Agreed. But if you go to a tarot reading for purposes of entertainment (without deceptive promises from the practitioner), or to get general life advice and a supportive ear, absolutely nothing wrong with that.
In general, only a minority of power users truly understand files and folders. Most other people organize information differently.

A true "universal" application needs to flex its interface for people who understand files and folders, and those who don't. (Most applications don't need to be this flexible, though.)
> Experts place false sexual misconduct allegations at 2-10% (https://qz.com/980766/the-truth-about-false-rape-accusations...), and estimate that that number would be even lower if you include all the women who were harassed and never report to start with.

Those numbers are specifically for rape, not sexual misconduct. I would hope that the false accusation rate for violent felonies is pretty low. Assuming this is still the case with lesser charges or non-criminal behavior is disingenuous.
Absolutely, as this runs counter to one of core tenants of Christianity - saved by grace alone.
If they got this number wrong by 60% for all these years and just noticed, why should I trust anything else about all of their different, conflicting climate models?
Are you saying that your class came up with an antenna design that's about 100x cheaper than anything else out there today for leo satellites, and you didn't patent, nor start a company with it? Something is fishy about your story.

Changes in an electric field propagate outward at the speed of light, otherwise you could instantaneously transmit data over a distance by changing the strength of the field. I'd say that counts as emanating.
I do, but only in smaller side projects and I'd love to hear from someone who has experience with both in larger settings. Although they work very differently, the query language (Cypher vs. Datalog) have a very similar feel to them. When I tried them it seemed that Datomic would be the more flexible of the 2 (eg. for use cases where you'd want a bit of relational and a bit of graph support), and that Neo4j you'd end up with PostgreSQL next to Neo4j in many practical applications. I have to say though that the query/visualization UI that Neo4j provides is nice and helps with making sure your data is indeed stored in the way you want.
They're removing this law because the fraud involved is already covered by general fraud laws, not to condone fraud. There's no reason this specific type of fraud ought to have an extra criminal charge on top of the regular fraud charge.

Great that you have such high moral standards. Here's the thing: You're victim blaming. This is a bad look. This sort of "there are bad people on both sides" choice is ignoring that you're only condemning her behavior because she responded to his horrible behavior. She did report this behavior to google. She also said she didn't have sex with the guy, and only gave him a neck massage after constant badgering.

TL;dr- You're being part of the problem here bro, and you need to knock that off if you want to maintain this air of moral superiority.

It wasn't so much that, sure, a consumer electronics shop wouldn't have professional equipment, it was the disconnect between reality and what was being presented as the best.

I've been a bit of an audio enthusiast for about 30 years and back then the expensive stuff was definitely better (mostly). Now its the opposite, the more expensive the stuff is, the worse it is and the dialog surrounding it has become cargo cult mumbo jumbo. I find it disturbing.

In general for laptops performance/cost is still vaguely linear, even in consumer shops, with audio its just a lot of noise even from supposedly professional shops.

A joke in passing these days is "how many remakes of [Legend of Condor Heroes|Insert other JY works here] have you watched?"

Both mainland, hk, and taiwan have remade multiple of his works since the 70s. The latest is 笑傲江湖 2018, filmed in mainland.. I think this is the 2nd remake of this title mainland has done - and they've definitely run through most of the popular titles already once.

So, it's wildly popular throughout.
Having not touched windows for almost a decade and getting told I had to use a windows 10 laptop to work on... well

I do, some people can do the same job for decades and somehow never improve their skills or personally develop.

I'm not just interested in pure technical skills from somebody, I want somebody who has the common sense and risk aversion to keep their projects running steadily and effectively without needing to put out fires weekly.

I also appreciate people who have something that I like to call "applied laziness", that being an aversion to repeating the same task over and over or building things that will require constant attention down the line. People with this skill are happy to put as much effort in as necessary in the short term to ensure that they don't have to expend needless effort in the future.
And of course there is the old: "If I had asked people what they wanted, they would have said faster horses." (and there is apparently no evidence that Henry Ford actually uttered those words)

While talking to, and most of all listening to customers is important, it too easily leads to building things that people know they want/need. Something truly "revolutionary" is unlikely with that method. Of course, something truly revolutionary is highly unlikely, period. So if your primary motivation is business success, you probably want to stay away from going for "revolutionary". On the other hand, it's not a given that business success has to be motivator or primary goal.
If it is cost-effective for SpaceX with 0 customers so far, do you think DirecTV, dish, etc, with millions of subscribers for more than a decade wouldn't do it?

No I'm looking at the big picture and given the amount of refugees allowed in it is a major loss economically and culturally in the short term and quite likely in the long term as well.

The US did immigration right before only allowing in people when there was a need for workers and only allow predominantly cultures that would attempt to integrate and get along with the existing population.

The current policy allows unregulated areas (no go zones) to exist where the refugees make the laws; police are afraid to go in and they are not required to integrate into society plus their cultural and religious beliefs create a propensity for hostility against the locals/infidels.

Honestly it's a powder keg waiting to explode and given the rise of terrorist attacks in Europe it's getting there at a short and steady pace. It will take generations before their views will be moderate enough for them to be able to get along with the local population and the higher the amount of people and the longer they are kept in their echo chamber the longer it will take.

In the mean time we will see a rise in draconian Sharia law type laws since they will represent a considerable amount of the voting population just like in the UK. See Lauren Southern held under terrorism act for social experiment [1]

Mind you the UK allowed the change to be gradual and their local Muslim population is quite moderate over all yet this is still happening.

You don't have to. Scientists could be wrong, they can always be wrong.

Yeah, but this spins into another problem - dependencies.

Cars, be it 60 years ago or today, were and are things you buy and own. You may take them to specialists for maintenance, but you're generally responsible and in control of the overall operation of the machine. Computing today is ceding most of it to third-party services. Suddenly, your experience is dependent on multitude of companies (which fold as quickly as they pop up), and you don't own anything.
True, why trust anything. It is not as if there is some systematic way to over time iteratively improve a rational model that is testable and verifiable through a competitive process.

Tuft and Needle started selling with a fake landing page to validate their idea.

Hotjar started a super successful referral campaign before having a working product.

Pietr Levels validated features with a fake credit card form to see if people would pay for some membership.

And there are countless other examples. Building a landing page that explains the product or a proof of concept isn’t building the product, if something can help you give the idea of what you have in mind build it.
Maybe one reason is because google doesn’t know which account is trying to login before the login page, so how could they remember that security setting before attempting to serve JS?
Well, of course it would be expensive to use tables as an arc.

So say A points to B
you have 3 tables right? Table 1 for A, Table(2) for B and a join table (3) showing that A points to B right? Why would you do that? What's stopping you from having one table that contains A and what A points to? So you only have 2 tables?

What if you have a node that can point to many items, a column can contain a list in postgres, so we can still have one Table containing your node data and a list of items they point to.

I'll concede that graph databases are easier to write query for, most people already struggle with basic SQL, let alone CTE and recursive CTE.

I'm yet to be convinced that a problem can't be reshaped and mapped on a traditional RDMS and yet remain performant.

With Node's growing popularity, could you expect any different? Google and Apple compete on the cloud and node is very important there. By getting involved in the process, Microsoft keeps themselves from being at the mercy of Google's choices. Apple doesn't because Cloud is a much smaller part of their business (though native node on iOS and OSX would be very nice to have). Mozilla was also working on that, but I guess it's even less of a priority for them since they appeared to drop everything
Where did you read that? The article specifically stated he wants less complicated satellites, and most of their technology is not in-house. SpaceX isn't making space-grade rf equipment with 300 people.

Speaking as a life-long vegetarian here, I don't think most people are naturally suited to it. I don't eat meat because I don't want to. I know I'd hate to live my life wanting, say, cheese, or spinach, or whatever, and denying it to myself because of some imagined higher good. I feel like people should embrace their nature. Mine doesn't happen to include eating meat. Most peoples' does, and that's OK.
Weird thought, but I think that with this license MongoDB has managed to attack the OSI without attacking the FSF. To me, this is perfectly acceptable Free Software but so strict that it basically reads "do not use this software commercially, it requires you to open every piece of software that any of your employees have ever seen or heard of, including software you do not own. Purchase a license from us." In other words, commercial usage is allowed in the post-revolution Free world that Free Software hopes to bring about, where people have access to the contents of the computers that they interact with, and the freedom to mess with the ones they own.

The Open Source concept, however, is not philosophically based; its primary goal is to allow businesses to collaborate on building blocks, but not to prevent them from taking one of those blocks and carving it into something that they're not willing to share. Since their primary goal is to help business, they can't help but disapprove; since they don't explicitly state this goal, they have no nominal basis to reject it without rejecting Free Software in general.

I predict some eventual announcement that the license is "effectively closed source" and instead of accompanying that announcement with a specific supporting argument, they'll accompany it with a questionable written history of the OSI. They'll disapprove, or approve with asterisk.

edit: and, of course, what kemitchell said.
Sometimes one pretends to build the thing for someone else, when its first and foremost for oneself. That can be a bit irrational but also often unnecessary - there is nothing wrong with making something for oneself.

There is always a hierarchy. Trying to pretend there isn't one is just stupid, because hierarchy as a concept is as fundamental to how our minds work as it could be. If a platform tries to hide the natural hierarchy, users will still build their own out of clues given by the UI, and the result can be unnecessarily confusing.

This is an interesting article[1], the opinion of the author is that no reliable studies have been conducted as to if humans can detect deceit at all. He is skeptical that machines can deduce deceit using micro expressions.

Quote: "Looking for cues to deception merely from ephemeral facial micro-expressions is questionable and likely fruitless. Micro gestures may be indicative of internal emotional turmoil that is being suppressed, but that is it. The distinguished Paul Ekman, who in fact coined the term micro - expression has stated in his book Telling Lies that micro expressions are rare and they "don't occur that often" (Ekman 1985, 131, 165). Plus as others have said, there is no single behavior indicative of deception (Matsumoto et. al., 2011, 1-4). I am concerned that machines that focus solely on the face will no doubt miss other information from the body (sweating, jittery hand, etc.) or generate lots of false positives because negative emotions abound especially where such machines are intended such as airports (stress of travel, stress of being subjected to searches, or inconvenient interviews, etc) or in a police setting."

This is the art of the demo. If you don’t have 1-3 big problems that you’re about to show the customer how you’ll solve, you’re just shouting into the void.

If customers won’t tell me what problems they’re trying to solve, I adopt a very monotonous cadence and tone and repeatedly say, “I can keep going through standard features, but this would be a lot more useful for both of us if you could tell me a bit more about your needs.”

I'm sorry to be that guy, but I really think blockchain offers solutions to these types of coordination problems. For example, Aragon just launched their mainnet today.

I have zero stake in Aragon btw, I just find it fascinating and it gives me some hope that humans can come together to positively affect the world.
