I can't say much other than it's been really nice. To make my workflow smoother, I remapped my right CMD key to hyper (ctrl+alt+cmd) using Karabiner, and then added Hyper+[1-6] shorcuts for switching workspaces. I also use chunkwm to add a wm-like experience to OSX.

This is totally false, as there are other parties which are interested in developing new drugs: academic researchers, insurance companies, and patients. The drug research is paid for by patients and insured as it stands now, but the FDA/pharma cartel monopolized drug development using patents and the hugely expensive approval process. Now, pharmas are interested in profitable drugs which don't as much cure the diseases but rather allow mainenance of chronic conditions for years and years. Actual effective cures are not a priority. Interests of insurers and patients are quute different: they would love quick, cheap, and effective cures. It's all about incentives.
Matrix is certainly worth taking a look at. I always liked how whatsapp and telegram mobile apps were very snappy. That's something that is going to be fixed in riot quite soon, apparently.

Your Markdown is not properly formatted when you get to the job description page, not sure if this is an issue with the Markdown or a problem with AngelList.
There are alternatives to AT&T or Comcast; you could dismiss concerns by saying consumers prefer their service over wireless or satellite Internet.
Pilots are expensive to train, expensive to maintain in terms of salary and cost a lot afterwards with regards to pensions. I am sure airlines are doing everything they can to reduce these costs and as a result competence is suffering. It used to be the case that air force pilots retired to become commercial pilots. Now commercial pilots are trained straight out of high school. (I'm not sure this is entirely true but bear with me as it supports the point I want to make).

Airlines are the final customers of Boeing, Airbus, etc. I am sure they want as much automation on a plane as is possible to reduce the training requirements and so decrease the cost of having pilots on the balance sheet.

The problem I think is that the abstraction that is the modern flight deck is not quite up to the job of dealing with poorly trained pilots or pilots with little experience of unusual situations. That gap was nicely addressed by having military trained people in the cockpits where unusual situations are somewhat more "routine".

So what we are seeing is the mismatch of cost-constrained customers and the failings of technology in a situation where failures are less forgiving. It's the same story with automation that is being played out everywhere. The only difference, if you exclude x-ray machines, is that the impact is higher.
TLDR; Anti-trust laws gets only triggered if consumer welfare might be harmed. The way to measure consumer welfare is by prices. So if price of goods/services remain low then anti-trust lawsuits cannot be brought on. In Internet economy, price of many services provided by BigCos is zero.

Personally I think this is only half of the story because consumer welfare is not just prices but also quality which depends on competition. The suppression of competition was primary clause used for free IE on Windows anti-trust lawsuit.

So I think article is not well researched and is spreading half-truths.
The DynamoDB (storage layer) commercial plans for reads and writes is a deal breaker for me.

ScyllaDB is a much stronger alternative. It is supported but not officially in Datomic Cloud. It will make Redis/Memcached almost redudant for most of the applications in the Datomic Cache layer as it has very good latencies for read and write.
I went to the service in our local village. The read out a list of the dead, just from our village, just from 1918. The last name we were told, died on 11/11/18. I don't know if he was shot on that day, or died from earlier injuries, but I'm having a hard time 'rationalising' that one. Did he know peace was imminent, was he relieved to find out it was all over before he died. Or was it someone who had nearly made it, before having it all snatched away?

Anti-trust regulation isn't about punishment. It's about maintaining fair market access in the best interest of a civil society, and having an economical system with currencies, civil law, courts, etc. work for most people rather than just very few. In fact, if a democracy doesn't push against monopolies, it would just become a farce.

In fact we do, but more as a diagnosis tool to see how much it took us to complete a task and how to prioritize it in the future. We're not expected to account for every minute, that wouldn't be human (and productive) at all.
Agreed 100%. Them blowing this off because they don't feel like it has enough data or teeth I think is a big mistake. There's a distinct possibility that there will be a 3d printer in every classroom/office/home at some point in the future (just like regular printers eventually graduated to be everywhere). Discussing that there might actually be some toxic issues with these printers now can head off a potential future where tons of people including children are getting sick due to something that we didn't test enough or look at with enough skepticism before it gained mass acceptance. It's win/win really... they become safer if they are found to be emiting toxic fumes and people can feel more comfortable having a safer 3d printer around them. I just don't see the downside...

Much like how there are wall paints that have low or no VOCs I imagine we'd want these printers to head in the same direction. Why would anyone say... oh yeah these paints have a variety of VOCs they emit. Sounds alarmist and I don't see enough evidence so we shouldn't explore further and come up with ones that don't potentially harm people.
Honestly if you were put on a random desert on a random world you'd be more often right than not about how many people were on the rest of the world.
12 years after the initial launch we relaunched WikiMatrix in a new design and an updated feature set. WikiMatrix allows you to compare various wiki software based on their feature sets. A wizard helps newcomers to narrow down what they need.

there are still plenty of drivers for such a war besides ideology.

Natural resources, they don't need to be profitable during the war, if the prospect of future peaceful taxation after victory is alluring enough.

Natural resources, the natural resources don't need to reside in the target country, the politicians, war industry etc in the invading country can use their profit to gain a bigger share of the resources and economy at home.

Dick length contest, remember when for one of the missing planes a few years ago how the larger nations refused to share any military RADAR imagery, since it would reveal the state of their art. During peacetime you can develop and test future war technologies, but there is always the paranoia that you don't know how far potential future enemies are. So they need a "playground" and compare genitals, and test systems in practice... but neither power wants to wage war on their own soil, nor risk all-out war with the other power on their soil... so they squash the little powers, especially those that start gaining independence and would otherwise end up paying tax to neither superpower. In this perspective the war is in fact a common goal for the "animous" superpowers...
The book "Aviation Psychology: Practice and Research" by Klaus-Martin Goeters explains exactly this kind of situation, when the flight control system and the pilot are not in sync and don't know each other intentions.

As you mention on "Compile-time constraints" this extensions to Annex K require a supporting compiler.

It is perfectly viable to have a 100% ISO C99/C11 compliant compiler that will happily overwrite the target buffer, read more bytes than actually exist or search the whole memory block for a '\0' terminator, because Annex K does not require the existence of the compiler extensions used by your safeclib.
As all junk food, pizza is pretty cheap, so there is little point in this.

The issue here is there is not clear line for where one should start and stop moderating their own service. eg do they disallow anything illegal? What about stuff that is illegal in some countries but not others? What about stuff that is immoral but not illegal? Then who defines what is immoral and what is unpopular? Or do you then just ban anything that is also unpopular as well?

There is a reason why platforms like Cloudflare, Google and ISPs are against proactively moderating their own services; from a business standpoint it's an expensive and futile task (because it's dead easy for malicious actors to set up new sites and re-abuse the aforementioned services) and from a social perspective it's not Cloudflares job as a CDN to dictate what is and isn't socially acceptable.

Now just because Cloudflare have taken the decision not to police the internet that doesn't mean they cannot be trusted with your privacy. Those two points you're trying to equate are actually unrelated.

> And in a universe where different systems could be billions of years different in age, the UFOs have always seemed closer to a few thousands of years off from current technology at best.

I think this is something that doesn't get enough attention; in a universe like our's, almost all first contact events will consist of relativisticly expanding spheres of von Neumann machines impacting planets populated solely by nonsapient life. (Say three billion years before humans evolved versus a generous million years of human 'civilization' gives a three thousand to one ratio.) We should not expect to see anything remotely near our point in the developmental timeline.

(If "relativisticly expanding spheres of von Neumann machines" sounds unlikely, let me remind you that every star in the sky is a massive pile of valuable raw materials that has unfortunately caught fire and needs to be extinguished as soon as possible.)
Nobody denied those conflicts and the need of Israel to defend itself.

But sometime seems that only Israel has the right to defend itself, even when its not on the defense but actively bombing countries with far inferior armies / allies and they have to just accept being bombed because of events 50 years ago.

Can Iraq or Syria use the recent invasions as excuse to do whatever they want for the next 50 years too?

Pilots SHOULD be trained to deal with situations like this - getting trained in simulators replicating the conditions that caused previous accidents.

But, that's theoretical. I'm hearing pilots get massively underpaid for the responsibility they have, unless they gain an x amount of flight hours and years of experience so they can do big intercontinental flights (= more flight hours, = more income). It's up to the industry to fix this problem, also to fix their own shortage of pilots. Pay pilots a decent wage when they're starting out on their career. Give them the opportunities to gain the flight hours.

After implementing "collaboration" features in an editor, I discovered that functionality can also be used else-where for example with undo/redo. But also in for example a web app that has many servers, eg a site like Facebook. For example 1) you get message A, 2) You Read message A 3) You get message A again, which would usually end up with annoying user interface errors, like "you got one undread messages", even though you've read them all. But if you transform the event, that last message, get market as read, because there was a prior event marking it as read.
The reason for the moral outrage aimed at Cadbury comes from their early history, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cadbury. It's a great example of the Quaker model of doing business where social improvement was part of the mission of the company.

Now that the evil Mondelez (formerly Kraft Foods) owns them, it's open season on the not so nice things that modern business gets up to. However given that palm oil is used in everything it's a little cheap of The Independent to try and manufacture outrage against what was a beloved, British institution.

Just avoid products with palm oil, though that's getting rather hard to do. Don't bother wasting your time with this kind of junk-food journalism.

That's entirely incorrect:

Is it only me, or does anyone else think that the prevailing business practices of the likes of Amazon are an absolute rip-off when it comes to the low royalties? You go through all the work of writing, editing and producing a book and upload it. Amazon does nothing by the way of marketing & promition, so you end up marketing links to your book on social media yourself. If you want a decent price, you get 35% royalties, maybe another 5% for affiliate marketing. That means that Amazon gets more out of the project than you do, despite the fact that you're the one doing almost all the work (handling downloads & payments seems like a pretty commoditized thing these days).

Compare that to selling music on bandcamp: They take 15%, the rest is yours to keep.

It is absolutely beyond me, how self-publishing authors put up with that.

I GUESS the difference between music and e-Books, to some extent, is how the channel influences perceptions of the quality of the product. People have got very used to low quality writing being available for free on the web. So if your ebook is just another piece of text on some website, many people will not be willing to pay for it, whereas being on amazon creates an expectation that the quality would be in line with properly published work (where, at least, there is a four-eyes principle at work, at shouldering financial risks around a book project etc.)

Someone should do something about that and create an ebook marketplace that enforces certain quality standards and pays decent royalties.
So LionAir is definitely at some fault here. But it doesn't in general lessen Boeing's fault at to in my eyes. This could have happened on the first flight where the sensor had issue. I have no idea how common it is to have a sensor fail on a few months old plane but Boeing is damn lucky that the accident didn't happen on the first flight with sensor issue so they can't at least point to LionAir negligence. Imagine this happening on a first rate airlines and what the reaction would have been.

Yes, keep the amount of noise to minimum. I subscribed to daily newsletter of HackerNews and check it only then no more. I deleted my accounts on other social networks that I never really used. Remember, Internet is like TV nowadays, everyone is fighting for your attention because attention is money. One thing to practice the ability to focus is reading books, I've seen it first hand how hard is it to read a book after being immersed in various shallow activities and how it gradually improves when practiced daily.

There are also tricks that you can use to get your mind to focus, for example working in fixed blocks of time (pomodoro technique). Having fake deadlines makes the mind focused to finish the task at hand but it requires a little bit of planning.
