Pebble was my watch for years until Garmin released the vivoactive HR. While Garmin loses style points compared to Pebble, it has much better features and durability.

The first weekend I had it, I tested it by wearing it on a Tough Mudder...it survived without a scratch. 2 years later and the Garmin battery life is still over a week. If you miss Pebble and want something still being updated, look at the Garmin watches (but I wouldn't go any lower than the current vivoactive3 line)
I think we disagree in a couple major ways. I don't take at face value the text written by the creators of an ideology to be its only ideas, without searching for subtext or underlying motivations. I also don't think that the actions that people take under the banner of a political ideology are necessarily separate from that ideology. Those are interpretative generosities rarely extended to political ideologies. I'm very cautious to extend them to Marxism given the bloody history of regimes that believe in it. For your information, I have read the Manifesto and Capital. I do not think that's all there is to Marxism.
I recognize that the author is using the term Blood Money like Blood Diamond, as a way of saying that the investment dollars are tainted by violence. But the term Blood Money already has a meaning in English, which is a payment to settle the feelings of a family for the loss of a loved one, and prevent revenge. It's not very common among northern Europeans, but is part of the culture of Arabs and, supposedly, Sicilian mafiosi. The US paid lots of blood money over the years to attempt to quell vengeance for collateral damage or incorrect targeting, and even in some cases for legitimate killings of battlefield opponents.

This might be pedantic, but legally speaking, if you were to "pay a politician" for voting a certain way, it would be highly illegal. "quid pro quo", on a campaign contribution or a porsche or a briefcase of cash is all illegal.
I'm not sure where you are getting your numbers, but the construction industry has long had notoriously slow productivity growth. In the US, labor productivity in construction has stayed essentially flat since 1947, and decreased since its peak in 1968.

Yes, but under the circumstances, I'm unconvinced that hypocrisy is a bad thing. Consistency is overrated. It's good when people change their minds. Rigidly sticking with the same bad position seems like a bigger problem?

Consider this a lesson on serverlessness. (We have been similarly afflicted, but their git backend seems to be up; and even further, we have rediscovered what we stopped paying attention to: that with Git, a centralized repo is just a convenience, not a requirement.)
On the relationship between persuasion and force from a psychoanalytical perspective, Zizek has a nice example showing in what ways persuasion can actually be more subversive:

>The psychoanalytic concept that designates the short-circuit between the repression and what it represses is the superego. As Lacan emphasised again and again, the essential content of the superego’s injunction is ‘Enjoy!’ A father works hard to organise a Sunday excursion, which has to be postponed again and again. When it finally takes place, he is fed up with the whole idea and shouts at his children: ‘Now you’d better enjoy it!’ The superego works in a different way from the symbolic law. The parental figure who is simply ‘repressive’ in the mode of symbolic authority tells a child: ‘You must go to grandma’s birthday party and behave nicely, even if you are bored to death – I don’t care whether you want to, just do it!’ The superego figure, in contrast, says to the child: ‘Although you know how much grandma would like to see you, you should go to her party only if you really want to – if you don’t, you should stay at home.’ The trick performed by the superego is to seem to offer the child a free choice, when, as every child knows, he is not being given any choice at all. Worse than that, he is being given an order and told to smile at the same time. Not only: ‘You must visit your grandma, whatever you feel,’ but: ‘You must visit your grandma, and you must be glad to do it!’ The superego orders you to enjoy doing what you have to do. What happens, after all, if the child takes it that he has a genuinely free choice and says ‘no’? The parent will make him feel terrible. ‘How can you say that!’ his mother will say: ‘How can you be so cruel! What did your poor grandma do to make you not want to see her?’
The whole point of SS is to be a reliable backstop you can count on even if “wiser” investment strategies fail.
No, of course not. I'd do what's best for me, my family, and my finances. As a conservative individual, there are BOATLOADS of mainstream organizations that make "moral choices" I don't agree with and I don't hesitate for a second to work for them or give them my all.
"By very definition, it is about paying a person in a position of power to make a decision that is in your favor."

Why do you think that is? Is it Ideology? Or is it just profitable to get that decision in their favor?
Yes, they could, but no significant part of OpenSolaris was GPL -- it was all, as much as possible, CDDL. When Oracle killed OpenSolaris that did not cause the previously CDDL'ed code to be no-longer open source, and indeed, there was a fork: Illumos.
>> CoC assumes contributions are primarily due to the conduct of the community and not the intellect/interest of the contributor

> No.

Yes. If that weren't the case there would be no need for a CoC. Kroah-Hartman's justification for the CoC is the longevity of the project, but the longevity of the project is not affected in any significant way by the conduct of its contributors. Evidence of that is the current success of Linux, which had no CoC for 20 years. Adding the CoC condition will have no noticeable positive effect on the longevity of the project: Linux isn't going anywhere, CoC notwithstanding.

>> The quality of a community isn't primarily measured by its conduct but rather its accomplishments

> Measuring the two is a possibility. That you don't, yourself, include the conduct of a community in your measure of its quality is your choice and yours only.

It's not my choice, it's the truth. Community conduct is not a requirement for a successful project but accomplishments are. Never have seen a project with good conduct but no accomplishments succeed, but I've seen many projects with bad conduct and many accomplishments succeed.

>> I'm curious as to what led to this broadly wrong evaluation of the situation. What lead you to believe that?

You're the one who is wrong, as shown in my trivial counter examples. Simple logic and evidence are the tools I use to evaluate situations accurately.
That quotation is a joke, state in irony in a thread about how much abuse someone is receiving for even proposing a change to the rules.

It's disingenuous in the extreme to present that as a tweet that honestly reflected a goal, and anyone who takes a second to click "show thread" and looks around will see it's a tweet made in jest.

Actions like this are misinformation. The question I'm left asking is, "Did folknor know this is not what the tweet meant, and just doesn't care? Or did folknor just not bother to check if this reference was meaningful and valid?" Neither shines a positive light on this argument.
Currently there is concern that the new form of the H7N9 virus in China could morph into a form as lethal as the 1918 Spanish flu which killed up to five percent of world's population. Forewarned is forearmed. But it seems:

This hn thread is a perfect example of a news bubble. Googling "fbclid" returns the answer in the first result, but hn votes up an article that has no information and treats it as some secret tracking that fb has implemented. HN is excessively biased against any discussion of tracking/analytics on the internet. The community allows no room for true discussion - only blatantly biased opinions.

Long time macbook user here who just received a used T450 in the mail last week. I bought it just to have access to a Windows machine and I plan to install linux onto it as well.

Initial impressions: I really like it! Very solid little machine, and I really like the keyboard feel as well. After years with Apple, the Thinkpad screen and trackpad are pretty crappy in comparison, but overall I love using it. Currently looking into upgrading the display to a 1080 IPS...
Affirmative action is racist.

Accepting that, you can of course debate what sorts of racism we should allow, and perhaps even encourage. I probably disagree with you, but that's just my opinion.
This is actually fantastic news for advertisers that have their own data warehouses and need to create a better 1-to-1 click tracking to internal user data. This allows much better attribution and testing of incrementality so businesses can tell where their value is truly coming from.

I’m pretty excited to see this roll out more broadly.

I don't think Internet anonymity is a thing though.

Even if you make a fully unrelated identity, smearing that identity is enough to discredit your ability to engage online. Sure, you can make another and another, but starting over with zero online credibility is the same thing as losing all your credibility.
I would agree...and many of these pension boards are so bad they can't even to that.
Production and Learning in Teams
Amazon wants to automate & eliminate manual tasks, not add more manual tasks to what they've already got.

But Amazon's bright sparks might be able to come up with an automated approach to solving this problem (e.g. via machine learning to identify the suspicious patterns of behaviour that Which? and others have observed) if they are suitably incentivised (e.g. sufficiently embarrassed)

Clickbait is usually sensationalist. It promises something so intriguing/attractive that you click because the potential payoff is higher than the cost of clicking. It's kind of just good title writing taken to the extreme, if you think of a good title as something that intrigues you (but delivers on the intrigue) or makes a promise (but fulfills that promise with the content.

I've been trying to think of an apt clickbait title for this piece for the last few minutes, but can't: I think, because the article isn't really saying much that's new at all.

The effect of coworkers on the learning and the productivity of an individual is measured combining theory and data. The theory is a frictional equilibrium model of the labor market in which production and the accumulation of human capital of an individual are allowed to depend on the human capital of coworkers. The data is a matched employer-employee dataset of US firms and workers. The measured production function is supermodular. The measured human capital function is non-linear: Workers catch-up to more knowledgeable coworkers, but are not dragged-down by less knowledgeable ones. The market equilibrium features a pattern of sorting of coworkers across teams that is inefficiently positive. This inefficiency results in low human capital individuals having too few chances to learn from more knowledgeable coworkers and, in turn, in a stock of human capital and a flow of output that are inefficiently low.

I don't think the problem is compensation. The problem is awarding overtime only in the last year, so that your pay and benefits can go up forever till you are entitled to pensions. This creates a situation where your pension + benefits can be in the ballpark of half a million dollars all life.

No one, no investment, no taxation can pay for something like that.

>>Pensions are a fine tool but they have to be funded responsibly

And who is going to fund them? As of now California tax payers are paying for pensions. Surely this is not a sustainable way of running things?
I'm not passing judgment but I think it depends on the market. If there was a recession and tech jobs were harder to find and at a lower rate, then people would take jobs with more questionable funding/mission. Part of the reason we are seeing more people mic drop is because they can walk away to something just as good.
Out of curiosity, which fund would that be?
I recommend heroku for automatic deployment. If you are using aws, the elastic beanstalk can see your business. For digitalocean (or linode) you can deployment using nginx (reverse proxy) and pm2. Most of the github issues can be open because it is absurd (maybe).

Neeral-based computing paradigms go as far back as the 1950s.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perceptron

Leslie Valiant proposed a mathematical model for human learning (and mostly applied to machine learning theory) in the 1980s, and it's been been refined to more explicftly Bayesian models recently:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Probably_approximately_correct...

http://web.mit.edu/6.435/www/Valiant84.pdf

Anyway, these aren't intended to be faithful models of hmuan brains, but more loosely inspired by functions observed in human brains. There's on good reasoning that an naturally evolved human brain would operate under one simple, sound, fundamental computing principle. It's far more likely to be a mishmash of unsound models, like all evolved physical characteristics of animals.

The numbers here are just real estate - speed is going to be a big "it depends" that can't really be predicted just from area.

(in general, cache speed is more affected by size, and that's an architectural decision -- see, for example, Intel's move to a 1MB L2 in Skylake-X instead of a 256KB L2 (11 cycles -> 13 cycles, but Intel did a lot of work to try to speed up the cache to reduce the pain)).

I see the religious part of this CoC as purely incidental to the source material (it being 15 centuries old and aimed at christian monks). It's clearly not meat to be taken serious, even though I'd agree with a lot of the common sense points listed. Now, being a bit annoyed at the religious implications is not being really angry and blowing things out of proportion. Being annoyed still leaves room for discussion. What I meant is the major poop flinging through major publications that will undoubtedly follow over the next few days, activating large swaths of those people I mentioned. Those who thrive on nonconstructive anger. In general I'd agree with you, just leave religion out of it, even when it's (or especially?) in a joking manner. Edit: Typo

The irony of unkind communication in a thread discussing new guidelines around kind communication is just painful.

If I were the type of the anti-"diversity" person, my retort to this would be that you are obviously attempting to censor my free speech, by making certain types of speech out of bounds, and then assert that free speech is a good in itself -- one of the highest, if not the single highest such good -- and then rain down anger upon you for doing so.

Further, I would retreat into weaponizing your own advocated guidelines against you, by asserting that you have uncharitably read things (such as accusation) into my statement when they were not present in the plain text, and then calling for you to be held accountable for the violation.

Consider that that's what you are implicitly supporting when you suggest that a factual statement -- people either are not paying attention, or are being misinformed -- is unkind.

I mean that's pretty much how it works in practice, I don't think there's really a need to codify "you can get away with being insufferable so long as you're valuable enough." It's not exactly a goal to strive for and more something that is tolerated until another options presents.

It's really sad that Lenovo has driven the design into the ground. I have a X201 running NixOS, that I still use from time to time, and I pulled it out recently to show it to friends. Physically speaking it's a revelation.

Three USB ports? Check. Because even today, one port permanently has a YubiKey Nano, one port permanently has a Logitech Unifying nano receiver, and I'll probably be charging my phone out of the third at some point and I'd rather not lose either of the two nano dongles because I had to temporarily unplug them and misplaced them in the process.

Mobile radio? Check. Because who likes to fiddle around with pairing their phone to their laptop when they're on the train?

Drainage ports if you have a minor spill? Check.

Drainage ports in the dock, which match up with the drainage ports on the laptop itself? Check

Dock allows you to charge an extra battery while the laptop itself is charging? Check.

ThinkLight in the screen to illuminate the keyboard without requiring you to bump up the brightness on the screen and take a bigger hit to battery life? Check.

Mechanical latch on the right side, where your hand is naturally located, allowing you to push the screen up with your right hand on the right side of the machine, and push down on the bottom half with your left hand on the left hand side of the machine? Check.

Six-key home/end/insert/delete/pgup/pgdwn cluster that mirrors that on a desktop keyboard? Check.

Dedicated page back and page forward buttons, baked into the arrow key nav cluster, so that you don't need a two-key combo to go back and forward? Check.

TrackPoint lets you mouse without removing hands from the home row? Check.

LED status indicators for disk and network usage? Check.

Physical WiFi switch? Check.

10/10 repairability? Check.

All Lenovo needed to do was to refresh the processor etc. every year, maybe introduce new ports as they came out, and not screw around with a formula that didn't need to be changed. Sigh.
> As you said, the problem with this is its gimmicky; not productive.

Things like that being gimmicky is not the major problem. The major problem is they rely on 3D hardware which (or its drivers probably) is always more or less quirky. I have not seen a single PC on which Compiz would perform reliably without occasional crashes and/or artifacts and I can see no practical reason for a window manager to use hardware 3D as window decorations are not that hard to render, alt+tab task-switching 3D cube is hardly useful and wobbly windows effect is not just useless but also annoying. I believe there should be a category of "wow! cool!" window managers with all kinds of Hollywood effects for fancy demos, cool kids, drivers debugging and concept experimentation but no serous distro should rely on them the way Canonical did cementing a Compiz into Unity.

At the same time I would love to try a WM like the one by the link running in a VR environment and controlled with old-school cyberpunk VR gloves or something.
