which are dependent on Internet, GPS, advanced forecasting etc. Those systems can be for example hacked and not functional for days.

I don't care about Amazon delivery being late.
I agree with both of you, really, both interfaces are shit. Chrome has that hideous whitespace that's wasteful even for touch interfaces, let alone for mouse+keyboard, and Firefox has a cumbersome and too basic interface. I can't even do an advanced search on my bookmarks.
What are the downsides of having middle and high schools start at 9am with elementary schools starting at 7:30am? Basically a reversal of what is in place today.

Just go through with one fell swoop and swap every single starting time.
Yes, that too. In fact this is my favourite subset of the Internet. It's usually of the highest quality, and most trustworthy.
I'm pretty sure it's using some version of Fridrich. It looks like it in the video, and the source code screenshot has a file name, "solve_f2l.cpp", that would appear to be referring to the "first two layers" step, which is usually abbreviated as f2l.

For finding a solution by computer, it has the advantage of being almost completely a rote application of algorithms.
French banks don’t use TAN codes? Isn’t it an EU directive at this point?
It doesn’t have have to be a dedicated hardware token or a chip TAN, mTAN or soft tokens are also acceptable.
I did, and I don't agree with its conclusions.
Thanks for the information. It's quite amazing and shocking to hear that these guys are able to look at their customers emails.

That must be some kind of violation liable for a court case.
It's funny because you'd think that'd be the case, but in practice the difference is night and day. Thermostatic mixers will often have a temperature dial on the output, and it'll be within ~2 degrees of that temperature as soon as the hot water available exceeds that temperature.
These traits certainly aren't found in all EU countries.

> Real people in a branch a 5 minute walk away.

None of the major banks in the UK meet this critetia (well, maybe in London). Most of the banks are located in city centres, manned 9-to5 Mon to Friday (which is when im working of course), and most of them tell you to do your banking online/using the in-branch machines.

Again,country specific. Ireland used to charge 2.50/cadx, and now charges 0.12c a transaction, up to 2.50 per year.
As much as dissapointment the Affordable Care Act was, at least someone tried something. If only we could learn from those mistakes and make incremental changes. Politicians are to obsessed with either tearing it all down or healthcare for all for "free", no middle ground
it is a different level of security. The comic is fully correct, but you should still use a secret. That is why there are 3 different types of authentication. The first is something you have - a card or key. The second is something you know - a password. The third is something you are - a fingerprint. Each provides protection against a different attack and is vulnerable to different attacks. The more important the secret the more of them you should use.

Note that you quickly get to the point where you need more than one person involved. You can compromise one person as much as you want, but if that person doesn't have the complete secret it doesn't do any good.

It's not free, and it's not simple, but Aha (https://www.aha.io) can be very helpful in figuring out product.

Engaging end users is a problem from a couple of directions. First, the very idea of "end user" - you need to engage customers, not end users. (Take Facebook, for example... you're not the customer, you're the product. If you build something for Facebook, your customer is Facebook, not Facebook's users.) This situation isn't exactly unusual. In this case, it's the customer's responsibility to gather feedback from end users - and put you in the feedback loop, as needed.

People who run their own farms are usually not living in poverty. Poor: yes, poverty: no.

Eating well for really cheap takes some upfront resources that really impoverished people wouldn't have, like kitchen space, cooking equipment, a lot of freezer or shelf space, equipment for freezing or canning your own food, etc.

Those things are all fairly cheap, so poor people living on a farm can afford them since it will save them a lot of money in the long run, but truly impoverished people can't afford that even if it will save them money.

Are you saying that performance issues on Google properties are a bug in Firefox? The other posters were implying the issue was Google doing things to intentionally slow down performance in Firefox.
That has got to be a total drop in the bucket compared the cost of the syscall itself.
In the hotel example, it's the lack of a modern, open, integrated reservation system. It's all 20+ year old systems patched together to try and work with one another, that don't necessarily have any idea what inventory at the hotel actually is unless it's part of a big organization like Marriott/Hilton/IHG/Wyndham/Choice/etc.

When a hotel doesn't have a 24/7 online system like the above companies, booking.com simply relies on the hotel to update their inventory on booking.com's system manually, and then faxes the hotel everytime a reservation comes through. The fax can fail, and so can the minimum wage employees who may or may not be tasked with updating booking.com's systems.

Bottom line is always confirm, and re-confirm when the consequences are great enough to warrant spending time re-confirming. And especially try to deal with the vendor directly, onsite especially. If you make a reservation at a hotel that doesn't have an app that shows your reservation in real time, then call and get the email address of someone who actually works on site, and then email them to confirm your reservation, and so you have something in writing from someone at the hotel.
101 Best Business Books of All TIme
If the majority of students are owls by nature, and everyone was being coerced into a lark schedule, how would you know if that had a detrimental effect or not? There's no control group.
The methodology here is not good. All they're doing is comparing average health care cost vs life expectancy. They don't measure standard of care, accessibility of treatment, etc.

This is especially important when looking at end-of-life care, which I speculate affects these both of these metrics the most. A hospice with private rooms, friendly staff, and social engagement will score lower than a hospital that keeps someone alive in a coma.
Adobe, Microsoft and SAP Announce the Open Data Initiative
Yeah STS is a pretty interesting case because it's a game from a Java dev who wanted his own thing. So he programmed it by hand (using libraries like LibGDX, of course). The part that impressed me the most is how he mentions he spent two weeks getting the played cards part working, and it shows; I've played a few "card game" video games and STS' has, by far, the best and most fluid playing. As in, when I click and let go it does exactly as I would expect it to.

In a large part, it's because Western business practices suffer from a lot of ego. I suspect consulting has a lot of cargo-culting because you need to wrap things up in a foreign veneer in order to implement certain optimizations without outright calling someone an idiot.
Are there awards for this sort of thing? If not, there should be. Such marvelous engineering and craftsmanship skills need to be recognized for the benefit of the individual and to inspire others.
I'm also an engineer building industrial automation systems. And I've sold dozens with poka yokes, done kaizen reviews (improvements), and used scanners/plant-machine communication for kanban (JIT/lean manufacturing).

I think the important thing to note here is not that when you use the Japanese word, it becomes a process, a tool, a requirement you can mandate and sell - not just common sense.

If you just call it idiot-proofing, people too often reject additional cost, process time, and complexity. If that sensor and part test are there because those are the poka yokes so you can't load it backwards, people don't push back as much.

And when Indians say that the Ramayana & Mahabharata episodes are over 30,000 & 10,000 years old, some people call them fake. Some others say they occurred within the last 3000 years because how could anything be more than 5000 years old before the biblical god created the universe.

Unless you're sticking to countries that hang their hat on digital privacy, hosts outside the USA are also likely to be snooping with varying levels of competency. "Not USA" isn't a good enough filtering criterion.
You don’t know if there is wear. The controller is a separate computer. It may be clever and just remap blocks if you copy or move them around. It could be that defragmentation allows the system to work in a way that is better for the controller or allows that controller to place the blocks in a better way.
And the opposite is creating a shadow regime of political enforcers in the office.

It's also worth noting that the term "meritocracy" was coined to highlight questions like yours.
People do this quite a lot it seems. I have spent a lot of time over the past year trying to dig up someone’s email and real name from GitHub (shameless plug for https://github.com/dblock/fue that helps with this).

Privacy is dead. I think that being public allows you to control what’s being public and that’s the best we can do.
Lots of people are "under GDPR". Us for example :)

ESNI: A Privacy-Protecting Upgrade to HTTPS
I'm tempted to agree with you that putting all that money into ITER when we're not even sure if that's the right way might seem like putting all your eggs in the same basket but at the same time I think it's a fallacy to consider this a zero-sum game. ITER already cost over 14 billion dollars which is a huge amount of money but almost negligible when compared to, say, the defense budget of the countries contributing to ITER. The Sochi winter olympics cost $51 billions. Or to compare to something more relevant, the amount of money "wasted" fighting the consequences of global warming is going to explode in the next decades, a few dozen billions are going to be cheap change compared to that.

So I agree that we should probably pump more money into more projects when it comes to nuclear research but I don't think it means that we should take it from ITER.
Request was for a system that perfectly understands you.

Reality is, instead of a human misunderstanding you, it's a robot (like Rosie from Jetsons) misunderstanding you.
True not all software is however there are some cases which are clearly bias laundering like sentencing algorithms that factor in garden size (UK sense). It is pretty clearly a spurious correlation and even if it was true would suggest requiring paroles be forced to live in areas with larger gardens as a rehabilitative measure - not to give a slap on the wrist to the rural and wealthy.
Why? In the US, if you can pay, you get better care than anywhere in the world. The question is, can you pay?
Idea for a research project: find as many "...could upend our understanding..." and similarly titled papers as possible, that are at least a few years old, and see what percentage of them actually do, in fact, upend our understanding of the field in question. I'm thinking, uh, less than 50%.
>He said "God is so powerful that he can do anything including placing all that evidence there to test our faith".

So his God is a deceiver. It's impossible to know the truth about anything in that universe. Because you don't know, can't know, when God is putting a finger on the scale.

That sort of reasoning reminds me of:

http://www.talkorigins.org/faqs/faq-god.html

Q7. So if God directed evolution, why not just say he created everything at once?

Mainly because all the evidence suggests otherwise. If God created the universe suddenly, he created it in a state that is indistinguishable from true age. If he did create it that way there must be a reason, otherwise God is a liar. Whatever that reason may be, a universe that is exactly like one that is old should be treated as if it were old.
Open source is a technical term (and I believe a trademark) with a specific meaning, defined by [The Open Source Initiative](https://opensource.org/). It does not merely mean that the source is available. As you hint at, being free software is a higher requirement, but this does not meet even the lower requirement of being open source.
The dangerous temperature loss from a Nest thermostat crash sounds like hyperbole.
Ah, good point. You should still be able to reorder background tabs using the double-tap-drag gesture (touchdown, touchup, touchdown, touchmove). I haven't tried it recently though.
But fastmail and the admins are under Australia law. This makes all attempts to do anything an international incident. FISA cannot do anything directly, they need to contact Australia for help. FISA can order NYI to put in a wiretap - but why bother when we already know there are wiretaps in all the major peering points on the internet.
None of these frameworks (there are many) seem to have support for repeating a certain target multiple times, with different arguments. For example, say you have a data set with per-country data; how do you repeat the same analysis on each country? This simple example is easy with a loop, but when you have multiple dimensions like this, you want to call each target with all possible permutations, depending on which type of dimension is actually relevant for that target. Does any ETL framework support that?

(I was actually just writing a spec for a new tool that does just this this afternoon because I can't find anything suitable)
I think the answer is still no. Have you had success using geogig? I have been watching the space and have hopes for solutions like the Dat in Rust rewrite: https://datrs.yoshuawuyts.com

This is the main claim: "Google employees discussed how they could tweak the company's search-related functions to show users how to contribute to pro-immigration organizations and contact lawmakers and government agencies, the WSJ said. The ideas were not implemented."

To me, that is not "subverting democracy." It is, however, taking an active political stance.
Allegedly the problem was that parents had to quit their jobs to adjust to the schedule. To me this seems easily solved by having little Jimmy walk or take the bus to school. No need for parental involvement in those cases as 12 year olds are capable of getting off and on a bus without supervision
You got voted down, but I've seen plenty of other sites with just as bad a layout discuss how terrible web 3.0 (or whatever we are calling it) has been for web design.

I felt like I was constantly looking through a pile of papers on a messy desk and I could never quite see clearly one photo at a time. It was irritating.
Not free and no one's saying that. Free at point of service, like the NHS or the Canadian health care system, yes, but obviously everyone knows we'd pay for it with taxes.

We could just do it, cover everyone, for less than we're paying now, by rejiggering the system under a "medicare for all" banner. There aren't any other serious options on the table. (replace and repeal, or whatever, is not a serious option.)
Could be; I can understand that.
Why no, github-pages does not enforce Jekyll! You can just put a bunch of HTML there. I use hexo, which I like. I could also write HTML by hand or generate directly from markdown.

The default Jekyll setup does indeed rely on some implicit theming, which is not very convenient.
This is amazing. Thank you!

Great find, thank you! This is exactly what I was looking for. Weird that it's nowhere to be found in the Safari 12 release notes.
In the US, if you can pay, you pay more for the same or poorer care. You don't get the best anymore. It is shown elsewhere, not in this article.

Obamacare killed the US as a medical mega-power. Economics 101: if you force the same prices for a much larger demand, then either the product sells out, or the service is watered down.
Anecdotally, I just accidentally kicked my USB-C charger loose, from the charger side. Pretty sure that would have stressed the old MagSafe cables.

I expect to have to replace the cable at some point, but not the charging brick or the ports. For those with large dogs, toddlers, or just klutziness (I'm borderline), magnetic breakaway cables are available.
Well, it does show favicons on tabs (with the recent update). I'm not sure what you mean "everything seems to be worse", I haven't found this to be the case. As for extensions, there are indeed fewer Safari extensions than for other browsers. I checked and I regularly use only: 1Password, Ghostery, AdBlock and Harvest.

As I said, it provides the best performance, experience and battery life.
It is very interesting because directly states that for C++ to be as efficient you need to have the optimizer on. Now for most scenarios that makes perfect sense but for aerospace we need to be able to match the code directly between the assembly and C code. Without this it is incredibly difficult to do full verification.
Unless a 6-digit "password" that you choose and stays the same for as long as you wish counts as a soft token, no they don't. Well, most don't, although some do.
Glad they brought back NFC, I had to choose between NFC (Yubikey Neo) or 4096 PGP keys (Yubikey 4).

I went with the 4.
I'd have to agree with davelnewton, people throw around the word entitlement WAY too often.
I understand that, but paying 100x what a VPS would cost, that's a rip-off. (100x because a VPS can handle the email of 100 people or even more.)

Where do you live that schools start at 07:30?

Also, it'd have a huge side effect: middle/high schools kids can go to school on their own. Many kids at elementary schools cannot. With this, you force parents to drop their kids off much earlier, which would fuck with their work schedules.
