I'm also a big fan of emacs' dumb autocompletion, mainly dabbrev-expand. (Which hippie-expand uses.) I sometimes try other autocompletion methods, including those that use a proper cross-reference. But most of the time I just fall back to dabbrev-expand when I'm in the flow of typing. The main reason is predictability. It will reliably paste words and identifiers that are close above, so reliably that I usually don't slow down to check if it picked the right one.

And it works everywhere. It will also complete this long name I just typed in a markdown document into the filename when creating a new file, and into the class name after that. Yes, there are better methods (like templates) for many use cases if you bother to set them up. But it's amazing how far this single stupid tool already takes you.

TabNine seems to take this one step further. It's really exciting that this concept gets more mindshare. I'm not going to use it (license) but next time I think about upgrading my autocompletion I'll have a better idea into which direction to take it. I'm always toying with the idea of implementing my own.
Had to think about it for a while, but I think you answered the question accidentally. It does not have anything to do with voting.

Lets imagine we had a state which got tired of vulnerable and weak social security number. In every place where it is used we replace it a two factor hardware token that include bio-metric data (a photo), issued by the government or institutions like banks that by law are required to follow strict requirement of identification. I think we can both agree that this initiative would not have the goal to make voting harder, nor prevent voting fraud, but rather fix identity theft caused by the weak password-like system of social security numbers.

My understanding is that NY Waterway's execs previously owned the Weehawken land where their current depot is, but chose to sell to a developer. Their entire predicament seems to be tied to this decision, of their own making, which they profited from.

Meanwhile in 2017, when Union Dry Dock announced they were winding down their business, Hoboken tried to buy the land, but they could not come to an agreement. Ditto for multiple previous attempts by Stevens, private developers, etc over the years. The value of some of these offers exceeded the amount eventually paid by NY Waterway!

And now the only reason Hoboken can't use eminent domain is that NY Waterway convinced NJ Transit to swoop in and buy the land from them. As a state agency NJ Transit is immune to municipal eminent domain. Yet, NJ Transit does not operate ferries, and never has, to my knowledge. And NY Waterway's execs have state lobbyists and make extensive political donations [1]. This smells corrupt.

Finding that many beds, jobs, and teachers with room in their classes is hard to do. Even if every adult was skilled this would be a hard ask. Add the number of Americans who feel they are being ignored by the political class and we get a big ole stinking problem with lots of unsavory solutions.
The majority of American PV generation is from ground mounted solar farms, not rooftop systems. I have looked many times for statistics about worker mortality in solar farm construction, sadly to no avail. I believe that deaths-per-TWh is significantly lower for solar farms. Dangerous falls are much less common during the construction of large farms and panels in farms tend to be more productive than those mounted on rooftops.

In California, for example, distributed rooftop solar installations generated 10.7 TWh in 2017 while solar farms generated 23.1 TWh.

IMO the biggest problem with IRV is that it bypasses the root problem, which is that we assume we are electing a single person at all.

It's entirely possible (even within the confines of the US Constitution!) to virtually never do this. Elect the House of Representatives by statewide party list. Senate is hard because each state has two senators elected non-simultaneously; otherwise statewide STV would work. Since the President is already elected by the Electoral Congress, skip the popular Presidential election and select the Electoral Congress by sortition among all eligible registered voters in a state (similar to jury selection except without being able to arbitrarily send people home) and have them personally interview the candidates before voting their personal consciences.

Boy Scouts don't welcome girls: they get sued and vilified.

If only we could get such swift global action on greenhouse emissions. Both problems are essentially the same yet the difference in action couldn't be wider.
Right, they would have to 'merge'. But there's little incentive for the Girl Scouts to share their "non"-profits with others.
The title is misleading: the problem is not welcoming girls but dropping "Boy" from the name.

Interesting. Two of the interviews in my onsite loop at Google felt test; one of them was incredibly disinterested and unhelpful - by far the worst interviewer I've ever had.

I haven't bothered with Google this time around - combine the risk of jerk interviewers with the glacial pace of their interview process and it's not really something I'm interested in doing. And that's not even considering any personal reservations regarding the Damore firing or the massive payout to Rubin.
We've moved over to Plex from iTunes. The iTunes Media library folder is already sorted into separate Movies and TV Shows directories, so just added those to Plex separately.

We're running the Plex app on an AppleTV (4th gen, not 4K), and it all works really well. The only issue is that it loses connection to the server maybe once every month or two, but I think that's related to my really crappy modem.

edit: Plex server is running on the 2012 Mac mini "Server" edition. Quad-core, baby!

This wouldn't work -- while BSA and GSA are superficially similar, there are deep ideological divides between the two groups. BSA has historically had strong ties to Christian groups and politically conservative ideologies, while GSA has generally avoided religious ties and supported more liberal policies. By way of example, BSA prohibited "open and avowed" homosexuals from serving as leaders until 2015, whereas GSA has had "no membership policies on sexual preference" since 1991.

Besides, these aren't publicly traded companies. They're not for sale; one cannot "buy" the other.

Sure, except the 'trashcan' Pro doesn't have room in it for anything either, it was also designed to daisychain drives etc. via TB. My very elderly 'cheesegrater' Pro of course does have lots of room for 3.5in drives and PCIe cards, but I have wrung about as much as I can out of it, so the new Mini has some appeal. I am skeptical that the new-new Pro of 2019 (assuming it materializes) will be designed with extensibility in mind...

I love Perl5, and would like Perl6 to succeed. I just don't see it happening though. It took this long for the features to settle, but now people will wait for the performance to improve. In the meantime, the userbase has left for Ruby or Python or something else.

I think it's a philosophical difference. iTunes is more database driven (which I really liked at the time for music). Let it control your filesystem, drop in your files and it'll load from metadata. Any changes will only modify iTunes' DB. Use iTunes to decide what to sync to devices.

A lot of people were super annoyed coming from WinAmp. They organized their library by filename and the metadata was often a mess. They also wanted to treat iPods as USB drive and drop files on there.

Plex is even different in that it only looks at the filename and pulls metadata from the Internet.

The move to allow both boys and girls in the (Boy) scouts looks really smart, long-term.

For parents with both boys and girls, the choice is now to join two organizations and deal with two sets of meetings, fundraisers, schedules, and activities, or join the (formerly Boy) scouts only and have half the headaches.
It's amazing how times change. Just a few years ago, the Boy Scouts wouldn't allow gay kids to join (2013) and wouldn't allow gay leaders (2015). Back then, people were applauding the Girl Scouts for their progressive stance on gay rights and transgender youths. Today, the Boy Scouts are leaning into a more gender-neutral membership.

Ultimately, I think the Girl Scouts are worried about their membership. If Scouts BSA accepts all applicants while they only accept girls, Scouts BSA is likely to carve out a bunch of their membership. When men's colleges went co-ed, it didn't really threaten women's colleges because the formerly men's colleges couldn't just grow their membership. They had limited classroom space, limited dorms, etc. However, with less fixed infrastructure, Scouts BSA could absorb a lot of the Girl Scouts membership.

Personally, I think there is room for multiple gender-neutral youth organizations with different ranges of activities. However, it will mean that organizations must provide a positive reason for people to want to join rather than the negative "you aren't allowed in the other club".

Nothing about the Boy Scouts is really gender specific, beyond their requirement to be male that's set to be amended in February.

I don't understand how "Scouts BSA" is a violation of any trademarks that the Girl Scouts might hold. Especially considering the Girl Scouts came after BSA had already been established. If anything I would say that Girl Scouts are encroaching on the BSA's brand identity by calling themselves "X Scouts". When someone talks about being in the Scouts, I tend to take it as the Boy Scouts already.

And there aren't to my knowledge a lot of boys upset that they can't become Gold Star Girl Scouts... There are on the other hand a lot of females that are upset about not being able to become Eagles. [0]

You need to have the reaction mass to make use of. Most neutrino detectors use special chemicals in custom tanks, IceCube uses antarctic ice. You would need not just mass but ice or water for a neutrino detector, ideally highly compressed optically clear ice. The only possible candidate in the Solar System that fits that bill at present is Europa. Though it's possible that similar conditions might also exist on Mars (we know there are sub-surface glaciers, but we don't know how deep they go or how pure the ice is. And potentially some of the large sub-surface oceans (on Ganymede, Enceladus, etc.) might work too but we know even less about their properties.

As someone who's been on the short end of eminent domain for a freeway offramp in north LA, nope. The city tends to hire their own appraisers with their own way of looking at things. Considering that most eminent domain cases run through single family housing without existing homebuilder contracts with the city (at this point, we're talking homes before 1980), there are a litany of ways in which a city appraiser can devalue the house. Yes, of course you can hire an appraiser go to bat for you.

The short and sweet of it is that the city can use things like "you never applied for a permit to build this addition" or "your re-roofing was never replaced with high wind resistant (no joke) tar." At this point, we're talking multiple visits from an appraiser (assuming you can find one willing to deal with city bureaucracy), and lawyer fees to handle the entire case.

That doesn't even begin to address the emotional quagmire of the fact that they knocked on _your_ door. You'll probably need to need to talk to a counselor for that one.

But as a caveat, there's nothing wrong with busting ass when you need to. There was a project I got contracted for on doing a surveillance trailer from scratch. I barely slept for 2 weeks getting parts, learning/welding, wiring and configuring a mobile surveillance system for stadiums. Got paid for the prototype and vacationed for a month, because I could. That last part is the important part. Nothing wrong with hustling or running your self into the ground, sometimes. Just not ALL the time.
We know that apps are constantly listening for audio beacons ( ultrasonic cross-device tracking) which are used to link different devices to the same person (your phone and your laptop for example) so that they can associate data collected on either device to you and that they use them to log when/where you watch certain content (such as TV ads). Mics are active and listening. I think it would take a large security breech to see what companies are actually doing with what they collect vs what they'll publicly admit they are doing.
