The existing systems in China place various pressures on the people there. You can't make the claim that Chinese people are morally bankrupt based on those cases alone.

The government is, for sure. However, it's the legal system's fault for letting the punishment of injury outweigh the punishment of manslaughter.

Furthermore, it's not as if Google has gone out of its way get into a position of censoring search results in China. Those search results are going to be censored no matter what. What Google does, whether they operate in China or not, doesn't effect that. All that changes is how much search-engine-generated money goes to Google or doesn't.

Ah, yes. Let's review a few classic "leftist" views, and see if they hold up:

1. Single payer healthcare is both more effective and cheaper than the for-profit model we have now. [1]

2. Climate change is both actually happening and is largely caused by human activity. [I really hope I don't need to cite this...]

UGears – 3D Wooden Mechanical Model Kits, 3D Puzzles
Considering games studios will spend ~4 years making an AAA game that they might only announce a few months before release, I don't think they're doing too badly. Latest public release I'm really impressed with -- seems like stuff is starting to get tied together really well, and it doesn't feel like a game from 6 years ago.

Even if they never officially release (which I guess could be considered "vaporware", although as you can already download and play it.......) -- it was a fun project to back for my $20 several years ago or whatever. When I see the arguments about how money's just going into the CEO's pockets? Yeah, and like the pockets of the employees at least three large dev studios across the world. I essentially bought one of them a nice meal.

We can definitely colonize space. And we can make space travel vastly cheaper.

"This is the mechanism by which the body cleans up most tissues. Except for the brain. The brain has a separate mechanism whereby lymphatic fluid (aka interstitial fluid) gets flushed out, taking wastes with it, only during sleep."

I've been thinking about this myself and I theorize that this all comes back, full circle, to your heart.

That is, both bodily and brain lymphatic fluid flushing mechanisms are driven by circulation - and the more efficient and powerful your blood circulation is, the more efficient and cleansing your lymphatic flushing will be.

And thus, your brains lymphatic flushing, while not directly driven by exercise, still benefits greatly from exercise due to the improvement in total circulation.
Reflog is analogous to the recycle bin (when used like this). It's nice in a pinch, but I don't want to rely on it, and it doesn't keep information forever.

a revert keeps that history forever in your repo (unless you do something to explicitly delete it), which IMO is just as important as all other commits.

How do I go from general software developer to domain specialist if I don't have domain knowledge in the first place (or want to get out of the domain I'm working in)?

I suspect that people who are in a great niche got there by accident and that luck is a much bigger part than most want to admit.

I don't think a deliberate attempt to move into a great position will work.

The problem with highlighting on the right is that it's hard to do multiple columns but maybe I could have a full page visualization on the right.
The former- it's something of a party trick for him. Most people can chunk up to 3 digit numbers, so you really only need to remember 4 numbers (original two, result, and temp). When I was little people would try to beat him on a calculator, and rarely won.

His talent was mainly that he could factor super quickly, and had the times tables memorized up to some absurd level. So that just cut a lot of thinking out of the task.

> Based on last year's acceptance rate of ~3% and the expected lifetime earnings of ~$3,000,000, then the price you should pay for that lotto ticket should be $89,800.

It's not the lifetime earnings from a Harvard education that are relevant, it's the increase of lifetime earnings at Harvard relative to a school one is effectively guaranteed to get into (say your state school that uses objective criteria).

That number is pretty difficult to evaluate, but I'm confident it is well under $1M.

> . Now, compare that to the actual price of ~$75 for an application fee. Even a flimsy application to Harvard is totally worth the money.

The cost of applying to an additional college is generally in time, not money. The money is just there to discourage low-quality shotgunning.

What? Do you mean by direct consumption or residually on food?

Confused by this too. By this logic those of us who rely on commercially farmed food (most of us) should be continually wasting away and soon dying, which is not the case
There's no intellectual argument to refute. Just the conservative trope "my opinions are being oppressed!" then when you ask about their conservative principles it basically boils down to justifying their racism/sexism or their own bigotry.
> I feel like many people deciding to use an open source license for their project never consider the consequences of such choice

I might say instead that the norms of open source software development -- attribution, collaboration, good faith -- are so baked in to small, high-trust communities that they might seem as though they'll be obvious to everyone. And then your software makes it way to the public and you realize that those were just assumptions and not written into the letter of agreement at any point.

I'm speaking as an outside observer on this.
The author whines about progressive events existing without conservative events. He never describes what sort of conservative events he would want to see.

Idk about foundational but...

A lot of philosophical and moral questions are fairly universal. They get discussed in ancient law codes, scripture & modern parliaments. Is prostituion immoral? What defines rape? King Cyrus ruled on these. They're discussed in the Bible. You'll find similar debates in modern courts and legislatures.

For Odysseus, some big philosophical themes are hubris/pride, worthiness. Ancient Greek literature is pretty obsessed with these, especially pride.

These aren't really big moral themes/questions today, but they are pretty popular literary themes. Maybe it's universality. Maybe it's Greek influence. Maybe it's coincidence.

I don't think these texts surveillance be because of universality. I do think that because they survived, we learn that some things are pretty universal, that we have deep spiritual similarity to bronze age Aegean pirates.
I bought a laptop last week and made sure not to get a Macbook for the simple reason that I cannot stand the keyboard. I got a Dell line business laptop (Latitude). Although it’s priced more highly than other laptops with the same specs, the keyboard and feel of it are unbelievably good. It’s probably my favorite dev machine I’ve ever used. I know the attitude towards Windows machines, and maybe even Dell, but I would suggest people walk into a store and just feel one of these in person. It’s incredible

I don't think this really changes anything with MongoDB and how open or closed it is in practice. This really is just MongoDB clarifying their original intent with picking the AGPL. Basically, if you're going to offer MongoDB as a service, you either need to make all your service's code freely available, or you need a commercial relationship with MongoDB. This doesn't change anything for users of the software that are building applications.

This is just another highlight of the cloud vendors making it very difficult to build a business based on open source infrastructure software. Either you pick an infectious license (like AGPL) or you go open core. Otherwise, if your project gets popular, the cloud providers will offer it as a service, which will eat into your revenue.
> Having four USB-C ports with identical capabilities on a MacBook pro is a more pragmatic and flexible solution to have, when compared to MagSafe.

A more pragmatic solution to what? Everything I plug into these ports is via some ugly after-market adapter. There is not a single natively USB-C peripheral or cable that I have ever needed to attach (other than the power cable, of course). Even the iPhone itself is incompatible.

Luckily it's only a work machine and I get to use my older personal MBP at home...
Bitfinex’s New ‘Fiat Deposit System’ Is Already Raising Red Flags
A huge amount of money was lost in online grocery delivery in the dot-com crash which probably scared off most new entrants for a long time. I've had Peapod available for over 10 years but I think that's still the only option I have 40 miles outside of a major metro in the US.
Your argument seems absurd to me. The price break exists because it's a good deal for airline and long distance flier. Abusing this system only ends in two ways: airlines punish short-stoppers, or raise prices on everyone.
I'm willing to bet that the necessary genes already exist in the population, since the bugs already handle daily temperature swings that are much larger than the increases from climate change.

Given that, a few dozen generations is plenty. And insect generations are for the most part quite short.

Alibaba & Tencent have been offering managed MongoDB offerings for a while but MongoDB, Inc. has historically not made any major investment in its own managed offering (Atlas) for that market.

This license shift is aimed squarely at AWS, who is rumored to be ready to announce/release their own MongoDB-compatible service at AWS re:Invent next month.
Consider that security you can't possibly verify is just marketing.

Maybe try listening to those nerds and try out some open alternatives with security that is possible to verify.

There is actually an international attempt to do that, but I don't know much about it.

Even among liberal-minded people, the politics and culture presented at colleges is exceedingly narrow.

Regardless, colleges should deal with bad ideas by acknowledging and refuting them, not pretending they don't exist.

I have a theory that people born after about 1980 don't really understand bigotry they just know there are certain things they can't say and certain things they should say. That leaves them ignorant of the root causes and it can manifest in other forms and not be recognized as bigotry.

Much better to have open intellectual discussion than to pretend bad ideas don't exist.

I've never had to manually edit merge history in Git like SVN forces when merging complicated branch hierarchies. SVN is basically a half implemented VCS where the guts are exposed and you tread lightly whenever doing anything the original design didn't anticipate like ubiquitous merging.

Dust is woefully underspecified and uses an ancient design with no forward secrecy and no (specified) message or sender authentication of any kind.

My absolute favorite feature from older Macbooks was the access panel on the bottom for swapping the battery and hard drive. I'm not sure what models have them; I have a standard Macbook from ~2008 that has it. You just press a lever and the panel comes right off, exposing the user-serviceable parts. You could swap the battery using no tools in about 10 seconds. Or you could swap the hard drive using a screwdriver in a few minutes.
I've never been sure whether or not this is a problem. Academics are not a representative cross-section of the American people, so there's no real reason to expect their political opinions to be representative.

I would argue that professors should know better than the general public. In that case, we should want to see true beliefs over-represented and false ones under-represented. So-called liberal and conservative beliefs are often mutually exclusive. That means that at most one of them can be true. Wouldn't that suggest that, if academics are doing their job of finding the truth, they should be biased? If professors were half liberal and half conservative, that means that at least 50% of them are wrong.

If liberal beliefs are true, this bias might be what we want. If they're false, of course, then it clearly isn't.

Or maybe not. Professors and administrators are responsible for teaching. There is certainly an argument to be made that a diversity of viewpoints is useful. Informed and well-reasoned positions might be useful for education even if half of them are wrong. And a spirited debate among peers could help everyone learn and come closer to the truth.

If the bias were the other way, with 90% of administrators being conservatives, would this author be saying the same things? Would I be saying the same things? I think the answer to both is "probably not." Or, if we said the same things, we'd definitely feel differently about them.
Even though I'm not a "non-technical" user, I don't review crypto of my XMPP client. And that's fine, I know a few people that did and I trust them enough. This way I don't have to trust an entity that may benefit from being able to access my messages.

Also, this is a fallacy. Just because "typical user" won't care or won't be able to do something doesn't mean we shouldn't strive to build and popularize platforms that do right things. Of course it also has to be good at what users actually do care for to have any chance of taking off, but that's not the point.
"I've never performed a plank or crunch in the many, many, years I've been squatting and it's never been a problem. If you try any sort of slow steady progression you don't need to - things adapt to take care of themselves. I've put well over 500 lbs on the bar and never worried about my core."

In a perfect world, this is true - and I wish you continued good luck and health.

However, you should reflect on the mechanical advantages and levers that your body is capable of producing as it curves and flexes around a particular joint ...

500 lbs distributed nicely and evenly across all of your vertebrae works quite nicely ... but all you need is a little twist ... a little hiccup ... just two or three vertebrae coming into line instead of a gentle curve ... and you suddenly have multi-hundreds of pounds on one little lever.

Not to spoil it for you, but the squishy little disc loses.

I am a huge proponent of back squats without aids - like belts - for the purpose of developing natural core strength like what you have experienced, but it is very, very cheap insurance to work your abs/back/sides in addition.

It's the response to Greenspun's tenth rule that mentions Prolog explicitly.
My previous comment states that AI programs written in Lisp implemented an
interpreter for a logic programming language, unspecified. Although to be
fair, that usually means "an informally-specified, ad-hoc, bug-ridden, slow
implementation of Prolog" (1).

Now, my knowledge of Eliza, Shrdlu, etc is a little limited (I've never read
the source, say; btw, have you?) but let's see. Wikipedia is my friend, below.

According to wikipedia MYCIN was a backwards chaining expert system. That
means a logic programming loop, very likely a resolution-based theorem prover,
or, really, (1).

ELIZA was first implemented in MAD-SLIP, which, despite the name was not a
Lisp variant (although it was a list-processing language). STUDENT is
actually part of ELIZA- it's one of the two scripts that came with the
original implementation, by Wizenbaum. The other script is DOCTOR, which is
the one more often associated with ELIZA (it's the psychoanalyst). If I
understand correctly, STUDENT solves logic problems, so I'm guessing it
incorporates an automated theorem prover; so basically, (1).

Eurisko was written in a frame-based (think OOP) representation language
called RLL-1, the interpeter for which was written in Lisp.

SHRDLU was written in Lisp and MicroPlanner an early logic programming
language (with forward chaining, if memory serves). In the event, (1) was not
necessary, as MicroPlanner was already all that- and more!

The Automated Mathematician (AM) was indeed written in Lisp, but I don't know
anything about its implementation. However, from the description on its
wikipedia page it appears to have included a very basic inference procedure
and a rule-base of heuristics. Sounds like a case of (1) to me.
