I don't think you understand the unconditional love that a dog has for its owner, and the commitment good people make when they choose to get one.

For me it is moral and ethical that I put the safety and well being of my dog above people. That doesn't mean that I don't care about others, and it doesn't mean that I would ignore trying to save them once my dog was safe, but it is what is right for me.
There's a Twilight Zone episode (Season 2, Episode 16) where a bank clerk can suddenly hear his every coworker's thoughts.

After he causes a $200k loan to get denied because he realizes the recipient would gamble it, he reads the mind of his old reliable co-worker Smithers, who is thinking about how he'll steal cash from the bank and escape to Bermuda.

The fact was that Smithers did have the thoughts, but they were fantasy, and not actual planning. By lowering the boom on him, the clerk gets himself fired.

In your instant case, maybe you were meant to find these documents. Maybe your employer got the quote but will end up deciding that the intangibles from outsourcing don't make up for the reduced expenses.

I wouldn't advise anything unethical, but the mindreader in the episode ends up blackmailing his adulterous boss, getting promoted, and getting the girl he was always too shy to get. Perhaps the question you should be asking is "how can I selectively divulge this information to get what I want?"

When I first studied this book, and other related bits of Engineering Maths, I remember being completely marveled by Laplace and Z transform methods. I could learn to manipulate them and use them to solve equations, it felt like black magic for a very long time even having working through all of the basic derivations.

A book that did a lot to bring my understanding around was Complex Variables and the Laplace Transform for Engineers by LePage. It's more-or-less a pretty thorough introduction to complex analysis, but developed in the context of linear systems and transfer functions. I would absolutely recommend it as a sequel to this book.
Not really. It's hard to even discuss or debate with people who have a strong opinion on things. Nobody wants to be told they're wrong, or proven wrong.

But onlookers who "are on the fence" on issues such as these, might get a seed planted in their mind. And hopefully seeing "fragile males" outraged on youtube does that as well.

In this case most of the 'locals' are foreign men brought to Dubai to work on the sites. They live in horrible accommodation further out into the desert and probably wouldn't even be let into the malls if they tried.
Since we have so many examples of age and usage...

I'm 40. For me it depends on who is sending the invite. My wedding invites about 4 years ago were via email with a bespoke RSVP website (my first foray into react.js). 150 out of 180 people showed up from around the country of ages ranging from the upper-teens through the upper eighties. We shared the photos via Facebook (with links to S3 for originals if anyone wanted them)

My older friends and family (50+) send evites if they're savvy or call.

Most of my friends and family who were born / raised / never-left Chicago aren't even on Facebook unless they run a business that does well to promote there (tattoo artists, for example). For them, it's text, pre-announced phone calls, and drop-ins. The rest are like...

My friends and family from NYC, Austin, Seattle, and elsewhere who are within a decade of my age generally use facebook for larger events and text for smaller ones. Sometimes email. Sometimes a whatsapp group. It changes often.

This past NYE was at a bar in Indianapolis and we were invited by way of an SMS with a link to the Facebook RSVP (and ticket purchase) page. It was a 90s night, so I suppose that places the age group.

The people I know under 30 or so stopped inviting me to things after I got married. Their loss; we still like to party.

So... many many ways. I don't love facebook, but if everyone's using it, I suppose I can live with it.
The only one of those who had serious doubts was Boris Johnson, and he built a career on writing lies about the EU when he was a journalist. JRM has always been a hard leaver. Farage has always been a hard leaver. Arron Banks has always been a hard leaver. I could go on listing 90% of the Leave campaign from a wealthy background, but I have stuff to do.

The Tories, who are the natural party of the elite, have been deeply split on this subject since the 70s. That’s why we’re even having this argument in the first place.

That just means your debugger has a prohibitively high cost to use. If it takes more than 2 clicks to launch a full debugging session of your project, you need a new IDE.

Tesla to Cut Full-Time Employee Headcount by About 7%
I read a different article (also on HN) that people will buy real estate without actually living in it. It's probably a smart investment if you combine it with your comment - if it's planned for a city to be "next in line" then the price of those apartments will rise after a couple years of being empty.

I can't find the link right now, but I think the right idea here is that the value of infrastructure is in its use. The more that the people building stuff are insulated from the needs of users, the less you should expect it to be useful.

Large corporations face exactly the same problem.

> ...because we already have defense and coping mechanisms, we got the illusion of control.

Agreed, and just wanted to add that it's surprising just how many adults don't seem have these mechanisms. Perhaps a form of learned helplessness by being subjected to this kind of thing from childhood?
Maybe there was an internal e-mail discussion where they discussed or joked about doing something reprehensible, which they didn't end up doing.

Any project where you detect a vulnerable person so you can protect them, or detect an evildoer so you can block them, you can joke about the fact there's money to be made by doing the reverse. And those jokes would look pretty bad taken out of context, even though you were never seriously considering them.
created? well, yeah, oxytocin is a hell of a drug.

sure, you can shut it down, process it, ride it out, walk it off and whatever, but if there was attachment, memories, associations with places, events, other persons, or even with music, activities, etc. it can and usually will get emotional.

Some people are quick to get over it, some will die - literally - grieving.

Producers are dependent on distributors, and distributors are dependent on producers.

Producers thought they'd improve their position by going into distribution. Distributors (Netflix) thought they'd better themselves by going into production.

Perhaps they would have been better off focusing on either producing or distributing. A distributor improves their bargaining position by growing the audience they can reach. Producer, by making better films that more people want to see.
Fork is a great Git GUI with a very "Mac-like" interface (also available for Windows): https://git-fork.com

I use it for some git operations when I would be slower on the command line, and I can highly recommend it. The UI is very polished! Bonus: I can open it from the command line with a simple "fork" command.

Android is not having that much luck on anything besides phones, tablets are being slowly eaten by detachable laptops with good old Windows on them.

At least that is what I observe from the local dealers around my me.

So from that point of view Win32/UWP is also a giant app library.
Ok, I don't like these bastards who attacked Cole, but how can they be terrorist? They attacked a military target. Is it because they masqueraded as civilians - didn't follow the laws of war?
As I said, that's poor management. You will loose to an enemy who does it properly. The US was once envied for their officers training and education.

Edited to add: Also, what will people do? They will drink less than they should to avoid the humiliation. On top of a tired crew you will get also a dehydrated one. This is a surefire recipe for bad things to happen.
That's a cute stunt. Now maybe if Google had done this before negotiations over the Copyright Directive had reached such a late stage, and maybe if they had actually shown it to searchers rather than just sending screenshots to the tech press, they could have mobilized enough opposition to make a difference. As it is, it's too little too late.

> Social media are for fun, distraction and procrastination. Social media are MMORPGs

To be fair, you get out of social media whatever you want. If you want to use it for fun, distraction, and procrastination, you can. If you want to use email for those things, you can. I have friends who do.

Personally, I'm fine with social media being websites/apps and mail being mail. Nobody emails me cookie recipes, 'interesting' GIFs and links to funny videos, discounts on snake-oil medication, surveys to find out what Disney Princess I am, inflammatory political posts, or megabytes upon megabytes worth of photos that I don't really want to delete because I know I'll need to come back to them again at some point.

More importantly, everybody being away from email means I'm far less likely to be spammed. What I get in my inbox is what I want to see, nothing more, nothing less, and with no bloat. I'm happy with the status quo, much more than when people actually emailed me and I had to swift through messages to find out what to keep or delete — in the days before Gmail, might I add.

Email's my sanctuary, I'll not have that taken away. :-)

The Syrian people were armed, that turned out well.

Your AR-15 isn't much use against the Airforce's F15. The world has moved on since 1776, local militias can't cope against national military - even one as an expedition force, and in the U.S specifically entire countries can't cope against the U.S. military as an expidition force, what hope does a local militia have against a U.S. based military?

The most you'll get is a guerilla war and terrorism, and that always works out well./sarcasm

It's highly questionable that you can produce _great_ shows based on data.

You can't just go to a producer and tell them, make something about Japan, because it's trending, and use these two actors because they're the most popular at the moment. Creatives don't work based on directives.
He does discuss that in another post: https://prisonuk.blogspot.com/2015/02/sex-in-prison-inside-s...

He says rape does happen, but it's the exception rather than the rule. Obviously he's discussing the UK; maybe things are different in the US.
Sure, that's a financial/legal thing though, which is fairly detached from human emotion.

The plan to arrest El Chapo
I'm not sure I agree - I think workforce is the ultimate differentiator in any case, and the tech companies - over the last decade at least - managed to be seen as the employers of choice. That could really create a strategic advantage, though perhaps not a long-lasting one.
I wholeheartedly agree with you. Maintaining some artificial hierarchy of grief (akin to 'but I loved mom more than you') is toxic at best.

I lost my dad at age 20 and in the months after was mostly surrounded by friends that had no idea what losing a parent felt like. In their attempts, I never felt I had the right to discredit their grief as being lesser, be it for an ex-girlfriend or a dog they grew up with.
Absolutely, this is organized crime. The astroturfers are also out in force too with their distracting comments blaming other companies.

> I'd much rather face the problem of building empty homes (which is not really a problem?)

Not in and of itself, but if you look at historical parallels, like the development of Brasilia, the consequences were devastating: over a decade of hyperinflation and a series of failed currencies until one stuck.

It seems like China is building hundreds of Brasilias all at once.

Maybe Beijing has figured this out, and this will lift more people out of poverty than ever in history? Or maybe this isn't different and the reckoning on the back end will be unimaginable?

Never in history has local economic policy affected so many, and it happens to be in a setting where you aren't really allowed to debate economic or government policies.

Maybe it will all work out but it's a scary ride.
Google tests stripped-down news SERPs
The marginal cost for FB of providing games to a kid like in the example is zero. I'm surprised their support staff didn't just fold when there was a complaint. If they did this might not have ended up in the press.

I can understand if a firm sends out some product that depreciates like a lollipop, they might suffer an actual loss if the purchase was done by a kid.

But in this case it's hard to see anything reasonable about how FB has behaved. Clearly the kids don't want to be spending hundreds of their parents' dollars.

Let me quote Leonard Cohen (why not): Everybody got this broken feeling / Like their father or their dog just died

The strength of the feeling might be different and vary depending on all sorts of things, but it's a similar feeling, it is claimed.

Morals only come into it when we have to choose which one dies: not relevant here.
I deleted facebook years ago and I haven't missed it since and I've never felt like I'm missing out on anything.

I don't consider the hundreds of people that I had on facebook that I only met a couple of times a year to be my friends anymore. They're just
acquaints at this point and I really have no interest in them or their lives or catching up with them just because we used to work together or used to hang out through mutual friends years ago.

We occasionally run into each other, we shake hands and exchange a few words and then part ways. However I know that I could pick up my phone right now and call a lot of them and they will be up for a coffee or lunch in the next few days but it's not like I would invite them over to my place for drinks, dinner etc for my birthday or some other celebratory reason.

I have a handful of people in my life that I would consider being my friends that I keep in touch with on a regular basis and I don't need facebook or any social media to maintain a meaningful relationship with them.
In the interest of open discussion; what heuristic do you use to value "life"?

I use a combination of innocence, vulnerability, consciousness and intelligence.

E.g a baby life is worth more than a 40 year old's.

There's no playbook for these values, you have to decide for yourself.
They were part of a group that is classified as a terrorist organization.
Not the downvoter, but my thoughts are:

It doesn't really matter whether the bond is going to the company or a third party. The point is you're out of pocket for a large amount of money before starting to work, ostensibly to earn money.

Most people simply aren't in a position to put down that kind of deposit in order to start earning, especially not for a low-paying contract-based "gig" job like this kind of pet-walking.

City centre York UK (the original and best York!) on 4G mid-morning, a quick single unscientific test now shows 25Mbps down, 30Mbps up, 32ms latency, which seems toward the higher end of normal throughput (the best I've seen a test show around here I think was a little over 40Mbps, 15 to 25 is what I'd usually expect) and normal for latency (that is almost always low-to-mid-30s around here).

For what most people use their phones for extra bandwidth isn't going to make much difference, which is good because the individual is unlikely to see it: more devices are coming online as the bandwidth improves, and the demands you have increase too (usually outside your control: sites getting heaver, using higher quality video, ...).

The latency improvements will be more noticeable I expect, especially in busy cells because latency-centric problems tend to balloon much more than bandwidth-centric ones as the air gets more crowded. As the available throughput nears saturation both bandwidth and latency suffer but for most uses the latency is going to be what causes most problems because for many applications you can wait for the bulk of a block of data to come in as long as the first bits of it arrive in a short amount of time (in a web browsing example you can start reading before the rest arrives, unless the page is badly designed and doesn't render until everything is transferred).

Away from "normal" Joe Public mobile network use (web pages, games, some video, maybe maps) the next big thing is workers using VPNs, and again here latency improvements are going to be more beneficial to most people than a bandwidth boost.

Despite this the bandwidth improvement is the fact most shouted about. The reason for this is that it is a number people understand (or at least think they understand) because it is how these things are usually touted. It is not dissimilar to the back end of the GHz wars with CPU releases: at a certain point the extra clock ticks were meaningless because of many other factors, but chips kept getting sold that way because that is what the buying public "understood" and marketing didn't want to bamboozle them with other details (cache design factors, multi-core performance, ...).
Actually it might. It pushes the years 2000 to 2019 via the History API into the browser history.

I can understand why you are offended; from your perspective it seems like people are equating your mother to their dogs. But this isn't how attachment works. It's not about who we are connected to, but about how much we are connected to them. We suffer when we lose what we are attached to. Whether that is a family member such as your mother or a family pet such as their dog. It's not about whether the woman who was your mother or the animal who was their dog are equal or greater/less than each other at all. It's about the attachments we have to them and how badly we desire for them to still exist in our lives. That's where the common element of suffering exists between losing a mother and a dog.

Our attachments are defined within us, and not by what we are attached to.

You already maintain a hierarchy of grief. If you found that a colleague was inconsolable because they'd snapped a nail, you'd judge them and respond differently than if their parent was dead. It's also not just based on how "normal" the grief is, there are plenty of very religious people who would be very upset at a relative being gay.

The question "do we want to maintain a hierarchy of grief" is absurd, there is not one human alive who doesn't already do that on some level.
