This is how I roll. I'm not sure what benefit I'd get by integrating my personal library with the cloud, but I find accessing my library from multiple devices to be pretty easy by simply duplicating songs onto those devices. Nowadays most of my devices are big enough to accommodate the whole library. Sharing music with friends is also simple because pretty much everyone's phone can play an mp3 file out of the box these days. This approach might have been cumbersome when I was younger and I added to my collection more frequently, but I had fewer devices then. Not only does this strategy insulate me from the whims or obsolescence of some third party, but the defacto back up preserves my collection in the face of device loss/failure as well.

My understanding is that that warning applied to the card itself, not to the number. That is, the bearer of that card has no provable relationship to the social security number on the card as it contains no attestable information (like a photograph or general description) so the card cannot be used for identification.

The number itself is of course used for identification from the beginning as a unique identifier for your "account" in the social security administration.
I like the diagrams, as many explanations often skip the staging portion of the whole git process. I use that so much that it baffles me that most people skip it. Then again, I typically don't like having tons of "WIP" commits so I stage a lot and if I need to switch to another branch I'll commit a WIP that I quickly `rebase -i` to get back to a clean status.

As for the teaching part, I have found the best results by having you and the learner actually "working" on the project at the same time on your own machines both pushing to a centralized server. It becomes too easy to go over all the commands and feel like you understand it. Most of the scary parts of git are used when its multiple developers on the same project. And oddly enough, having the learner do both Developer A and Developer B's tasks don't seem to work as well as having the learner just do Developer B while I do Developer A. Trying to explain to someone when to use merge, when to rebase, and when to use cherry-picking to get the code I just pushed into their current working branch can be done so much easier when its hands on AND knowing exactly who is doing what steps.

## source who voted for brexit

Repudiation of the story that the leavers feel economically left behind [1]. Some Leavers certainly felt economically left behind, but many did not. Research has since shown that three groups were key to the Brexit vote:

- Left Behind Leavers, who were working-class, struggling financially, almost never had a degree, were in their forties or fifties and most of whom did not identify with the main parties or supported the UK Independence Party.

- Blue-Collar Pensioners, who were also working-class but retired, and so less likely to be struggling financially and tended to vote for Conservative.

- Affluent Eurosceptics, who were much less likely to identify as working-class, more affluent, more likely to have a degree and tended to vote Conservative.

While we hear much about the first two groups we have heard very little about the third, and only the first would support the predominant narrative to some degree.

Yeah, it started as a great alternative to hotels, both on price and the sort of hospitality offered. I think the comparison is now much closer, Airbnb has lost a lot of that edge.

At the same price point I would take a hotel, they have employees whose job is to help you and instead of the "hey we're sharing a space and growing together and learning about each other" horseshit Airbnb is trying to peddle.

Ad revenue is growing because the economy ( both in the US and europe ) has been improving, Trump news boost and because the NYTimes/et al has strong-armed tech companies into giving them preferential treatment. The NYTimes and other large news companies have been taking market share from smaller companies like Vox as they push tech companies to drive traffic to themselves over smaller players. Whether it is a temporary bump or has legs, we will have to see. Not sure what GDPR has to do with anything since the ad revenues had been growing before GDPR.

Oh they definitely do this. At least the traditional loyalty-card/coupon-enabled physical targeted ads do add enough random stuff that you find it non-creepy, after they had a few high-profile cases back in the day where they started targeted advertising of baby products to teenage girls, and parents got mad. The kicker was they turned out to frequently be real cases of teen pregnancies.
Few big tech companies pay for training data - it usually arises organically out of usage data from their products. You need to collect this anyway for product function / business metrics / abuse prevention, and build the cleaning & processing pipelines. So the only marginal cost of feeding more training data into your machine learning pipeline is the computational cost of training it, which is usually tiny fractions of a penny per sample.

I am pro using heroin medically (and all/any drugs where trials have shown them to be effective). For heroin, it's a powerful drug that can be used in palliative care situations where nothing else will do. When it's administered in a controlled setting by a medical professional. The risk and danger of addiction is very low in these circumstances.

Overly cautious drug policy (such as an outright ban on heroin (or any drug)) can deny powerful remedies to those who can benefit from them.

In languages with termination analysis and dependent types, the source code _is_ the proof and it's verified by the compiler. Basically when such a program compiles, it's proved to be correct according to the specification.

Of course this still leaves space for bugs outside the program itself which still may influence it, such as bugs in the operating system or firmware or the like. Which may be prevented by having a formally verified OS too :)

But even in such a case, there might still be hardware errors (electrical noise, for example). Which is why for example spacecrafts or critical industry machinery double or triple their whole architectures. In such case the formally verified software runs on eg. three instances simulatenously and these instances cross-check each other's results all the time. When a hardware fault occurs (a bit randomly flipped in memory for example), they find out they're not matching and re-calculate.

That's as close as you can get to zero bugs.

I understand with what you’re saying and agree that this can be useful, but it also amounts to a lawless “do whatever we want” attitude amongst highly privileged people that may run counter to democratic concerns.

>An interesting thing I found is a level of detail (LOD) technique called ‘fizzle’ or ‘checkerboard’. It’s a common way to fade objects in and out at a distance, either to later replace it with a lower quality mesh or to completely make it disappear.

As a frequent video game player, I find this LOD switch technique to be atrocious. It's ugly as all hell and will ruin any immersion. Things don't checkerboard like that in reality, and it makes modern games look uglier. One of it's biggest problems is that it is often used to cull things too close to the camera, so instead of something softly fading out as the camera passes through it, it turns into Swiss cheese right in your face.

Marriott is shit. Stayed three weeks in Cancun at a four and five start Marriott. No air conditioning. In the middle of the fucking summer. The lowest it'd go was 73. The first week, they were doing construction so there was a jackhammer literally outside our door every morning until we complained enough for them to move us to one of many empty rooms. Unfortunately, it was already booked so I couldn't get a refund or chargeback despite proof of all this. Marriott is just utter garbage and should be avoided at all costs.

Ziggo (Liberty Global) gives a good bang for the buck if you look at the speed you get versus what you pay for. They give either native IPv4 or native IPv6, not dual stack. They're a big multinational with a rather terrible helpdesk (compared to Xs4all; not compared to KPN I guess). I mean you could even phone Xs4all's helpdesk and ask them basically any technical question you had. Ziggo don't give Usenet access anymore. They don't give shell access. However you can put their modem in bridge mode, and you don't have to play around with VLANs because DVB-C gives you the TV signal.
The whole problem is that the industry views this as a cost center.

It is something doctors don't want, nobody wants to spend money on it, and the EMR vendors know this, so they try to use legal mechanisms (ACA) to require doctors to buy their stuff, vs. competing in an free/open market such as tools like Gmail, Twitter, etc.

Look at incentives. This whole thing is so obvious. Nobody in health wants better records because the current industry provides no economic incentives whatsoever for the industry to keep them.
Regardless of the AirB&B fine print, I think this would likely run afoul to local and state laws against unauthorized wiretapping.

When crimes are perpetrated by extremely large numbers of people, you can't punish them all. You have to limit yourself to punishing the organizers, and forgive the rest. In this case, the organizers are the leaders in the fossil fuel industry.

And it's not true that consumers are equally guilty as fossil fuel executives. More than 70% of global emissions come from just 100 companies: https://www.theguardian.com/sustainable-business/2017/jul/10... The blame should be concentrated at the top, even if we are all somewhat guilty.
I understand having to select a party for primaries & the pros & cons of it. That is a different & even more complicated issue.

I just don't understand why which party I voted for needs to be "public" record. I don't believe that companies & the general public need to know. I've used campaign software that shows how incredibly easy it is to select a list of people & market towards those who voted one way or another in the primary.
You can use the same reasoning to justify a large variety of predatory tactics, and scams.

"Buyer beware" doesn't absolve a practice of being, at the very least, scummy.
Heh - i actually live near there! The video gambling definitely has fizzed out rather than exploding. The beginnings of the charts & data show exponential growth at first but things got linear. When this first happened of course I would throw in a few bucks when out for a beer with my pops or whatever. Occasionally you double your 20 bucks or whatever and can buy the next round of drinks. However, it's not too popular and most people arent really interested.

Legalized sports betting in real time however would be different. I'm not a big gambler but love sports and analytics. Could definitely see myself throwing some money here or there. It's pretty easy to bet against the bulls / white sox / blackhawks right now, they all suck ass.

FWIW, “the browser” already type checks Javascript.

Where a compiler would throw an exception, the Javascript runtime creates/destroys optimizations.

For example, ‘1 + a’ type checks ‘a’ and optimizes the assembly if ‘a’ is a number. As soon as there is some other type represented by ‘a’ the runtime deoptimizes that method.

If the runtime could just throw an exception in those situations and keep the typed optimization a lot of our Javascript might run faster.
