Yes, like it or not, they do.

Lol. Non-existent as in they don't produce any important studies, hardly get cited, and don't influence mainstream economics. Apart from academia, they're non existent in industry or in government. The fact a few exist in universities doesn't make them relevant.

I own an English version of her book and recently bought a German copy to give as a gift for Christmas. Strange as it may sound, even though I don't really like the "style of the method" it's very efficient. Thanking the items and the whole sparking of joy are a bit over the top for me and chapter 5 is by and large too spiritual for my taste. I toss the stuff away without any parting words and joy for me is more a "is it useful" or "do I really need this" (which is pretty much what she has in mind anyways).

What I consider pure gold is:

* Dumping everything on the floor and going through that mountain because it shows you very clearly how much stuff you have

* All the advice on folding. I actually enjoy the folding and storing now because I know it's more neat overall. I vastly prefer the vertical shirts to a stack now. I probably wouldn't have considered rethinking the old stack of stuff if it wasn't for the book

* Giving items a home of sorts is also a good overall concepts. I have caught myself thinking "this item is out of place, let me quickly return it to its home"

* Going by category instead of location...really helps me get started/keep tidying

On a related note, I found the Netflix series surprisingly underwhelming/repetitive. The most useful parts were the folding explanations.

tl;dr: MK's stuff is great, I'd recommend the book to everyone :)
Upgrading Postgresql between major version requires previous version to be installed[1]. With auto-cleanup, when new version is installed, old will be uninstalled automatically, unless they added some exclusion mechanism for it, but I don't see anything about it in "postgres" formula[2].

Wuffs: a domain-specific language for handling untrusted file formats
I'm going to make a contrarian argument, so I should preface it by noting that I write technical documentation in Markdown for a living, write an awful lot of fiction in Markdown as well, and write the rest of my fiction in Scrivener, which only superficially resembles a word processor. Furthermore, I've typeset several books with LaTeX.

Having said that, an awful lot of tech nerds (arguably like myself) seem to seriously underestimate what word processors can do.

Back when I did write fiction in a word processor, and even now when I have to send fiction to editors who expect things in Word format because that is the lingua franca of the non-technical publishing world, I don't have to spend an awful lot of time formatting manuscripts. Word processors have templates, and hierarchical styles. I wouldn't need a macro to auto-fill in the preamble because I'd have a template that included that.

But if I did want a macro, I could have it! A lot of word processors do have macro languages! Many of them also have search-and-replace capability which is basically regular expressions with an easier syntax. For all the crap Word gets, much of it well-deserved, it's actually pretty good at editing prose. It's almost like they've been developing it for over thirty years or something.

If you're in a position -- which I am -- to use a plain text editor for all your prose writing, and you prefer it, that's terrific. And you could totally make the argument that if your final copy is going to be LaTeX, you should start in plain text, whether or not you're using LaTeX markup from the beginning. But the notion that Word is some kind of underpowered little toy no real author should ever possibly use is just, well, wrong.

Wow you're really passionate about your cheese huh? :) Question - could your parents have afforded real cheese and not the plastic processed stuff?

I like LyX a lot, but I have issues with the generated LaTEX code. It does not lend itself very well for manual adjustments.

If I have to match a journal style, I will generally resort to Kile and write LaTeX directly, using the journal template (most journals only have LaTeX templates) and following their instructions.

But if the style is just a standard LaTeX style, LyX is great, especially for complex formulas. Unlike plain LaTeX you cannot ruin the structure of a math equation by misplacing a bracket.

We built out our gRPC services starting about 8 months ago. I pounded my fists on the gRPC-web issue board a bunch of times. Things started moving. In the end, it was too little and the effort is too divided. Also the route for which they wanted to implement streaming was, personally, poorly designed.

We have since switched to GraphQL and haven't looked back.

That's surprising, since Google uses protobufs very (very!) extensively internally, and it'd have to be a very exotic use case for protobufs not to be useful. Which isn't to say they're the be-all-end-all, but I'd be curious to hear your use case.

I wonder what developer access you can achieve with that 8110 device? For FirefoxOS devices the debugging and developer stuff used to be fun via Firefox browser and was simply Android on the low level. Also FirefoxOS devices were generally not locked down in any meaningful way.

> collective action problems where coordination benefits every company in a way that individual action wouldn't

Remember we are talking about Capitalist corporations that answer to investors.

Your point is great if there is an incentive to only benefit the consumer. The benefit in this case is to maximize profit at all cost. Profit creed(not greed) is to ingrained the need to maximize profit. Because of that, greed is the ultimate driver against achieving 'self regulation', hence the reason why we have gov regulations in the first place.

> Your opinion seems to echo the author's so it was an obvious question

But it doesn't. I wrote a single paragraph, mostly describing what I thought was a key aspect of the article, and calling it "interesting". The author wrote a whole article addressing multiple things. I'm not even the submitter of the article! Your assumptions are unwarranted.

> neither you nor the author mentioned this until now which made your argument seem pointless.

But I didn't make any argument. Please re-read what I wrote and tell me what my "argument" was that seemed "pointless" to you.

It seems you are arguing with me because you can't with the author? I just wrote something about the actual content of the article, when other replies were "I loved Jackie Chan in Rush Hour!", which is unrelated to the topic.
Hack together a new home Bunch of shipping containers for sale
Living out of the sticks, the tool that brings me joy is the one that's already lying around in my workshop, and that I don't need to drive into town to buy on that once-in-a-year occasion that I need it.

Personally I try and buy tools second hand, as they are typically cheaper and of better quality than the new tools sold in hardware stores. And they can be resold for about the same I paid for them, making them free to own.

Apart, that is, from their alleged intrusion on my personal joy from cluttering my workshop. Which is rubbish - workshops should be exempt from this joyful thinking, they are places where you want to find that useful piece of scrap material lying somewhere - anywhere - when you need it.

I'm curious about this encrypted VoIP network. I've never heard of an off-the-shelf product like that, so was it custom-written? What was the interface like?

who introduced the kingpin to the I.T. expert, testified
last month that Mr. Rodriguez had promised to arrange
secure communications for what amounted to the entire
cartel’s leadership. His system operated on VoiP, or voice
over internet protocol, Mr. Marston said on Tuesday, and
was accessible only to those within the network. According
to Mr. Cifuentes, Mr. Guzmán was able to sign in through
Wi-Fi even from his hide-outs in the Sierra Madre
mountains.

I'm an epidemiologist, on the more mathematical/computational side of things.

Mostly, for beamer, I find that it encourages three things:

1) Very uniform formatting that keeps everything in say, a conference, as sort of a blur.

2) Lots of "I'm going to skip this slide..."

3) Encouragement of the "A presentation is a paper you read to people" style.

None of these are unique to beamer, but seems to promote it (in my anecdotal experience).

One year of Deep learning
Turkish has been taught in Germany for quite a while, with little or no controversy. Here's an article from 2014 on this [1], which mentions it started around 30 years earlier.

Germany and Turkey have long had a close economic relationship. Turkey is a major vacation destination for Germans. The largest ethnic minority in Germany is Turks. Germany has promoted Turkish migration to Germany for over 200 years, which really picked up in the mid 20th century to fill the German labor loses from WW II.

Offering Turkish as an elective language in Germany seems roughly equivalent to offering Spanish in the Southwestern United States.

It is very interesting to me how the perspective of the Chinese government seems to be that they should run their entire sovereignty like a business. Some politicians in the US claim to want to run /government/ like a business, but China seems happy to run the entire country as one.

In China we effectively have a CEO in Xi Jinping, beholden to the board of investors that is the global economy. And the same forces are at play. China can punt on ethics so long as the return is good, and they have pressure to keep growing. So long as the banks are happy the game continues.

The global investment-backed economy is efficient for allocating resources for the purposes of increasing monetary value but it will always introduce a moral hazard since short term returns will usually be better when corners are cut.

True, but why laugh at Amazon? What can you possibly gain by picking on the "little guy"?

The reporter is supposed to be an expert in this field. That's why 60 minutes hired him, instead of someone else, for the job. I am sure there was no shortage of applicants who wanted this job.

Why couldn't he be more open-minded and supportive of a startup like Amazon? Instead of constantly laughing at Amazon and Jeff Bezos (like his choice of cars)

So why be a snob? As you said, no one knows what will happen. Why laugh at the little guy? You don't know what's going to happen

> Bit of a conflict there. They’re not going to lower prices elsewhere just to expand in India.

The thing is they can - if they manufacture the phones in India.

When they import the phones from China to India, they have to pay duty on it, which is ultimately passed on to the customer, thus making the iPhone costlier in India. So even if the manufacturing cost ends up the same as in China, the made in India iPhone can be priced cheaper.

The problem with Apple's current approach is that they want a SINGLE MINIMUM PRICE POINT for all their devices, and the CEILING for that minimum price point is fixed based on the US and European market (the developed countries).

Note that for a developing country like India or China, even a $750 (for example) iPhone puts it in the very high-segment "luxury" range.

So Apple can still preserve its perception of highly desirable luxury / fashion / tech company, even with a lower price, in developing countries.

Ofcourse, their fear is that these cheaper phones may then be imported to the developed countries and poach sales there.

That is the dilemma that they face and need to crack.

On iOS, the built in apps aren't "uninstalled" either as they're stored in the OS image just like on Android. So when you delete them, you're just disabling them the same way, and you can put them back just as easily.

The difference is that Apple makes the operation appear to be the same as deleting them and that's a good thing from a UI perspective. Clearly the "disable" option in Android is too confusing for some people.
