> The issue is that some genetic disorders do in fact have characteristic expressions from the physical to the mental

That's not the issue. The issue is thinking it's OK to make ludicrous, stereotypically comments about a huge group of people.

> Leaping to judge someone’s entire mental landscape by comparison to racism, based on a single statement and possibly poor choice of words is so harsh as to be without value.

I wholeheartedly disagree.

While my comment was in reply to a stereotyping comment, it was aimed at the wider group of people who still today spout such nonsense - I should have made that clearer tho. In particular, the doctor in the OP is a doctor, and should know better than to say such ridiculous things.

I also think the comparison to racism is valid. Many of the discriminating comments against those with disabilities are made out of ignorance. We've come a long way legislating and educating people about race, and it's made an incredible difference (at least in the UK; I realise the situation in the US is complex to say the least), and I think it's high time people stopping thinking it was OK to make comments like "all Down's are happy".

The libre is meant for monitoring the trend of the glucose, used together with a fingerstick reader. You can calibrate the values if you use xDrip to get better accuracy.

If you're interested in using a closed loop, take a look into AndroidAPS or Loop, how to build one by yourself. It's all open source and works really well. Been a user for some years now. You just need to compile it by yourself and own the right hardware.
I use a T450 and love it too, which OS are you running on it?
You probably meant "celebrated in lieu of Mothers' Day" -- March 8th has always been advertised, as it were, as "women's holiday" in USSR, there were no Mothers' (or Fathers') day per se.
It likely IS their motivation (or the more general motivation of making money anyway).

Then this is an even more disturbing thing. If "protecting their brand" means they have to act as if Sargon of Akkad is something -- contrary to the facts -- because activists and media have pushed a narrative, but they don't have to do anything about actual incidences of the n-word and groups possibly funding actual violence, then the narrative means all and facts mean nothing.

There is some group of people who has been corrupted by power and is abusing power. Nothing to do with identity here, but everything to do with socioeconomic power controlling information.
I agree, that's what I go by as well. After a few minutes it becomes uncomfortable in the summer, and I look for shade. The only exception is when you're swimming in the sea, when you don't really feel the sun's rays.
the fact that american college dorms do not have kitchen is something i find absolutely idiotic.

Why are there no shared kitchens? Most dorm-like university buildings i have seen in my country have shared kitchens for a couple of rooms or an entire floor.

The vision and strategy that lead directly to layoffs? Seems like a reasonable thing to me.
I think it really did take 2 million dollars. The video explains why. We have decided to make a lot of trade offs when doing government infrastructure work that makes it really expensive. But this isn't government in general, it's American government specifically that is really inefficient at building things.

In Texas I've been to over ten government run parks (like ones you'd go camping in), and I've never even heard of a private one.

> There are also large lots in the U.S. that aren't owned by anybody. The last two subdivisions I lived in had tracts that were not owned by anybody, just wilderness.

This interests me immensely, as I'd love to figure out how to take ownership of these "unowned" wilderness parcels, get some title insurance for them (if someone shows up with unrecorded ownership interest, there is some recourse then), and then deed them to land conservation entities to preserve them indefinitely. Small efforts in helping the US get closer to Europe as it relates to ownership of land where anyone can still walk, hike, camp on the land ("Freedom To Roam") [1].

I have never read it that way, but rather as a shorthand for VC dominated tech-startup culture. I’m a developer that’s never worked on the west coast though; it may have different regional connotations.
If you disregard noise/variation as an indicator of which event is cause or effect, then neither of the events you propose is clearly the cause of the other. Because variation in barometer pressure is likely to be perfectly correlated with variation in storms, there's no noise/variation in either event that isn't also present in the other, so neither emerges as more likely to be the cause of the other.

This strategy of identifying the causal event works only for pairs of positively correlated events whose variations/noise sometimes do not occur together, like an increase in umbrellas without an increase in rain.

Can barometric pressure rise or fall due to causes other than storms? Can storms arise without being caused by a rise in pressure? I'd say maybe yes to the first (an elevation change of the meter, or a storm front that passes you very quickly but whose clouds don't pass directly overhead — maybe). But I'd say definite no to the second. If you are hit with rain from a storm, your baro pressure will drop. Thus storms cause pressure to drop, but pressure drop does not cause storms.

I have to disagree with multiple assignees here for two reasons:

- Accountability. If it’s everyone’s job, it’s nobody’s job. This is project management 101, every task needs a single person who is responsible for ensuring that task is done.

- Scope. If you feel like you need multiple assignees, this can be a signal that your task is too high-level and needs broken down into smaller units of work (which will generally have one assigned). Something like Jira offers epics, stories, and any other custom issue type you can imagine for doing this.
That's not your problem. Your problem is that some of the older colleges have vast holdings of property and they are very, very good at exploiting them. They know every trick in the book, not least because several chapters of the book are case studies of tricks pulled by the colleges in the past. Solicitors dealing with conveyancing around Cambridge hear that a college has land anywhere near the site and tremble with fear.

I am using Scrivener. It is a software used by writers. Imagine a Microsoft OneNote, but simpler. I create Folders-Chapters-Texts and I use standard name sorting for my entried. E.g. for journaling my texts are titled "2019-01-12" so they are sorted automatically.

I keep separate Folders for Work-Personal-etc, and sub-folders for Work: GRC, Coding, App Ideas, etc

It has the ability to paste screen clippings in there and URLs, and it backups up everything on a My Documents subfolder (which MyDoc is automatically synced to my Carbonite)

I also keep there my To-Watch, and my To-Read where I keep listing of movies, and books.

I also have a Books folder where I make entries/notes for each book I read (I got this idea from a HN comment)

>Unluckily many students who attend lectures have an attitude where they need to be convinced instead of taught.

Isn't this backwards? If you're just accepting the lecturer's word as dogma, I would argue you're not really gaining an education at all. The process of being convinced and having doubts about the material resolved improves critical thinking and improves understanding of the underlying material as well.
Cartesian product could be the default behavior if you select from multiple tables. I'm not sure what the standard says about this one.
I think it's the kind of thing that could work rather well on some sites and terribly on others. For example, a site about a wacky, humourous game/TV show/film/whatever could integrate something like this into the 'universe' of the work, and have it read out by one of the characters. The site for the next Donkey Kong Country game could have its privacy policy written like Cranky Kong's cynical comments in the instruction manual, a site for Banjo-Kazooie or Yooka-Laylee could have the snarky side kick reading out the privacy policy, and I think it'd be the right tone for my Wario series fan site/forum's privacy policy too.

At the same time though, this would horribly inappropriate/annoying for a 'serious' company like a bank or financial institution, and go down poorly for someone everyone hates like Google or Facebook.

It's all about context really. Sometimes something like this may work well, sometimes it wouldn't. What'd work for Rare wouldn't work for Comcast and vice versa.

Yea, I used to live in central, rural Florida for a few years. It's rural. Farms and ranches. They have a lot of land to cover, a hot and humid climate that eats anything left alone for too long, and not a high density of expendable cash because it's various types of farming which has almost always been low margin. So the roads are going to not be great. But people were as fat and happy there as anywhere else. Spanish moss makes everything look dilapidated, it grows on everything including power lines. Sure it's poor compared to many other places, but I've also been to third world countries, and they are certainly not that. Not even close. So yea, the poorest areas of the USA are still not too bad, I think that says something.

Another thing that's idiotic is that I can't even find ,,kitchen'' mentioned in the article about food on college campus. Without this top comment I wouldn't have understood the real problem.

I don't expect any service to stand the test of time.

So I want to spread my code across multiple services. And when one goes down in 10 years or so, clone it from one of the others to yet another one.

Paying is not an option. Because I want a hassle free solution. Paid services would be prone to even more issues. For example when I change my credit card I would have to think about updating the CC information. At some point Credit Cards might go out of fashion. And the provider and I might not have a common payment channel anymore. Or the provier raises their fees to a level that I find too expensive.

I want a solution that I can set up and then forget about it for as long as possible.

Just the standard stuff: Calendar - I have a CalDav server running which provides CardDav as well but there are plenty of commercial alternatives. In addition I use the notes app - without sync - on my phone to plan days if there is a need for it at that day.

Like many others here, I also tried this todo-$timeframe approach. It's better than nothing. But honestly, since I have my own Redmine installation pursuing any long term goal or complex personal project becomes actually doable and isn't a pain anymore. (Trello etc. would probably work as well but I like that it's open source and provides a lot of interoperability which I didn't set up though yet)

What I especially like is the Gantt chart feature and that tasks can be split (manually of course), set in dependency and to some degree stuff automatically gets rearranged when it comes to the time frame.

My only recurring daily todo is somehow to actually use these tools.
If you have $2k of speakers, I assume you have a receiver that you use to connect it to your TV and other audio producing sources. You simply plug a normal Chromecast in said receiver, and not only you can route music, you can also route videos from Youtube, Netflix, Plex and thousands of other sources to it.

> Huh. US tax isn’t Low?!?

I'm not sure if you read my comment correctly.

> The US taxes citizens abroad, but you get to deduct taxes paid to your country of residence. Since the US has relatively low taxes, this usually means citizens abroad pay no taxes to the US.

I am saying that taxes in the US are low, which is why citizens abroad usually don't have any more taxes to pay after deducting the taxes paid to their country of residence.

> I was stating (as a fact) where you learn it (at high school math classes).

Interestingly your "fact" is false - from my experience. You'd need to specific country where this high school is located, the year of the syllabus and possibly a region within a country. When I went to "high school" (we don't call it that) the syllabus differed by region.

And we never studied cartesian products.

it does seem a little harsh on the eyes - especially relative to something like python.

that said, I've heard similar arguments about lack of beauty strongly typed languages ..especially in the mid 2000s when the pendulum seemed to be on opposite end of its swing.

sooo. I dunno - probably best to look at what kinds of things can be done with this tool effectively relative to other tools that could be used. I can do A LOT with my circular saw, but there are many cases where reciprocating saw is a better idea.

Edit:
I used to write a lot of C code - and for the longest time turned up my nose at that "toy scripting language : javascript." Then a buddy who I respected set me straight in terms of it being a "real language" which coincided with the very early days of node.js. This also led me to dive into python .. after years of ignoring another guy who said it was pure joy. now I take a totally different view of languages that show up on the radar (although I'm still having a hard time grokking rust).
A former owner of our terraced property kept the title and sold the house leasehold. We bought the freehold recently (c.5% of the sale value) having been owner-residents of the property for some years; in theory the leaseholder could have turfed us out eventually, which is crazy IMO. It seems the leasehold system is mostly a way to screw people out of money.

Sometimes it makes sense, for flats/apartments say, but rarely beyond that. It has been used recently by house builders to gather rent from people who thought they were owners, basically add in quite considerable hidden costs. Leases get sold on and the new owners add considerable "maintenance" fees, like hundreds of pounds per year (for which they literally do nothing, except administer the charges).
Its also I suspect a reaction against they naughty shit around expropriating land in the english civil war an dteh wars in Ireland.

Blocker in client project : either DIY, or look for workarounds, or escalate to client and reduce scope. Planning gets suitably modified for rest of the week and month.

Blocker in personal projects : some of my ideas have turned out to be not as easily implementable as I had first imagined. I usually reduce scope - because the idea after all started off as part of some life goal - but I have also dropped some ideas entirely. I record the reasons in the project directory to revisit later. I deliberately avoid overanalyzing in such cases - as somebody prone to procrastination, overanalysis of a tough idea is like entering a blackhole for me.

Fire hazards are not a good enough reason to not have kitchens?

US college students are adults right? Why would they not have any acces to a kitchen because of a possible fire hazard.

In terms of 'bad actors' ruining a kitchen, that seems more like a social problem more then anything else. Breaking a kitchen also seems like a senseless idea, especially in a community of people you live with.

The article is about Canada, but for EU law it wouldn't be a blanket rule that says that you may not be filmed while on the job, but rather that the filming must have a reasonable purpose. Filming the entrances for security reasons is such a reasonable purpose, but that means the footage may not be used for example to measure employee performance.

Your argument, and you see this nihilistic tendency often in privacy discussions, is also based on some strange notion that if your privacy has been violated once (and you didn't voice your disapproval), it may be acceptably violated again. I see no reason for this to be.

Or possibly outlets you could plug a hotplate(induction ones don't even get hot...they just heat the metal pan...so not even really a fire hazard unless you just leave it for hours...though they usually have shutdown timers these days....but i mean these are adults we're talking about here...), or a rice cooker or a microwave or an electric kettle into? There's lots of ways to make cheap easy food. I just don't understand you could be in college, have access to electricity and starve....

There are so many ways to cheaply feed yourself, even without a kitchen, that it seems like a self induced problem. If you can't afford the cafeteria food and you have no kitchen...how is the only other option just to starve???

Are you sure that the reading were 20-30 percent off and not just delayed? Libre and other sensors measure sugar level in the extracellular fluid and it takes some time before glucose gets there from blood.

The delays make the comparison difficult. Also if it gets too high or low then people react and quickly change the slope of the graph, then the sugar level in the extracellular fluid would not reach the same extremum as the sugar in the blood.
Yep, attrition was over twice that last year at some firms in the area. Partly demographics, lots of folks who can retire do. The rest due to competition for staff.
