I don’t think anyone is necessarily saying it’s good - just a necessary part of winning elections. Lots of people are forgetful or busy and may need some extra push to cast a ballot. If you have a political preference, it makes sense to try to get friends and family to vote with you. This kind of thing has happened in every election to some extents. The app just makes it a little creepier...
The BSD school I referred to is only related to BSD license terms, not defined by them. Many BSD school hackers use MIT or ISC or even Apache. I also mention FPL (0BSD), Unlicense, and especially WTFPL as distinctively BSD-school licenses.

The ideological wing that chooses those licenses, despite knowing businesses won’t accept them, wouldn’t choose GPL for personal work. It’s not a pragmatic position. It’s an activist one.
Tangential aside, but I have to admit that "You Do You: How to Be Who You Are and Use What You’ve Got to Get What You Want" is a perversely brilliant title: 20 single-syllable words strung up into a staccato yet cohesive whole.
I haven't been on any public transit where this would be seen as normal. I'm very curious in what region smiling at randos during a commute is typical.
Based on the footnote I'm fairly certain it was Ellemtel, a joint venture between Ericsson and Televerket (the Swedish national telecom before it was privatised), and the project was AXE-N:

The AXE-N venture was to be the most expensive industrial project in Sweden after Saab’s JAS fighter. One calculation estimates that it cost Ericsson SEK 10 billion. The project has often been described as a total failure.

Swedish wikipedia has more information:
https://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/AXE-N

Some people here might know Ellemtel from their C++ style guide, which was a byproduct of the AXE-N project. In Emacs "ellemtel" is one of the built in choices for CC Mode style.

I've used it in a startup that did motivation data transfers and it was the only way around. It was and likely will is patented which makes it less attractive and the places where it is the only solution are niche.
I've had entirely the opposite experience. Have you ever tried to install a package in Sublime? You have to use a separate tool, Package Control, whose installation instructions are arcane:

import urllib.request,os,hashlib; h = '6f4c264a24d933ce70df5dedcf1dcaee' + 'ebe013ee18cced0ef93d5f746d80ef60'; pf = 'Package Control.sublime-package'; ipp = sublime.installed_packages_path(); urllib.request.install_opener( urllib.request.build_opener( urllib.request.ProxyHandler()) ); by = urllib.request.urlopen( 'http://packagecontrol.io/' + pf.replace(' ', '%20')).read(); dh = hashlib.sha256(by).hexdigest(); print('Error validating download (got %s instead of %s), please try manual install' % (dh, h)) if dh != h else open(os.path.join( ipp, pf), 'wb' ).write(by)

And once it's installed interaction is limited to the textual omnimenu-thing, since Sublime's extension API is extremely limited. Package Control is awesome for what it is, but it's severely constrained by not being a first-class feature of the UI.

In VSCode, by contrast, there's a proper UI for extension installation that's part of the core product. Clicking on the extension brings up a full-viewport window with the README and quick links to the reviews and GitHub. I've had a lot of luck finding quality extensions by installing the official Microsoft extension, if one exists, or otherwise using number of downloads/reviews/GitHub activity as a rough proxy for quality.

JetBrains IDEs have a very similar extension installation experience to VSCode (i.e., good), but I've anecdotally found the available JetBrains extensions to be lower quality than their analogous VSCode extensions. For example, I _still_ can't find a good comment-wrapping plugin for JetBrains—everything I've tried has some weird deficiency, like not being able to wrap comments at a different column than the code width, or sometimes butchering surrounding code, etc.

I'll admit that the one frustration I have with VSCode is that there is no way, at least not that I've found, to export your entire configuration, both settings and plugins, and use that to bootstrap a new VSCode installation. I recently set up a new computer and spent the first few weeks rediscovering all the extensions I'd installed on my old computer.

I'm curious to know if there's an editor/IDE that you think has a far superior plugin experience than VSCode.
Why is that concerning? Seems to be a pretty racist statement to make.
Did you get past the part about existing divisions, to the discussion of how hybrid terms like SSPL appeal exclusively to business use cases, without activist support?
You grew up in Darwin? Awesome.

You felt nothing in Perth because Perth is just... there. :)
And nagging friends and family who make that choice is also legitimate :)
Various folks are talking about the fact that voter history (though not actual votes cast) is public information. I recently learned from a candidate for local office that the email address that I put down when registering to vote can be purchased by any candidate.

I didn't realize that by providing my email address on a government form, I would be opening myself up to spam from literally any candidate — local, state, or national. And of course, on all of these emails, it says at the bottom "you are receiving this email because you signed up on our website." Not exactly!
don't forget the landfill that tends to stink up every year when it starts to warm up.
Who you voted for is private. The fact that you voted is public- anyone can get that from the state, no need for you to volunteer it.
Gah, Queens? I was hoping they'd come a bit further upstate (like where IBM is/was in Poughkeepsie).
It didn't even need to be all the counties. Just the intersection set of (most vulnerable, least funded, key electoral battlegrounds) to run up the numbers slightly over the state MOE.
This thread is discussing self driving cars which would presumably not have either of those problems.
> Then again, maybe it will lead to an implosion of the party system and a shift to independent voters.

Ranked Choice voting would generally be a good move in that direction.

Edit I'm also going to add that this isn't a great time to sit on the fence:

I've used the JavaScript Anywhere app (https://www.javascriptanywhere.net/) on my IPhone to experiment with algorithms and write useful snippets of code during my commute.

It works fairly well with the two obvious limiting factors are screen size and clunky keyboard input. However, the #1 stumbling block is lack of cursor navigation. It desperately needs cursor keys and shortcuts to move to the beginning/end of the line. The #2 greatest frustration is having no good way to select text except fat finger selection.

What's needed most is an extended keyboard (w/ cursor keys, for example) and/or a smarter popup "magnifying glass" mode so you have a bigger target for fat finger selections.
If its any consolation, im sure all sides will adopt it if it turns out to be effective. Similat trend happened from 2008 to 2010.
Random datapoint: when writing an Extended Essay for the International Baccalaureate, one word (not letter) of English is considered equivalent to 1.2 Chinese characters (all hanzi) or 2 Japanese ones (a mix of kanji/hanzi and kana syllabics).

You don't pass a 4 month long safety inspection by California OSHA by making injured workers continue working.

"News organization" writes article about a company in California under reporting and hiding injuries, leading to a 4 month OSHA investigation that completely clears company of the accusation. Do they retract the accusation, write an article on why they made the previous accusations given we now know they were wrong?

No, they write a new article making new accusations about the company.
When you try to do something ambitious, generally you spend the vast majority of the time as a stumbling amateur who is totally confused about the right thing to do.

If you don't accept this is what you are, then the day that reality spits in your face the truth that you are stumbling amateur who has been totally confused about the right thing to do, you will be crushed.

If you accept this is what you are, then the day that reality spits in your face the truth that you are a stumbling amateur who has been totally confused about the right thing to do, you will laugh and make the proper adjustments.
True. They suggest you use a master password, which solves this problem. But if you ignore that it will generate one for you which will only make it a little bit more annoying for anyone trying to steal directly from the offline file.
On the bus, in my case. Sometimes I'll go to a coffee shop.
I co-founded a startup, and lot of my friends work at or run startups. At the end of the day everyone realizes, AWS/GCP/Azure etc. are all infrastructure players. It is given that all big 3 cloud providers will be competing against you in one way or other. And infrastructure becomes a cost center once you start growing. So doesn't matter whether you are competing against them or not. Even Apple uses GCP. At certain scale, the costs questions starts popping up a lot.

>> If Amazon comes in and crushes Uber, will any startup trying to make it big want to use AWS?

Heck yeah! And startups are not the bread and butter of AWS. They are trying to go upstream with enterprise and government contracts that are multi million $$.
>an investigation by Reveal from The Center for Investigative Reporting has found

Never heard of it. Strike 1.
To build upon what others have commented here, it seems like an unfortunate reality of the hiring world is that it has less to do with your raw technical skill and more to do with "fits desired paper qualifications and societal expectations".

Social signaling is a very real thing and stems from the people doing the hiring. They believe in social signaling, whether knowingly or not. They choose to hire someone they "get along with" rather than "inverts binary trees really well".

From a foreigner point of view, it seems completely ridiculous that we are even debating if a couple with 1M per year can afford or not living in NYC.
Reveal News has previously made claims of unreported/underreported/hidden workplace injuries at Tesla [1], determined to be unfounded after an investigation by CAL OSHA (reported by Elon Musk and Laurie Shelby, Tesla's Vice President of Engineering Health and Safety, during the October 24th, 2018 earnings call at timestamp 19:05 [2]).

There are some nice things about the new UI: e.g., it's possible to take actions (such as delete) on a email in the inbox in 1-click. It's also that gmail now has lot of new things. e.g., snooze, integration with tasks which probably meant that they had to update the UI regardless.
It's a bit of circular logic. Big names are where big populations are. By that criteria San Francisco city has more "nowhereness" than San Jose.

New York metro area is much more nowhere than Tokyo metro if you want to go buy sheer population in a continuous urban conglomeration.

And to me, personally, NYC is just as nowhere as Boise, Idaho. Just a bunch of people living in groups doing things they find interesting, or can't leave due to financial/family/personal reasons. You can do lots of stuff in and around Boise that the same people can't do in NYC and visa versa, depending on individual preferences.

Many folks I know get bored quickly in NYC and SF. I do. I still love NYC and SF, though. I suffer from a bit of Stockholm Syndrome ;)
Its a bad app, in wrong hands, its a bullying tool. I do not want my boss to know my party registration and worst of all, them to prod me to vote.
This is OT, but do editors exist any more? Second sentence in and there is a glaring mistake: "...including one who severed the top a finger...". I notice this across the web AND in print publications. I'm an engineer, not a journalist or English major, and I'm constantly picking up typos, grammatical errors (less vs. fewer really grinds my gears), and other mistakes which should never make it to publication. Is it a "first to press" or cost-cutting measure? Or is it that the editor has transitioned from editing the manuscript for mistakes to editing it for the "proper" voice/slant/bias?
Then again, it could have been a cream-filled doughnut. (Which would have been slightly more likely
than an alien craft.)
Actually, many places you need to be registered to a particular party to vote in the primary, which actually might be more important as you are actually selecting the candidate..

Registering as an independent, leaves the selection process up to the registered party members, or those who are motivated enough to get out there. Those folks typically don't necessarily look to out forth a candidate who's moderate, instead you get, Trump, Clinton, Sanders or Cortez.

There's something to be said for registering to a particular party to select a proper candidate.

The stigma associated with being registered to a particular party leads many to register as an independent, which means their voice generally isn't heard until the candidate is chosen. It's unfortunate this data is public, it's even more so that politics has become so much of an identity for people that they can't see past it.
No, MSRs do not necessarily need enriched lithium. For example, Moltex's fast MSR uses no lithium whatsoever. The (barren) coolant salt is zirconium sodium potassium fluoride, and the fuel salt (in tubes, where it does not mix with the coolant) is a mixture of sodium, zirconium, uranium, and plutonium chlorides, as well as fission products.

The zirconium does not have to be "nuclear grade", since the design not only tolerates hafnium (a strong thermal neutron absorber) in the coolant salt, it depends on it to shield the reactor structure from thermal neutron degradation.

Lithium-7 will still lead to production of some tritium. Any MSR using lithium is going to need a tritium separation and capture system.
So this is a legitimate nerd snipe I’m willing to concede. I think it is closer than Thomas is saying here. Between Jack, Beam (and their international owners) & adding MGP & the tiny crafts I’d bet more American whiskey is distilled outside of Kentucky than in.

Here is the bet. Given a methodology chosen by ‘harryh I’m in on $500 to Blackstone Bicycle works against $500 to tptacek’s charity of choice.
A right solution would be a proper key management where each participant maintains his/her password/passphrase that unlocks group credentials.

Otherwise, a bullet proof audit trail with external timestamps would be required.
Well, I for one am quite confident they will show small pubs the same leniency they will no doubt grant to goggle.com. right?

People want instant gratification, they want to compete, they want to crush everyone else with how awesome they are (especially in America). None of which is necessary or desirable for most self improvement. Just consistently getting out there and doing the thing. Being mindful, being present, taking the effort to be introspective and thoughtful, and consistently making a habit of something will lead to become expert at it. Whether it's running, swimming, backpacking, sailing, biking, yoga, drawing, playing the guitar, speaking another language, cooking, or even just being able to process and deal with your own emotions in a healthy and mature fashion.
Nice point about the light skimming of largely irrelevant details; I do that too and also suffer some mild but acceptable confusion later in a work...

It also depends how engaged a book has me. Sometimes books are about the story and those details don’t matter. Other times they are more like paintings and time spent engrossed in smaller details does reveal a deeper level of enjoyment to the reader.
> antisemitism is legal

We’re not really talking about legal systems, though, we’re talking about ethical systems, and antisemitism is undoubtedly unethical.
But if you’re honest, what value does “strengthening the democratic process” have to you if you think the people in power or resulting policies are bad (unfair, unjust, immoral, bad for the economy, etc.)? Democracy even in the most idealistic description isn’t some inherently good thing. It’s only good if the resulting policies and outcomes are good. Perhaps a staunch deontological ethicist will disagree with me here, and please do let me know.

If anything, a higher voter turnout may give a bad regime more confidence, or at least give them a nice talking point about their “mandate.”

Note that I absolutely do not intend to infer that any particular party or ideology or policy or even outcome is “the good” one. I mean that each person has their own views on what’s good and bad, and that high voter turnout in favor or opposing politicians or policies are absolutely not good for that person.
More expensive than LA? Where exactly in LA?

I'd suspect the parts of LA you'd like to live in - Santa Monica, for example - are far more expensive than the livable parts of San Diego.
Can anyone speak to whether MySQL is comparable to Postgres in this area? With how quickly Postgres has been getting improvements I can't seem to tell anymore if they have feature parity or one is way out ahead of the other.

Though varies by different kinds of content, but in reality Chinese is often noticeably denser, mainly because most Chinese "word"s are less than 2 characters, while much longer in English. Here is a good example:

It certainly is not.

It's not just metals you can smelt, you can also smelt silicon from rocks. It ends up in a melt of iron and silicon, but one could potentially separate out the silicon and use it to make solar cells.[0] Which can then be used to power more electrolysis units to make more solar cells.

also, don't forget that the nature of material also influences how light behaves e.g. scattering, reflection, refraction etc. etc. and depending on the scene, computations can be quite expensive...
I believe RaptorQ is a known implementation, and afaik it's used in low bandwidth satellite communication where FEC is just too expensive (measuring it's bandwidth usage). While FEC is indeed configurable through the ratio for the number of normal / FEC packets, it can be still too expensive in some situations.
What if strengthening the democratic process can only be done through the support of a political party? Right now, the Republicans control all branches of the legislative, executive and judiciary, despite Trump having lost the popular vote and Republican leaning demographics being a minority. Such a situation is the combined result of 1) a byzantine 'elector' system in lieu of proper suffrage, 2) Rural, sparsely populated states being given more voice than densely populated states making up the majority of the population, because mumble mumble state rights mumble mumble or something, 3) Copious amounts of gerrymandering resulting in some district borders looking like a Picasso drawing, and 4) Ludicrous voter suppression laws and dispositions hailing all the way back to post-civil war Black disenfranchisement.

So I'm not sure how trying to reverse that unjust imbalance with an app is a threat to a democratic process which is by all accounts quite endangered already. Shaming is much less of a big deal than disenfranchising.
I haven't used it, so can't say either way. Am having a look at it now and it looks pretty nice though.
For what it’s worth there are plenty of jobs in Phoenix. They’re just dispersed throughout the giant mass of suburbs rather than being located “downtown”.
Only because we as a global society have decided we value iPhones and big houses over a clean and sustainable planet. If we thought otherwise, we surely could have gone in a different way. Through effort and ambition we când improve and destroy things. It does matter what you aim at, not just that you shoot.
So, the answer is more censorship on Facebook?
I suppose there are two models: blame successful companies and their employees for high housing prices and try to make them go somewhere else, or derive (huge) economic benefit from their presence by building enough housing to meet demand.

If you find yourself hoping that successful companies and successful people don't move to your area, that's a sign that you are doing something seriously wrong.
According to traceroute, I wonder what makes United States safe and China not. Both not safe.
