One day you might play it so well, you find yourself on the Board.

Will you then argue that all new projects should avoid deadline dates, that no project should have anything other than an MVP and a iteration plan after that?

How do we change the expectations?
Kids can't resist addiction as well as adults. Screens are easily the thing that get the most compulsive reactions from my 4yo. My feeling is that too much video stimulates him enough that he will end up repeating phrases and songs rather than invent stories and playact. Not sure how any of this would show up in a survey like the one in the article, but I'm pretty convinced that our daily quota of one hour of screen time is a good idea.
If you want to do event sourcing. Look at persistent actors from akka (jvm and clr). It solve a lot of feaures as discussed here with replay, snapshotting, event upgrades etc.

I'm an American city-dweller and I've heard or read the expression 'rough sleeping' or 'sleeping rough' before. It isn't common in the US but it's not exactly difficult to determine from the context in the article either.
It seems they are difficult because they're intentionally designed to de-anonymize users coming in over VPN/Tor, using the small variation in click timing. If you see one of these and want to stay anonymous, close the tab and walk away.

Do you count tents and cars as shelter that disqualifies "sleeping rough"? I wouldn't, but you included cars in your counter example.
The hole game is open sourced, you can add whatever you want.
You need to stop spreading incorrect information. The state department estimates that there is between 800,000 and 2,000,000 prisoners in these camps.

It might not be viable, but I used to "publish" internally my own project one pagers, and update the timelines - any discrepancies simply became a shield for this future arguments.

In short it sounds like you don't have the power to say no - but actually you do.
China is a very diverse country and has a good amount of rural residents. To reach these towns, a hub-and-spokes model is followed, which added more trips per person.
I've been doing this for the last few months and it really helps. In my case it's a set of OneNote grouped tabs for each story/project/etc that I'm working on. I have tabs for re-creating, background, ways to setup the environment for the task at hand, links to things that are helpful, etc.

That's also physical access.

My point is that $TLA couldn't get DNA to implicate $TARGET in a murder, if they don't know where $TARGET is. Or know anyone who does. But if they can obtain $TARGET's DNA test results, they could fabricate evidence.
China commands such a massive market which makes it hard to rationalize neglecting it, purely from a revenue standpoint. Going to be interesting to see how Western companies respond to the continuing rise of authoritarian policies in China, and whether or not it influences their business practices outside of China.

Consider this a canary that Tor is working as intended. If you get past Captcha on Tor, to me that is a sign something is terribly amiss.
This Wendover Productions video "Why China Is so Good at Building Railways" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0JDoll8OEFE also explains a lot about how things have changed recently to make this migration even more possible in China. They've built so much high speed rail in the last decade that they now have more than the rest of the world, combined. Hong Kong to Beijing is under 9 hours, while comparable distances in other parts of the world are over 40 hours.

Cool project. Tested it and it seems to work as expected.

My only suggestion would be to have a better UX for when users are creating the clip. I wasn't for sure how long a certain section of the video would last, so I had to watch the video until the section ended, and note the end time. I then subtracted the end time from begin time to determine how long the clip should be. Not sure having every frame displayed would be best, but being able to indicate start/stop thresholds visually, might help. Bookmarked!
It's not that, it's the fact that Google asks you almost never if you're using a Google account. That pretty much gives Google-account-havers a fast pass to the Internet, which gives Google even more power that it really shouldn't have. Also, they're using the captchas to train their AIs, which is unfair extraction of labor.
It’s funny how people seem to think weed is such a great idea, but for so many reasons it’s a fantastically tacky answer to fill conversations with a somewhat boring non-controversy.

A lot of people can’t handle marijuana. Still more just aren’t interested in it. Others get damaged by it, with the introduction of psychiatric complications, schizoid disorders in particular. And then, by far, the most common reality: the rest of the people who smoke themselves retarded, and never get off the couch anymore.

So, yeah, smoking weed. Really cool and all, but too bad about all the assholes...
> Instead of writing "an AI that determines guilt" (e.g. a classifier) they should be trying to write "an AI that compiles a list of evidence against the accused".

The problem there is selection bias. If you have a list of fifteen things, three make it slightly more likely they've committed a crime. Seven make it slightly less likely. Two make it significantly more likely and three make it significantly less likely. If you consider them all, the probability they've committed a crime is in the "probably not" range. But if you take the list and prune everything that makes it less likely, leaving only the factors that make it more likely, you get a distorted result. This is what prosecutors do for juries in general, and it's problematic.

Now suppose instead of a list of fifteen you start with a list of fifteen million and do the same thing.

By this logic, though, everything declarative is a hack. Computers are imperative. At some point everything becomes an instruction; dig deep enough and all declarative code calls imperative code.
It's true, though.

> Since 2007, their government has built homeless policies on the foundations of the "Housing First" principle.

> Put simply, it gives rough sleepers or people who become homeless a stable and permanent home of their own as soon as possible.

Sorry to sound cynical, but is this an actual solution? Rather than treating the cause, they are simply spending money to remove the symptom. This type of "fix" can be done with any problem given a deep enough pocket.

I have nothing against housing the indigent. I'm just constantly surprised why nobody seems interested in treating the obvious and insidious causes of such problems.
Comparison of convenience...
Interesting chart - it shows inequality slowing rising over the decades, but it can't tell you how much of the total market income the top 10% received. According to the OECD, the top 10% in the US now make about 33% of the market income and pay 45% of the income taxes. It would be interesting to find how that compares to 1980.
It's an approach that has shown dramatic positive results in the US over the last 20 years.

The shelter the homeless programs in the US reduced the homeless population from ~650,000 to ~550,000 today over one decade (2007-2016), despite the great recession occuring during that time (with a massive spike in unemployment and people losing their homes). Unsheltered homelessness, which would be approximately equivalent to rough sleeping in the UK I believe, declined from 255,000 to 176,000 (31%) over that decade.

The Federal Government programs under Bush and Obama are solely responsible for the improvement, against a mediocre economic picture during that time. The housing first program under the Bush Admin, and then the various housing programs followed by that during Obama Admin[1].

If we're smart, we'll keep applying more resources that direction. It works [2] and we have overwhelming proof over the last two decades.

How do you live without Google (or another general purpose search engine)?

I have lots of random questions all the time - “how is cheese made”, “how to restore scroll by middle click”, “what is the good hosted dashboard for ~10 points/sec” - and I cannot imagine finding the answers without a search engine.

That's not the question. I'm not asking why humans tend to do something.

I'm asking why should one person's suffering or one person's life be intrinsically important to another---not why it often is.

To get to the point another way. To decide how to act you need some kind of ethical system. Let's say you pick utilitarianism.

Utilitarianism says that the suffering and happiness of each individual counts equally.

The obvious question is: "Why is that so?"

A possible answer is that, this is the premise that leads to the optimal outcome of maximum total happiness.

Which leads to the next question: "Why is maximum total happiness the optimal outcome?"

It's never ending. There is always another why question. Going deeper and deeper into that rabbit hole can be maddening and it's not always useful, but sometime it is. Ands it's almost always useful to ask a few whys.

Without asking the whys, you have no justification for any of your beliefs, and thus no way of knowing which beliefs to hold on to.
Neuroevolution: A different kind of deep learning (2017)
I have the same feeling. I would prefer to use classes rather than functions. More natural and nicely work with Typescript.

Luckily React is only a library and it is up to you how do you use it. I got used to working with classes and objects. For bigger and serious project I prefer Ember.js, which is modern and easy to pick up (https://yoember.com), but for some tiny project React is also a good choice with Typescript.

I guess hooks is a good option for devs who prefer functional programming.
I don't think it is an issue of pride but more of fairness.

If you find yourself on the streets because you lost your job or because you had a rough upbringing or because you had to flee from an abusive parent or partner, you should get housing paid by the state.

Where I draw the line, personally is to give free housing unconditionally to addicts.

I am not saying they shouldn't get it, I am saying they should get it under certain conditions, for example entering a program, doing some sort of training, get a job, anything.

Because how is it doing any good to society if you just give housing without people having to change their bad habits?

In the article, the lady who is alcoholic says she can just keep drinking in her room, so she probably doesn't want to work or get better. In this case, I would much rather have her room go to a single mum struggling with her kids or to somebody who actually wants to do something with their lives.

Instead, she is probably going to keep drinking and nothing will change.
Housing being a finite resource and taxpayers money being finite as well, priorities should be given to people who actually want to get better.

In an ideal world, maybe you can give a room/apartment to everybody out there who needs one including the people who just want to drink or shoot up all day.

But as it stands it does not makes sense and is ripe for abuse if everybody expects free housing even if they are not willing to change just a little bit.
Haven't heard it used much, but it makes total sense. Thanks!

You sound both cynical and uninformed. Plenty of organizations have found that treating the obvious causes is far easier when people are in a house, and it is rapidly becoming recognized even in America as the cheapest and most effective way to reduce homelessness. http://endhomelessness.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/housin...
With rents the way they are, where do all these 25K people live?

Market and 5th for example is this very specific hot spot of crazy folks, the man in the back of the subway sandwiches talking to himself, the jack-in-the-box I dare not enter ... but where do they all come from given the environs are so crazy expensive?

I'm surprised this activity hasn't coalesced somewhere in on the peninsula or south bay, or even out in sunset.
So you shouldn't be able to ride a bike until you're 18? All of that because cars? Good joke.
In a vicious cycle, an effect is also a cause, so treating the symptom can go a long way toward fixing the fundamental problem.

Homelessness quickly becomes the cause of the problems as well as the result. Tough to get a job without an address, without a job, no lease. Poor sleep and no place to shower, even harder to get any kind of job. Add in an arrest history due to homelessness and jobs are harder still. And around the circle it goes.
How flooded are we talking? A detector in orbit would regularly have an earth sized mass of rock between it and the sun so the difference could be teased out statistically for low values of flooded.

Side note: as a non-American, it's hilarious (and sometimes slightly irritating) to read place names in the <City>,<Country> format usually used by Americans (albeit in <City>,<State>).

Firstly, pretty much everybody I know is aware that Marlborough is a city in the UK. There's even a famous historical figure, the Duke of Marlborough, associated with the place.

Secondly it kind of indicates that at some level the writer believes that US states and foreign countries are similar organisational units, when actually countries have greater independence and sovereignty than do US states.

It's certainly illustrative and useful for a wider audience, but... I dunno... it still feels... a bit wrong.

(And yeah, there's probably a Marlborough somewhere in the US so American citizens might get confused, but that's kind of the point too... like when I say “I'm from Milan” and I get “oh, Milan, Texas?” back as a reply. “No ma’am, Milan, Italy.”)

The most common approach is to add versions to the events. The good thing is that with event sourcing, the exact cutover and lifetimes of these schema versions can be known (and even recorded as events themselves).

Downstream apps and consumers that don't need to be compatible with the entire timeline can then migrate code over time and only deal with the latest version. You have to deal with schemas anytime you have distributed communications anyway, but event sourcing provides a framework for explicit communication and this is one area where it can make things easier.

BFN once again buries the lede to push a false narrative.

The average bill decrease was despite increased consumption across the board from 2017 to 2018, as is plain in the page they link to (https://www.eia.gov/electricity/monthly/update/):

Total net electricity generation (thousand MWh) UP 3.7%

Residential retail price (cents/kwh) UP 0.1%

Retail sales (thousand MWh) UP .8%

Heating degree-days UP 22.5%

Natural gas price ($/mmBtu) UP 39.7%

Coal consumption UP 1.4%

Natural gas consumption (Mcf) UP 12.9%

Nuclear net generation (thousand MWh) DOWN -4.0%

This is how BFN defines a "greener" America?
AMD's Geode LX SoC won't ship its last order until this year, 2019. The Geode line predates the C3, and the Geode LX is just as old as the C3. I can't confirm when the C3 stopped shipping, but it was probably this decade.

Not OP but i would have to guess something along the lines of a revolution of the non-ascended. IE: when you have a country where the 0.1% live a life of luxury and extravagance while the rest are left to fight over the scraps.

It was arrogance combined with a metaphysical shift away from rulers as the divine that lead to their downfall. The difference now is nobody even pretends to believe our elites are divine in any sense of the word.
Yes. Of course I did. I merely tried (and failed) to sarcastically draw attention to how some computer users seem unaware of the fact that vim is a vi clone, that vim is one of many implementations in a family of similar text editors.

The way the poster uses the specific term 'vim' while asking a question that pertains to vi-style editors in general implies that he or she is indeed unaware of this.

To my ears, it is a bit like asking the question "how do I make a red Volvo 240 from 1982 go right?" to which my reply would be "you do it the same way as you do with any car in general, namely turning the wheel clockwise". If you have never seen a car before and suddenly find yourself in the driver's seat of one, asking such a specific question may make sense. I suppose that the situation is similar for these computer users: vim is the only vi-style editor they have ever seen because it is what ships with the only unix-like systems they ever encounter.

Actually, I would think everyone travelling during one period of the year is better for the climate than the alternative which is people going back to their hometowns uniformly throughout the year. Going back together would mean that trains/buses/etc are all at full capacity so it's way more efficient CO2/energy wise per person mile travelled.
