I didn't say it only helped Mormons.

From what I gather, the Mormon church has a very complex and well developed infrastructure for deciding who gets help, what kind of help they get, etc. This seems unlikely to be readily and easily replicable without the Mormon church. It has nothing to do with whether or not one believes in god. It has to do with social infrastructure.

All this vendor-provided code is why lesser-used hardware features like bluetooth low energy don't work on many tablets, even new ones. Good luck trying to get web-bluetooth running on Chrome, despite it supposedly being supported for Android 6.0 and later [1]. Samsung seems to have good support, but Lenovo and Vivo don't support it, despite saying they support Bluetooth 4 on recent devices.

Depending on the location, if porn is available, homeless people will come in and masturbate. (I'm not sure whether that problem is endemic or occasional... and they'll come in to masturbate anyway, but porn is arguably a superstimulus and may affect the frequency of incidents.)
Human also occur in the earliest likely epoch of the universe:

* We have, astronomically speaking, just entered the epoch where the universe can support life. We have the required abundance of elements and conditions that give rise to life (stellar nucleosynthesis).

* Intelligence is an incredibly strange thing to evolve. Evolution is a gradient (the evolutionary whitening of the polar bear is probably the best example of this). There is no gradient to move down towards intelligence. You have it or you don't; you are reactive, instinctual, or intellectual.

* Intelligent life has also been demonstrated to be unbelievably improbable. With nature as the best laboratory, out of all the species that have ever evolved, only one on Earth evolved intelligence.

In layman terms, we are likely the "ancients," or rather we might be, as we could simply go extinct.

> for one thing, they won't be very lefty as long as being a christian is a virtual requirement

The idea that there aren't any very lefty Christians is...well, not entirely surprising given the logb-standing “left v religion” media narrative the US right spent so many decades fostering, but also not at all consistent with reality.

Consider, e.g., Liberation Theology.
1. Well, humans produced a lot of music long before anything like a copyright system existed, so maybe that's actually not the example you want to look for.

2. If people charge money for covers[1], the public does tend to exhibit some degree of outrage. I've heard a hypothetical future in which being caught whistling a pop song in public results in an instant fine being held up as a possible dystopia. Even when we are just talking about stringent enforcement of copyright on exact-ish reproductions of music or film, opposition to this propelled politicians into parliaments in the EU and several component countries (the Pirate Parties); I do wonder if Free Software fundamentalism actually ever involved the number of people that must have signed on for that to have been possible.

Interestingly enough, bean sprouts are eaten raw, are not (thoroughly) cleaned before eating, and must be, by definition, held at an unsafe temperature to sprout.

They also cause a bunch of foodborne illness. I think it's a pretty clear connection.

> * Intelligent life has also been demonstrated to be unbelievably improbable. With nature as the best laboratory, out of all the species that have ever evolved, only one on Earth evolved intelligence.

I wonder whether this is actually true. Imagine the human society being transported to dolphin or shark bodies (they'd spawn there). Assume the following: food is not an issue in the short term and we retain our knowledge and we have quite a good control over our new bodies and can do what sharks or dolphins normally do.

Even with these advantages, could we recreate what we made on land?
And more economically useless work is done than ever before by an enormous margin (advertising, CGI, video games, cosmetics, PR, social media addiction, etc.). Just briefly think about how many people produce nothing of real value (i.e. value that would actually reduce housing, food, and medical costs) and how many are simply trying to redistribute the demand of the general population so they can get theirs. Basically, there are fewer economic "sources" than ever and more "sinks" than ever.

I can appreciate that but, to be honest, that's why I'm asking someone who says he or she is currently homeless. I want to know if that position is theoretically true (that is, people who are housed think it is true) or if it really does have bearing on the day-to-day life of someone who is homeless.

Put another way, I want to know what someone who's actually going through this would say because the question is sarcastically asked so often but I rarely read replies from people who are actually in this situation.

"Use your privilege to earn money" is feudalism.

Capitalism (idealized) is when you use get an advantage by selling superior goods or services, while competing with others, without leveraging any state-given privilege.

We need (even) more capitalism in the US, if anything.
Re: bootcamps, there are several non-credit summer programs offered by major architecture programs (Harvard, Berkeley,..) that help prospective students expose themselves to architecture school and more importantly, help them develop a portfolio to apply to the full program.

Yeah! If you just encode your plain text as JSON, and then add something like the resource you are operating on, and the action you want to take, that’s much easier than the complicated HTTP.
> Put a ceiling on rents

Sorry, but this is the worst possible solution. Source: basic economics.

Rent control is one of the most dangerous "solutions" to high housing costs people ever toss out. It would destroy the housing market and make it vastly more expensive than it is now.
If people are wondering why vegetables can be infected with something like E. Coli, the reason is that animal waste is often used as fertilizer, or animals live near the crop's water supply and then gets sprayed all over the vegetable crops.
> endless money pits without noticeable results

Homelessness budgets are money pits because our first line of defense is so often the ER where the patients can cost tens of thousands of dollars per day. The patients with serious mental health or substance abuse problems also have nowhere to go after the ER...so they get stuck there for many extra days/weeks because no one will take them. Do the math and each hospital visit can easily extend past $1 million and typically are at least in the hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Thanks for posting this. Might've missed it otherwise... So much going on.

It doesn't 'boggle' my mind. It would be helpful, I suppose, if you could explain how the last sentence shows they are 'so clearly willing to put ideology over science' - nothing could be less clear to me, although I'm far from expert. Otherwise it will seem like that's precisely what you're doing yourself, which I suspect is why you've been heavily downvoted.
I wonder what their accuracy rate is? I imagine there's a bias towards them looking good because people accept their suggestions ("nobody got fired for buying IBM") and it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy.
"I don't know the solution for this"

The solution is simple - its called the "rule of LAW". These corps and gov people should be prosecuted to full extent; giving/taking bribes should be illegal just as being caught with a plane full of heroin.

The problem that we have is that law system is not really working when it comes to "big guns". They have politicians and lawyers/judges in their pockets/protecting them.

They do not seem to actually cite a paper for their claims, but I do wonder whether they use an active baseline for control group (i.e. music that is not theirs) rather than a passive baseline (no music). For myself, I wonder if Bach would do just as well for focus.

There aren't good solutions, only ugly ones that we've gotten rid of in the name of free will and self-reliance.

To start, Reagan gutted the mental health system so that people who need life-long mental health support were more or less dumped on the streets. It also meant people who could get jobs and have a normal life with some support began to end up on the streets when things broke wrong for them.

So bringing back mental health services would take a lot of stress off of police and hospitals and ultimately cost taxpayers much less and help many people. The negative is that there are no clear boundaries around who should be involuntarily admitted to a mental health facility. But having zero services clearly isn't a great solution.

Secondly, drug users are either criminalized (very expensive) or minimally-aided to avoid immediate problems (with things like clean needles and safe spaces). Detox can be expensive and require considerable long-term support on top of personal will. There really isn't a good solution to tackle this, but there are some obvious solutions. Like a voluntary detox program where at the end you are enrolled in the military for 2-4 years. That starts to get some "indentured servitude" vibes but it is hard to find a decent way to deal with such a difficult issue.
Or a really good one.
Haha luckily most of those feeds are pretty inactive, maybe a post a month or so, which is exactly why RSS feeds are so essential, I can keep the pulse on a massive source of good content.

I don't think I'd use a "subscribe on feedly" button, typically I just copy and paste the URL into feedly and it automatically scrapes the RSS feed, if it exists. Sometimes I manually copy the RSS link directly from the website, when exposed.
That’s silly you can be a leftist and follow a religion especially one that isn’t very organized. Perhaps you can’t be a completely orthodox Marxist Leninist but you can certainly be a communist , perhaps even an explicitly Christian communist. The us congress doesn’t have any communist in it but the criteria of being a communist is the end of most/all private capital, the whole religion being the opiate of the masses is one line by Marx and may be one of the defining features of 20th century communist regimes, but is hardly the defining feature of who is and isn’t a leftist.
It was either the original Moto G or the 2nd gen one that got a kernel version bump - from 3.4 to 3.10, I think. I remember being impressed at the time.

Newer Sony devices got a major version bump from 4.4 to 4.9 with their Pie releases:

https://developer.sony.com/develop/open-devices/latest-updat...

I wonder if the major version update for Sony's 9.0/Pie was due to a Qualcomm BSP change, or if it was solely their initiative? I think the reason for typically not doing major kernel updates may be down to sticking with reference stuff from BSPs. (I don't think they're offering any big updates, not kernel or Android major versions, for their Mediatek stuff. I think that might be typical though.)

Kind of cool, anyway, to move from one LTS kernel release to the next. I wonder have any other OEMs made the same move?
> There is no gradient to move down towards intelligence. You have it or you don't; you are reactive, instinctual, or intellectual

Disagree with this. You can compare the intelligence of various animals (humans, chimpanzees, dolphins, crows etc.) and see that there is a gradual scale rather than a binary (ternary?) switch.

I'm sure you understand why this is not going to work the same way as reading the actual public key. Not only it needs a network, but it also is susceptible to stealing the values from the database by just generating the (short) unique keys.
HTM (Hyperscript Tagged Markup)
So it is some research institutes weekend project. The process of making something an ISO standard is not as rigorous as IETF or IEEE. ISO has over 250 technical committees, cranking out useless standards all the time. Most members vote to approve whatever comes down the pipe if it doesn't impact them directly.

Looking closer at the spec you linked, it is tacked on to a standard for visual checksumming of printed documents. It isn't even moving forward on its own merits as a reasonable 2D barcode implementation.
You know, not everything in life requires a code analogy. This one is particularly egregious because outside of Hollywood I've never heard of code intentionally deceiving its author.

I've been using them on and off for a while and I have found the focus mode quite good. If anything sometimes it's too good, I almost feel wired like when I've drank too much coffee, but it has helped me when I need to get stuck into something that I'm procrastinating on.

When I was travelling last year I used the nap / sleep mode a bit and I found it did help if I was finding it hard to sleep.

Of course this is totally subjective so your mileage may vary.
I had the pleasure of being employee #38. I wrote the visual diff sheet compare feature, among others. I left about two years ago when the company had grown to 200 people.

Tracy, Ralph, and Ryan are authentic people. They really cared for everyone who worked there. (I can remember Ryan pestering me to take more vacation time).

Their success is well-deserved. I’ve spoken personally to customers who didn’t even have a computer or smart phone - the first piece of modern technology they used was an iPad for PlanGrid.

This acquisition is a testament to the moat PlanGrid built in the field. Competitors tried their hardest to sell to the CxOs/head office, only to find out no one in the field wanted to use it. (There are parallels to iPhone in the enterprise space.)

Know your customers and build something they want to buy. Always good advice :)

Anyway congrats to the whole team!

Saying corporations should be broken up is not the same as saying there should be no corporations. The former is just old-fashioned antitrust and yeah, definitely has some sway on the left.

A split-up Google just makes bunch of corporations; abolishing tech corporations entirely and taking them over as a public utility or worker's cooperative is what I'm getting at. "This particular corporation is too big" is a mainstream-but-lefty opinion; "this corporation should be expropriated and owned by the public" is not a mainstream opinion.

Steve Bannon is on record as wanting to dismantle the "administrative state", he held the ear of the President for a while. The head of the CFPB doesn't think the CFPB should exist. Paul Ryan wants to privatise Social Security. "Shrink government enough to drown it in a bathtub" is a Grover Norquist quote. They may not want to roll back the entire government to Independence Day but they do want to take it back to the 19th century if it means they can cut taxes. They don't just want less regulation; they want the feds to get out of the business of regulating industry at all.
I bet I can guess the same of you. So what? Imputing some set of values to someone doesn't make them wrong, and a failure to represent oneself as some sort of enlightened centrist, above the influence of bias, isn't in any way a mark against content.
Well, I tried both Accurate Altimeter and Sensors Multitool, and I must say I'm disappointed. The values varied by 20 meters! In reality, my property varies by 2 to 3 meters at most.

> People pay much more than their fair share of road maintenance via gas taxes etc than the industries that cause the most damage to the roads.

Maybe. Reduced transportation costs to businesses permit lower cost goods to end consumers. Your car transporting you to work isn't your only reliance on the road grid.
It seems to me that the price is dropping due to large players selling off their coins, not because of some hash-war. AFAIK, mining Bitcoins is barely profitable anymore and wouldn't cause such wild jumps (even if this is true).
The most staggering thing continues to be that there is not sustained public outrage to a great enough degree to enforce reform. Like, boiling rage that disrupts you from managing the basic details of living your regular life in a continuous, never-ending, daily manner from the moment of becoming aware of the degree of corruption until forever into the future, to such a degree that even after carefully introspecting about the pros and cons of being that unhealthily outraged, missing out on life’s joys, risking that the outrage never successfully overcomes the corrupt actors perpetrating these moral offenses, even after really thinking about all that and reflecting on the trade-offs of pursuing passions, love, family, whatever, you _still_ are left with absolutely undissipatable astronomical outrage governing your every waking decision and you pedantically boycott every company, protest everything, risk sounding like a crazy kook to normalized masses who somehow can just shrug off the outrage to live a life (which is precisely 100% of the reason why the corruption lives and grows), and your balanced opinion really, really is just that there is no possible reaction but continuous realtime outrage.
Good point.

I would say that the defining feature of human intelligence is immediate and self-directed teaching. House training a dog takes many weeks and many rewards. Stopping smoking is a decision that a human makes and can immediately put into practice.

Using sharks and dolphins as an example, both would learn to avoid fishing nets and communicate that danger (which is not unique to humans), remember it (which is) to each other and their offspring (again, unique to humans). What's not done is seemingly more important than what is, because beating opposable thumbs is pretty hard (as you've pointed out).
