I'd like to understand where in my comment I stated that I "refused" to use better tools. I even stated that it's important for the team to discuss tooling as a project gains users.

Learning new tools is something I enjoy doing, but as my career continues my focus is changed. I haven't once walked into a project where I've felt the need to re-tool the build system because it wasn't living up to the task. And for your information, my company has a monorepo and we build using pants, which I'm starting to grow quite fond of.

I may have some bias towards learning new tools, likely why I like go so much. All the tools(now that we have modules and MVS), none of the hassle.
I dunno. Objectively speaking, cheese is pretty disgusting. I've eaten all kinds of things, including infamous items like balut, dog, stinky tofu, belacan, sheep brain, etc.

I'm American and grew up with cheese and love cheese, but after having eaten all of those other things, you realize that the disgust factor of, say, a colorful, pungent chunk of blue cheese is exceptionally high. The smell, the texture, the mouth feel, the method of preparation, the source.

If you're a cheese lover than you're pretty much already at the top of the mountain in terms of disgusting foods. Internalize that notion and most other foods from around the world are a breeze.

Tup (an alternative to make)
Holography actually sounds pretty promising but the issue is that most holography systems are phased (they trace the hologram with a single laser.) If a holography with hjgh energy could heat up the inside shape of a liquid in a beaker, it could turn it into a solid. The issue would be thermal diffusion but if a dense enough liquid were used, it could work!

What's an LEO? My first thought is Low Earth Orbit, but obviously that's not right. Googling "leo" and "leo stalker" doesn't bring up much apart from horoscopes.
>I wish Apple operated that way, as lowering Apple device price will very likely increase the absolute amount of dollars coming into their back acct.

I've always thought they should make a $10,000+ model. iPhones are essentially a status symbol unless you buy it for privacy purposes. There is a decent market who would pay a lot of money to have a iPhone that the plebes can't afford. Hell, even a lot of broke people would save up to buy one

It's like cars, if you just want a tool to get from point A to B you can buy one cheap. On the other hand you can also spend hundreds of thousands on luxury cars.

Make some limited edition iPhones every year and I'm sure there would be demand and an eventual collector market

If your needs are fairly static, then that's all the more reason to go on-prem if it's not too hard to set up initially. If you expect to need to upgrade systems on a regular basis because you need the extra CPU/disk/memory capacity, or switching infrastructure to support increased network utilization, that all gets very annoying very quickly.

Also, if you're sourcing components yourself or from a third party that isn't shipping specific configurations that have been tested by hundreds or even hundreds of thousands of times in other installations (i.e. not Dell), then be prepared for the possibility that you'll run into weird errors from the specific combination of mainboard, CPU, memory, NIC, RAID, etc used in a system that can be extremely painful and time consuming to to diagnose for RMA. I mean, if you're lucky, that will exhibit itself as an a crash that happens early and is easy to reproduce.

At this point, I see the premium you pay to large name providers like Dell/HP/etc as not just insurance that they will quickly accept and replace any possibly faulty hardware but also as the fee they charge for ironing out all the kinks of a platform so you don't have to worry about them for the most part.

It's totally possible to build your own hardware for cheap, but I no longer have the will to do so. To me, cloud services are like that, just to a lesser degree. I can handle the hardware locally (even if not custom built), but I'm finding less of a benefit to doing so as I get better at dynamically handling load (which has benefits in areas besides cost as well).
I think that government agencies should have everyones DNA.

Esp rape I'm really surprised police can't just look at the semen and look up who it belonged to. The government already knows everyone's photos and basic biometrics from drivers licenses and passports, surely this is just one more field in the database.

I feel that while valid for you, this sentiment is highly out of touch with the reality of the needs, resources, and capabilities of most people who need these kinds of systems.

Sounds like a good opportunity for some hacktivism to me. If you wanted to reduce chances of detection you could leave the web portal functional but attack the SMS infrastructure, causing certain texts to appear to have been rejected by carrier or similar. Or even distribute some malicious Android apps to the Arabic market requesting SMS permissions and silently intercepting these texts.
Friedman's response to this was that there is always cost to some policy. The cost of protectionism just happens to fall on the majority of people which have no particular voice.

Protecting the local steel industry might be good for the steel workers, but it raises prices for everyone else in the economy who consumes steel. Now certainly every time someone's job is disrupted by competition it is personally tragic, but why do the interests of one particular interest group weigh in larger than the well-being of everyone else?
OK; I'll bite. Those are creepy lyrics. They were creepy then and they are creepy now. Beasties probably meant it as a joke as they, to my knowledge, don't have a rep as being otherwise creepy but I'm going to go out on a wild limb and say that if you don't think people talking about drugging people so they have sex with you isn't creepy you're not a woman and/or you don't really have much empathy with them either.

This doesn't mean there isn't potentially funny jokes to be made here, as comedy can go everywhere. Some of Sarah Silverman's stuff is super-dark and still funny. But this idea that people invented the notion of "getting all upset over rapey stuff circa 2017" is ridiculous - it's just more that recently people started listening occasionally to victims.
No, it's just a lost cause. I've had people complain that their website looks crazy on one specific PC, and after tons of debugging found it's because somebody set their default font size to 200px.

Of course, the majority of websites apply their own font styling so this doesn't often come up anymore. But those settings are just death traps at this point. Ineffective in 90% of cases, and hazardous in the 10% where they do work.
There is a lot of space saving there. There are no "roads" for cars to have to drive on in the garage to get to the space individual spaces, no stairwells.

> I'm imagining having to wait in a huge line during rush hour because everyone wants to get their car out

That problem exists currently, except you wait an hour in line trying to exit the garage and nobody allowing you to back out because they want out first. I don't really see a solution to that particular problem if everybody is going to continue to have their own individual transports taking up space all day while not in use, and then everybody getting off work at the same time and rushing to get their cars at the same time, clogging the freeways at the same time. Well, except for things like Teslas, it would be nice to just summon your vehicle and have it unpark itself and drive to you to pick you up and give you an uber-like map and ETA on where it is. You could be doing more productive things while waiting for your car instead of standing (or sitting) in a line. 20 minutes before work ends, just summon your car so it's out front waiting, or circling the block or whatever.
Digital identity has three layers, and you can only protect one of them
This isn't reasonable.

"Loaded with my stuff" doesn't mean all of my favorite consumer electronics left in the open in the passenger's seat.

Having a process like the ECJ or EFTA (where governments breaking international agreements can go through a tribunal process) is one thing. Giving corporations the ability to sue governments for laws that are "discriminatory" is another thing entirely.

In Australia we have a concrete example of what negative effects such a court would have. When we introduced plain packaging laws, many tobacco companies have attempted to use international trade agreement arbitration systems to overturn the law. They first tried persuading several governments (Ukraine, Cuba, Honduras and the Dominican Republic) to use the WTO court system to start legal proceedings against Australia[1]. When it looked like that attempt would fail, they tried to use the international arbitration system that was part of a trade agreement from 1939 that Australia has with Hong Kong[2]. This also failed because of a jurisdictional issue.

However if there was a court that was specifically designed to allow companies to sue governments for discrimination, Phillip Morris and similar tobacco companies would've had jurisdiction for such a claim (and likely they would've won, because the plain packaging laws explicitly discriminate against tobacco companies and were seen as very extreme at the time).

In fact, the only reason why the TPP explicitly excludes tobacco is because Australia complained and gave this same example. The response was just to remove tobacco from the agreement, not redesign the international tribunal system they wanted (which misses the point of the complaint). Unfortunately we've changed government since then, so we've now signed the new version of the TPP.

HAVE YOU LOST YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY TO A BINARY OPTION SCAM?? DO YOU WANT TO RECOVER IT ALL? DO NOT GIVE UP, I HAVE GOOD NEWS FOR YOU!!!

First of all, in my opinion, Binary options trading is dead — though few will mourn it, but recovery is 100% possible and many fall for scams other than legit hackers.

Dearly beloved readers. We are gathered here today to celebrate the passing of binary options, the much-hated financial instrument.

Traded by risk-hungry speculators, binaries brought riches to the few and hefty losses to the many. They inhabited that tantalising grey area between financial investment and gambling, luring us in with promises of mega returns and pictures of people on Twitter with Lamborghinis. Instead, most were left red-faced with empty pockets.

Many hundreds of people around the world are targeted each day by disreputable fraudulent brokers. They deliberate target novice investors in contravention of the trading regulations. In many cases the investors who are targeted are completely unfamiliar with the markets and do not recognise that they are dealing with a bogus trading platform. The fraudulent brokers rely on this lack of knowledge to extract as much money as possible before closing down the account, cutting all contact and disappearing. The hapless investor then begins to suspect that they have been scammed. The targeted individuals have frequently lost considerable sums of money and their beginner status means that they have little idea of where to turn for help. Now, investors like you run to an unknown hacker who are secretly scammers to help recorver your fund of which you will be disappointed at the end.

We are a group of hackers called HackerOne. We consist of top skilled individual hackers coming together to render services to as many people out there on the common web, we all have operated in the dark web and have carried out classified job so we're bringing our skills here to the common web cause we know how difficult it is to access a service of a real hacker out here.

HackerOne has a track record of recovery in relation to financial fraud, with many strategies and tactics to compel the fraudulent broker to restore funds to their former clients, then extract your files and documents, Decrypt your Transaction Details and some Technical Hacking Procedures follows then you have your money recovered in Bitcoins.

You Can Also Contact us for other Technical Hacking Services you desire Such as:
* WEBSITE HACKING
* PHONE HACKING (giving you Unnoticeable access to everything Happening on the Target’s Phone)
* LOCATION TRACKING
* CLEARING OF CRIMINAL RECORDS

i'm going to quote Sam.

This doesn't sound like a business, sounds like a feature.
I'm not sold on Snopes, either. I don't know whether they have a bias, but I'm not convinced they're terribly accurate. For instance, they have a debunking of the myth that Marilyn Monroe use to have six toes. Part of their evidence was that if she did, and it were removed, then it would affect her balance and she would have to re-learn to walk normally, let alone gracefully.

My wife is a podiatrist. A significant part of her job is lopping off toes. I asked her if that was true, and she said that it absolutely was not. Her post-amputation patients are routinely perfectly fine and have no trouble walking. Even losing your big toe isn't a huge deal. Try it yourself: point it upward so that it doesn't touch the ground and walk around some. It's not hard at all.

I wrote them to share the information. I agreed that the myth was false, but that the bit about her being unable to walk afterward wasn't good supporting evidence. They replied with a snide comment basically accusing me of believing that Marilyn had six toes (which I absolutely don't believe, or more precisely, I could not care less about). Since then I've read a lot of their debunking skeptically. I mean, I think they mean well and I'm sure they're mostly accurate. However, I have first hand experience with them being unwilling to vet their own evidence. If they can play fast and loose with a goofy story about an extra toe, are they being rigorous elsewhere? I don't know.
Completely wrong analogy. Most genes sequences are completely identical between humans. The differences in genes for specific traits are marginal, percentage wise.
forget email. How about killing the spam phone calls.
That's completely untrue. In fact, it's the opposite -- the IRS objects if you pay yourself more than a reasonable salary.
So why not just submit your DNA using a proxy - - or use a false name and false contact details ? Same basic principle as using a burner phone . . . .
You do not have attorney client privilege if you broadcast your conversation knowingly to others. This can either end up as a waiver (client side) or an ethical violation (attorney side).

"you are not one of the good guys and you protect no one."

Huh? Interesting. I've been a member of the civil rights movements almost certainly longer than you (card carrying member). Pointing out obvious falsehoods does not make anyone a "bad guy" - and the idea that you are the only "good guy" out there is pathetic. Save the personal attacks.

Wait for a problem to manifest and then there will be huge backlash against fixing it because of how expensive the change will be because business models were build and scaled using the old rules.

> Why would anyone want to own their own self-driver?

Because they don't live in a large city for example. It's easier to cover a known average of rides with a million of users than when you have a town of 2000. You have a normal day where many projects walk to work, you get a local event where 200 people may turn to, you get forest fire where 2000 people need to get out.
