Honestly, in a real hostage takers situation, you negotiate and negotiate so much they lose the will to hold.

Here is an interesting book about it,

So your nugget of wisdom is actually bad advice in real world, wrong analogy when arguing about separation of powers and checks and balances.
Or if you want to have a home when you travel. A kitchen, living room, etc... I'd almost always prefer having these things to a hotel room.
The boost was a weak compromise that doesn't reflect the desires of the right. Build a wall and it will still be up when a new president comes in. If Trump settled for the boost, he'd be making a very weak compromise.

Just because the dems offered something doesn't mean it was a good counter offer.

When sold legally, it's less expensive than Starbucks even if it's not covered by insurance. If people are forced to access illegal substitutes, that's because of bad government policy and not because of the company.

Now AWS copied MongoDB API without fees anyway, maybe MongoDB can revert their license back?
Hahah, once at work a guy force pushed to a branch that was just about to be merged. This almost resulted in some guys work being lost but luckily it was recovered.

This was immediately followed by another dev writing 'DO NOT FORCE PUSH' on a post-it and sticking it to his monitor :D

Edit: I meant merged not committed.
Acid test: on drugs and science fiction (2017)
I think the cracks in "break the rules" startups such as Uber, Airbnb, Tesla, etc. are starting to show. However, I think these companies have surfaced some interesting product ideas with accompanying demand. More established players might be able to adjust the business model a bit and make things more sustainable.

Ultimately we may not be staying at Airbnbs and driving Teslas, but maybe we'll be staying at some sort of Marriott "Experiences" boutique and driving electric cars from GM.
There may have been more actual equilibrium in Smith's time. Mayer-Schonberger (Oxford) pointed out that, "...price is compromised by the very fact that it abridges the information available to the market." The conclusion, of his interesting but incomplete argument, is that price (traditionally understood) becomes increasingly untethered to reality as the digital economy overtakes the physical.
That describes lots of activities.
If you haven't read "Why Doctors Hate Their Computers" [0] I highly recommend it. It relates exactly to what you're talking about (in terms of boring admin work) and applies to more than just doctors.

My takeaway was that while doctors hate the very structured process and busywork, the hospital admins think it is better for the patient and better for the institution.

In some ways it makes sense. It's hard to refine and make a process consistent when every doctor does things different or doesn't properly record everything. On the other hand it removes a lot of agency from the doctors and leaves them unfulfilled.

It's mass production principles applied to "knowledge" work.

There was a time when one person would make a whole chair. I imagine it was at least somewhat fulfilling to transform a bunch of wood into a functional object.

As time went on it became clear that it was more efficient to break it into component parts, blah blah blah, assembly line. After the assembly line (but before automation) there were a lot of people "making" chairs, but I'm sure the guy fixing the right arm in place didn't feel as fulfilled as the original craftsperson.

We're getting that to some degree in hospitals now. Hospital admins want the ability to tinker with procedure, to know what's going on in a real, measured way and maximize efficiency. It just so happens that it leaves the doctors a whole hell of a lot less fulfilled.

It's either not in the base repo / unmaintained quickly. I remember running MySQL on Debian / CentOS couple of years ago it was a joke how old the versions were.

You should always use the official repo ( with provided RPM / deb ) for that kind of app.

Example for CentOS 7.x:

yum info mysql-connector-java.noarch

Name : mysql-connector-java
Arch : noarch
Epoch : 1
Version : 5.1.25
Release : 3.el7
Size : 1.3 M

I didn't dismiss them I just don't believe they are impossible to deal with.

Again you are just listing a bunch of things that might or might not happen without any evidence: 1) that they will happen, 2) that we can't deal with them if they happen. 3) when they will happen.

Yet you consider yourself the rational one.
Senate Democrats asked for a report justifying the $5b after they had already passed a bill allocating $1.6b. What they got was an outdated report for the $1.6b.

There's no way $5b will be the end of it. We're talking about a wall along a 2000 mile long imaginary line. A wall dividing a literal continent.
Ugh what a mess. It's not just that we are lighting money on fire, it's also that the reason for all of it is so pointless. Those poor furloughed workers are having very real damage inflicted upon them. Damage that will take years to recover from if they ever do. It's cruel, its pointless, its stupid. At this point the shutdown has cost more than a wall ever would.

Then of course there's the more disturbing thought that if I were a Russian asset looking to sow chaos and economic instability in the country, a shutdown (and a trade war, and alienating our allies abroad) would do a pretty good job...
Even worse, there's no known end date. You can't go traveling, visit your family or anything else you'd do on vacation because the shutdown _could_ end tomorrow and then you'd have to go back.

If walls are effective, why isn't the plan to build one around all of the US?

The reason is simple: walls aren't effective everywhere. The walls and fences that are up now? They weren't just randomly placed. They were put where they were to do the most good. Some have been more effective than others, but all together, the problem is no longer along the souther border.

As for the plan for the wall being immoral: it's not right to waste money on things that 1) don't have a real plan, and 2) we have solid evidence suggesting it won't be effective doing what we want it to do.

If you want to stop people from entering the US illegally and living here, you would do well to cut off their supply of jobs. This means going after organizations like the ones Trump runs that hire these people.

Not only will that be less expensive, it will be more effective, and have more of an immediate impact.
Mnemonic major system

It took a while for me to start burning fat efficiently when I started keto. YMMV. Day 1 was ok, 2 was difficult, 3 was the worst - had a persistent headache and my mind was at maybe 50% of what it is normally. After that I was fine, except for two issues -

1. I didn't feel hungry anymore, so I didn't want to eat. I had to force myself to eat protein so I wouldn't lose muscle.

2. I couldn't do strenuous exercise for at least a week afterwards. I could walk for several km at a time but running was difficult. Running up stairs even more so. But once I was fully adjusted to the diet 7-10 days in, I could do all of those things.

I'll return to this diet later this year. Really looking forward to it.

I don't know why you're being downvoted, but I agree with your assessment. Your tone is perhaps a bit harsh, but this is precisely the reason large companies grill candidates on basic CS knowledge because like it or not it forms a fundamental base for you to build stuff on.
As designed, even tilted you need to bend it out of shape to make a mark. And if you're bending it out of shape you're not guaranteed an accurate result, so why even use it? You can approximate a trisection without it.

The 773M Record “Collection #1” Data Breach
I taught some courses on AWS for a year and a half. The networking piece is something that is trivial for any network engineer, but for any developer (which is my background) working through the network piece is crucial. It takes a while and this looks like a good reference. However, it's best to also check out the AWS docs https://docs.aws.amazon.com/vpc/latest/userguide/what-is-ama... . They are not always the easiest read, but I find them to be pretty authoritative.

I also like this video https://www.oreilly.com/library/view/amazon-web-services/978... (part of http://shop.oreilly.com/product/0636920040415.do ). Full disclaimer, I used to work with Jon.

Yeah, things like CDMA and some of the other multiplexing signal techniques are incredibly cool. When I discovered that CDMA is just more or less a giant XOR with a mask in signal space it blew my mind. Being able to simultaneously share a frequency at the same time is a pretty nifty thing.
This is not an appeal to an authority, though (which you acknowledge with your "hints at" comment). An argument from authority is of the form "this guy is at Harvard, therefore his argument is correct."

What is happening here is that the popular press is using the professor's association with Harvard as a heuristic to determine whether or not to take him seriously enough to publish his arguments. To a first approximation, this is a reasonable thing to do, because it's using the prior probability of someone having something interesting to say to guide your choice of where to devote your scant attention.

By no means is this a substitute for an actual substantive evaluation of the claims being made; when that happens, you have fallen prey to the appeal to authority fallacy.
> Republicans passed a CR while they had the house but it was filibustered by Democrats in the Senate

https://www.congress.gov/congressional-record/2018/12/19/sen...

The senate passed a CR on December 19th / 20th, which would have prevented the shutdown (at least until Feb 8). Period. The House failed to pass this CR.

The measure passed with 71 Ayes. That's filibuster proof (and Veto-proof to boot), with numerous Democrats and Republicans agreeing together. Your history is straight up wrong.
First of all, the problem as such does not exist: illegal border crossings are at there lowest in decades, and what remains is a stream of young, eager people as easily integrated into the economy as previous generations of (Irish/Italian/Jewish/etc) immigrants.

And even if, serious conservatives point at far better uses for the money, such as shoring up the system of immigration judges.

I am right now on the train home from work quite late (22:40 local time). The reason I spent so long at work today is because we update after 8 o'clock. However, we found a critical bug in some open software that we use that we do not know why it triggers. We barely even know how it happens! Of course we haven't been able to solve it yet... After personally spending a lot of time with trying to fix the software I can say that I have gotten a much deeper appreciation of tools that are widely used and with an active community, where most bugs have already been solved.

Previously I had believed if you had a tool that solved the exact problems you have, then you should use it. I hope I'll resist such an urge in the future by having a little pragmatic angel on my shoulder reminding me of the danger of underused software. No software is perfect and even tough you might be able to fix software when it is open source, you paint yourself into a corner when you will necessarily have to fix it.

I felt my experience was matching some of the authors woes and I urge anyone that chooses technologies to think one step ahead and learn from our mistakes!
It’s actually about raising the price for advertisers:

Instead of only political books being able to advertise on that page, they’re bidding against beef jerky and cars and so on. This raises the price for the ad slot by creating (false) demand.

Without those out-of-place, targeted ads there would be less demand for every ad slot, and people could bid less for them.
Global warming increases the extremes of natural disasters, doing things like making deserts drier and creating larger storms.
Btw, if you have relational data and a few good people with strong computer science backgrounds rather than statisticians or mathematicians, have a look at Inductive Logic Programming. ILP is a set of machine learning techniques that learn logic programs from logic programs. The sample efficiency is on a class of its own and it generalises robustly from very little data[1].

I study ILP algorithms for my PhD. My research group has recently developed a new technique, Meta Interpretive Learning. Its canonical implementation is Metagol:

https://github.com/metagol/metagol

Please feel free to email me if you need more details. My address is in my profile.

___________________

[1] As a source of this claim I always quote this DeepMind paper where Metagol is compared to the authors' own system (which is itself an ILP system, but using a deep neural net):

https://arxiv.org/abs/1711.04574

ILP has a number of appealing features. First, the learned program is an
explicit symbolic structure that can be inspected, understood, and verified.
Second, ILP systems tend to be impressively data-efficient, able to generalise
well from a small handful of examples. The reason for this data-efficiency is
that ILP imposes a strong language bias on the sorts of programs that can be
learned: a short general program will be preferred to a program consisting of
a large number of special-case ad-hoc rules that happen to cover the
training data. Third, ILP systems support continual and transfer learning. The
program learned in one training session, being declarative and free of
side-effects, can be copied and pasted into the knowledge base before the next
training session, providing an economical way of storing learned knowledge.
A lot of people fast for 24 hours. I do it once a month. Where did you come up with the ridiculous assertion that nobody fasts for 24 hours?

I think you've really hit the nail on the head here. There's a built-in conflict of interest for the agent in every transaction.

They are rewarded by moving inventory, not serving their client.
The SSPLv2, currently under review by the OSI, does not have this property.
A couple of points of clarification:
- All legal brokerages (including online only brokerages like redfin) get equal access to MLS data and systems.
- NAR is hyper-conscious of antitrust issues. Data access is the crux of this, which is a major reason why Zillow and others get access to MLS data. NAR now promotes open data access
- NAR, a trade group, is a 110 year old non-profit, with 501c6 status. IANAL but I don't think it can have an ownership stake in a for-profit venture

Opendoor operates a brokerage in every market it is live in, so they're not competing with NAR in any real sense. They're a part of the RE community, with same rights as any other agents
My mother owns a residential real estate brokerage.
She's siting next to me and thinks the previous post has misguided advise. She has been a broker for over 30 years.

She recommends that you always ask your agent for a home inspector recommendation.

Police, Computing, and Nationalism – Kamau Bobb
> Let’s be honest - the main downside to automating social media is less audience engagement (likes, comments, etc).

This is the first point under the "There are some downsides to automating" section. I think that's the most important thing to read and realize whether you should even continue to read or not.

If social isn't a marketing strategy your startup is using at all, yeah, do this. It doesn't really matter too much then. But if you're actually trying to use social for any value, doing this is a terrible idea, in my opinion. The author/OP phrases it as this is all a good idea if social isn't your main marketing/acquisition channel, but I think this is still a bad idea if social is even your secondary or tertiary marketing/acquisition channel. Your engagement will tank on social, and people will be able to smell it a mile away if your social is worth engaging with or not. It's quite easy to tell if stuff like this is automated or not. I feel like the OP downplays that too much.

With that said, you do you, and decide what works best for your company. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ This is still a useful post if you put what I mentioned above aside, and decide to do this for your social strategy.
So the fact that, while the evidence and scientific consensus is overwhelmingly in favour of climate change causing issues for our planet, and let me be clear it's the mainstream scientific consensus, as we don't have a "this is how it's going to kill us" smoking gun, and we might somehow magically figure out how to save ourselves,
it's a non issue?

Do places like Flint Michigan not make you think that maybe your hope in the collective power of mankind is a little misplaced? It's well within our means to solve that particular problem, but no one can be bothered.

And Republicans look at the same situation, and see Democrats standing in the way of one of 2016's biggest campaign promises.

Didn't the shut down happen before the democrats had any power? I'm very confused. (Not in a sarcastic, caustic way. I'm actually genuinely confused why it is the democrats fault if the shut down occured before they had any power to stop anything.)

(EDIT: I guess my policies align with more democrat??? views but I'm very much a voter on policies not party.)
Awesome! I'll add it to my post! Thanks!
> I freaked and thought someone had hacked my corporate account

I don't understand.

I had a coworker that had similar reactions to things. "My stuff is missing" = immediately wants to call the authorities, without asking the roommate. Which had moved the stuff due to some petty squabble.

Similarly, this. You had default avatars. Default avatars got changed. Why would someone go to such trouble and make them immediately known? It is more likely to be a change by Slack themselves. Because they provide the default avatars.

Now, if you got custom avatars, and they all got replaced with some activist banner? Ok, hacking gets higher probability.

Not trying to criticize, I just want to understand the line of thought that leads to this.
