Relatively "small" changes were made to Ruby since 2.0, but those changes are everywhere, and they seriously reshaped the language, preferred style, common patterns, and solution. So, one being introduced to language through Pickaxe will immediately be in possession of outdated knowledge.

"You" don't have standing to sue unless you have been harmed. He got a traffic citation, which is an extremely small harm. No lawyer would pick that up on contingency. Small claims court would throw it right out as frivolous without even considering the larger issues.

>At the early days of the broadly available internet I was sure it would lead to a more informed public, and from that a more accountable, responsible leadership. If anything we have gone in the opposite direction.

I've always thought the same. I suppose what may have happened instead is that exposure to corruption has been increased to the point of banality and normalization.
I never wanted to disable the app, only disable notifications. The app however, made this impossible. It kept having popups and kept redirect to settings to re-enable them. The popups were so bad it made using the app without push notifications impossible. So I just deleted it instead.
I refrained from installing FB on my phone at the last refresh. I don't mind FB, I even like it pretty well, but the app feels like it's constantly gathering data about myself, my friends, where I go, how long I'm there, etc., etc. The value proposition just isn't there for what I get from FB in exchange for the data they're getting. I still use the web FB, and that's fine.
> Another vexing problem for Ruth is the coverage the issue has gotten from local news, specifically News12, which is owned by CableVision who provides the internet service to the cameras at the lights. ...... When victims of the lights went to News12 about the deaths of their family members due to the shortened lights, News12 interviewed them, but never ran the story. And while other local media outlets report from Ruth’s point of view and most of the public’s, News12 has painted Ruth a criminal.

And yet we're supposed to treat the for-profit media in this country as sainted individuals, with no biases or influences whatsoever?

Priceline actually got renamed to Booking Holding earlier this year, to reflect the fact that Booking.com is by far the largest part of their turnover.
In my experience, the question is stronger than an insinuation, coming across as an accusation.
If the claim that standard 5 second yellow lights were shortened to 3 seconds for traffic cameras is true, Suffolk county officials should be ashamed. This is simply extortion.
So does the policy. Deliberately. This is 2% off the top.

You aren't buying from a UK company when you visit Amazon.co.uk, rather Amazon EU S.a.r.L (based in Luxembourg). This would take back 2% that is coming out of the pockets of UK consumers and being taxed (at a much lower rate) in Luxembourg.

The Amazon UK tax liability is barely anything. They put a handful of professional services through their books here, and most of that is wiped out by warehousing costs. As somebody else pointed out, Ed Sheeran pays more tax in the UK. It's madness.

Most multinationals do stuff like this... Because why wouldn't you? Some have argued it's their fiduciary duty to their shareholders to optimise their tax liabilities like this... But that doesn't mean we have to put up with it.
I started a healthcare company and we set up the business so that patient tests, and procedures are not profit centers for the company. We make money off of a recurring subscription model, (direct primary care) and publish all of our prices upfront. We negotiate rates with local providers on your behalf and do not mark up their pricing. People need to stop expecting that their insurance should cover literally everything. Medical billing is usually around 40-50% of the total overhead for running a clinic. You can get rid of that entirely if you switch to a cash model.

It will directly impact people who buy advertisement online in UK because Google and Facebook just raise price by 2% for them.
I'd argue politics has probably always been just as corrupt, if not more corrupt than it is now. We just know about it because they found out that when exposed the average person just doesn't care.
The answer to your problem of "large commit" is this:

1) Create "research prototype" of your solution.
But do not commit it or commit it into separate branch (not master).

2) Create a plan how to split that code into smaller steps.
Separate refactorings that will support your new feature - from your actual feature (that changes functionality).

3) Commit refactorings separately from your main feature commit. Keep every refactoring commit as small as possible).

4) At the end commit your functionality changing feature.
If possible, split it into multiple commits too.

That should help with code review.

Remember, your team will have to code review your code multiple times:

1) When you are making your commits.

2) When your code reviewer reviews it.

3) In the future, when you or other team members maintain your code and try to understand why you created code that way.

So - optimize your commit to reduce code review time (even if it increases initial code writing time).
Or having your car shot at. (With the caveat that my knowledge of kidnapping mostly comes from the Taken movies.)
I'm sorry if someone mislead you into thinking wealth was, or could be, fair.

Your analogy is so far off the mark on how wealth is created, it's laughable.

$10 billion in family wealth is almost never held in cash, it's invested in companies, land, and other ventures. Wherever an investment is made, people are put to work collecting salaries and benefits, generally speaking.

You've made a gross oversimplification, and a misleading one at that.

Most likely, the company would be fined and ordered to either sell off the company or agree to some other set of penalties. If they refused to pay the fine or perform their penalties, they could be banned from operating in the EU. They'd be unable to advertise in the EU, make deals with EU companies, employ people and set up datacentres in the EU, etc etc.

Companies like Facebook aren't "US based" in any way that means anything except for where their CEO normally works and which stock exchange their shares are traded on - they have operations that are central to their business all over the world, and many of those can be disrupted.

> When was the last time that you caught a significant bug with a test?

Constantly. This is an extremely surprising question to me, our unit tests catch bugs all the time.
That's cool, and while I was dismissive, I was making a valid point, I thought (the audience disagrees with me, judging by my downvotes).

The point I was trying to make was that the tragedy you're referencing targeted people because they were Jewish. Saying, "oh, but white people have to be fearful, too" dismisses the hate that drove this despicable act of terror, and it hides the purpose of it. Terrorist actions are meant to scare specific people, and white folks (by the terrorist's definition, which doesn't include Jews) aren't who this terrorist wanted to scare. He wanted to remind Jewish people of what he views as their proper place...running scared. He also had a history of white supremacist posts throughout his twitter and gab history. This was a racially motivated crime, don't downplay that by saying white people could be a target, too.

While we (white folks) could be the target of hate crimes, in the US today, we are not. Jewish folks, black and brown folks of all sorts, LGBTQ folks, are the target of hate crimes, and in growing numbers.
"Ed Sheeran" isn't a person. There is a person by that name, but when you high "Ed Sheeran" you don't address the check to him. It goes to a production company who then deducts associated expenses, from his personal trainer to his airfare. That company then pays the flesh-and-blood Sheeran a salary for services rendered. If he is anything like the other 99% of celebs, he keeps money in his production company and pays himself a salary low enough to meet his immediate needs, thereby avoiding or at least delaying income tax. This company will continue to pay him this salary long after he disappears from public life and, theoretically, could be making payments to his estate long after his death. Should he want more money for something like a house, as the only shareholder, he can issue to himself a dividend and pay income tax on that amount when it hits his personal account. Or he can take the money as a loan, and delay those taxes until later. Or his production company can "invest in real estate" by buying the house and renting it to him for dollar a year.

Celebs are not people. They are businesses.

The people who really get shafted on taxes are the like of professional athletes. The services they render their employers occur at very fixed times. They don't get to spread their income over decades as entertainers do.
Where's your proof that the documents definitely came from the Russians, and that Wikileaks knew who was providing it? If you manage those, do you think refusing to publish would have any meaningful impact?
I just got back from a three week vacation, and the travel-specific site I used most was TripAdvisor. I also used a lot of sites not specific to travel (like google maps and reddit).

Does TripAdivsor not qualify as a "major website about travel"? I don't actually know what share of travel-related web traffic they get, and I realize that Expedia and Priceline both own lots of other sites in the space.
I think we'll see a trend of cloud fragmentation again, once there are more good cloud software stacks. Imagine something like OpenShift + OpenStack + Ceph that does not suck and can be controlled by something like Terraform and support various types of hardware. That's just a crude example I can come up with quickly to demonstrate the concept. Something like that will enable many more types of players in the market and people can use a mix of them or self host.

It will be good for IBM to be in the middle of this, since the first such stacks will probably come from a large player that doesn't have a dominant existing cloud service. It will also be good for IBM's hardware expertise.

I think this trend will come, companies are getting locked into AWS almost deeper than some companies got themselves nailed to IE6 + .Net at some point. This is fine when the benefits appears to outweigh the risks, until it doesn't.
Sibling comments nail the issue as to why he doesn't just sue. So now he's doing something with much more bang for the buck, and is shouldering the risk entirely on his own.

Oh yeah there was a lot more I'd love to say about how arts quietly improve everyone's millieu even without active conscious consumption.

Using Windows in a VM is a necessity and the best solution if you need such programs but still want to use primarily Linux. How are you not getting this? Games aren't the only reason to use Wine, but Wine also doesn't solve everything.

This is relevant because games aren't the only thing holding back people from switching to Linux. As long as there are programs that don't work on Linux and for the foreseeable future won't ever work, plenty of people won't switch.

Having absurd amounts of money certainly doesn't make bias go away, but it definitely makes such bias more bearable. I've been subject to numerous indignities due to "shopping while black", I've also gone hungry and had to resort to sleeping under overpasses, the two are incomparable.

$28k a year in free money was an almost unimaginable sum to myself and many of my friends, most black but some white, when growing up. It's my general experience that people at this level of privilege don't have the ability to truly understand how privilege, or the lack thereof, impacts the entirety of your existence, and should refrain from castigating others for their perceived privileges, it's splitting hairs at this point.
There is plenty of innovation and quality tech in Europe and governments tend to levy taxes, in Europe, and elsewhere.

I beg to differ; it really stinks when one of those old diesel commuter trains goes by. They are also very noisy (electric trains are basically silent at the slow, slow speed of the MBTA commuter rail). Ask anyone who lives near or passes by the tracks regularly what they think - there's tens of thousands of us.

Article 41, Sec. 3 of the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations (and, depending on the degree of responsibility diplomatic staff have in contributing to Assange’s actions, possibly also Sec. 1 of the same article.)

> I can see them put in a situation where Britain doesn't respect Assange's diplomatic immunity,

Assange has never had diplomatic immunity; the issue is Ecuador allowing it's embassy to be used in a manner inconsistent with its diplomatic purpose, which, yes, is well past the point of an individual proposed diplomat being rejected by the receiving state.

It's a symptom of the way our industry works. Pick a metric and over optimise it.

Say you pick the "time to like a post" metric, then as an employee you're incentivised to put the most click-baitee article at the top.
Now if you pick the "number of ads displayed in feed without drop-out" you may have something similar too.

Rince and repeat and you end up with the mess we see.

Regarding Instagram, I noticed they started to retain posts from the timeline. So they encourage compulsive checking it the app.
Open it once : it shows 2 new posts, close it and open it again, 2 more posts, both old by at least a few hours.

They just rewarded your brain for checking the app compulsively. Once I noticed that I couldn't unsee it, and I closed my account.
I am guessing that they look for cheating based on actions in addition to scanning the memory looking for known cheats. Aimbots are pretty recognizable to experienced players, and no doubt some machine learning is going on to look for those patterns. This lets them stay ahead of the curve on exploits... if it looks like an aimbot, it doesn't matter that it's some new binary they haven't yet heard of.
I understand your desire to draw a better analogy, but imagine for a moment that the point of talking in a theatre is not so much to express an opinion but to cause other people discomfort or harm.

These are people who think it’s okay so shout in the streets, “death to the Jews!” Because they of course are not actually killing anyone. They don’t accept responsibility for their vocal protest encouraging someone who was already harbouring murderous thoughts to actually commit murder. They don’t accept that actions spring from ideas and ideas spring from words. They don’t accept that in a world where people aren’t actively blaming Jews for the world’s problems, the nascent anti-Semite will take no action because they are insufficiently motivated to take any action.

So in the talking in theatres analogy, the worst harm is that someone else doesn’t get to enjoy the movie. In real life the worst harm is that someone is encouraged to commit genocide.
Two things, public consumption and interest of local news has gone down, and local newspapers etc. have gone out of business/severely curtailed their coverage of local town hall meetings etc.

For so many years this was no problem for the western countrys, when this way came much money to us from africa and other poor places. The "license fee" thing is super old, it's propably the oldest way to "optimise" tax.
It makes us informed, but so much information saturates us and we end up not caring.
Yes there is, especially if it results in the consumer paying more for a product. That's the government taking (additional) money away from you, and handing it to a local company.

If that doesn't make sense, an example could help when you want to buy a hypothetical WidgetBox.

Amazon WidgetBox: $100.00

Local WidgetBox: $102.00

After the added tax on Amazon, now you have no choice but to pay $102.00 for something you could previously pay $100.00 for. In business speak, it's call "screwing you" - in the article it's dressed up as "helping local businesses (screw you)".
