It's complicated.

It has become pretty clear that the Greater Internet Fuckwad Theory is not the whole story even if (arguably) some lower signal/noise venues would get fewer random offensive comments even if only because any level of identity verification will get in the way of casual drive-by shitposting.

But I don't really disagree with your basic point. There are nuanced topics I simply won't wade into online--which is probably fine as I probably don't have anything particular to add--as I may enrage someone who will make an issue of it within social/professional circles relevant to me.
He explicitly says in the article that he arrives at his office by 6am.

That said, I suspect he doesn't have a 1.5 hr commute like many do (and I used to have, at times). Working from home does indeed provide a tremendous advantage, particularly with those quiet early morning hours.
It's increasingly common in e.g. coffee shops/stands who don't want to have to deal with cash. Urban Baristas by Waterloo for example.

Even in small supermarkets you'll have to queue for a smaller number of automated checkouts that can do cash, rather than the big row of card-only checkouts.
> America is a deeply individualistic society

Polls say otherwise: http://nymag.com/intelligencer/2018/08/new-poll-majority-of-...

Who benefits from convincing Americans they're individualistic and should remain isolated when negotiating with giant corporations?
It's interesting how much work is done to remove try things from the web (vs adding to it) to make it usable.
using rm-hull/infix in clojure

x * (y + z) = x * z + y * z reduces to
($= x * (y + z) = x * z + y * z)

Specifically its more complex only in that the entire expression is wrapped in ($= )

In order to give x y and z values to run it simply wrap it in a let and give them values.

(let [x 1 y 2 z 1]
($= x * (y + z) = x * z + y * z))

alternatively wrap it in a function

(defn testme [x y z]
($= x * (y + z) = x * z + y * z))
Exactly, energy that one can't use,and do they like do a chromatographic separation before calorimetry or what??

I also do wonder about the calories in ethanol. Apparently its immediate metabolism does produce a few atp, but the fact that hangover cures are universally high calorie foods suggests that the downstream steps might be endothermic or rate limited by fat, if that's even possible
i definitely agree you should not be downvoted for offering an alternative perspective
I talked to a lawyer friend of mine and he confirms that the law is pretty broad, but not that bad. A person using TOR won't be targeted on this, they already have laws to get buyer & seller.
Being owned and funded by right-wing billionaires.
One could also see that as evidence that traditional media outlets are holding on to an out of date business model and have at the same time lost the middle-right/right audience. The only media catering to their frame of looking at news are Fox or digital-only news services that fully embrace the free-news experience.
Doesn’t it seem strange that they needed to hire “industry experts” 10 years into Android’s existence instead of thinking in these terms from day one?
This is news? Gawd I feel old.
>I don't think I'm a high profile enough target that somebody would bother sifting through everything I say in front of my laptop for something interesting.

The threat model is closer to automated transcription, global history search, and parallel construction.
This thesis ignores emergent properties of anonymous speech at scale, particularly when it's difficult or impossible to distinguish between real and automated "speech". The statement:

Most Anonymous speakers are actually centrists want to engage in debate with out fear of retribution by the extremist on both sides.

Not only would require significant evidence, but would need to specifically address the current issue of automated political speech online in order to be taken seriously.
I'm not sure what you mean. Certainly many people would have noticed if OpenBSD's networking was generally half as fast as it's supposed to be. It must be something related to your specific configuration (not necessarily just software).
I support a variant of single payer healthcare too: you pay for your own healthcare out of pocket. All this requires is that wages be high enough and health care costs be controlled. If this sounds impossible, you should consider that it was how our system worked in the USA in living memory.
I don't understand why productive, morning people are perceived as annoying.
Right now most chatbot widgets are scripted and require forethought from the admin or business owner. So it's pretty hard figuring out the comment questions on your own or formulating them over time. Even harder when you don't know your customer journey or haven't solidified the ideal customer fit.

This is exactly why I created a bot [1] that blends chatbots and Stack Overflow together. You can have an automated first-line support system without scripting or conversational dances.

- Instead of conversations, you can reuse previous question/answers.
- Instead of guessing FAQs, you can let your users define them for you.
- When questions don't exist, they get catched in the traditional support flow (email). Then overtime, this effort declines.

Perhaps app stores exist less to improve the lives of consumers and more for OS companies to get a percentage of all software sales on their platform.
Before talking about cashless society they should allow anonymous bank cards and anonymous cryptocurrencies. Otherwise it is an Orwellian surveillance state. The government doesn't want better and convenient payment system, they just want to be able to see all transactions between citizens and to be able arrest their money. Today you agree to the cashless society, tomorrow you are assigned a social rating.
Oh believe me, I sat in my car outside for an hour before I even forced myself to go into the ER. I was afraid of doctors, hadn't been in years, and my first foray since then would be taking myself to the ER. I was terrified.

And.. it wasn't bad at all. I'd never had surgery. They knocked me out and I woke up and didn't even know it was over with until I checked my stomach for the scar.
I remember when I heard about my uncle passing away in America. He had the symptoms this lady had. For some reason he didn't go to the doctor, and it really puzzled me. At the time I'd put it down to inherited stubbornness, because my dad had had the same thing happen as well and would only go to the hospital because I forced him to.

Now I'm wondering whether my uncle was simply scared of the bill. I found out he'd told colleagues he was feeling numb on one side and had blurry vision, yet still didn't go to the hospital.

My uncle died, it was more serious that he thought.

My dad survived and still lives. In Denmark you rarely think about the cost, but rather the queue to see a doctor (if you have something minor, you might wait a long time). The doctors knew what was going on immediately, so it wasn't a long wait.

Is it common for blue collar workers to be without health insurance in the US? I don't want to ask my cousins about it, too painful and it would probably trigger a big rant about healthcare.

Also, if your healthcare is tied to your job, what do you do between jobs? Just be really careful when chopping the onions?

Getting to work by 6am usually means he drove without many cars on the road.
It should be noted though that this study does not say that an Apple Watch will overall provide medical benefits. It also doesn't follow automatically from the fact that it detects things with a certain reliability.

The interactions of early detection and medical benefits and downsides are complicated and it will require a lot more science to figure out whether a device like an Apple Watch can provide benefit.
If you make American-level software engineer salary in Sweden, your EFFECTIVE (not marginal, effective) tax rate is a freaking 55% - at least that’s the number given to me by a recruiter whi tried to bring me there. Also, you pay 25% VAT. I’m sorry, but that’s a bit outrageous.
Is there something similar in Chrome?
That doesn't make sense to me. You're saying if you sell someone something, you have a lifelong moral obligation to never criticize them?

You must have meant a weaker version of that but just the general form of it doesn't feel right.

In the same way statistical spam filters are junk† science. They suffer from false positives/negatives issues, but they perform a lot better than coin toss.

† Granted spam filters literally deal with junk..
There are many instances where competitors are more or less disadvantaged because the owner of the platform is also competing. Does your favorite supermarket have a store brand? Are you against that?
That reminds me: Does anybody know of any US crowdfunding sites that are not hostile to sex workers? That seems unlikely after FOSTA, but it does not hurt to ask, and I figure this would be the place to do it.
Edit - yep, the event producer manages and increments the vector clock.

---

I've not really used Kafka, so couldn't comment on that. I did some work for a customer that involved multi-DC microservices with isolated databases (ie one DB per DC). We used event sourcing with vector clocks to do manual reconciliation of the databases including during partition. Reconciliation involved custom logic depending on the event type, so not sure how a transport mechanism like Kafka would handle that.

A talk about the approach is here: https://youtu.be/hYVh8PbbeJw

I get to vector clocks at the end.
de-magnetised while hot is not the same as demagnetised by .. misunderstood what was being said. I thought it was a permanent de-magnetisation
I don't think that's what this article is about. Everyone has predispositions. There are some techniques that work for many people. This person is just sharing theirs in case it helps someone else.

I agree, but what I think I mean is, whatever theyre making on my direct deposit (probably $10 a month in fees to my employer) is less than the 0.83% of xx,xxx in my checking :)

I would surely love 2% on my checking though! I thought 2% was on cash back, I will need to search for 2% checking with no restrictions somewhere
A fair bit of that can be easily explained as cargo cult - a fair number of developers simply believe, because it's how they've been taught and what's been stated as fact over and over and over, that OOP is just 'how you write code'.

You left out 8 years of Obama somewhere in there.

A lot of conservatives see the value in private arrangements (ie social capital) over public programs certainly, but I think their pro big business policies and suburbanization, inequality etc drive social atomization at least as much as the lefts policies do. Its a complicated problem and as long as we remain deeply commited to economic growth and individualism its hard for me to see how we can solve it.
Breitbart's staffing seems also incredibly small. I don't think they produce more than 10 stories per day, with most of them just rewrites of other stories and putting their ideological spin to it. You can do this with maybe 3-5 editors and some freelancers. I suspect they are highly profitable.
The way I've switched from a 'wake-at-2-pm' kind of person to a 'wake-at-6-am' kind of person is setting an alarm, popping 200mg caffeine + 200mg modafinil, then going back to bed. In 10 minutes I'll be right back up and ready to go to the gym and go about my day. I've started dialing back the modafinil since it seems unnecessary to get up anymore and I have some ethical concerns (see comment below.)

I'll also +1 the friction removal concept -- laying out my gym clothes the night before really helps me get out the door as soon as I'm up in the morning. Otherwise, I'll tend to want to go back to bed.
That's not likely to happen for both licensing and technical reasons. CDDL is not an acceptable license. And OpenBSD also has no extant framework for loadable kernel modules, nor any desire to add one (increasing attack surface).
I don't have too much knowledge about how the delivery of apps in iOS store works, but I could infer that it is not only hosting files. They need at least to keep multiple versions and delivery the one that fits the proper iOS version of the device. And, based on my experience with delivering desktop apps I think there is much more to that.
For example I was just delivering one single app to customers and still I needed to allocate time to infrastructure and versioning and automating some tasks and signing the code and much more.

I imagine that for an iOS store there is more.
Mind over Matter – A Weekly Newsletter about Mental Health in Tech
Mind//Matter is a journey into mental health in the creative + tech sectors. We explore, together, how mental health issues affect us, and how we can manage (or overcome) them.

I started experiencing mental health issues in my early twenties - regular bouts of anxiety, depression, loneliness, and good ol’ stress. Whilst living with these, I’ve worked for a number of technology companies and started 2 creative businesses. I’ve experienced the best (and worst) examples of how these conditions can manifest, how we talk about them, and how startups treat employees with mental health conditions.

Everybody is completely unique in the makeup of their mental health. I’ve always found that being part of a community helps, but I’ve always struggled to open up about my mental health to those around me. This is why I’ve built Mind//Matter - to help those like me.

Every newsletter comes packed with open and honest discussion, short essays, and weekly activities to help you work better, think smarter and be more creative

If I go to an Apple store and buy a mouse would it be reasonable for them to add on $300 for keeping iMacs in stock just in case I'd wanted one?
"It's only a way of putting myself in the right position for that ideal public. Because the danger is to please an immediate public—that comes around you and takes you in and accepts you and gives you success and everything. Instead of that, if you wait for your public, that should come 50 years.. 100 years after your death, that's the right public I want."

"It's a habit, a repetition long enough to become 'taste'. If you cut it short (after you've done it), it stays as a thing by itself. But if it's repeated a number of times, it becomes a taste."
This is specifically the reason why I changed from a person that got in barely at 10am to somebody that comes in at 6am.

Way less traffic and that cuts my commute down by half. (1hour to 30 min)

And I found I actually like 2-3 hours of no distractions at the beginning of the day.

When I came in at 10am, it was 0-100 almost immediately because somebody always wanted something.

Took me a good month though to actually learn to go to sleep before 11pm. Originally whenever I slept before 11pm, even if I was dead tired, I would wake up at 2-3 am and not be able to sleep again.
It’s even simpler. By default, for instance, third party keyboards don’t have network access and you have to explicitly go through settings to give it access and then you get a big scary warning.
It is not 'junk' as long as Federal Agencies use it!!
Sounds like the key to a productive, quiet morning is to work from home, or get up at 4:30am in order to avoid traffic and get to work by 6am. I think I prefer the former.
Sort of by definition--at least for success in their lifetime.

Productivity can also play a role. A lot of legitimately great artists also have/had workshops to help them produce more and also reuse/rework work for a lot of different purposes. Consider Rodin and Chihuly for example.
Learning new languages is considered to be one of the highest costs a developer can pay. To be fair, there is a cost to picking up a new language, but nowhere near as high as is often believed, especially after one has learned two or three significantly different ones.

I'd argue that those languages don't see as much use in great part because they are not the first languages people are exposed to, and therefore most decide it's not worth the effort to learn them.
Actually I think very few OpenBSD people would notice if under load OpenBSD was significantly slower than Linux because very few OpenBSD people deploy in situation where they can do sustained parallel load tests.

Linux has BBR. OpenBSD doesn't have BBR. The difference between BBR and Cubic or classic TCP is immense.
Even so, this can be changed via environment. I had a big predisposition to being a night owl in the past, often sleeping between 1 - 3 am, but after I enlisted in the military, being an early bird has stuck with me ever since. I often wake up 5-6 am and go to sleep ~10-11 pm, sometimes closer to 9, sometimes later.

For me, not using alarms to wake up in general, and sleeping earlier works wonders. I also adjusted to having less sleep as a result of the forced sleeplessness of military life.

I agree entirely. But besides run for office (soon) and maxing out my FEC contribution limits (which I already do) to candidates who support policies that align with what you mentioned, this is the only alternative I can suggest. Tactical short term suffering reduction, strategic long term suffering reduction.

Through both ideas and actions, you scale a compassionate society. A better tomorrow will hopefully arrive, but do what you can today with what you have.

Extremely small sample size (of two), but I used to be a night owl, and in my old(er) age I've definitely become a morning person. Same with my wife. It's not unusual for us to be in bed by 8pm. My point is that being a morning/night person might be changeable.
That property is not universal, and it is currently being defined for Python dictionaries. You can't break a property that isn't defined yet. ;-)
If one is a blue collar worker for a large corp (not a small biz), he/she usually have a health insurance. However, it comes with lots of co payments, out-of-network payments, etc; this can ruin a person financially.

Many employees of small businesses don't have insurance or super crappy insurance with lots of copayments.

How about Uber drivers? They don't have any health insurance.
Sort of by definition--at least for success in their lifetime.

Seems to me that this also applies posthumously, but there are other people doing the branding for them.

How is this, from your link, the government bargaining on medical costs?

> but the plan bypasses an obvious remedy - one that President Donald Trump embraced as a candidate: allowing Medicare to negotiate drug prices directly with pharmaceutical companies.

To me (non-english native speaker) it reads as if though they are literally not allowed to negotiate.

When it comes to schools, here (Sweden) the government negotiates how much money the schools get per student, not just the interest rates of loans. Lowering interest rates means students can afford a higher loan. None of this is comparable to negotiating costs.
I usually listen to music via the browser, so that's not a great option for me :/

I am using FB the same way. The only thing left making it useful are the groups and the event calendar function. Meetup still seems mostly driven by tech or some super niche topics while FB carters to a broad audience.
Healthcare gets funded in each country by a combination of taxes and people paying out of pocket. In the U.S. employer subsidized health care insurance should be viewed as part of an employee’s compensation. What matters in such discussions is not the tax rate but the overall spending per capita and how much it costs at point of contact. The relevant facts are that the U.S. spends far more per capita and costs far more at point of contact than every other OECD country.

I think the person you responded to was attempting to point out that Sweden’s healthcare costs come mostly from taxes and is cheap at point of contact. I don’t believe they meant to give the impression that taxes in the U.S. are higher than in Sweden.
And that's what said other rival left leaning Media outlet's. Nice.
