Parents of first graders who had been murdered at Sandy Hook have had to deal with the same thing: people claiming it's all fake and they were actors. It's awful. I simply can't fathom what's wrong with these people. Maybe there's a lot more mental illness in the United States than we care to admit? I really don't know.

There are 2 types of unions (in general). There are skilled trade unions (plumbers, electritians, etc) and strictly labor unions (TSA, agriculture laborers, etc). If they are unionizing as a skilled trade union and the union is thus ensuring training and quality of the labor, then i think it is a great idea. If they are unionizing as a strictly labor union, then i see no value to either management or the employees in the long term.
From reading the article, it looks like it is likely the later instead of the former.
One of my primary online annoyances is having to maintain two Firefox installations because most of my favored extensions can't or won't be rewritten for WebExtensions and I find the practice of forcing users to keep currently open tabs above the bookmarks bar contemptuous.
I am asking whether it is legitimate or not, I can't help but think how incredibly well it also applies to gangs when I hear that argument.

If more money is paid to individual employees just because they demanded the added cost to the employer makes them inherently less competitive and therefore able to earn less and therefore pay said employees lower wages over time or go out of business.

>>The most important thing to realize is that they are focusing on gamers as a trial, the people who are price sensitive and who have to move first off of Windows 7 since they can't pay for extended support even if they wanted it. They can then continue this into the workplace. This is a brilliant move by Google.

What gamers are still on Win7? Most are already on 10. Most legit gamers care about input lag, which a streaming service will never solve vs. having hardware wired to your monitor. Most legit gamers use a wired mouse for gods sake because of input lag introduced to wireless mice.
Local type inference[1] means you can write:

The static initialisation methods on collections[2] let you write

var foo = List.of(1, 2, 3);

You're confusing having seen objectionable material with distributing that objectionable material. It's the distribution that is an offense.
> For example ES could buy out rights for independent development, or they could simply pay part of their income to the original developers.

This sounds exactly like a lot of proprietary software licensing agreements :)

>Having constraints for selling and building on other people's work doesn't mean that one shouldn't be able to do it, just that previous link in the chain should be financially rewarded for it.

I don't think there's anything wrong with building and selling proprietary software, but that's really what's being described here.

If financial reward is what you most care about, write proprietary software. If FOSS is what you care most about, then the AGPL is probably a good fit for you. It won't force anyone to pay you for using your work, but it would force them to give back to the community.

I have a huge problem with tab clutter; every computer I have, every browser, has lots of open tabs, long-term.

I have no idea what to do with them. Even something as simple as "read them" is .. and then what, close and forget them?

No idea what I even want to achieve - integrate them into my life in some hoarder kind of "this will make me a better, more knowledgeable person" way?
A lot of the people who work hardest, horrible hours out int he cold doing hard labour before you wake up, only make a reasonable living because of unions.

People have literally fought and died for the right to unions, for unions to be taken seriously. A bunch privileged silicon valley tech workers (not me, I'm a privileged seattle based tech worker, totally different ;) ) write off unions as inefficient and useless.
Basecamp is always on the latest or beta version of rails, Rails 6 at the moment. GitHub has recently updated to version 5 and are merging a large mount of their scaling gems for version 6.

New Zealand would cave in 24 hours if all the big internet companies presented a unified front against the censorship, making the video available within https as part of every service. There is no way New Zealand would cut off every email provider, every VPN provider, facebook, twitter, every search engine home page, etc.

Failing to take a stand means that ultimately the most intolerant place gets to censor the internet. You may remember that the Taliban banned all photos of humans, even if clothed and male.
Wouldn't the Spacetime Cube be just as vulnerable to the perpendicularity problem, though? It might have more sensitivity in near-perpendicular cases, but that's simply because there are more detectors.
I think it depends on how heavy handed the union is. I've never not been able to take vacation when I wanted to. Theoretically it could be denied if I didn't give enough advance notice, but that has never happened. It doesn't seem any more or less adversarial than a company where you're entirely at the mercy of your management.
Where does this soldier -> lawyer etc formulation come from? Interesting idea!

The term for this "class consciousness." It's not that the value isn't there, it's that you don't see it.
Dispite the argument that it plays into the cloud providers hands, open source has been great for software. For example ASPNET MVC would probably not exist with Ruby on Rails.

This article tries to explain:

https://www.forbes.com/sites/startswithabang/2018/09/15/ask-...

"Ask Ethan: If Light Contracts And Expands With Space, How Do We Detect Gravitational Waves?"

It also links to the FAQ at LIGO:

https://www.ligo.caltech.edu/page/faq

which for this question ends with:

"This varying pattern of misaligned laser beams, observed and recorded over the time it takes for the gravitational wave to pass tells us two things: 1. How much the arms changed length during the light-beams' journeys and, 2. the frequency at which, or how quickly the arms changed lengths (longer then shorter then longer, etc.) in response to the gravitational wave. This information can tell us what generated the gravitational wave in the first place.

In this scenario, the actual wavelengths of the beams of light have no bearing on the much more important interference pattern. The effects of the length changes in the arms far outweigh any change in the wavelength of the laser, so we can virtually ignore it altogether."
Choice is "do you want to <x> or <y>" not "if you don't want <x> figure out how to implement <y> on your own". That's simply known as "doing the work yourself" and is largely possible on even closed sourced systems assuming you have rights on the box.

There is nothing wrong with that but it shouldn't be conflated as choice and paraded as success of such.

I'm all for OSS, but reading things like this really make me think of the community as totally nuts. I don't have the time in my life to get this worked up over OSS, and I don't have the time to avoid the smallest paid software package. I guess I am glad that a community like this exists to push OSS forwards, but I wonder how much this pushes away more moderate people. Would the ecosystem be as easy for a moderate like me to enter were it not for these fringe envelope pushers? Would it be slightly harder to enter, but offset by the larger number of developers not alienated by the apparent gung-ho anti-establishment attitude? In the end I think it's a benefit but it does push me away.
The first definition in the very first sentence of the article you linked contradicts you. It defines normal behavior as "consistent with the most common behaviour for that person" (emphasis mine). That is, the first definition definitely doesn't depend on other people, but simply what is common for the individual.

In that way, "normality" is flexible: if you change your behavior in a consistent way, your new behavior is normal by that definition. You didn't become "abnormal" you simply redefined your normal.

Now the article goes on to mention that you could also define this relative to a larger population, etc, which supports your point - but the very fact the headline definitely doesn't align with your claim shows that this is not as straightforward as you make it out to be.
Yeah, that legislation is a pretty good way to kill unions.

It's gonna be real interesting when the working class finally has enough of this shit.
It always seems to degenerate into an "us vs them" sort of thing whenever I talk to them about where they work. Why would I ever work some place where things are so adversarial?

Maybe because the employer... made things "adversarial" by creating unhealthy / untenable / inadequately compensated working conditions in the first place?

You also end up with this 3rd party involved in everything, creating all kinds of "rules" to make things "fair".

If that's your concern, then the solution -- the only solution -- is to provide attractive (or at least reasonable) enough working conditions so that your employees don't even think of unionizing. As if they're just doing it because they're bored and have some unconscious desire for more complication in their lives or something.

The implicit message behind your critique is that employees who seek to unionize must be basically kind of stupid for not seeing the downsides to going the unionization route. When in reality... it's just a tradeoff. And a tradeoff they see little resource but to take, in view of the unreasonable working conditions (and essentially, if-you-don't-like-it-then-go-fuck-yourselves) negotiating stances taken by their employers.

One web annoyance I have recently discovered is moving the current tab. So far only one website I know uses it, but that is really annoying... when you click on specific links on that site, it suddenly moves the ative tab to the very right of all open tabs. I don't understand the reasoning there, but it made me ponder learning Firefox addon development several times already... or is something like that also easily fixed in Firefox?
8? I see more 7 or even 6. Until recently I actually thought 8 was the latest until I needed to develop a small project and discovered we were at 11.

Actually, looking at the version history, I guess it's not weird that I thought 8 was pretty recent, as until 1.5 years ago (Sept '17) it was actually the latest and it is still supported until 2020 (unlike 9 and 10).

Where do you want to be? Everything so far tells me you want to write web apps for someone else. Nothing wrong with that, but personally I hate it. You are not me though, I could tell you the things you need to learn to be just like me, but you might hate the work I do.

The good news: you don't need to decide yet. You are 14 which means nobody will expect you be more than a rank beginner for the next 8 years or more! Take your time now to explore things to see what you like. Get an aurduino kit and make LEDs flash, advancing to running motors. Try some chemistry (I have no clue how to get into this - figure it out). Learn to play piano. Write a bad novel. The point of all this is to taste your options.

When you are 17 you need to decide what college to go to (this is partially a matter of who will let you in). Over the next 3 years you need to make sure you know where you want to go well enough that your college choice can get you there, the details can come latter. Even when you are college you have a few years before you have to commit to a major, the first 2 years of computer science are mostly the same as the first 2 years of mechanical engineering or physics.

The point of all this is to see what you like and what door open. If you like the electrical engineering professors that is a sign to go that way.

Don't forget to look at the charts of what various professions make once in a while. When you like two things - pay is a powerful factor to change direction.

Getting a consistent latency to their edge servers is going to be tricky.

Wifi for instance is completely out. All it takes is someone turning on the wrong blender/micowave/power adapter and just the smallest bit of RF pollution will put you into unusable territory. Gets harder as your population density rises.

You can already see this with in-house streaming today. I can stream Netflix but my local LAN XBOne streaming is pretty unusable for things like Monster Hunter.

As your population density lowers the chance of you having the sub-30ms latency w/ 0% loss decreases significantly.

Like I said in the root, they'll able to get this to work for non-action(~200ms window) singleplayer titles, the idea that you could use this for multiplayer is laughable.

I haven't actually seen the video in question, but on a general level I'm confused why everyone is so up in arms here. Do we really want Facebook to be even more aggressive in censorship of its content? Do we want them to use realtime ML to automatically determine if a livestreem video is bad? [1] They removed the video promptly after receiving reports about it. They also proactively block people from uploading copies. What more do we want? Maybe we are misdirecting our anger about the violence?

[1] "Bad" is a very loose term that changes over time. When advocating for this kind of tech and strict content rules, we are also codifying a set of moral standards to define "bad", so we should tread carefully. Not everything is as clearcut bad as this video, and it's not a huge jump to apply this to other "objectionable" media, which is not the world I want to be pushing for.
It does say applicants who do not meet those criteria will be evaluated on a case by case basis, though.

which is simply that people are acting in their own self-interests. And yes, this includes the folks who believe they have an unalienable right to live in the Bay area.

It's not actually in people's self interest. A society that creates severe divisions courts social unrest. Perceptions of relative status are directly linked to social unrest and lawlessness. This is operating in people at a level below consciousness, and the evolutionary roots of it probably predate human language.

Of course, no one has an "unalienable right to live in the Bay area." This is technically correct. However, it's still pretty crappy if the Bay Area prices-out everyone except for techies living there. Just because you can buy it, doesn't mean you should. Just because you can keep it for yourself, doesn't mean you necessarily should.

It may well be a misinterpretation of Barcelona's zoning code. Apologies if I gave you the impression that I was familiar with that law.

What I'm saying is that it would make sense to me if a zoning code (or other regulations) were to include a requirement to actually use the land/property for the designated purpose (if possible) or swiftly sell it to someone who will. That wouldn't compell anyone to be a landlord.

In my view, such a rule would be completely consistent with the usual meaning of the words "use" and "purpose" and it would be consistent with the fine.
