I used to be irritated by middle-click paste as well. That stopped when I had someone explain it to me as follows:

> It’s just another clipboard. One clipboard is interfaced via the keyboard. One clipboard is interfaced via the mouse.

Perhaps that’s common knowledge, but that understanding made me instantly fall in love with middle-click paste.

In most terminal emulators, Ctrl-C deviates from normal behavior in favor of sending SIGINT. However, some terminal emulators (e.g. the one in elementary OS) makes the simple decision that if text is highlighted, copy it. Otherwise, send SIGINT. That closes all loose ends for me.
My mom was a high school art teacher (masters in art ed.) before she home-schooled me, and one of the reasons she'd often bring up was how she felt much of the time spent in traditional education consists of shuffling kids around from one room to the next, and she wanted something better for me.

As for socialization, that was more than likely the most commonly voiced concern I would encounter. I'd get a lot of "but don't you wish you were with other kids?", and I would think "who the heck wants to be stuck with a bunch of kids?"
It's very often allowed on Southwest on the ground if you have kids, particularly if you are doing a stopover. If you have young kids, book your next flight with a stop (where you stay on the plane), and ask nicely, you should be able to get a cool picture of the family in the cockpit. We've done it twice, my son loved it.
This can be true, and not true.

How students learn varies a lot more than many of us want to admit.

It is best to have a variety of means available, and multiple opportunities for students tonpresent how they learn.
> So when people go to buy one more game... they go to Steam, naturally.

Not really, I personally go and buy it on GOG. Sure, Steam is the biggest store these days, but there is competition. And it's good when developers release in all stores. That's the proper way.

Exclusivity is a bad method to fix monopoly, since it simply creates another monopoly. I.e. if you had one problem, now you have two.
The flip side of this is realizing where the path might have lead you. Were I in your position, I suspect my regret might be tinged with relief. Zynga might be an extremely profitable company, but they also epitomize some of what I view as the most egregious offenses in manipulation human nature for monetary gain.

So, were I presented with your prior circumstances and had I capitalized on them, would my convictions have caused the company to fail, or steered it a less profitable path, or possible have been compromised through a slow erosion, greed, or a combination thereof?

For another take, if the Zuckerberg of 2004/2005 was presented with what Facebook would be in 2019, extreme success, billions of dollars, social problems, and increasing questions about what role it does and has played in Democracy and an informed populace, how do we think he might have thought of all that?

I use iMX6 because it has nice features for image processing, like compressing camera input to H264 before putting information to memory.
The short answer is that PAKE is single-use, so the attacker only gets one guess (and their attempt prevents the legitimate peer from trying either). Each time they consume someone else's transfer attempt, they get a 1-in-65k chance of succeeding, and a 65535-in-65536 chance of alerting the peer that they failed.

For the attacker to have a 50/50 chance of successfully stealing your file transfer, you'd have to (on average) re-run the `wormhole send` program over 30000 times. I don't know about you, but I'm not that patient, and I'd give up long before they had a significant chance of success :).
This existed back in the day. It was called GameTap, and it was waaay too far ahead of its time.
BTW it's been in debian+ubuntu for a couple of years, so `apt install magic-wormhole` works too.
UE4 uses their own C++ containers (such as TArray and TMap), which is very far from modern C++ (which recommends using STL like a part of the language). And UE4's macro system has garbage collection support built in, which would upset the modern C++ folks using shared_ptr and unique_ptr. They don't even like macros, they prefer using template metaprogramming whenever possible...
I thought the chocolate-acne link was an old wives tale?
Overvalued? Probably. Overhyped? Definitely Overused and talked about? Probably again.

But the idea that crypto is 'worthless' is comically naive. Ideas A LOT dumber than a cryptographic mechanism to store a record of value that can be accessed in short time anywhere in the world without third parties have grains of worth.

And the argument is all the more ridiculous when the thing you compare it to (fiat) derives its value on the same abstract indirect "worth" (yeah I get it, a guy wearing a suit signed some papers that say the fiat case is special, and some judges agree, which does matter, but is not the only way things in the world derive value)

But in my mind you lose your seat at the adult table when you make the mataphysical worth argument. It just doesn't hold water at all.

>That's really bunk. I mean "only elite can do it" it claim. Sure, it's not something you can create in one day, but it's not something that out of reach either, especially when people are collaborating on it.

The graveyard of hundreds of abandoned open source game engines begs to disagree with you. I agree that it seems absurd, but you really can't underestimate the amount of man hours put into these things. Unreal has been under constant development for over 20 years.

It's the same as flight simulation. Why is there only one viable flight simulator (X-Plane) on the market? It's because that kind of coding is simply beyond 99% of developers, and it takes a huge well funded and focused team to make something state of the art.
Yeah, for sure. The flood is one of my most vivid memories in gaming (and I didn't even play the game until years after it had come out, around Halo 3 days I think).

Many games since (including Destiny) have tried to recreate that feeling of an oppressive enemy that you can't defeat, only push back or cut a temporary swathe through. But no one comes close to Halo.
Outside the USA most airlines permit it except to/from USA. My kid loved it.
Right. That’s why unions make it worse. With the passage of time, more students due to increasing population but also higher pension burden.

This is like a tottering tower built on a semi solid foundation. It will topple because soon there is not enough money to educate but only to maintain those who have retired.(aka not productive in the economic system). It is highly irrational.

I wonder if public education is exactly what’s leading to inequalities and the need for equality is actually making us accept lowest common denominator.

Having classes on the basis of age is also problematic. I think children should be educated in groups with different age groups. Instead of curriculums, they can learn whatever they want and be guided to pursue what interests them most. The evaluations can be once in 3-5 years maybe? And they can streamed into groups according to their abilities. In a lot of ways, the pressure will be off kids and they can truly learn..to be the best in what interests them and where their abilities are their strengths.

For the statutory law, I have found after many years of experience that it’s very worth it to take 8-16 hours and read the actual statutes. Such as the Securities and Exchange Act, Reg S and the recent JOBS Act changes should be required reading for startup CEOs raising money. Sure, you won’t get all the case law nor the later additions, but you’ll understand what the overall framework is. Then you can discuss specifics with a lawyer. Also if you’re a startup, some lawyers may take an advisor equity in exchange for 4 hours a month or so.

What led me to this conclusion is that after years and years of asking random questions while lawyers set everything up, I kept discovering new things about the exchange act until I just read it.

There are standard docs these days on docracy and other sites for most things. The JOBS Act has simplified fundraising quite a bit for startups. Especially if you use rule 506b for friends and family, you can later choose to go the VC route OR use rule 506c or Reg CF for access to liquidity using public solicitation.

EXPERIMENTAL SECTION:

A final note about security tokens. An obscure but very useful fact is that non-equity securities do not have a limit on how many investors you can have, before you must become a publicly reporting company. And selling to NON US investors they may be able to trade your securities after 40 days. However, their local jurisdiction may have other ideas, and this is one of those areas where you can either try to abide by all local laws in theory, or in practice take advantage of the fact that, in early stages, governments of foreign jurisdictions aren’t going to waste too much political capital on long-arm actions to go after US corporations because they failed to prevent an overseas investor from selling their securities early.

Well let's pile some more random data onto this tire fire and jump to some conclusions. (edit: comparing 2015 to 2017)

How much do Americans earn?

2015 data [1]: median household income was $52K. If you're white. If you're black, the median is $34K. So, only like, 1/3 less. Or if you're asian, the median is $72K.

2017 data [2]: median household income apparently jumps to $62k. If you're white it's $65k, black it's $40k, asian $81k.

Then the Social Security data (from 2013) shows the median net compensation for individuals is $28K. And according to tax data, the bottom 50% of taxpayers make less than $34K.

Since the poverty level for a family of 4 (in 2017) is $25k, that means a majority of families of 4 (which, again have to pay 4x for more food, clothing, transportation, education, and miscellaneous) have a bit more than subsistence level money.

2017 data [3]: Census claims the poverty level for a household of 1 is $12k. What? Who the fuck is living in America on $12k a year?

Adding up all the people making less than $15k comes to ~28% of Americans, or 92 million people, just above to below poverty level (SSA data for 2017 [5]). But Census poverty data [6] says only 12% are in poverty. There's a huge gap between the SSA's numbers of people and their net compensation, compared to the Census's formulation of how many people are in poverty. How is there a gap of 52 million people in calculating the poverty rate? Can someone point out what's going on?

GDP is also higher than median household income, which doesn't take inflation into account.

Same claims have been made about codecs. "Only elite can do it", "you can't make it open" and etc. Yet, we have great open collaborative projects today for state of the art video and audio codecs. So it's not a technical issue.
So does the linux kernel as current, previous or even release candidates..
> Do these beliefs change anything about the real opportunities or obstacles that come our way? Not one bit. But beliefs dramatically affect what we see and what we do.

Wouldn't it be better to believe the truth that beliefs don't change the circumstances that come our way instead of believing in good or bad luck? The downside of thinking you're lucky is a tendency to overlook problems. I've noticed that when people (including myself) are being overly optimistic, potential challenges and pitfalls are minimized.

"For individuals the upshot is the same: aim small. It will always suck to work for large organizations, and the larger the organization, the more it will suck."

do you agree?
Pretty incredible that it's survived decades and multiple iterations of the game, and you can still pick it up and buy your trusty AK or M4 and play essentially the same game from decades ago.
This hasn't been the case for a number of years, Mitre has seriously picked up their game, and you can talk to linux vendors such as Red Hat, Ubuntu and SuSE who also have blocks of CVE's assigned for things they shipped.

The alternative is DWF, which would be more popular if this was a more common problem.

Well, watching a retired public school teacher get huffy and start chomping at your mother about how she's ruining her child can be a polarizing experience.
Bay Area is a large metropolitan area, so yes, there are places like what you described.

There are also great cities with walkable downtowns often right next to a train station. You can choose to live close to these areas and enjoy walkability, or live a bit further and drive everywhere.
There are definitely choices
Probably a little bit safer, and much more comfortable for the pilots since the fuselage is so much wider. Airlines care about cost. On cost, the 737 is a huge winner, because it's the most produced airliner ever, by a wide margin. It also has a wide range of sizes, from 103 on a -600 to 188 on a MAX 10. There are lots of pilots that already have a 737 type certificate, there are lots of maintenance shops that can work on them, parts are very available anywhere in the world, and leasing companies like them because they are very common and thus a relatively liquid asset.
This resonated with me because the phone company left open a connection closet for 90 days at a time less than a mile from where I live. I first thought that it was a lazy or forgetful employee but now I wonder if it was on purpose.

In Michigan the phone company has repeatedly tried to discontinue landline service. Since 911 service location reporting isn't supported yet on cells that would leave most of the state without this service. Luckily there was bipartisan push back on this issue.

I first encountered these last year walking through the woods around Austin. There was no snow so they were very visible amid the brown backdrop and exquisitely beautiful. They all formed around the base of a particular type of pithy stalk plant, just like as shown in the video.

Do you really want to be the arbiter of right and wrong in all these cases? A lot of people think naked baby pictures are fine. Who are you to tell them they're not? It seems to me you want to police the whole world to make what you think is indecent disappear. Guess who also has similar ideals? Hardcore islamists (not that I'm saying wanting to block search results and creating a totalitarian regime are the same thing, but the ideal is wrong in both cases, in my opinion).

> While ideologically coherent this position is inconsistent with another fact: it should be illegal to push people to commit crimes.

“Should” indicates a statement of subjective preference, not a fact.

> More precisely if you abolish the concept of "obscenity exception" you still have that a lot of the same is illegal by "crime promulgation" (not a nice word, could not think of anything better)

The Supreme Court has found that the ability of the Government to restrict “crime promulgation” is narrow, due to the First Amendment:

“the constitutional guarantees of free speech and free press do not permit a State to forbid or proscribe advocacy of the use of force or of law violation except where such advocacy is directed to inciting or producing imminent lawless action and is likely to incite or produce such action” Brandenburg v. Ohio (1969).

But with more private schools, wouldn’t it be more affordable especially for the middle class?

Public schools should only be for those who can’t afford their children’s education. If one is wealthy one must pay more their kids education. I mean..if I am a multi millionaire, I am getting a fancy car and a nice house. Why can’t I pay more for my child’s education?

Public education shouldn’t be tied to property tax. We will pay less tax with the option to educate our kids the way we see fit. I still don’t understand what charter and magnet schools are in this country. I will get around to it soon. Regardless, this system is failing. So if it fails, it must be fixed..no? How is the next step..but the first step is to admit that there is a problem, no?
I don’t have a single link for you. Gee, looks like you win the internet.

Except, just try it. Try to exclude them from your diet, and see where you wind up.

And at this point, we can see that there’s nothing to your argument except pedantry. You use vague blanket statements “all” and “carbs” but link to a specific article about refined carbohydrates only, which really doesn’t cover the total scope of “all” carbohydrates.

Carbohydrates are a chemical class. You get carbs when you eat fruits and vegetables. Those are carbs.

People who go vegan have to deal with managing their carb intake all the time, and guess what? It ain’t just because of bread, pasta, rice, whole grain, flour and sugar. The sources of protein for a vegan diet often bring carbs along for the ride. Legumes bring carbs to the table. Quinoa is really popular, but includes a carbohydrate load, even though it’s a good source of essential amino acids.

If carbohydrates aren’t an essential aspect of metabolism, then can you explain the role of glycolysis as an input to the Krebs cycle? Need a link for that?

Re: choices offered in Halo vs Destiny, I’d offer Destiny has all of the complexity you seek, only it doesn’t present itself in a way that’s very obvious. I’ve only recently started playing (PS Plus free download) and initially arrived at the same conclusion, but as I started acquiring exotics, and tinkering around with different character subclasses, the depth of the game design started to reveal itself. There’s a real lack of clarity in getting you into the games feedback loops, but once you hit them, it can get really addictive.

This, coupled with the really engaging and welcoming community, are a few of the elements that have me excited about this announcement. Bungie is still responsible for getting involved in the initial mess of Destiny’s initial launch, but hopefully they have learned from their prior experiences.
