A lot has changed. What hasn't changed is that corporations are often motivated by profit over employee well-being, and that strikes can put pressure on them to change.

> Fact is, unions are dying in the western world. Union membership is free-falling.

Again, quite US-centric. In the UK it's been slowly increasing over the last few years. Finland, Sweden and Denmark have something like 70% trade union density.

> If you strike now, especially if you aren't in a union, you should be fired. For each of those people that strikes over this, there's probably 50 people that would ecstatically take their job in the city they are in.

The first line doesn't follow from anything you've said. The second line is the most convincing argument for trade unions in this entire thread.
It's not as far-fetched as you might think. While you aren't likely to see the classic AM demodulator circuit appear in an audio signal path, the nature of AM is that any non-linearity will cause some degree of demodulation to occur, so it can appear in all kinds of places unexpectently (especially if a powerful transmitter is nearby).
Its like cinema for the ears. Once started talking normally and i could not hear the music anymore because the volume was so low yet all the details and bass were still there. When i heard them for the first time there was opera playing, felt like the orchestra was in the same room. It was a small 2-way system.
> Another recollection I just had is that he had a separate electric circuit run to the house(as in a second set of wires coming off the utility pole) so he could properly condition the power feeding his audio gear

In my limited experience, "clean power" (I know nil about this so I'm just repeating what I hear) was the most important difference people would "hear". My uncle used to have a Hi-Fi shop and I helped him sometimes. People hearing distortions in their existing setup used to make up for 90% of his customers. In those cases the number one step was to make sure that the power that comes to the system is clean. Being a certified electrician, he used to do his thing and you would almost always hear the "aaah" from the customers the moment you hit play. To me also the difference was generally night and day.
Yes, the network itself primarily and the way devices connect over it. Perhaps we'd need to start over?
When I'm at work people get shouty if you just bring a laptop in and plug it into the network. "If they find out you'll get in trouble". Why wouldn't they find out? And why aren't devices whitelisted so you simply connect without prior approval?
Maybe this can be developed on a massive scale for CO2 capture.
If people are hesistant to consume this protein, it could even be used to feed fish / animals.

When I got to Germany in 2004, most eggs for sale were category 3: cage-raised

Now, category 3 is illegal, and the cheap eggs are category 2: barn-raised (not way better, but at least they can walk about)

This did not happen because egg producers or the agricultural regulatory agencies felt bad about how they were keeping their chickens, but because enough of the public who cared pushed the government to make category 3 eggs illegal - and the only reason they had that whole categories thing to begin with was enough of the public who cared.

I usually buy category 1 eggs (free-range, for some minimal value of free range) from small local producers here - I don't care what the chickens ate because the chickens don't really care what they eat, but I'll buy category 0 (free-range, organic feed) if category 1 isn't available.
One of the coolest entries I saw was the square root calculator which was shaped like a square box and had white spaces inside the box in a shape of square root symbol.

That one was preaty neat.
This seems less about witchcraft as such and more about defrauding people.

Having said that, is there any other kind of witchcraft than fake witchcraft?
Student loans in the UK aren't real debt, though. It's more of a defined-contribution graduate tax with repayments contingent on earnings.
Dude really wants there.
looks great, see also Julius O. Smith's awesome DSP tutorials: https://ccrma.stanford.edu/~jos/filters/
The website is a bit sparse, I wonder where they get elemental hydrogen and nitrogen from. Does anyone know anything more about their technology, e.g. how they actually construct the proteins (I'm guessing either in cells, or using some enzymes outside of cells - but then what produces the enzymes?).

Edit: Ah, an article posted by another comment includes more information:

> This sounds like science fiction, but it is already approaching commercialisation. For the past year, a group of Finnish researchers has been producing food without either animals or plants. Their only ingredients are hydrogen-oxidising bacteria, electricity from solar panels, a small amount of water, carbon dioxide drawn from the air, nitrogen and trace quantities of minerals such as calcium, sodium, potassium and zinc. The food they have produced is 50% to 60% protein; the rest is carbohydrate and fat. They have started a company (Solar Foods) that seeks to open its first factory in 2021. This week it was selected as an incubation project by the European Space Agency.

> They use electricity from solar panels to electrolyse water, producing hydrogen, which feeds bacteria that turn it back into water. Unlike other forms of microbial protein (such as Quorn), it requires no carbohydrate feedstock – in other words, no plants.

https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2018/oct/31/electr...

Edit2: I wonder how this (water + CO2 + solar power) compares with just growing algae in water in the sun, in terms of energy efficiency and process stability.
someone's too late http://lentein.com/
Ok, but so what?

BREAKING NEWS: Rich guys also hope their families survive the water wars.
As a tech lead, I am consistently surprised how many developers could improve their work throughput just by learning to type better! The people who can't type code slower, don't answer emails or instant messages well, and generally are fighting the system instead of flowing with it.

There's a much more reasonable explanation for the downvotes. You're making a very dubious claim without even trying to back it up.
Heck, the concept of lying itself is a philosophical minefield. No way they solved that. This thing, as stated in the article, just relies on physiological indicators and muscular activity. So it is a polygraph with a shiny layer of buzzwords sprayed on.

All in all, just another worrying piece of news from Hungary.

How does Pandas compare to R's Tidyverse?

Tidyverse was super easy to pick up, and I can do almost anything I want with. Why would I want to switch to Panda?

Has anyone tired the python tydiverse port? How does it compare to the original?

Guantanamo is just one place we are detaining a group of Muslims. We’ve also got tens of millions at the barrel of a gun in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Feynman describes a likely reason:

“We have learned a lot from experience about how to handle some of the ways we fool ourselves. One example: Millikan measured the charge on an electron by an experiment with falling oil drops, and got an answer which we now know not to be quite right. It's a little bit off because he had the incorrect value for the viscosity of air. It's interesting to look at the history of measurements of the charge of an electron, after Millikan. If you plot them as a function of time, you find that one is a little bit bigger than Millikan's, and the next one's a little bit bigger than that, and the next one's a little bit bigger than that, until finally they settle down to a number which is higher.

“Why didn't they discover the new number was higher right away? It's a thing that scientists are ashamed of—this history—because it's apparent that people did things like this: When they got a number that was too high above Millikan's, they thought something must be wrong—and they would look for and find a reason why something might be wrong. When they got a number close to Millikan's value they didn't look so hard. And so they eliminated the numbers that were too far off, and did other things like that....”
Keeping track of and excluding commits authored by others seems a lot of work. I am curious if you use any kind of tooling or process to make it easier.
When Javascript becomes the new pillar of security something has gone terribly wrong.

Background: I love building Single Page Applications, Progressive Web Apps and have JS always enabled. So no hate for JS in general, but when your security depends on the correct evaluation on the client side, you are starting a dangerous cat and mouse game.

I would argue "for any background". Why would you have to think like a computer to be able to program? Don't we have computers to do that?
Ultra high vacuum isn't vacuum. Achieving an actual vacuum is practically impossible in my understanding. Even in deep space you will probably have a few stray hydrogen atoms floating around.
TL;DR the law prohibits fraud in the context of witchcraft and is being repealed along with laws against dueling and blasphemous libel because it is redundant and isn't really used except by prosecutors looking to throw the book.

Any idea why Apple doesn't allow use of NFC? It's been in devices for ages, I'm surprise to hear it's not available to developers. Given Apple reviews all apps anyway, and can restrict what it's used for any way they like, I can't imagine why they wouldn't allow apps to use it.
I'm not a vegan, but my brother has been a strict vegan for a decade and is quite healthy. Plenty of other people do the same with similar results, including some professional athletes, so clearly it's possible. I just don't think most people can be persuaded to do it.
>finding contacts on linkedin, and sending out some emails

Has that ever worked? I'm not on LinkedIn, yet somehow companies still find my work email and I'm always getting emails from people about how there product is the best thing ever and can we set up a call, or there is a webinar, or can they come by. Oh, and did I not see their previous attempts to reach me? Yes, I saw them, but I've never responded to any of them from anyone. I just can't imagine cold-calling/emailing people actually works.

The best thing you can do is to make sure you appear high in the google rankings so that when I have a need and start searching for whom might be able to fill that need, you come up near the top.
That was indeed some shit analogy.

I find that this applies to non software engineers as well.
When people are in love with their own idea sometimes it is difficult for them to listen and to learn if people really want that.
>you added a reference that your thoughts are for B2C. But Facebook and Google are B2B, the Cs are the product

It still holds though, they had the product(the users) first. They did not start as companies that figured out that they need users by first selling ad spaces to companies and talking to them. They had something valuable in hand(usres) and iterated the business models through the years.
Sure, but can't the kilogram then be easily defined in e.g. carbon-moles?
I was told I could use C# as that is the language I use the most. Thing is, I'm going to use Python anyway. If they're going to whiteboard me, I want a language that is easy to write on a whiteboard and, to me, Python would be that language. Besides, I'm over C#. Would love to program Python for a while.
Darpa Seeks FAA Approval for Military Drones Over American Cities
The statement of the Jackson's team can be read as constructive skepticism or it can be read as FUD. In both cases they can use the same polite tone. It's difficult to distinguish them without reading carefully the technical objections to understand if they have some specific criticism or just generic concern.

My guess is that the easiest way to solve the controversy is to build three or four more detectors, and try to build a second team to make an independent analysis of the data. (But this is not cheap.)

(This is similar to the Atlas/CMS teams at CERN. They share the accelerator but they have independent detectors and analysis.)
The point is that 'rich guys' have the ability to make sure they survive 'the water wars' while you do not. And also it's in their interest to stay rich before then. And to stay rich, that means continuing to do what we're doing. Which results in the 'water wars'.

Not sure what/why we're arguing about here.
FOOF!
So what about people with no smartphone? They won't be allowed to stay in the UK? ;)
This is a very good post. I am in special agreement with #2 (on listening).

However, #1 for me is not quite right. Selling before building anything may backfire as your prospects could see you as an airhead selling vaporware. "OK, this tech looks useful, but so is anti-gravity. Show me that it is buildable and that your team can build it quickly."

One way to allay such concerns is to have a quick prototype that (on a logarithmic scale) is halfway to the product you are selling. This can say "yes, we do not have a product for you today (because we did not focus on it yet), but we can build it quickly". Would this be something you are interested in? My 2c.
Oracle to the CIA.

Also I don’t think there is a right way of doing a startup, there’s no guide you can follow or rules. What I’m saying is that addressing real problems and talking with people that have the authority and budget to address them before building something seems like a good way to minimize risk for b2b ventures.
We will most likely need to go through a manual paper route.
I'm actually very suprised by this article because in iOS 11, over a year old now, they did open up NFC to developers: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/corenfc.

The problem could be that they require a different data format then the NFC Data Exchange Format (NDEF) as that is the only format that CoreNFC supports.
Does anyone have experience with both Datomic and Neo4j? Are they comparable?
Maybe they don't want NFC payment alternatives that would rival Apple Pay. And they don't want to restrict it for that use-case because it makes them look weak for artificially blocking out the competition so they just restrict the feature entirely.
It costs money to support and a miniscule amount of users would care.

The majority of Google's customers also don't pay for an account.
I've been using Neo in production on GrapheneDB with py2neo and Flask for about a year. Love it.

The reason I use a graph is for consistency from my product level business logic to my implementation.

Basically, to solve my problem, I started with a set of english statements, which yielded a grammar, that I described as "objects and morphisms," (things and relationships) then implemented it in a graph - put a front end on it and built a product.

Graphs provide coherence to my problem. Could an RDBMS do this? Yes, but not without a complex intermediate query layer. I think of using a graph as analogous to specifying your problem in terms of a functional language instead of imperatively. The reason to do that is because your product is the result of maintaining consistency of an abstraction, like a DSL or a game, instead of just retrieving stored values, documents and their variations.

It's disruptive to a lot of orgs as well, since there is a lot of sunk cost in RDBMS experience, so I think the applications are all net new projects. I don't foresee anyone migrating to one, but I do see a point where majority of new products use one.
A used Prius isn't that expensive. Or keep the diesel and consolidate/limit trips. I would argue if we all drove less people would have a better lifestyle due to less traffic, better health, less wasted time, etc. regardless of climate change.
You’re ignoring what I’m saying.

I also don’t believe that vegans are healthy. Sure, they don’t starve (omnivores, after all). But I want to see their regular glucose levels and their mortality rates. The way I eat (omnivore) is ancient, veganism is brand new.
Do you have a good example of when an RDF is superior? My looking into RDF's was summarized as "way too complex for little gain" but I admittedly was looking at it through my SQL/Neo4j lens.
Even that is too large IMO. At least in my view of things, I'm cool with states working on this. I wanted something like communities. I'll see.
"Innocent until proven guilty."

One could reasonably assume that the protestors are innocent until proven guilty.
Except for the last action, though, the first three had the benefit of saving you money and thus bringing you closer to financial freedom, as well as putting you in a less painful position when we all finally have to reduce our consumption.

For a beginner, I'd get a decent, pre-built guitar amp that "just works" with decent sound and only basic controls (as opposed to a digital amp with millions of mediocre effects). You can always add some DIY effect pedals, or get a whole new amp - but if your son wants to practice and needs to fiddle with the electronics because something is not right again with the DIY amp, this might distract him too much from actually practicing his instrument.

Maybe take him to a store so he can find out which guitar/amp combo he likes most.
A reasonable next step would be pick up a dataset that interests you (in a domain you're comfortable with) and explore it with pandas. Kaggle has a bunch of data sets (https://www.kaggle.com/datasets) in various domains. You can look at the "Kernels" where other users often use pandas to uncover insights and show you their process.

Thanks for the kind words!
I think Jin's novels are somewhat more sophisticated than those of Tolkien. Beyond telling stories of good vs evil, Jin used historical settings to explore deeper subjects, such as the twist of fate in Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils, and the insanity of Chinese Cultural Revolution in the Smiling, Proud Wanderer.
I continue to be amazed that forced arbitration clauses are enforceable. Why is it possible to sign away a right as fundamental as redress in court?
That's how we got the Salem witch trials and why mere accusations aren't usually enough.
In Germany sexual harassment earns you at least an adhortatory letter (the first step to a dismissal), and depending on the severity the options go up to an instant dismissal like in US at will states.

While it's harder to get fired here, it is by no means impossible. The law just provides what's basically a three strike system (one to two adhortatory letters for the same reason, then the third time the employee can be dismissed) to give the employee a chance to change behaviour.
Well, as a religious practice, it's only really as fake as any other religion is... Which I'll leave as an exercise for the reader to debate.

Feel free to have a look again and let me know your thoughts. emil@neo4j.com or @emileifrem.

20 of the 25 biggest banks in the world use Neo4j today, and fraud detection (specifically fraud rings) is a really popular use case. (So much so that if you search for "fraud detection" in an incog chrome window, https://neo4j.com/use-cases/fraud-detection/ is on the first page of google).

Btw, we've scaled out horizontally for reads since 2011 but our initial Paxos based implementation was shaky. Since then we've revised it twice and our third generation Raft based architecture is significantly better. If you add multi clustering support + causal consistency and a bunch of other improvements I think our horizontal scalability story is very different today from a few years ago. Lemme know if you try it out and disagree!
did you use previous generations of macbook (before the butterfly keyboard was introduced) such as 2012? how does it compare?

I find it odd that you say it's fine if you're "forced to" use it, like your standard for a laptop keyboard isn't one that you should be able to use regularly (and you mention bringing your own). was wondering why you have this attitude...
Great comment.
Along similar lines, I can see GraphQL replacing traditional REST APIs for an increasingly large percent of new projects, and reaching a majority.
Presumably because they want to force financial institutions to go through Apple Pay, so they can take their transaction fee cut.
I guess its obvious now but when I demo'ed/try-to-sale my software projects I would spend 15 min showing "the guy" all the features.. INSTEAD of listing and teasing-out the ONE requirement/problem the guy had and THEN spending 15 min showing him how the software will fix he's one big problem.
I think from the moment you become a citizen you may call yourself citizen of X, or American for example. All other forumals are racist bullshit...but hell, we are living in racist times.
If it's mandatory if you want to enter the EU (as a non-citizen), I'd guess they would deny you entry.
This is either a misguided serious attempt or the greatest satire I've ever seen.

Either way a lot of effort went into this and good work to the developer!
Pressure cookers are magic, turning 1.5-2 hr cooking times into 30-40 minutes.

It's really silly – but Apple keep the NFC functionality exclusively for use by Apple Pay. Whilst it is NFC, Apple have never marketed it as such. Presumably they want people to think that it's just Apple Pay 'magic'.
We can argue back and forth about the pros and cons of requiring JS. But one thing we can't argue about is the loss of security for political dissidents and other non-protected groups who access Gmail or other Google services through systems like Tor.

No, this isn't Google's problem, but it illuminates what kind of purpose Google believes its products should serve, and what kind of people it should serve.
