Difference is subtle but outcome significant. When iterating over people - everyone will often think about themselves and what they have to do today. When iterating over tasks - everyone is involved in common goal. You are focusing on tasks needed to be done to complete the sprint. Few times already, during former type of standup, I've experienced repetitive answering the same questions everyday. People stopped caring about them at all.
The Evolution and Disappearance of GoogMetrics Explained
> If the first thing thousands of users do after installing WordPress is to pay for a page builder plugin to be able to work with their content in the way they want, that's a problem

Or, it's an opportunity. Look at Shopify - is it a problem that the first thing a new Shopify user does is to head to the Shopify app store to buy and install a handful of plugins?

I absolutely agree with you regarding regenerative agriculture and moving towards a plant based diet. We have to do that so we can stop destroying the soil and can actually produce food with adequate nutrition.

With regards to intensive grazing it appears that some farms do do it and there have been some studies that suggest it does work. For instance this study (of which I've only read the abstract) seems to support the technique - http://www.publish.csiro.au/sr/SR07220

There are quite a few more studies and supporting material on this site http://www.regenerateland.com I won't pretend to have read them all but from the few abstracts that I have read it seems to be based in science.

As a vegan I don't want to see more animals being killed and eaten, however if farmers are going to keep farming then they should do it this way (and using silvopasture we need multiple approaches!). However if ensuring the survival of the planet involves using animals to do some work then I'm definitely open to it.

Something which may be of additional interest to you are Forest Gardens which seem to be pretty good at optimising a whole system https://www.agroforestry.co.uk/about-agroforestry/forest-gar.... The book "Creating a Forest Garden" by Martin Crawford is definitely worth checking out if only for the wealth of information regarding types of plants and their use.
this is the truth! I've been a linux user since 95' more migrating to windows on the desktop now that I'm getting older. I've tried gaming in linux throughout the years (even very recently). And this is a big issue, first getting games to work is actually most times a PITA, and one slight update can break what you had going.. It's difficult to invest in a game if you never know when it might break on your OS.
Either women are strong and independent or we live in a patriarchal society where they have too many responsibilities.

In any case if the husband is sleeping around, having to pay $6 for sex is a surefire way of make him sleep around more. Maybe these women should show they have more leverage here than the access to their hole if they want to prove their worthiness.
This is a naive response I see given to iPhone users when they ask about how to get a certain feature. It’s obvious no research was put into this answer as a sibling comment to yours clearly helped out by suggesting Charles proxy which is now available natively on iOS.

The Gift of Death
Sadly that’s the state of the world - most research is funded by those who stand to gain from it. It’s not good, but the study designs are. Assuming they aren’t just falsifying data (which does happen, but is rare), then good study design limits the ability to influence results.

Also, this is an inexpensive, over-the-counter treatment for mild to moderate anxiety. So I am comfortable considering a treatment with more modest research support, particularly if the patient has tried and failed other better-supported interventions, or refuses to try them.
FWIW, B12 is something that everyone gets from fortification. It's just that, with animal products, it doesn't need to go on the ingredients label because it gets there by putting it in the animals' feed.
Pathological consumption has become so normalised that we scarcely notice it.
I definitely see how that could be inferred, but here it actually isn't the case. I need something that works just for me, so the ease of use from anyone else isn't really a concern.
> I'm unsure what the sedentary life style has to due with not getting adequate nutrition. A balanced vegan diet generally will easily cover all your bases. The only worry is B12, and even that is easily overcome with fortified milk alternatives.

It's easy: You need a certain amount of trace elements every day: Some iron, some minerals, etc. The food you eat contains a bit of that. If you don't eat enough of that food, you don't get enough of the trace elements. A balanced vegetarian diet is fine, but if you eat little (and you will, if you only need, say, 1500 calories a day), you may not get enough of everything. When that's said, maybe you do - depending on exactly what you eat, but as you said yourself, B12 could be a problem.

Go biking - hard - for four hours after (physical) work, and you'll have to eat enormous amounts (relatively speaking) of the same food, and you'll definitely get enough of everything.

The biggest problem is for those who try to live on uncooked vegetables. For some reason they think that it's just the thing, but humans evolved away from that diet a very long time ago, before we were homo sapiens. We don't have the jaws, the teeth, the guts to digest enough nutrients from raw vegetables only. If you live on that, you'll need supplements.

But let's go back to my initial statement:
"The general rule is: You don't need supplements."
What you are saying doesn't contradict that. What I meant with my too long additonal comments was just that the more you need to eat (e.g. due to exercise), the less supplements you need - if you ever needed any at all. Which is the opposite of how certain "health" and training magazines state it.
yeah sure at an academic level arabic is tres beautiful just like french but realistically none of that translates to everyday spoken arabic to the point where you have to learn a different dialect based on who you want to sound like - a denizen of a country, a foreigner or a bedouin.
arabic is one of those languages where there are so many local modifications going on it's insane amounts of effort to be known as "fluent" and "understandable". people in arabia even use emojis differently for crissakes
I just did you a huge favor listing those books because, of the hundreds I've read, these few are particularly telling, relevant, and accessible.

You now want me to synthesize a co-review of them all? That's actually a fantastic idea, which I am now more seriously considering, but I won't do it out of charity to those privileged enough to frequent this website.
Beautiful. Fitting symbolism.

As for the human remains furthest from the earth, I think the record would go to the graduate student that lacquered a bit of their fingernail into the radio module circuit board they were processing for Voyager. The story at my college (possibly apocryphal) says on impulse they stuck a tiny bit of themselves into the resin they were painting onto an instrument circuit board. If true they would be currently about 144AU(?) from Earth, and ultimately approach another star system (in 17000 years)

Think about the amount of green tea (the plant) that you actually consume in a cup of tea. Even if it's loose tea and you've done a sloppy job, perhaps a few granules.

The only childish thing is the reconstruction methods they used.

Yes, they where painted in skin tones, but not like in #ff3399 or something. The reconstructions are unrealistic.

Of course it's still possible that the statues were tacky, but not _that_ tacky. They weren't painted with damn crayons.

I refuse to add this to my code. The nouveau driver is good enough for most people who aren't buying new cards, and if you're buying a new card you should give your money to a company that cares about FOSS.
Without any precedent on concrete examples of what is legitimate and what is not, this clause in the GDPR is its biggest weakness.

If a company sells something online they only really need your address & name for delivery + credit card details. Then you could argue it is legitimate to use an email to create an account, fair enough. But without precedent it's so easy to just say 'in order to increase revenue (legitimate intrest) we're going to use all emails to send a newsletter, boosting sales'. And then you could use the 'Right to object' in the GDPR as a fallback for your actions.

I know of multiple companies where they prior to GDPR asked for explicit concent during signup for being allowed to send newsletters, but who post-GDPR dropped the concent and use 'Legitimate intrests' to justify it. Basically leaving the individual worse off.
React is a library and can be used as a thin layer over plain JS. It's just often not used that way.

As with all libraries, you still have to be good at organizing your code for it to help you in the long-run. That's a lot of the appeal (and problem) of full frameworks: it decides how to organize your code for you.

Understand JavaScript’s “this” with Clarity, and Master It
It doesn't necessarily mean the GaaSs (and equally PaaSs) will utilize the new region, there's a couple reasons, sometimes dependent services are rolled out slowly elsewhere - e.g. bigquery, cloud/pub, even their end user Workmail has limited regions, in addition sometimes the egress network and compute charges could be a multiple of us-east/west making the offering prohibitively expensive, and then it depends on the local connectivity itself, if major eyeball / gamer ISPs won't peer initially it might just be as well hosting in nearest Europe region to avoid the double RTL - you see this effect in markets like Singapore with Singtel, Germany with DTAC, and to a degree US with Comcast when server providers pick up local transit from HE/cogent even NTT in some parts - when AWS opened Singapore it was universally terrible routing until they got aggressive about peering and remote peering in the region.

Good news nonetheless, early days though...

He's probably not sleeping around for free, so $6 might be cheaper.

You might think that sex with his wife was earlier free, but it was happening only when she wasn't mad at him, which was probably not very often.

So either be on your best behavior and occassionally get sex for free, or pay $6 when you want and almost always get sex. Those men probably already chose the second option just with other women and for higher price.

Might work. Also strangely it might bring couples together because having sex with someone just mechanically improves stability of the relationship.
Fourier series for Jacobi elliptic functions
The novel occurs on a free-roaming neutron star that has stabilized enough due to its isolation to permit life. Along with the open question of whether "nuclear chemistry" is possible, it would certainly be an open question as to whether it is truly possible for a neutron star to ever stabilize enough for life. I don't think it's much of a spoiler since it's right in the title... the second one, Starquake, centers around a neutron-star quake that happens to the Cheela civilization. Neutron star quakes are so devastating that the human ships and the humans are quite badly shaken up, merely being in orbit around a neutron quake. (Imagine satellites being destroyed because of a quake on Earth. We're very low mass, we don't think of things like that. Though I'm sure we can tell the differences in some trajectories from quakes and seaslides.)

Note that this only addresses the lawfulness of the processing under Article 6 GDPR, which itself is only one of the required
principles relating to the processing of personal data that must be upheld under Article 5.

Other principles that must be upheld, for example, are data minimization (lit c) or storage minimization (lit e).

I know that one of the supervisory authorities has already ruled that the principle of data minimization trumps the lawfulness argument of "legitimate interests" in certain cases. Certain records must be destroyed when the legally mandated terms for keeping them have expired (eg 7 years).

> resounding and continuous success among developers

Purely anecdotal, but from a hiring stand point, it's extremely difficult to find good software engineers that are willing to work on or maintain a Wordpress-based project even as part of their duties. No one seems to want to touch it. I have yet to come across any engineer that would classify Wordpress as a resounding success in their eyes.
I agree with you that’s its probably the worst case. But let’s explore, I also need a new TV, well not need but it’s been around 10 years figure I want to see what’s up in the TV market. This time there was one new review site I was happy to see called rtings that I hadn’t heard about. But between thats was 50 versions of better buy and the like.

That is exactly the legal advice we received (UK online estate agent). My guess is that so many companies are doing this, it will end up in the UK Supreme Court (post-Brexit). Even if they rule against the companies, there will most likely be a moratorium on those currently failing to comply rather than 1000s of companies being fined.

When Are “Fair” ML Algorithms Better Than Accurate Ones? With Osonde Osoba
The situation is pretty similar for both. If your driver isn't part of the install, you have to go find it on the internet. With Windows, this usually isn't too bad because it has stable driver ABIs, but with Linux you may have to compile the driver to get it to work.

That said, it's been a long time since I last saw this situation on either OS.
Not everyone is on Ubuntu.

Up till about 100 years ago, most of today's Arabic speaking areas were at least nominally under Turkish suzeranity, Turkey also was the centre of the Islamic world for so long, I wonder if the Turks did not try to replace Arabic with Turkish?
So, 25% more work achieved for the company and it's shareholders/owners, have a banana?
Totally. This was another thing that bugged me to no end trying to separate the wheat from the chaff so to speak. I went with JontyCraft which I originally found on amazon and then cross referenced myself. Seems like they are US based and when they arrived the chair was extremely solid no toddler is going to break it I think adults if they could fit it could sit fine it’s so well made.
Is it as regional as Arabic, though?

I don't speak Arabic, but my understanding is that someone from Morocco can't necessarily hold an easy conversation with someone from Qatar.

Whereas, I can name very few varieties of English that aren't easily mutually intelligible with basically all of the rest of the English-speaking world - patois and gullah, for example.
Because Turkey is a very heterogeneous country with different people mostly deeply disliking each other (sad but true). Diversity != tolerance. I lived in the Bay Area and Boston area for years, and for example, these cities are more ethnically and racially diverse, but in my experience Istanbul is much more culturally rich (i.e. there are more heterogeneous groups). Inside this group there are "secular" and "religious" Turks who are roughly half of Turks. Due to years of politics and other stuff, these groups deeply hate each other. They try to live differently, act different, eat different stuff and even talk different languages. I grew up in a "secular" middle/upper class Turkish family (my family was also non-practicing Muslim) and when I met more religious people in my high school years it was clear even the language we speak was different. For me, I grew up in a bubble and never had any contact with any culture other than mine (except some Jewish people who were majority where I lived). Anyway, pretty much all groups had a similar experience, but when one of them has the power, they basically try to control everyone and this brings insane amount of frustration to other side. The entire political history of the Republic is all about seculars trying to make conservatives secular and vice versa. This is so crazy it affects things like language, education, art etc... I was very frustrated of this whole mess and luckily (thanks to my family's wealth) I went to US for undergrad to restart my life.
