This isn't a statement against your other critiques of Seattle's government. In fact, I have no standing to speak on them given I've never been to the city.

But I'm be quite weary of criticisms against city's handling of their homeless populations, given the issue is a box of hand grenades, all with different timing mechanisms that must be diffused the moment it's opened.

The most vocal political actors around the issue are generally highly empathetic activists averse to almost any form of outcome oriented case management, metric collection or conditional aid policies; and those that vociferously oppose all forms of state-driven social aid.

Cities that pander to the first, compassion-oriented constituency tend to risk becoming a dumping ground for the region's less compassionate actors, and cities that pander to the other tend to dump their homeless populations on the more compassionate ones. This means that whoever tries to solve the issue first inevitably finds their public/private resources strained beyond reason.

Attempts to reconcile the two perspectives usually satisfy no one, and more often than not seem to produce counterproductive and Byzantine bureacratic mazes that ultimately produce little to no positive outcomes and lack the flexibility to adapt their social services on a case by case basis.

Public domain isn't open source, that concept doesn't exist in every country.
Happening in other developed countries as well. Mega-cities and urban coastal corridors are globalizing faster than the nation-states to which they are legally subsumed under. Cities are beginning to test the boundaries of their prescribed sovereignty in trade and other matters.
The way this is written makes it obvious that the author has an agenda altogether and dislikes the idea of this feature. It's written with a very condescending undertone. Nothing wrong with that of course, just might be nice to be transparent around it.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, the industry can rip Clojure from my cold, dead hands. It's unfortunate that people in this thread seem to down on the language, but the only possible way I would stop using it is if I literally cannot earn income with it.

Some superstitious people would say, don't tempt fate by saying that out loud!

It is by far the most pleasant language I've ever used, I feel at home writing it, and it improves the quality of my work.

Very familiar. Be sure to diversify. (Ex Smalltalker here.)
Makes a lot of sense. Only monkeys use Apple, they don't deserve a free lunch. People use FreeBSD and Linux.
Yes, but the council isn’t - each member is appointed by the governments. So, my point is, that if you claim its undemocratic then you also have to call national cabinets undemocratic, or ambassadorships undemocratic.
Right, if only that were true.

It's a bigger pain-in-the-ass to run a property as an STR compared to renting to some local on a yearly lease, since tenant turnover always requires a variety of owner/prop-manager/property interactions (cleaning, fixing stuff, finding the right seasonal listing price, interacting with people unfamiliar with the area, and a big issue of dealing with 'vacationer' collateral damage: trashed apartment, pissed-off neighbors, etc.).

That final hurdle (the 'pain-in-the-ass bottleneck') is almost completely mitigated in the current manifestation of Airbnb. We are at a tipping point where corporations buy dozens, hundreds, of residential properties and automate the entire STR process. Vacationers book online, they show up at the STR and punch-in a pin code to open the front door (no need to shake anyone's hand), vacationers stay for a few days, leave the STR in whatever state of affairs, later that day some contracted cleaning staff shows up and cleans the mess, washes the sheets etc, and resets the door-lock on the way out. Voilà, fully automated STR. Rinse, repeat. And the more STRs the corporation owns in a city, the lower the overhead cost per unit.

Here is one such company... Sonder.

https://www.sonder.com/destinations/san_diego/search?ne=32.8...

If you take a look at the map of their San Diego offerings, you'll see a bunch of pins on the map with numbers like <9>, <12>, <14>, up to <27> it seems. But if you look closely, that doesn't mean they own 27 total apartments in San Diego, that number means they own 27 apartments/lofts under that single pin. Sonder is a Silicon Valley based company, waddayaknow.
Just eat fruit raw! It's not exactly difficult to find fruit that requires no significant preparation, needing nothing more than a quick rinse under tap/removal of skin (according to taste), if even that, before you can put it in your mouth and eat it. I particularly like apples and tomatoes, but there are other similarly straightforward fruit options. Bananas and oranges seem to be popular.

Pick the right type of fruit, and you'll be done in less than 1 minute. You probably just spent more time than that writing a post about how you don't have time to eat fruit! - just think how much better your life would be had you spent that minute eating a banana.

(Many types of vegetables do require cooking, but, again, you have options: bell peppers, onions, spring onions, most types of lettuce...)
> Are they saying I can't trust what I read in the license files of a project?

That's not quite what they're saying. They're asking what's stopping anyone from claiming their project is "open source", but actually meaning something most people won't recognize as such -- for example, "my project is open source because its source code is public. But if you want to legally do anything with it other than look, you have to pay me."

If there isn't a standardized definition, someone can claim the above, and all you could really argue is that their definition of "open source" is different from yours (and they'll probably ask "who made you the arbiter of what's open and what's not?"). Once there is a standardized definition, the position instead becomes "your definition doesn't meet the international standard", which is a much weightier argument.

As for hubris -- in much the same way that even with an international definition for something like a kilogram, nothing stops you from creating your own, different measurement, and claiming you're selling stuff "by your own measure of kilogram" to whoever will buy it, there will never be anything stopping you from creating your own definition of "open source" and carefully defining it in a license file. It's just that if that definition differs from the standardized one, developers will either have to carefully read your license (or have their lawyers do that), or choose to use a project with a standard license that's already been vetted a thousand times over.
Any idea what they are? We've seen an uptick in users reporting transactional emails going to spam.
This is the way to do it. Then make the ask for a referral, interview, etc. at the end. It usually works, I've gotten a good job doing this.
Nobody here is drawing that line. Almost anyone who's in favor of going after predatory payday lenders will also be in favor of going after the predatory practices of big banks, like transaction ordering to maximize overdraft fees. The CFPB can and should fix all of this.
Here's a sous vide cooker you can use with any pot for $45.

An ordinary ziploc type bag works fine for sous vide as long as you don't submerge the opening. I've used them for that many times. It's a bit awkward and takes a little more time, but no big deal.
A noble effort, but futile in my opinion. Trying to get the tech world to agree on something is like trying to herd cats. It's not going to work. What's to prevent another organization(s) from "forking" their own definition of open source. And good luck trying to get the differing major license camps ( MIT, GNU, etc ) to agree on anything.
If by minimalism you mean flat design I agree, but it's usually not information dense.

I don't see how this conflicts, exactly. Time is indeed a major factor, but money is not orthogonal: below a certain level of income (which depends on the person's circumstances) it impacts the amount of available time too, with cascading effects.

It doesn't matter how much food (discipline) you've got if your water supply (time, money) is dry for a month.

Great, I'll try selling those options to my spouse who is having issues with low iron right now and for which cooking an additional meal option for the week is not an option.

The "my way or the highway" approach is only really valid when children are involved so that advice is quite limited in terms of value.
So this is yet another comments thread where I see numerous people not agreeing with OSI definition of "Open Source" and it got me wondering again, has there always been such a sentiment, or is it a recent one?
I don't recall seeing it as much even a couple of years ago. Has there been some anti-OSI movement, and if so is there somewhere I could read about arguments against OSI? It seems most comments seem to be boiling down to "you are not going to tell me what I can do" but that's perhaps unfair.
In a lot of cases making money isn't their primary goal. Most ccTLDs are run by their respective governments, in which case the total revenue from domain sales is insignificant compared to the national budget. Or they're run by universities or other affiliated non-profits.

And even if they're behaving in a seemingly sane way now, they can always change policies down the line. With gTLDs there's real contractual protection; you have ownership rights of those domains that don't exist in the same sense for ccTLDs.

This study isn’t garbage. It studies stuff, and draws the conclusion that it is garbage.

That doesn’t in any way imply this study itself is garbage.

The lesson to take away from this is ”we don’t know whether having breakfast has any effect on weight”.

That is (slightly) interesting news, as many (popular) articles on weight loss claim skipping breakfast is bad (example: https://www.everydayhealth.com/weight/why-breakfast-is-key-t...)

You have to keep in mind that this was written by multiple authors 2000 years ago in a different culture using different ways of putting things. It is also a good exercise to entertain a mental position that is not yours; read a hindu verses assuming hindu gods exist, read the bible assuming God exists. That way you are not in danger of loosing out on valuable concepts just because the supernatural is alien to you.
It's not really difficult at all. You need to make sure you get adequate b-12, iron, omega-3 but many foods are fortified (at least in Canada where I live) and many people are already taking a multivitamin.

Windows 10 has global colour filters that make this super easy. Windows key + Ctrl + C toggles it on and off, and you can change which filter to use in Settings → Ease of Access → Colour Filters.

Your claim that it is "completely disingenuous" and click-bait-ey to note Google avoids so much corporation tax on its European operations it actually pays more in fines rests on a completely disingenuous claim that VAT on Adwords should be counted as "dollar amounts Google has raised for the EU", despite them generally resulting in zero net change to company tax bills as they're fully tax-deductible for VAT-registered businesses.

It's a bit rich to accuse others of having an agenda to malign an organization when you started off with claims about what the EU wanted based entirely on your own ignorance of how VAT on business expenses actually works. (It's actually a rare example of a tax designed to avoid "double taxation")

It seems to be an option to compile to C for platform support, but the page also says:

1. I no longer work at Airbnb, so I can't help you there.

2. The wrapper is somewhat deeply embedded in the dev tools swiss army knife, and is written in Ruby, so (a) it's difficult to extract since its tied with other Airbnb specific concerns and support libraries, and (b) distributing perf-sensitive Ruby code to end-users is challenging so you might not want it anyways.

You might want to take a look at Mutagen, a unison replacement written in Go which seems to avoid most of what makes Unison annoying to work with. I haven't tested it, though, so I can't vouch for it.

Mercurial support, fuck yeah:

https://hg.sr.ht/

This is the killer feature for me.

Why Mercurial?

Here’s a list of Mercurial features that I think are really cool:

Revsets – a domain-specific language for querying your commits

Templates – a domain-specific language for altering the output of almost every command. Putting together these two you can do things like this: http://jordi.inversethought.com/blog/customising-mercurial-l...

Evolution – a distributed and safe way to share rewrites (think automatically recovering from upstream rebase without any git reset --hard and no git push --force).

Absorb – automatically amends an entire stack of WIP commits at once by picking the right diffs from your working directory based on which commits’ contexts they fit best.

Curses interface for hunk-picking – a unified interface for splitting diffs for any purpose: whether to revert working-directory changes, write a new commit, uncommit parts of a commit, or amend a commit with more diffs. Just add --interactive to any of those commands and start picking hunks!

A fairly rich built-in web interface – hg serve and point your browser to http://localhost:8000 and you’re good to go.

Lots of support for monorepos – indeed, this is the main reason that Google, Facebook, and Mozilla are all pouring work into hg and are using it.

A consistent UI – this one is more subjective but often-touted feature of Mercurial. If a command accepts a revision/hash/tag/bookmark; it always uses the -r/--rev flag for it (and you can also always use a revset for any command that accepts a revision). If a command allows hunk selection, it always uses the -i/--interactive flag for it. The help for every command fits in about a screenful.

Give it a try! Mercurial is neat!
Eating fruit and raw vegetables for me does make me feel good and brings about a feel of wellbeing. Whether thats the sugar or the other nutrients that they bring i don't know.

Its not really news, i agree, but to a lot of people it is.

I agree that correlation is not causation in a lot of cases, but in this case its kind of true but it depends.. Raw is a lot better than cooked.

Its also the difference between real physical wellbeing from nutrients/sugars, and percieved psychological wellbeing from eating certain foods.

Apple pie might be more of a psychological wellbeing than raw apples which is more physiological, although cooking can bring out different types of nutrients in some cases.

Not sure about the firing squad... people make mistakes, I can certainly see how she was focused on trying to avoid a collision and forgot to sound the alarm. There must have been at least 5 other people on the bridge who could have done it as well.

Of course it should go up the chain, it should go as high as the people making the tasking to the ship Captains when they know the ships aren't ready to execute. Blaming the crew in this situation is discounting the factors that force the crew to operate like this.

Just because a corporation doesnt pay any corporate tax, that doesnt mean the Government doesnt get paid their fair share when their employees pay an income tax on the salary thats paid to them by the corporation.

Having a 35% corporate tax AND a 35% income tax on all earners who make more than 120k/year, means the Government would essentially recieve %70 of all of Netflix's revenues, assuming inbound revenue and outbound expenditures are maintained at a 1:1 rate of growth.

Netflix doesn't pay (nor should they be paying any) taxes right now because they invest heavily in producing original content using borrowed money. When that original content flops they still have to pay back all that money they lost plus interest.

Netflix might have made a ton of profit this year but im pretty sure they are still heavily in debted (in the billions last i checked). To tax netflix at 35% now that they are finally starting to see a return on their investment would only cripple the corporation from maintaining their upwards momentum of growth.

You only want to start taxing a corporation when they are completely self reliant on their own revenue when funding their day to day operations and investments towards R&D.

I think you’ve thoroughly misread my post and it’s context. Please tell me where any citizen can vote for the European Comission - not parliament - which you can’t, because you do realize they are appointed by the heads of government in each country directly, which is why it’s wrongly targeted as “undemocratic”.

My point is that if you call that undemocratic then there is lots of thing probably much closer to home that you should also critisize - like appointed cabinets forming the government - at least in the UK, you elect a local representative - nobody anywhere voted for e.g. Jeremy Hunt to be foreign secretary, so wouldn’t you have to argue that that is undemocratic also?
Obviously only monkeys use Apple, these inferior creatures buy into every gimmick by Apple which exploits their desire to believe that they're better than others. As gimmick kicked off and got profit, they ditch it until the next one.
Where in the article does the OSI mention or hint at anything about threat of law? The OSI does have the legal right to tell you what they think Open Source is. You have the legal right to ignore it. All OSI did is say "here is our definition of Open Source, and these are the people that agree with us, and you should agree with us too."
Definitely glad that he changed it. I was concerned about that holding his growth back when he did the Show on Lobsters. Also, some people can't access sites with weird domains due to corporate firewalls. A .org might prevent that.

> If you have no access to better credit, payday loans are often the least-worst option.

Just isn't a very relevant argument. The reason you regulate things are because they provide, often strong, value to one or multiple parties but overall negative effects. Either eventually to the parties themselves or society at large. It is essentially a way to control externalities. So you would have to argue that these benefits are greater than the negatives.

> The only credible solution is to improve access to credit for the poor [...]

If payday loans are legitimate there is unlikely to be a need for such a solution.
