I was in the same place sometime ago. There are still days,like today, when I regress but slowly taking that into stride.

Here's what has helped:

1. Cut down on the habit of "knowing" more. Nothing happens if I skip news and tech for a day or two.
2. Meditation - I started with Calm app but then moved to Insight timer and now I do it with music alone.
3. Add a hobby in life. I took up reading big time. Mainly some light fiction and YA books.
Have you considered that a negative comment about a group can be true, without any bias towards the group?
What is a sales estimate? Are you talking about production targets from the shareholder letter?
Putting a lot of shit around the foot of a plant can make it grow faster and better. Not so much humans. I understand your point but your argument is terrible.
Yeah, but now the drones will start breeding out of control, and you'll have the same problem all over again.
Blind Man’s Bluff is pretty awesome, but focuses on submarines and naval espionage
How does this work with allowed website iframes?
I can't wait for 2020.
> Because the vast majority of users love their animated GIFs.

Then they can choose to play it. Just like you can opt to allow pop-ups in your browser. Nobody is asking for a one-size-fit-all solution - all they are asking for is choice and control over their browser.
What you learn from sequencing your microbiome 600 times
Consul is just Service discovery. Istio adds a service mesh in which you can introduce all sorts of routing like 1% traffic to a canary, dark deploy on another route, etc. also mTLS authentication and authorization. I think consul came out with Consul Connect to compete but I’m not too familiar with that. Also Istio just runs in your cluster effortlessly instead of needing some VMs for Consul.
This largely seems like the fluff from a bored internet.
I can get the first task, but what is your reasoning behind the two other tasks?
Don't these private carriers already share address databases, or outsource address lookup to third parties with incentives to find the right location for any valid address? Adding a level of indirection to that existing system wouldn't take very much effort.

Or do you have one address for UPS deliveries and a different address for FedEx deliveries? (Substitute local carrier names as appropriate.) While that's more work—and pointlessly complex IMHO—you'd just need to set up one ID per carrier and give the correct ID, as opposed to the carrier-specific address.
A Technological Piece of the Climate Change Puzzle
And this is a huge part of why we have a measles outbreak happening just a few miles from where I live. Fortunately everyone in my household is vaccinated, but it’s not even supposed to be a thing in the US anymore! And yet it is, not in small part because of widely shared anti-vaccination articles on social media.
>> there are more than enough that detect any form of ad blocking or script blocking

There are also more than enough that I don't have to use ones that refuse to accept my preferences.
From what I remember it was most probably carfentanil.
How did your doctor had you fixed in 45 minutes?
No it wouldn't!

You could preferentially store the regenerative braking energy into the ultracapacitors (and discharge from them from a stop, instead of the main battery). You're not talking a huge number of them (order of magnitude of ~100) for a cycle brake cycle at Model 3 mass, highway speed, and normal braking.
Greenhouses are controlled environments where everything else is abundant too. In more natural environments, plants are limited by availability of water and nutrients in the soil.

On top of that, plant growth can be reduced by heat stress. They also have to contend with insects and disease, and may not have good defenses when climate change has brought invasive organisms to the area.
Why can't liquidity of existing stocks be provided without becoming public? Seems like easier task than going public and coming under myriad of different rules.
Whats the crash testing like on that Lada 4x4?
...and my confidence that Slack will continue to be useful and a good experience for me just plummeted.

Does this mean something is wrong with our market, or just my expectations?
>What are the best replacements (products, services, or just best practices) for Facebook's core utility of sharing photos and updates, and generally staying in touch with family and friends in your network?

That we all think of those as Facebook's "core utility" says a lot.

I once spoke with a Facebook engineer and learned their primary development area was supporting how certain business owners in certain developing countries use Facebook: as their primary means of being paid for their services. In some places it's common to order delivery via Messenger, then as proof that payment is on the way take a picture of the money transfer receipt and share that picture via Messenger too.

That this use of Facebook had never crossed my mind served as a big reminder to me that as an a) first-worlder and b) affluent techie I probably can't fathom 90% of the use that the rest of the world gets out of services that seem to me to be worthless.

Yes MSFT are cancer on a telemetry perspective. I signed up for “new outlook web access” today and it was hammering the shit out of their servers with telemetry hits. Ublock Origin turned these into console errors.

They are simply the worst.
Why did they redesign it at all? The old logo references the character that indicates channel names. Perfectly reasonable for a chat app. Now that they are going public maybe they should change the logo to “$” so people know the company has changed focus.

Also it’s frustrating they call the new logo an “octothorpe” because that’s a name of the “#” character they used for their previous logo.

Apparently this was designed by the same people who came up with the uninspired “H” logo for Hillary in 2016. My initial reaction to that was “a shift to the right”. Which may actually align with Clinton’s moderate political views but was probably the wrong message.
By mass, trees contain more oxygen than carbon. So do humans. Water is 89% oxygen by mass. Cellulose is 49% oxygen by mass. Dry wood contains a bit more carbon than oxygen, but living trees do not.

> The site points out some compelling reasons why any government code produced with public money should be free software.

Yeah, but what compelling reasons are there for the government to write any software at all?

Another way to solve the problem - eliminate government spending. I'd rather have my money back than reference government-developed source code.
I'm not sure that's a good argument. It's entirely plausible that plants need CO2 to exist at a particular partial pressure to absorb it. In the same way people wouldn't drag the O2 level in a sealed room down to 0%.
In a bit of fairness to the NSA (never thought I'd say that), they did give us SELinux, which I think was overall a net good.
I have a quibble with the following statement:

"It's as if we had learned nothing from the mistakes of the past 20 years."

My quibble is it's as if we had learned nothing from the mistakes of the last 40 years, not 20. The problem I see with the whole discussion/argument around systemd is it ignores there's two philosophies in computer science, which for convenience sake I'll call the Unix way and the Windows way. I believe the reason so many people, especially us old-timers, are railing against systemd is because it adheres to the Windows way. The problem is there's a lot of Windows people who've now migrated over to Linux and so they love it. It's like Linux has been gentrified and we've all been kicked out of our homes. At least that's why I think people are so intensely emotional about this subject.

As for me, I've decided the hell with it. If Linux now wants to follow the Windows way and adopt systemd - there's nothing I can do about it. It's not even really my fight. I had nothing to do with the creation or maintenance of Linux, GNU, the init tools, etc. Though it's all free I've decided to vote with my time and usage - and that now goes to BSD. So long as BSD follows the Unix way I'll stick with it. Maybe you'll join me, maybe you won't. You use what you want to use and I'll use what I want to use. Peace.

Are there any available for Ruby or Linux?
Thank you, Marie!

We landed on Elpha by riffing on the word alpha and the notion that we want to create a place where women come first. We combined alpha with the French word for she (“Elle”) to create ellepha and then shortened it to elpha from there.
Option grants - they are not the same for employees and contractors. And there are huge differences between them for the receivers [0]

Healthcare - companies have different options than individuals. Different countries offer different quality. And many will opt-out from expensive plans that have great coverage in favor of extra cash [1]. However, when things happen, they don't have the proper coverage and end up in situations that are very hard to recover from (we been there).

Time off - this is again not the same thing. PTO has many important protections for employees and has built in rules in the law. Contractor has no right for any of it.

and etc.

Your suggestions are generally valid, but we prefer our employees to be at equal standing with the same rights and same benefits.

Systemic use is not a counterargument when there may be a systemic problem. Half of humanity uses corrective eyewear (closer to 90% above the age of 70), everyone should be vaccinated, and a huge chunk of the population needs iron supplements. The brain is composed of dozens of modules that are each as complex as entire other organ systems in your body. The probability of something not going wrong in that mess is vanishingly small, same as you'd expect in any other codebase with such a horrifying level of complexity and tech debt. To be completely honest, I wouldn't be surprised if the true positive rate for psychiatric medication, the rate at which a real neurochemical issue could be root-caused and addressed for real human benefit satisfying the most idealistic and loftily philosophical of human values, is substantially higher than 17%.
I'm not very familiar with their theory and technology

It's strange that you're not familiar with an actively developing, widely known, 15 years old open source project with similar goals as your initiative. It's like if you wanted to create an OS similar to Linux, without bothering to learn much about Linux first. As an example of what I mean, you mention things like "brain is digital" and "combinatorial space", which seem to be rediscovery of Numenta's SDR. Also, I don't think your way of processing an object in different contexts is fundamentally different from Numenta's, based on what you described, however it's hard to say without looking at your code.

To avoid reinventing the bicycle, I suggest you engage in some discussion on Numenta's forums, or at least read their papers. It's quite possible that you might discover something they missed. But, if you don't know what they did, you will end up discovering a lot of what they haven't missed.
> but there is no right to control images of your body. That would be tantamount to claiming the right to control the contents of others' minds.

There is, it's called copyright. At least where I live you own copyright on the image of your face and body. That gives you the right to tell others how and when that image may be used.

And you would certainly have the right to veto certain uses of your image.

Rights conflict and some rights can trump others. For example, the police may place the rights of others not being hurt over your right to bear arms in the US. If you spoke loud enough with a megaphone into someone's ear, their right to not be bodily harmed would conflict with your right to free speech and likely would trump it.

Another example would be religious rights; they frequently trump other rights and laws and some laws and rights trump your freedom of religion.

Rights aren't equal and black and white, they have an order of importance that depends on the situation and their importance to society.
Perhaps he wanted to die, but wished for something more dramatic than shooting himself in the head. It is good that he didn’t kill anyone else.
Sure, if you’re sad because you’re starving in a drainage ditch, or your best friend just died, that doesn’t mean you’re depressed. But if your basic needs as an organism are met, you have great latitude to occupy your brain with thoughts that make you happy or sad.
I learned Go first and then went to Rust, which was convenient because it appears sushi went the same route.
The drones are used to carry and drop rat poison over the island, which is something a few steps behind of drones those equipped with laser gun to hunt and terminate rats just like the movie Oblivion (2013).
US law has a provision for low speed cars with a 25mph top speed. Typically these cars are not allowed on roads with a speed limit > 35mph. There are less safety requirements which is why these cars can be cheaper.
Yeah, I have a suspicious streak (paranoid? I don't know, maybe?), too. That comes with a deep fear of being taken advantage of, a fear of being a sucker, a mark, a rube, whatever. I am mistrustful of other people's motives, and assume the worst.

What has counteracted that tendency, which I think may be partly innate, partly learned (a paranoia spectrum?), is two things: 1) the only reason anybody ever wants to tear me down is to build themselves up, and having been guilty of that myself, I can have compassion for them, and 2) I have found that I can put faith in the universe that, so long as I do the right thing, I go to bed with a sense of dignity and am not so afraid. That's not to say I don't have boundaries. I can have boundaries without taking it personally when others cross them, though.
That looks like a scripting bug.

What it's doing is that it's intercepting your click on the video, preventing the default click action (of pausing the video), and then manually pausing the video. I would assume this is for cross-compatibility: Some browsers would pause the video, and others wouldn't, so the script interception makes it so the video correctly pauses on all browsers.

On my computer, it plays/pauses without issue.

Most likely, you've configured your computer to disallow the prevention of the default click action, so when you click, it toggles the play/pause state to pause, and then the script toggles it again, back to play.

As for Chrome's tab area, the little speaker icon no longer mutes sites as of Chrome 70 or so. You now have to right-click on the tab and click "Mute Site", which works normally for this video.
> This is because of animated GIFs. If you disable muted video people will just use GIFs instead and it'll chew up way more of your bandwidth than a video file would.

I wish there was an option in browsers to prevent the downloading of GIFs (especially on mobile). It used to be useful for artwork, but PNG has taken that over.
Funny, I'm actually French! Nice name anyway :)
Sure, you're trusting their code is bug free. That's just (lack of) faith on your end. The fact that you decide not to trust their competence certainly does not logically imply that they are invading your privacy. It just means you need to trust their competence or take your business to some company you deem more competent. (Though exactly which company would be more competent in infosec is quite the question, but I digress.)

When you have over a certain number of shareholders you have to follow strict reporting rules, giving your company all of the costs of being public but none of the benefits.

A friend of mine just bought a new Leaf in Massachusetts for a net $15,000 (includes $7500 federal tax credit and $2500 state credit). The car goes 150 miles, and doesn't look like a leaf, more like a regular sporty subcompact. I'd say it's a much better investment than one of these Pickman vehicles. Of course, there would also be a tax credit for the Pickman, though I'm not sure how much.
Pretty much the entire Tesla experience is a bunch of weird idiosyncracies. Not necessarily all of it is bad, even in some academic UX sense or whatever.

But there's definitely a strong correspondence between idiosyncratic experiences, personalities that find such experiences appealing, and personalities that actually buy expensive luxury goods. Most armchair QBs miss that last part.

Someone like you, who would scoff at this weird behaviour, will never buy a Tesla. So why do they care what you think? Some people, the people who actually buy Teslas, talk enthusiastically about the weird behaviours on the Internet, i.e. the most priceless form of viral marketing.

I'm not saying you're right or wrong. That's beside the point. I'm saying you could be right, but you don't really have a solution for, "Idiosyncratic stuff is what payers talk about."
I think “Pythonic” is up there as one of my least-favorite terms of all time. I think, 99% of the time, when people say “Pythonic” they should really just be quoting one of the lines from PEP 20.
Well, those say nothing about the actual quality of "real" and "really italian" extravirgin olive oil.

They only say that there is a lot of fake (or partially fake) oil around marked as Italian.

And that some (good) producers of (good) olive oil are intimidated or forced to cooperate with Mafia.

>Combine that with Camorra dumping toxic waste and poisoning vast areas of the Italian countryside and it's pretty obvious that Italy has a huge problem.

Actually Italy has more than one huge problem, but this latter one you cited has nothing to do with "real" olive oil and its quality.
For those uses just buy a John Deere Gator or a Toro Workman. Best purchase we ever made for our hobby farm. Relatively easy to find cheap used ones and maintenance is really simple to do yourself. We have the Workman. The electric motor climbs anything and is very easy to modulate for use in tight maneuvers. The turning radius is so small it can go anywhere it will physically fit.
It would certainly be interesting to make a pull request for something like Healthcare.gov or something. I wonder if it's measurable how much tax money we could save (if any) if we allowed the public to audit and improve our code.
Follow up query: Why is it depressing to acknowledge that the world we know is a slow calamity of a thousand imperfections?

(Context: I was distressed as a child (teens) about the above, but in my mid-twenties I have grown at peace with the knowledge of the world's many imperfections and inhumanitarian humanity. I'm still very young, I know this, so what am I missing here? Widsom is appreciated.)

Not GP, but uploading a single Javascript function to AWS in the form of a zip file is essentially identical to uploading an individual PHP script to a shared host via FTP/SFTP. The workflow around that process (or rather, the lack of workflow) is the same as the process for developing CGI applications in the 90s/early 2000s.

Of course, Serverless also offers elastic scaling and non-HTTP triggers, so that's a point of difference.

For all the talk of elastic scaling, I suspect that a lot of people are enjoying the idea of Serverless at the moment simply because it harks back to an earlier, pre-framework, pre-workflow approach to web development.
