Perhaps you misread. Quoting Article 31 (1)
1. The Contracting States shall not impose penalties, on account of their illegal entry or presence, on refugees who, coming directly from a territory where their life or freedom was threatened in the sense of article 1, enter or are present in their territory without authorization, provided they present themselves without delay to the authorities and show good cause for their illegal entry or presence.

In other words, people who cross multiple borders on the way and/or evade authorities before seeking asylum do not qualify.
I have seen articles indicating some states have been known to stick people on a bus and ship them to California.

I run several homeless sites and routinely read r/homeless. A common question is "Where can I go with better weather than where I am currently?"

I spent several years homeless. I was evicted from my apartment in Georgia and walked and accepted rides to cross the country to get back to California. So I basically camped my way across the country.

I'm quite confident I know whereof I speak on this specific detail.

Though just to be clear, I am not suggesting we ship all our homeless there, though it absolutely is true that some portion of the homeless population in California traveled there from elsewhere in some fashion.
Was the doctor's quoted price the same as the all-in price? In our case, the OB's bill was something like 10% of the final total, which was close to 6 figures, despite being bog standard.

I very much appreciate Wayback Machine's work and would like to support them by offering our SGML software for free (see contact info on http://sgml.io or PM).

SGML can be used as swiss army knife to perform all kinds of difficult HTML parsing, manipulation, and preservation tasks since it is using classic DTD grammars for your HTML flavor at hand, rather than having a particular HTML grammar hardcoded. For example, see our HTML 5.1 DTD at [1] (which can be used with any SGML software freely anyway).

In today's dark age of the web, we're loosing content daily as classic web sites are shutting down.

Nevermind pathophysiology, this textbook teaches the art of interacting with patients.
Well, Indian offshore companies have been training many COBOL guys since Y2K. These days, most of the SAP related jobs are outsourced to India. How can one expect that the same fate won't befall those who want to master COBOL now?

How about salaries?
Unthemed Windows & Mac OS will be convincing to a lot, Linux will be pretty hard. Then again those who tinker with their computers are unlikely to fall into this trap.
I'm quite hesitant to mention this for fear that my reason for bringing it up will be grossly misunderstood, but the setup this article describes bears an uncanny resemblance to locations used by the adult entertainment industry. Both cases share the theme of a constructed fantasy life, a life that we as image consumers must realize is not real yet nevertheless choose to buy in to on some level.

This penthouse is not real; rather it exists beyond reality. The fantasy it expresses is what we imagine luxury and the good life looks like, rather than how such a life actually looks. But now that this penthouse does physically exist—now I can go take pictures of myself in it and now that people are actively decorating their own luxury apartments to look like it—how can you say that it is not real? How can you claim that it does not accurately reflect what luxury and the good life really are?

This whole hot take is basically a regurgitation of some of Baudrillard's ideas btw. I keep coming back to his concept of hyperreality because it seems so relevant today, and this is an area that I hope to keep exploring. Ahh, if only I could reserve a photoshoot there...

>I’ll play devil’s advocate here. The guy (yes, just one guy, not a team) who was building this game dropped out of college to make it after the initial Kickstarter. It’s likely that he was a fairly smart and driven guy, but simply inexperienced both in terms of software engineering and game development.

The "dropped out of college to make it after the initial Kickstarter" part doesn't support the "smart" part that well. At best he's smart despite doing so.
This is hard to defend against, but changing the default colour scheme (also used for every window title bar) helps somewhat.
I think Republicans hate all blue States. Due to America's peculiar Electoral College system one man is not one vote. This keeps California severely disenfranchised in American politics.

Californians are second class citizens. And when they try to exercise their state rights the Republicans are quick to stop them.
Why? Because they fell from space yesterday, and don't know that that's a possibility in any project, and in kickstarter even more so?
I must have poorly explained. The strategic decision happens earlier, when you decide which idea to commit to. Certain ideas are both a) incapable of generating early profits and b) dependent on reaching uncertain milestones to unlock the next stage of crucial funding.

So if you don't have the personal finances to deal with that situation, then you make a different decision further upstream, in the past, by choosing to work on an idea which has either easier funding targets (allowing an early salary), or which can generate early profits (allowing an early salary), or which has lower development requirements (allowing you to work on it alongside another paying job).

The decision is about idea selection, where I agree with you. "If you need the money, then pick an idea which allows you to pay yourself quickly." But if you've chosen to play a different game (typical hypergrowth VC stuff), and you want to maximise your odds of winning at that particular game, then it's generally ideal to buy yourself more months business runway instead of more months of personal runway.

Perhaps still not clear, and I know it's an emotionally loaded topic, but hopefully that makes sense.

I’m curious why there aren’t more x -> x conversion/adapter tools available. Most languages have the same core data models/abstract concepts, if there really is an enterprise/business demand for a product, usually some company would come up with a solution. Personally I’m curious about COBOL and learning from it’s design, but I’m intrigued by this question in general.
I read Sams posts whenever they come out and they strike me as someone who has good intentions, little experience and who believes that they are able to see what is good for the world. I read Patricks writings as someone who is genuinely curious about the world and who by thinking about problems reaches points where he does not have all the answers but is able to at least phrase the problems coherently enough that future solutions might be defined.

The difference in style is tremendous, and no statement on their friendship or private discussions was implied or intended. To me it is the difference between 'smart' and 'wise'. You can be very smart and still not be very wise (though it is hard to be wise and not smart).

As far as the evidence is concerned, that we can agree on, the 'changing the world for the better' mantra has outlived its usefulness and should for transparency's sake simply be replaced by the one thing that matters: money.

Watsi is still from the PG days, the UBI experiment is so broken it is embarrassing, the 'hard questions about AI' have been raised since Asimov's days and do not - to me at least, feel free to differ - move the needle at all.
The sad thing is that the only thing that might save the higher tropic fish like tuna from extinction is increasing the mercury levels to make eating them so bad for human health that we quit eating them. Unfortunately, the the mercury level needed to keep the Japanese from having a nice sushi dinner may be higher than the lethal mercury level for tuna. Only time will tell I guess.
My metric was until the loading bar finished on the little fancy but useless opening letter animation which also probably took a significant time to load.
There's a lesson to be learned too. Stop making games for the general public. There are too many people trying to reach everyone.

I'm definitely in the cash camp, not only for privacy but also just wanting to limit how many vendors have my credit card info (so I use Apple Pay whenever possible, if not cash), especially after point-of-sale breaches like the ones at Target and Home Depot.

The problem with cash, for me, was that I'd run out of it too quickly.

That changed when I started focusing on saving 60% of take home pay, cooking almost all meals at home, stopped going to bars/cafes/coffee shops, comparison shopping of groceries (shifting to costco), etc.

Now I don't worry about small effects like CC cash-back or accidental frugality, because hitting over 60% savings is an overwhelming effect.
Not true. Inter-racial marriages are actually very rare in all western countries, just a drop in bucket (although they are more visible because of our tendency to remember surprises more often than norms). Usually Asian boys would travel back to their home country and marry someone from there based on their much better economic status.

It doesn't make sense for yourself. The idea is to have one person tracking another (group of) person(s) and thereby having some feedback and motivation. Maybe you can grow a team with other freelancers and track each other?
Good question. But yeah, seems like a relatively minor change compared to what I'm proposing. I'm sure it wouldn't play well politically, though.
Beginner's Guide to Agtech: Innovating in the Farming Industry
While I like your way of thinking, I don't think the argument applies. The game itself doesn't possess any kind of AI and is somewhat static, more like a sudoku book: There are lots of puzzles, but you know it when you have solved one.

The one-on-one tutor idea is that you have a master who sees the mistakes the student makes and gives him an exercise to target precisely the misconception the student might have in his head.

The Witness, on the other hand, doesn't possess such intelligence. Instead, it is a carefully crafted series of puzzles which slowly broaden the possible moves. Most of the time every next puzzle requires you to learn a new part of the rules. Sometimes you assumed that part anyway, and the puzzles are easy. But sometimes you have to find out that misconception in your head and replace it with something correct which makes the puzzle harder.

So one concept includes an intelligent observer while the other is more like a perfected text book.

Does it really rely on 1975 Stanford undergrads, though? For example, I think Dan Kahan (Yale's Cultural Cognition Project at http://www.culturalcognition.net/blog/) usually says about the same thing about facts and changing minds.

A pandemic with casualty rates comparable to the Spanish Flu would mean a rapid worldwide GDP drop comparable to a GFC simply because even if the GDP-per-capita would stay the same, there would be less people, so a drop in both production and demand. It would also mean an immediate jump in household default rates as a noticeable portion of families lose their main earners. Both of these factors are likely to cause banks to derail as well.
You're right, but he addressed this near the bottom of the KS page:

What Engine Does the Game Use?

I have written the engine from scratch using C++ and OpenGL... Most importantly, the engine is designed completely around procedural paradigms, and this influences the architecture of the engine in many ways. Every file is written with "everything procedural" in mind.

So, not so much re-inventing the wheel, but creating his own paradigm in a new engine. Brave to attempt something so novel, but this is how progress is made. If nothing else, he has a (hopefully) solid game engine that could form the basis for any number of future games.

Gavan Woolery's Voxel Quest is another example of someone striking out on their own to invent a new engine. Look how awesome that turned out!
Not me, but my boss knows regex and I probably should too as he is a wizard with it.

WTF, no it doesn't. Nvidia releases Linux drivers and updates regularly now, they get pulled into all the major distro repositories, and they generally work well.

If you're doing any sort of gpu accelerated machine learning, you're basically expected to use Ubuntu with Nvidia hardware and drivers.
> As far as I could tell, the debugger trap was basically calling the debugger function if it detects a running debugger.

This is a fairly common trick, you just run the debugger method in a setTimeout loop since it's a no-op if the debugger isn't open. It's a common tactic used by quasi-illicit sport streaming websites that are usually filled with ads.

There's a button in Chrome Dev Tools to disable breaking on breakpoints that gets round this.

Because these were basically 2 different projects that have absolutely nothing in common. They should have called it something else. I'll be hyperbolic but imagine jQuery then jQuery2 is React, to give you an idea. Why still call that jQuery? for marketing purposes obviously and it's a bad reason.

Re. The shovelware bit: Once upon a time, when men were real men, etc, making a game meant writing it from the ground up, writing your own engine and then writing the game logic on top of that engine to make something unique.

Now that game engines are commonplace, free and work better than what any single developer would be able to come up with after a lifetime of hard work the end result is that games have a very hard time to differentiate themselves from each other. There isn't really an unlimited space of game scenarios out there, even in the days of the 2D arcade games after a couple of years it became much harder to come up with something truly unique.

It is important that people realize sleep cycles do exist, but this seems a bit strawman-ish. If someone says "you need about 8 hours of uninterrupted sleep" I would rather take that as meaning things like "don't get up after just 5 hours" and "don't get up and check ebay auctions in the middle of the night even if it just takes 10 minutes", not "don't panic if you naturally wake up at 4am".

Both computers are connected the same Unifi network. One was a Macbook Pro using the builtin wireless (ac; listed as 144 Mbps in the Unifi controller iirc) and the other a Mac Mini connected via cable (1Gbps). They both pinged the router, so all traffic was local. There are no other wifi networks nearby (single family house area, 50+ meters between houses), and basically no other traffic on the network.

It sounds very attractive to developers, and I myself was a huge fan of this way of thinking for a long time. Sadly real life teams are never even close to this. And there are reasons for that, which we might like or not. But they have to be accepted. For instance most project leaders are not good developers nor good managers. And they don't really want to advertise that fact, because just like us they believe that anybody actually cares. So they get even worse by not tracking relevant metrics and instead focus (not by coincidence but by cunning) on metrics that are painful for developers, like current_open_bugs, or open_features_that_nobody_understands_and_that_where_discussed_with_nobody. They do that because it increases pressure on developers, hooks them with their desire to become better, and they provide automatic goals that can never be achieved. And these are the desired outcomes for the project leaders. Because if everybody is under time pressure, you don't need to worry that someone might steal your job, if everybody already feels bad about themselves they will not criticize you openly (and are motivated to work harder), and if there are always automatic goals you don't need to think about new goals all the time.

What is interesting to me is that nobody puts these people actively at the top of the projects. It's more like they grow to these positions naturally. But now that they are there, you can't really apply the logic from the presentation to convince them. Insted you might even give them the impression that they don't apply enough pressure yet because you are criticising their job.
Funny thing about the incorrect Google conversion...it's correct in the address bar drop down, but incorrect in the conversion table...
I.e. if you start typing '1 imperial pint...' in the address bar the correct value appears. But use the actual google chrome conversion table and the incorrect 500ml value is provided.
Have reported to Google multiple times but they havent responded. Previous feedback to Google (regarding google maps) was dealt with quickly.

I'd argue that it's a quite good idea to keep your LinkedIn profile looking exactly like that, unless you've decided that you need a good-looking profile right now for "advertising" because you're looking for a job, and you're going to use LinkedIn for that, which many job-seekers won't do.
That's really a shame. One thing I'd suggest in addition to that:

Find the account that posted it on Reddit and tell them to delete it. If the account doesn't comply, ask Reddit moderation to delete it.

That'll save some time. AFAIK it is an uphill battle to report all the Reddit fetching image frontends that constantly spawn everywhere.

Targeting the source is really the most effective approach.

> I didn't thought so much people got "exhausted" by Angular. I personally tried it ( v2 , v4 , v5 , v6) and i really fell in love with it.

It's basically Java Spring IoC container ported to Javascript. But Javascript doesn't need an IoC container, it's a dynamic language... That's why I despise Angular. It's a framework that does absolutely nothing new then tries to mask its vacuity with layers and layers of complexity. It's like some people need to justify their salaries at Google so they churn useless yet elegant code. Why the heck does a JS view framework need a AOT compiler as well?
We have this weird fetish these last few years with asserting in broad language that people don't change their minds, don't respond to evidence, dig their heels in further when presented with evidence that contradicts their preconceived opinions, etc. It's all over pop psychology and the headlines.

Bugs the heck out of me, because if the language they use is literally true, then no one would ever be convinced to change their minds ever. And yet, we do.

It's true that perhaps some or many people never change their minds, or that all people might be apt to behave that way when they're not focusing their attention, but that's wildly different language then the headlines use.

This article is obviously guilty as well - "Why Facts Don't Change Our Minds". Like, ever? The content of the article doesn't back up the headline, but the headline is what people remember.

Even some of the content is probably guilty. In the Stanford capital punishment study, is it really true that each and every individual in the study responded as they describe? Because that's how the article is written.

And the problem is it gives people more excuse to give up - to not engage with someone who is wrong, or to dismiss someone who is right (that they think is wrong). Because, studies!

The real lesson is the opposite - that we have to study and learn critical thinking, and practice, as a discipline, changing our minds when the evidence or reasoning warrants it. Just because it's hard doesn't mean it's impossible, and in fact the ability to do so is part of what makes us an evolved species - or more generally, our ability to surpass our instincts and evolved traits.

Show me some experiments that demonstrate what conditions need to be in place, in order for people to change their minds after they've proven to be resistant. (Hint: psychological safety and lack of time pressure.) That's what'll be valuable. I'm tired of all these other studies that just say we don't.
