Which is also no one. Whether or not humanity is completely wiped out, this is an extinction-level event, and the entire nation-state system that spawned it becomes meaningless in the aftermath.
If you want zero-config portability, learn vim. It's installed everywhere and is very useful. But if you're set on emacs, here's some stuff that helped me.

The video on golfing is great to learn how to "think Emacs":
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dE2haYu0co8

Avoid using Ctrl; either palm-press or map Capslock to Ctrl.
http://ergoemacs.org/emacs/emacs_pinky.html

Don't lean heavily on movement commands, the easiest way to navigate around Emacs is searching. Instead of pressing C-p five times or even C-u C-p C-p, just search for the word you're going to with C-s.

Official reference card is good:
https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/refcards/pdf/refcard.pdf

Steal heavily from other people's configs. Since you're new and you like org-mode see these two files:
https://github.com/magnars/.emacs.d/blob/master/settings/san...
http://pages.sachachua.com/.emacs.d/Sacha.html#org2b182a5

Hope that helps.
Haha! Absolutely. I just realized that I have so much work I have to do that I don't have time to waste reading stuff that isn't important. With that being said, I'm understanding that I also need be comfortable with the fact that sometimes I just like reading easy things.

The Autobiography of Gucci Mane was actually really good. While all the adjectives you listed fit, I found myself mostly inspired. You can tell that he's being brutally honest with himself, and that he sincerely made an effort to learn from his mistakes. I think any human being can appreciate that. If you're interested, I say go for it.
I wish I could put a limit on how old something could be before it's no longer allowed to show up in my Google Now cards in android.
Hey, at least everyone else is doing it too!
another thing to consider is that approx. half the emissions associated with a building come from heating and cooling during its lifetime. saving 10% in carbon for the construction and then skimping on say, double glazing and passive solar means you lose out over the long term.
Well, at least you would be fit.
It seems like RH is positioning themselves to become the provider of choice for all things financial to consumers. It'll be interesting to see how that evolves.
For a test drive of sorts, go to a county fair and take a couple of rides on the Gravitron. That's up to 3 Gs for several minutes at a time and safe enough to be a childrens' ride.
A look back on 2018 for the Idyll project
Whole Foods' quality has definitely taken a massive hit post Amazon acquisition. The most obvious place I've noticed it is the Bakery, the produce has less diversity as well. I've also noticed more empty shelves in the processed food aisles.

I noticed this as well, and stopped shopping at Whole Foods. Then I went back in this week to pick up a package at one of the Amazon lockers, and it looks like Amazon's getting its act together.

No more empty shelves. No more disorganized aisles. No more confused staff. It seemed like the Whole Foods of old, except that for some reason there was a rack selling yoga pants by the oranges.

It puzzled me and I stood there trying to figure out if the placement was deliberate, or accidental. Then a woman came up and took a pair. So, I guess it works, I just don't understand it.
> But to say that it's not possible for them is clearly a lie.

> Medium, if you ever read this: I don't appreciate being lied to.

> To top it off, they simply ignored the two (very polite) follow-up emails I sent them.

My guess is that Medium has an admin tool for customer-service agents to use, and that tool was likely updated and no longer allows for canonical link updating. As companies mature, the freedom of CS staff tends to diminish, as mistakes are made or privileges are abused.

The email reads "there is no way for you (or us) to set it to something else". I'm guessing "us" refers to the customer-service team, and not Medium as an organization.

In other words, I don't believe the author was lied to.

As for not getting replies, I'm shocked to learn Medium even has an open support email! I'd have to see the author's followups to know if they warranted a reply, but given that the author adamantly believes that deception is at play, it's possible that the emails aren't as polite as the author believes.
Is there a difference? Last time I checked, my debit card offered the same protections my credits cards do.
Its super annoying with YouTube.

Even a full Shutdown/Restart, I open the machine and boom, Chrome opens and the speakers are blasting whatever I had playing on YouTube the day before.

Shutdowns should be respected. What if I had something inappropriate open before doing the shutdown ?

For the past 30 years my European accounts haven't offered any interest worth mentioning - and neither did my American ones.
No, because these things don’t isolate us from each other. You have a number of couples in the photographs that are close physically yet miles and miles apart.
I don't believe I'm violating their ToS, but you never know how they would interpret it. That's why I'm not sharing it publicly. But feel free to email me on mediumtrick at nomad dot email.
Very seriously, if you make a list of why you hate the Nazis, and then ask how many of those things apply to the current Chinese government, and carefully research the matter rather than just consulting what you may happen to think you know about the current Chinese goverment (i.e. not falling prey to "if I haven't heard of it in my newsfeeds, it doesn't exist")... well... actually it's pretty hard to tell them apart.
I'm not sure they're quite making the case for it being bad news. From the article, the current reactors aren't being used to full capacity. And China seems to be focussing on renewables rather than falling back on coal.
...throwing a ball... disregarding air resistance it will be in free fall all the way back to the ground. There is nothing special about the peak.

There's one where the phone was covering a lady's face (USA set). I wonder how they did that. Photoshop must be magic
I don't think Medium is able to plug the hole that easily, but they might tell me to stop doing it or plug the hole just for me. I don't believe I'm violating their ToS, but you never know how they would interpret it.
This is an underrated comment.
Why? It's not as amazing as it was a few years ago, but it's still a good enough deal to fit Matt Yglesias's description of it as "a charity run by Wall Street for the benefit of the American consumer".
This is nothing new. Couples have been physically together yet miles apart way before phones came around, and still are.
The way I resolve this is by voting for my favorite candidate in the primary, and then voting for the not insane one during the general.

If you take every chance you can to get your candidate on the ballot, that lesser of two evils problem diminishes.

I do feel like I am showing people how to create a Linux GUI. After all, they do end up with a GUI.

I already have a few other articles targeting other key words, and I feel the unique contribution of this one (and the latest version of fbs, which this one aims to spread the word about) is a much better solution for ... Linux GUI programming. But I'll keep in mind what you said. I'm still pretty new to SEO.

I believe that since Apple is claiming moral imperative every day in their ads and interviews, and because they have material relationships with China (which governments merely facilitiate) - and that Apple & co are the primary beneficiaries of 'global China' (not for example, Justin Trudeau) ... then they have the first move.

World leaders behind the scenes are very wary of China, they're a) afraid of speaking out and b) have to be diplomatic on some level.

The rubber hits the road (i.e. the 'money') is Apple.

And yes - of course world leaders should be far more aggressive about this.

Sadly, as aggressive as Trump can be, I'll bet he turns a blind eye if he gets a good trade deal.

Though I'm no fan of his, I'll bet he could garner an instant 10% boost in global approval by requiring the closure of those camps as part of any future trade deal. And the thing is - he actually does have enough leverage to get away with it. It would be a major, major international coup of the humanitarian kind ... something so many of his more social/lefty peers could only dream of doing. It'd be nice to seem him try, but I'm not holding my breath.
If every person who voted for Johnson or Stein in 2016, which is what you’re advocating, had voted for Clinton, then she would’ve won the election and net neutrality would still be alive.
I’m not sure the phones were “removed” but rather were never actually there.

Of course its "reasonable" to argue when you are on the receiving end of the organ donations and not the end being put to slaughter for parts.

This is just the extreme end of it though. All states ruled by those who don't believe in the value of human life irrespective of what value that life is to them is at least capable of such atrocity and at worst presently committing it.

I am not sure how anyone can withstand the pretentiousness of this idea.
Anything made mandatory always becomes unpleasant.

Consider sex, sounds fun when spontaneous and free, but slave-staffed prostitution is not so fun from the slave's perspective.

Consider food, how could a nice meal be unpleasant, but force feeding has been used for torture, not so cool anymore.

Consider religion, or politics, or housework, etc...

To some extent if you're allowing people into higher ed who are not higher-quality people, they're not going to appreciate a wide ranging education and a wide education is useless for most vocational training (engineering, programming, etc) anyway. Historically higher vocational training was only pursued by the highest class of people; not so much anymore; probably time to remove legacy nobility from higher ed for the masses.
The gif with facial recognition is actually really really cool. Awesome work
China took and kidnapped their own international official personified in the head of the Interpol. Not much more than a squeak. So, I don't think you're going to hear about "unknowns" much.

The Saudi journalist is an odd exception. Any other journalist (remember the Russian journalist assassinated, or the Maltese journalist). Like there is a squeak but not much else --which tells me there is something about the Saudi case.
"Family planning" was always a lie. It was always about illegal acts rebranded. Illegal birth control. Illegal abortions. etc

Square's Cash App + Cash Card is taking the lead here, IMO. Card, direct deposit, ATM usage, p2p payments, rewards program.

They've been the #1 app in finance all year on the Apple store, and were #1 in all free apps for a little while this past week. They are massively popular in the south, but the rest of the country may catch up, but I sort of wonder if silicon valley is gonna miss the rise since its out of sight for the time being. For growth and reach see for example:

Oh yes let's all remember 2005 when no one ever looked in the mirror and everyone in big city public transport held hands and sung folk songs on their morning commute.
This morning I listened (again) to a really good IndieHackers podcast with Laura Roeder where she answers this question (thanks Courtland!). Her suggestion was to buy traffic from Facebook, IG, etc. at the beginning. Once you're seeded with some regular visitors, continue to work on getting more organic traffic coming in.

But like everything, 90% of success is showing up, so first you actually have to tell people the blog exists and post stuff!
How do they find your are in compliance or not, through what methods? Anonymous complaint? Random audit? What if you decide you are in compliance and what they deem unallowable is critical to your business?

I know what bigcorp's strategy is! Outsource data collection to a 'marketing analytics' firm that specializes in 'GDPR compliance'. Sounds like a new boutique consulting industry.

Similar situations exist for small businesses in the US already, we call them the "IRS" While you might argue that if you don't cheat on your taxes you have nothing to fear, the IRS might decide you took some deductions you shouldn't have, pay up or litigate. If you successfully defend? Oopsies, we might audit you again for the same thing next year (happened to a friend of mine)!
I wish it, or a cut down version, would run on a cheaper FPGA (like the Zynq or Zedboard, ~250$). Running on the EC2 F1 instance is not really an option for students given that it costs about ~10$ per day.
You must be using a definition of "universal" that I'm unfamiliar with, since Dragonfly removes key information on things like human rights.

> The requirements for small companies are less stringent.

Conditioning various minor requirements on entity size is no help if they don't actually reduce the complexity. Otherwise the cost of determining what they have to comply with is as expensive as the cost of determining what they have to do to comply.

What smaller entities need is an entirely separate framework with fewer, simpler, narrower rules that don't have to be as robust against a huge team of lawyers finding loopholes because smaller entities don't have a huge team of lawyers finding loopholes.

Then you can have an entirely different set of robust arbitrarily complex rules that all only apply to companies with more than 1000 employees because they can afford to handle the complexity.
It would be a cool web project to have photographs of scenes where you could dynamically choose what to remove from the scene.

Why would I expect there to be a difference in my level of privacy between the two? This is frankly a ludicrous thing to expect users to understand. I would certainly not expect this.
Why does the west continue to tolerate China as a trading partner?

China is pretty obviously building their empire. They, as a government, appear to have almost no regard whatsoever for human life. They, as a government, appear to have absolutely no regard whatsoever for national sovereignty. They, as a government, appear to have absolutely no regard for the environment.

It just seems completely inevitable to me that China eventually wants to conquer the world. Why is the west enriching them, and by proxy funding their research into war machines when it seems obvious that these things will eventually be used against us?

These acts are atrocities, no doubt. But these atrocities aren't being committed by some dictator in some small, isolated country. These atrocities are being committed by a regime that has all but said that it intends to conquer the rest of the planet and export these atrocities as the standard operating procedure for the entire planet, and which very probably WILL DO THIS if something doesn't occur to change the course.

People are upset about the "trade war" we are currently in, or about to be in, or were in, or whatever the pundit of the hour says. I can't say I agree that restricting trade with China, and encouraging the infrastructure being built there to be built in the US, or at the very least in a country that respects human rights instead, is a bad thing.
I love the fact that one person is correcting me it's hyperbolic, and another is telling me yes I want actual executions. And the downvotes from probably both of you.

There are big corporations doing much more despicable things then registering fake comments over net neutrality. Hyperbole or not, calling for the guillotine over fake comments against net neutrality is over the top compared to say fossil fuel companies and their liability related to global warming, or pharmaceuticals extorting patients for medicines like insulin or the epi-pen. That I could understand wanting the guillotine. Not fake net neutrality comments.

Here's the deal. I am PRO NET NEUTRALITY. I hate that Ajit Pai did away with it. He may have colluded with the Comcasts and AT&Ts of the world to get rid of it, he might have just opened the door for them to do what they did. It's awfully hard to prove if he did help post fake comments. I doubt he cared what was in them to begin with. I suspect most people knew those comments were fake, it was just a smoke screen for doing what the big companies wanted.
Hystrix is in maintenance mode - README says Netflix is moving towards e.g. https://github.com/resilience4j/resilience4j

I think you're missing the point here. It should not be a constant opt-out routine. If anything it should be opt-in only.
Incognito mode should prevent one aspect of that - Chrome won't remember what it had open as soon as the tab is closed (useful for bank account info, etc).
Given the millennial user base, they probably were.
I don't think it's a matter of being too trusting. I know what I'm getting into by using Windows.

I don't sweat it because I know I did everything I could on my end to minimize being spied on without it really affecting me in a negative way. Like you said, I don't have time to match the efforts of full time govt employees.

I spent a grand total of 30 minutes researching and tinkering with privacy related settings since I started using Windows 10, and I'm ok with that.

I use the tool I linked not only for modifying my hosts file, but it's a 1 stop menu to access all of Microsoft's scattered privacy settings.
Deanonymization and Proximity Detection Using Wi-Fi
I haven't heard of this, but it does sound logical.

The Mesosphere is defined as ending at an altitude of 85km. The next and last layer of the atmosphere is the Thermosphere, which end at 690km, but this is higher than the altitude at which most Shuttle missions orbited, for example.

(The "Exosphere" is above the Mesosphere, extending out to 10,000km, but gas particles in this layer are so far apart they do not behave as a "gas".)

So the most reasonable "boundary" of space would seem to be 85km.

As an aside: The lowest altitude at which an object in a circular orbit can complete at least one full revolution without propulsion is approximately 150km.

The "sky" does not turn completely black until 160km.
You conveniently left this out of your original comment, where you called people silly for not having things configured correctly.

This is a bit like saying that you've never had a problem with your car guzzling gas, or falsifying emissions, and then later casually mentioning that you actually own an electric motorcycle.
I lived down the road from the Chinese consulate in Houston, it being along my walk from home to the grocery story. I would see a decent-sized protest once or twice a month. One was always Tibet-related, the other would vary, but at recall least once seeing something along the lines of what you describe.
I feel much the same way about forced labour in prisons, but, unfortunately, our courts have made numerous arguments (That they feel are quite reasonable) to support it.

"They shouldn't have become criminals." "They cost us money, make them earn their keep." "The constitution permits this." are examples of how we justify that bit of inhuman utilitarianism.

Ask HN: Is facial recognition by itself appropriate security?
I keep seeing these articles where people can unlock phones and other devices using printouts or 3D models of a persons head. [1] It seems to me that your head is a "thing you have" and you should also need a "thing you know". Should this be a password, or perhaps a set of gestures? i.e. wink, wink, frown smile.

That'll certainly help a bit--you'll pick up several km/s of delta-v--but even this will still be pretty irrelevant in terms of interstellar distances.
That's why you can also update the post on raising VC funding evergreen too by updating the content so it is always relevant.

This logic can apply to a vast majority of content, with the exception of the daily news.
Point taken, but we’re a far cry from evidence as strong as talking. The article itself mentions refuted studies which were later proven to not be reproduceable. It’s more likely to find three weird fish than three fish that have self awareness unlike the rest of their species. Also unclear how many chances these fish were given, and I am guessing it was very generous.
