I'm far from the group that thinks everyone not working is "lazy", but I can understand the situation: If you find someone that is legit being lazy (best examples are clear fraud with no mitigating reasoning) you feel outraged and "stolen from". And it does happen - I worked for Virginia state social services when a hurricane came through, and the department set up centers where you could get fast approval for food stamps - you had to fill out a few (3, i think?) lines about income, and your actual eligibility would figured out later - if you weren't eligible, you'd owe the money back, but the idea was to help people that had lost their food, their jobs, etc immediately.

Months later the word came back about fraud. And it was a doozy. The program was a general success, but there were SO MANY fraud cases. And I don't mean "missed a number" or "didn't understand that this asset mattered" or even "struggling but not legally struggling enough" - I mean blatant, totally unnecessary, how-are-you-not-ashamed fraud. As a liberal I found it shocking.

It's easy to allow this outrage to count for more than the actual money is worth, to ignore the many, many legit needy cases where people WEREN'T being like this.

I read once that the true difference between a liberal and conservative is not about compassion - both can be fully compassionate - but whether they are more outraged by someone in need being neglected or by someone not in need taking advantage of the offer of help.

I also think that most people don't actually see either side of this coin - they don't see the people in need getting help, nor those that abuse it. They hear about it and their emotions take hold (in either direction). And most of them, regardless of reaction, aren't hearing the actual truth.
Neuromorphic Computing Breakthrough May Disrupt AI
How about:

Facebook jumbles up the way it sends you advertising content so it's harder for ad-blockers to identify and block it.
I don't know if it's the result of percieved inequality; the article seemed to state it is a result of actual inequality. It also said that successful helicopter parents merely exacerbate inequality.
This is equivalent to micromanagement. If you have a good micromanager, it works more than folks like to give it credit. We just typically call those managers, not micromanagers. :)

So, I assert we have known for a long time that something like "helicopter parenting" works. We just use that term for the over involved parents. What this page calls "excesses".

"Done right" we just call it good parenting. And, it turns out, that is damned hard. And it is all too easy to talk about the failures. All the while not understanding exactly why they failed. (Though, I also assert that talking about successes with the same ignorance is a great way to sell books.)
South Africa is headed for genocide of the Boer, it's not a big secret.

They're "allowed" to do whatever they want, and I'm allowed to think their complaining reeks of entitlement and selfishness.
Only one of those is sort of an option for me. USB tokens = disallowed. Accessing personal email at work = disallowed. Using a single recovery code is a possibility, but I would have to rotate through them constantly (see other comments in this thread).
Yep buying a lot of my music via Bandcamp. 7digital is good for more mainstream stuff and world music.
I don't believe that I define helicopter parents the same as the author of that piece.

Helicopter parent in that article: Someone who is involved in their kids' lives but still allows the child some amount of autonomy (see authoritative parenting section).

Helicopter parent in my experience: Exists solely to REMOVE obstacles to a child's success.

The way that was written, a helicopter parent is just a parent that structures a child's time. It's more than that, isn't it? Did I read that wrong?
First time I heard about inhalable insulin! Indeed it's unclear what the pills could offer over this.
Wasn't it easy to predict?
You're right, there's obviously a spectrum. I feel it's gone too far in one direction. There's literally no proof on this particular issue that Trump had anything to do with the NE story on Bezos so it seems like quite a leap to start creating conspiracy theories that he used national intelligence agencies to dig up the dirt.
They don't, but you also do not have an inherent right to use their service. What about video game cheats? Should e.g. Blizzard have no recourse should you run software which allows you to cheat in their games? You may say "well fix your bugs!", but it seems simpler and better for the community to just ban the tiny percentage of people who are hell bent on cheating.
I suppose I'm glad I offered the caveat that it was a 'feeling', in that case.
I love it. My minimalistic blog is build using pandoc. Would it bother you if I plagiarized your blog styles.
The question this boils down to ultimately is:

Who owns the consumption platform (device/OS/Browser)?

If the user owns the platform, it's the responsibility of the service provider to deliver HTML. Nothing more. The user may display the content in any way he/she like. Store it for later consumption. Extract information, etc. This is how the web was initially envisaged. Browser extensions which allow you to inject JS/CSS are still a relict of this era.

If the service provider owns the platform, all the user may do is consume the content in its provided form (inc. Ads) or leave it.
This is where the web is currently headed. With company controlled mobile platforms (iOS) the control over the platform is already completely out of the hand of the user. Consolidation of the Browser technology is another step in this direction.

If the regulator does not step in, this paradigm shift will go on, and we will see more and more lock-down of the web.
This is the bed Americans made for themselves.

It’s mind-boggling to me how Americans evaluate their government like it is somebody else’s company, like you are doing here.

You do know the government belongs to you, right? It falls apart when you stop taking care of it.

This is like abandoning a family member. It’s not a huge deal if you do it alone but when you try to convivce everybody else to abandon that family member, they are going to fall behind, become more needy, more manipulative, eventually dishonezt, and surprise surprise, less likeable. But they are your family member. When you ridicule them, you’re ridiculing your own creation.
> When it comes to subscriptions: academic libraries, under pressure of academics.

Where are these researchers who pressure the academic libraries to buy subscriptions? I never saw them, except if they are in the management.

If we were to speak in market terms, well, publishers are private entities driven by the market forces, right? So in market terms the clients (researchers) manifest a strong preference for other products than those offered by the publishers. Why do they still exist? Does not make any sense, except if we recognize also that the market is perturbed by the fact that somebody still buys their product and forces the clients to consume and to produce it.

No, just like Spotify doesn't ban you for turning off the audio during commercials or looking away from the screen.
That headline is pretty misleading. The tagline is a little better.

I’m not diabetic but just reading your comment is making me feel queasy and on edge.
In Ontario Canada, our outgoing government tried basic income as well. It increased unemployment in the pilot cities. So our new government eliminated basic income quickly because it was the opposite of the general trend of all other cities.

The reality is that people don't need money. Money is important but what people need is a purpose and goals. Which a basic income system does not provide.

Yeah, sure, ok.

It's also interesting to note that this really only indicates that it works insofar that children of helicopter parents are academically successful - does that translate to the children being professionally successful, or happy about their upbringing?
It is not just about carbohydrates.It is the healing by natural minerals vitamins from fruits and vegetables which cannot be replaced by supplements.
There is a long science with research papers which cannot be explained here.
I made a very simple webapp a few months ago, where students are proposed assignments and can rank them. For that, you need authentication, and DB management: a subject table, a student table, and a ranking table. You have to do all of that manually in go, while other languages have frameworks that take care of it.

Still did it in go because it was a very simple webapp and deployment is so easy with go, but for a more complex task I'm not sure I'd have used it.
For the most part, people trust their state and local governments, but distrust the federal government; state politicians are commonly re-elected until they choose to retire. I think it's because the country is so large and diverse that what's good for one state may not be good for another. We've got cities and states with a higher population and more economic power than some of the EU members, but a huge geographic divide in the middle of the country. Culturally, people on the west and east coasts seem to be different enough that they don't agree with the politicians that are elected, then you have smaller states that feel bullied by the bigger states like New York and California. Eventually it starts to feel like the only people you can trust to look out for your interests are state and local politicians.

I've seen a similar sentiment from citizens of smaller EU members who feel that Germany and France are willing to push for changes that benefit themselves and the EU as a whole, even if the changes are detrimental to the smaller states.
Incorrect inference.

You've incorrectly attributed the argument from a specific offshoot (that foreign spy tools persist because of limited counterintelligence resources) and applied it to the root supposition (that nation states utilize parallel construction, through a conspiracy with known adversaries as a matter of course and that spy infrastructure is built specifically for that purpose).
What are people's opinions of this type of diff? Are there certain cases where it's more useful to see it like this than the usual green/red above and below style?

Would be great if there were studies on this. What is the easiest to interpret: in-line, above/below, side-by-side, other options I don't know exist
I end up hitting bare string implicit casting problems constantly. I also end up catching them in code review when codeworkers do it constantly and yet I still end up doing it too. This might be the best example of why YAML is overengineered garbage (that and the fact that the spec is 83 pages long and has pointers… WTF?).

Tesla Model 3 became the best-selling luxury car in America
This is widely regarded amongst _some revisionists_ as not true at all.

About Stimson quote, you're saying:
"America had literally run out of targets"
while his quote states otherwise:
"I was a little fearful that before we could get ready the Air Force might have Japan so thoroughly bombed"

He's not stating that US _had_ run out of targets, he's only _fearing_ it.

And your second link is a typical Stalin whitewashing with a lot of contradictions.
He's stating that:
1. "Japan’s leaders had wanted to surrender anyway and likely would have done so before the American invasion planned for Nov. 1." - he directly contradicts that by later sentence "The destruction of Hiroshima had done nothing to reduce the preparedness of the troops dug in on the beaches of Japan’s home islands."
2. "Japan’s leaders had not seriously considered surrendering prior to that day. " - this directly condraticts #1. And Japan's leaders started considering surrender in 1945, including even emperor himself ("I was told that the iron from bomb fragments dropped by the enemy was being used to make shovels. This confirmed my opinion that we were no longer in a position to continue the war")
3. "What made them sit down to seriously discuss surrender for the first time after 14 years of war?
It could not have been Nagasaki. The bombing of Nagasaki occurred in the late morning of Aug. 9, after the Supreme Council had already begun meeting to discuss surrender, and word of the bombing only reached Japan’s leaders in the early afternoon — after the meeting of the Supreme Council had been adjourned in deadlock and the full cabinet had been called to take up the discussion." He implies that the tipping point was a Soviet invasion. So for some reason bombing Nagasaki on August 9th wasn't able to convince Japan to surrender because of the timing, but Soviet invasion on August 9th somehow did.
4. "Soviet forces, on the other hand, could be in Japan proper in as little as 10 days. " - that's a very wishful estimation. Soviets didn't have enough transports and expertise to invade "Japan proper". And in reality after 10 days they didn't manage to invade even Kuril islands, not to mention their original target, Hokkaido.

The simple answer is that I don't like Spotify as much as I like GPM and Tidal. Tidal is my go-to for high-quality music when I'm listening at home on my nice speakers. I've found that Tidal has the best radio experience, at least for the type of music I listen to (Spotify and GPM have a bad habit of playing the same exact songs / artists when I do a radio for a particular artist/album/song, Tidal varies it more).

Google play music is simply extremely convenient considering how nicely it works with Google Assistant. Additionally, I have tens of thousands of my own music collection uploaded to GPM that I'm free to download whenever I want without restriction. Spotify lets you play music offline, but it's basically cached and still tied to your premium Spotify subscription.
1-2 coffees? it's 10 bucks. where are you that 1 coffee is 10 dollars?

10 dollars is not a trivial amount of money, and its WAY above most people's pre-spotify music budget. If you don't spend that money, you have an extra $120 bucks at the end of the year.
Spotify is not a public service, it is a company. They can pay for user testing in order to improve their product or they can use completely anonymous data. Your privacy is not a necessary sacrifice for products to improve nor should it be.

That being said, I find it OK for them to block users who try to get a paid service, for free. What isn't OK is the advertisement model. A better model in my eyes would be for limiting the free element of the service more and/or running unintrusive ads for the service itself. That way you could still push for more paying customers, without sacrificing the users who can't afford the product.

I do think their is a nuance between tracking how you use the app and letting third party systems track what you do, where you are, etc. Still, they are just a company, not a basic human need.
The levers are broken, it's really hard to debate that at this point. Maybe they were always broken and the internet has helped shed light on the true state of things or maybe due to crumbling business models the media has become more dishonest than ever. That definitely impacts the effectiveness of democracy. Thankfully the internet is still open enough that large media companies are having a hard time monopolizing the narrative.
Thanks for the excellent advice. I’m 31 and I’m curious to learn what you would tell someone my age to learn about low level stuff.

What are the things you would suggest to learn and what resources do you recommend?

Thanks, again!
Halfway through this article, they switch from helicopter parenting to authoritative parenting. Authoritative parenting is not helicopter parenting. It's one of the three types of parenting listed in intro-level child psychology textbooks, along with authoritarian and permissive. It's the only good one of the three. It's not news that kids who receive the good kind of parenting have an advantage.

I'm not sure that "intensive parenting style" means helicopter parenting either, but I don't think people are generally arguing that helicopter parenting hurts kids' academic performance in high school. The worry is that they'll be deficient in other ways both immediately and later in life.
Do you pay for cable tv? How do you consume media? Piracy?
It would be entirely possible to write campaign finance laws so that organizations like the EFF can only be funded by private donations and not by corporations, if they want to make campaign contributions or run "issue" advertising. I don't really see what unintended consequences you're referring to. The problem with getting corporate money out of politics is that the people getting it wouldn't like that, not that the law would be difficult to craft in a fair way.
I agree but if the latest document is a draft? That is how lastModifiedDate ended up in those browsers in the first place. Obviously, going back would have noticed that it was removed from the spec and updated accordingly. The point is that IE has maintained backwards compatibility and Chrome has not.
I've seen that Nginx can remove the .php suffix, with its try_files directive. but I haven't see how it can handle PATH_INFO of arbitrary length. Can you point me to the documentation that you're thinking about?
Not all institutions and providers would choose to participate.
Right.

So there will be private providers that do not participate.

The same thing happens in the UK - you could visit a private hospital if you want to (and many people do) but if the institution is a public-funded one then they don’t get to offer different levels of care for different people.

You can absolutely have a private, non-participating hospital or practice under the proposed plan.
If it works why do we constantly hear about recent generations not doing as well as their parents financially or career wise?
Go really just isn't designed for the same kind of service that PHP is normally used for. Its best at small API services (and, tangentially, its also pretty great at CLI tools).

> They were a little surprised to hear our stack involved Golang and some flat out told us they’d prefer PHP, because that’s what most of our products rely upon.

I believe this is the real reason why, and everything else above it is pointless technical justification for a sound business decision. I also believe there's an unvoiced, even more powerful reason, in "I already know PHP and don't want to learn a whole new thing."

These are both sound reasons. The technical justifications are not.

Choosing Go for something like this was a bad decision. But choosing PHP is only slightly better. Opting for Django, Rails, or Phoenix would have better technical justification, but technical justification is rarely the real reason why we make decisions like these.
That is my read, too. There is a bit of a "No true Scotsman" to the debate, but I do feel it is going for an intentionally wrong take on the term.
Twitter doesn't need some kind of stupid hack of setting a visibile-to-you field to flag an account. Your account got hacked. This doesn't necessary mean they guessed the password, there are other ways to take over a well aged but apparently abandoned account.
I've seen that before, thanks. Wish I could find a similar tool to download (or stream) my bought and paid for collection, at the quality I set!
I don't get how "authoritative" parenting (which they label as emphasizing "adaptability, problem-solving and independence") is at all the same as helicopter-parent style overbearing control and micromanagement.

She should. It's probably not against her father's will to use (part of) it for good purposes. As said above, it would turn into costly ruins otherwise.
Those places would be the US and many anglo-saxon influenced countries. Where it is seen as if you are unemployed then it is a failing on your part, not the job market or any other factors. If you do find a job it better pay a living wage and it better pay now. The state will pull benefits almost immediately once your paperwork goes through. And if the job is temporary or seasonal be prepared to start at square one to resume benefits payments.

The incentives are really screwed up. They do want you to use it and if you do they don't want you to leave it.
From the article, given the area it's in, it doesn't sound like it would necessarily host low-income or middle-class families. Call me cynical, but I see those condos being someone's third or fourth home and being empty half the time.
The Saudis are positioned as our allies in the war on terror. More accurately, they're regional enemies of Iran, and the western powers tend to run on the rubric "the enemy of my enemy is my ally" (even when a closer look at the situation would suggest that just ain't so).

They are huge customers for British arms sales (look up the Al Yamamah deal — roughly US $100Bn in business). They're known to have bought surveillance and intelligence monitoring software from Israel. They're in everybody's back pockets, and in their wallets.

As a Brit, I find your belief that US citizens are immune from monitoring by the intelligence services of other nations (when that kind of money is passing hands) touching ...
I'm assuming you're using an ads-blocker. Just out of curiosity, if Spotify would serve ads via images only, without JavaScript, would you whitelist it in your ads-blocker?

If no, then the loading of JavaScript isn't really the issue, isn't it?
I second the AccuCheck fastclix. The needles are silicon coated so they don't tear tissues -- so very little pain. I hated using the other brands of lancets. The needles are encased in a cartridge, so you can throw them away in a trash can and don't have to worry about anyone getting a stick or punching through a trash bag.
No worries, answering my own question, there's a picture showing the prices on their website:
https://www.raspberrypi.org/app/uploads/2019/02/Pi-Shelf.png

It's 32£, which is less than on amazon.co.uk (currently 33.95£, varying between 33 and 36 over the last month). I'm guessing it's pretty good.

You can occasionnally find them for less on chinese websites, but I haven't seen a deal in a while, and you need to wait at least 3 weeks to get one; which is pretty much the opposite of brick-and-mortar store.
