They aren't as bad but they're still tools of control.

At least in Germany they don't. You have to take your medical records in paper form from your old to your new doctor.

I think it's non-ideal, but the health insurance should never need to know whether you're using your CPAP. They should only know if the doctor prescribed it.

Information should be shared with the pharmacy and other doctors. That would be helpful and would save lives.

I've been debating my next "laptop" purchase actually be a Mac mini. Ie, every day I'd throw it in my backpack, head to work (when I go into office), and plug it in there.

Why? Well, I already do that. I have a MacBook Pro 2017, and I treat it like a MacMini. I don't use it like a laptop. Partially because I have monitor/keyboard setups that I prefer at both work and home, but also because I simply don't trust the laptop to withstand any real usage. The keyboard, mainly. I have two friends with the same laptop, under sane conditions and both have experienced problems (with the keyboard).

So what do I do when I actually need a laptop? I travel with my trusty 2014 (or whatever year it is) MacBook Pro. I love it to death. And when it dies I guess I'll upgrade it. But I've realized I prefer a lesser, small and portable machine for my travel laptop. My "main" work machine is too expensive to feel safe traveling with. My travel laptop is in a separate category.

So when the need occurs, I'm debating hauling a Mac mini between work and home as my daily driver. For travel, it will be a smaller, much more cheap laptop that if I lose/damage I won't be out $3.5k. It just seems to fit my needs better.

On that note, anyone think a Mac mini will survive daily hauls like that? I am concerned that it will be too much movement for a non-laptop. Thoughts?
Exactly my point! That's an excellent technique in fact, tell a team upfront this will not be allowed to evolve into production and, freed from unease about future plans, they'll explore and experiment much more openly.

Can you be more specific? Creating a mockup/wireframe/protype with online tools like Invision or Balsamiq is a good start, and then putting it in front of people to gather feedback. You can also go straight for the MVP - build the smallest, cheapest usable version of your product and see if that fills a need and gathers good feedback. If so, you have encouragement to go further.

No one should have ever bought the $499 Mac Mini before with 4Gb of RAM. The cheapest Mac Mini that anyone should have bought was at least $699 with 8GB of RAM and you still had a slow hard drive.

If you remove the hyperbole here, i think a bunch of the author's points are probably right:

IE

"Need a Mac because you're wanting to explore iOS development? Get the Mac mini and continue to use the keyboard/mouse/display that you've already got on your desk. It's no longer the affordable way into the macOS environment that it once was, but it's the best thing Apple really has to offer."

"Apple's refusal to build, y'know, a regular desktop computer means that the mini often ends up being the best option if you really are committed to using macOS."

etc

I've own/owned 5 or 6 mac mini's at this point (including the 2018)

At this point, i buy them to shove them in a closet somewhere.
Size is not a factor in that.

It's big enough at this point (compared to NUC's, etc) that it has no meaningful size advantage.

As a server, you'd want some different tradeoffs.
As a desktop, the only reason you'd use it is, as the author says - you don't have a lot of options in what you can use for MacOS and this checks some boxes the other option doesn't.

It'll probably be the last computer i buy from apple to set up for others - MacOS isn't as bulletproof as it used to be.

For the second time, I had to debug obscure apple bugs for my parents over thanksgiving - which is why i set them up with a mac mini in the first place - to stop having to deal with this on windows or linux.

The Dutch and Danish approach to cycling is just from a different world. Even cities that I consider decent for cycling, like Berlin, pale in comparison to any larger Dutch or Danish city. And once you introduce cycling into commuting systems at that scale, yes, it enables you to design those systems in new ways.
To be fair, most people don't consider tourism the same as just arriving in a city for any reason.

>First, you do have rights under existing regulation and in a court of law.

Sure you can take a credit reporting agency to court, if you can afford a lawyer.

You can take creditors to court, if you can afford a lawyer.

You can file bankruptcy, on some debts, if you can afford a lawyer. But that bankruptcy follows you, it will flat out prevent you from employment in certain industries, it will prevent you 99% of the time from any job that requires a security clearance for the rest of your life, it will severely hinder your ability to have credit in the future.

Sure, you can dispute incorrect things on your credit report... if you know how. Then of course, all a creditor has to do is, within a few months, say 'yes that information is correct' and the dispute rules in their favor.

Sure, if someone steals your identity and takes out some lines of credit you can attempt to undo that damage but it could take years (if ever) to fix your credit report while employers and would-be-creditors see you as someone that defaulted on debt, even though you had nothing to do with it, and treat you as someone irresponsible and unreliable.

All of this while the credit agencies are SELLING this report to anyone that wants it, effectively telling the buyers how allegedly trustworthy and responsible you are.

Brainstation is a web dev/data science bootcamp. This article is not written to speak to you, it's written to market Brainstation as the reader's ticket to a big $ career in Toronto.

Hundreds of people move to the city daily as job opportunities are not as plentiful outside the Greater Toronto Area. These could be international students, fresh college grads, people looking for a career change, etc. They've heard of blockchain and AI just enough to worry that they'll be left behind if they don't join "the tech industry".

So of course Brainstation will mention AI and Blockchain. These articles are lead generations pieces for their training programs. For SEO keyword purposes alone, they would have mentioned it.
For many industries automation is possible and affordable, but it's held back by the fact that you still can find places where manual labor is cheaper than dirt. As the quality of life rises worldwide and decent workers have better options than working for a handful of rice, we'll get mass automation.

Not because of automation getting cheaper (though that's happening as well) but because of labor costs rising closer to living wages.

Historical context of a country matters a lot when judging the extent of a surveillance problem. Chinese are terrified of chaos and disorder, which has in the past has led to civil wars. For them the first priority is keeping the status quo.

Just take a look at the death toll of these wars: https://www.businessinsider.com/bloodiest-conflicts-in-chine...

25 Million casualties, and that's in the 17th century. Compare that to the absolute carnage of Syria, which has had less than half a million casualties.
There isn't. I'll be working remotely as time progresses with my current company. And Calgary is looking very attractive to a first time homebuyer. Although income tax is a little higher, the lack of a provincial tax and cost of gas is major savings.
> Improvements over JSX

With the exception of html comments, these are invariably antifeatures. Optional quotes/closing tags save zero to negligible typing time in exchange for added complexity for tooling and reduced readibility in many circumstances.

I can understand why these features were added to HTML5 (backward compatibility is of more benefit than prescriptivism) but I would never have thought anyone would argue that having these features in HTML1 was a good idea in retrospect!?

Adding them to a new syntax that isn't burdened with backward compat requirements seems daft.

> But, the stations he chose are suburban, not downtown.

Why? They could have been constructed downtown (assuming you mean in Vienna or Fairfax, rather than in the middle of the motorway not-especially-near either of them). Or they could have been surrounded by the shopping malls that instead are nearish (but too far to walk).

The town (Vienna) is almost 2km to the north, and doesn't have a station — yet it used to! There's a path/trail labelled "Washington and Old Dominion Trail", which is obviously an old railway line, ripped up and replaced with a bike path.

Since the article mentions Stockholm, I've chosen the metro station furthest from the centre of Stockholm [1], and the station before it.

It's a suburban area, but the stations are still in the middle of the 'suburban centres'. They're within 150m of multiple schools/colleges, a shopping mall, a culture centre and a theatre.

Stockholm also has commuter railway lines ("Pendeltåg") extending further from the city, not shown by Google's map. These stop at some fairly small places, but it will still be somewhere in the middle of each place.

That was a beautiful and sad article. Bittersweet but the sweetness was more subtle and powerful than the bitterness. Love, I guess, is the light side of the force, and the dark side is all that is in opposition to that.

My first wife was frustrated with my progressing back problems, and when I had a breakdown after being fired she became more and more angry. One day, after I got back from therapy and told her what was discussed, she said "you're not supposed to be fixing yourself, you're supposed to be fixing our marriage!!". Other things happened, and we divorced soon after.

My partner and I are caregivers for each other. She walks the dogs when I am unable because of back issues, I do grocery shopping when she hasn't had any sleep due to being up all night because of her IBS. We sign "I Love You" to each other when we're on the phone or conference calls. We listen to podcasts together and she rewinds parts because she was intensely focused on a game, and I smile at her because I know that this is how her mind works, and it's wonderful. She understands just what being introverted is, we both avoid the grocery store and its crowds, rather than either of us being frustrated with the other for wanting to stay at home in bed.

Neither of us is perfect, and I know we both cause each other worry and stress. Just like in the article, sitting on the curb waiting for the other to make it through a snowstorm, both literally and figuratively.

I hope you all find people in your lives who accept you for who you really are, and who will be your mutual caregiver, mentally, emotionally, and physically.
There is. It would take over two hours of transit time for me. 10 minutes driving to a go station, 1 hour and a half on train, 20 minutes on TTC. Then walking time to office.
I think the form factor is great. The argument that there is no room for a dedicated GPU is imo simply false. If a mobile VEGA fits in a MBP it will fit in a Mac Mini chassi. Apple decided against it, for whatever reason and that is the only problem I have with this machine.
I thought your name was familiar. You were the same person who implied that anyone who doesn't visit China isn't allowed to have an opinion, and blew off human rights abuses [0].

Why you insist on defending China with such rigor, I'm not sure.

No, the Chinese people do not have quite a lot of personal freedom. You have no right to freedom of speech in the sense anyone in a Western country does. You do not have the freedom to a transparent judicial process. You do not have the freedom not to be monitored by the government for being the wrong ethnic group.

I find that you in particular refuse to reply to the content of arguments, even when prodded.

They say that the system helps to punish for violating traffic laws or evading taxes. But why police and courts cannot deal with this? Maybe because the real purpose is something else?

Also, in some countries there are similar systems, where your rights might be restricted without court's judgement or right for appeal. For example, in Russia, if you are suspected to be an extremist, you won't be able to withdraw money from your bank account. In other countries there are no-fly lists or potential terrorists lists which restrict people's rights without being able to defend themselves.
They live a good life. The Chinese friends I have are not bothered by this and support their government, however crazy that may seem to us in the West.
