If you use a lot of borrowed money, you need that money to be invested in a way that will generate wealth that you can use to pay interests on the debt you created.

The nazis used most of that money to build their army. If they hadn't used that army, it would have been wasted money, which in no way could have repaid the debt.

Democratic governments can - and should - borrow to invest if they see an opportunity for future growth. But you can't create those opportunities out of thin air.

Not all family members would consider relocating and leaving their current jobs to become a full time stay-at-home parent, solely because of the cost of living. On the other hand, I know many would appreciate the chance of being full-time with the kids and why not do it in Switzerland.

Its just something to really think about should you be in a position where you might relocate. Either to make sure you can afford child care or that your partner is ok with not working.
"This is the result of a massacre, stoked by people like you and the words you put out [...] 49 people died because of the rhetoric you put out there."

Those are the words that were used to accuse Chelsea Clinton of being responsible for the attack - which means according to those who confronted Chelsea Clinton she would meet the standard you have just set.

That's 110 MiB on average per page, and almost 15 MiB per image. What kind of page did you have that justified that enormous size in the first place?
Emacs.

I say that seriously, as a VIM user.
I believe that vim supports the language server protocol via a (some?) plugin(s), and that pyrite provides a lsp mode, so you should be able to use them together. Note that you would be running vim and node to write python code, which seems like a lot of different languages to me, but I’m mostly an emacs person, so...

This is an excellent guide! A must read for web developers.

I am really glad we invested in automated image optimization where I work. We run a couple of large real-estate websites and we store tens of millions of images and process thousands a day. Optimizing all of them from the start was one of the best things we did.

When an image gets uploaded, we re-encode it with MozJPEG and WebP and then create thumbnails in five different sizes and upload them all to S3. They get served through a CDN. We initially did the re-encoding and scaling on the fly and then cache them forever. But MozJPEG is really slow so we changed the system to pre-process everything.

When we first implemented this two years ago, Chrome was the only browser that supported WebP. This investment really paid off as all major browsers now support WebP. The website loads really quickly and images rarely give us problems.
I'm walking, cycling and driving, with more of the first and the latter, and I fully agree that we need more bikeable cities.

But I strongly dislike Critical Mass and bike activists in general. They are hateful (especially towards pedestrians) and don't know any other topic of conversation.

And they have this attitude where incremental improvements don't count, we need to have a day X where all streets are torn up and bike utopia is built overnight.
Get the fuck out of here.

Yeah, no. None of this is enough to decide whether he's any good at talking to women. Plenty of guys are social, but find it hard to talk to attractive girls.
The entire history in Europe of the past 2,000 years is precisely this - the preference for equality over excellence.

See: Beyond Good and Evil, Nietzsche.
The assumption here - "autistic people are arseholes" - is probably untrue, and is a perception caused by the number of arseholes who self-diagnose but who wouldn't get an actual dx, and who then use that as an excuse to continue to behave like arseholes.

I know a lot of autistic people, and a few of them are arseholes, but they are entirely ordinary arseholes. Their arseholery is very much the same as the arseholery from NT people, which makes me think it's not the autism.
It’s the digital age, banning something isn’t the same as it was 100 years ago. A ban won’t remove something from the internet but it will stop people freely sharing that crap around.

I think the strongest argument against gene editing is the tendency for societal biases to be taken to the extreme. Gene editing is drastic and has the potential to greatly reduce genetic diversity in a population since people tend to want to become “normal”, or meme certain popular traits. If you gave minorities the ability to become a white males in America, would they? Certainly many would and it would mean losing the benefits of such diversity we currently have, even if it’s tougher for many people to be non-white male.

See “Chinese footbinding”, “injecting cement into posteriors for beauty”, “plastic surgery” for examples of the absuridty people will go to to fit in.
I think that was the author's point to some extent: it's probably ok to ignore this problem, but you should know it exists.
Aren't you giving an interpretation that just isn't compatible with the literal meaning of disability? Doesn't it literally mean "unable"? That doesn't sound like a word you'd want to live up to. Maybe something like "challenged" would fit your definition better?
I suspect there are a group of Airbnb users who never look at hotels at all because "they're more expensive" and so higher price worse units can and probably do get sold.
In addition to the (extremely pertinent) answer above, there are advantages to dynamically typed languages in some cases, so it shouldn’t be surprising/confusing that sometimes “dynamic typing plus optional type checking with zero run-time overhead” is the best (or at least very good) of both worlds.
Even lower hanging fruit than optimising compression, is actually choosing the right image format in the first place. Put simply (very simply I may add), if it’s an illustration, use PNG, if it’s a photo, use JPEG. Once we’re over that hurdle, we can go onto managing compression techniques and attempting advanced formats such as SVG and WEBP.

All too often I’ve seen people encoding 8MP photos as PNGs and wondering why they’re all 50MB in size.

Next on the hit list is outputting images at the right size. If the image is never going to be shown greater than 500px wide, save a copy that’s 500px wide. WordPress has this feature built in- learn to use it if that’s your flavour of CMS. Your bounce rate will go down, I guarantee it.
I think all K-Sig products are rebrands: the coffee beans are Starbucks (see the bag), the beers and liquors are brewed/distilled by one of the big three brewers (see the bottles)... I was about to type more but found a thorough Quora explanation: https://www.quora.com/Is-Costcos-Kirkland-Signature-brand-re...

The CNN article sort of side steps the issue, but does consistently call Kirklnad Signature a “brand” as opposed to “product line” or the like.
This looks nice! Judging by your comment history, you are the founder of Gumlet, or an employee.

This is why censorship is so dangerous. I immediately thought of 3 attacks following NZ that could be interpreted as reprisals. I was completely unsurprised to see that no further details have been released in the week between then and now. We only know that the perpetrators were migrants from troubled parts of the world, and were already known to authorities - having developed criminal records since their arrival. A priest was stabbed in Canada, 3 people were killed in the Netherlands (3 more wounded), a bus in Italy with 52 children onboard was set ablaze. The spokesman for ISIS called for attacks after several months of radio silence, Erdoğan has been stirring his people up (which has historically resulted in violence).

Were you unaware of these events, or do you consider them normal? If you were unaware of them, do you think that is a result of selective reporting? I can tell you that absolutely no in depth reporting has occurred - no effort beyond that of news wire copy-paste.
The article doesn't mention Toby Fox. Therefore it is complete shit
Good points.

Berlin has definitively a bigger Startup scene and generally more companies to pick from than Zurich.

In terms of salary you have to also account for taxes (100k in Germany will be taxed at around 45% and in Switzerland (Zurich) around 30%.

> I believe a number of the Kirkland products are just rebrands.

Store brand products are almost invariably made by manufacturers that have their own, non-store brands. Retailers aren't investing in buying production facilities for every kind of product they want a store brand for, they are paying manufacturers in the industry to make a store brand, which may or may not be distinct (aside from packaging) from products sold under non-store brands.

At LastCo I heard the project manager and scrum master joke behind my back "we'll just have the autist with OCD do the programming" while referring to me. In their mind lacking a "theory of mind" also includes not having any peripheral hearing.
To your point, there is much repressed anger, since the default attitude is to put up with things not to inconvenience others, a situation arising sometimes simply out of not speaking out on a problem. Which is wonderful in daily interaction as there seems to be no friction or unpleasantness as is the case often if not always in the West, where everyone complains and fidgets about everything. But, it’s been mentioned already I think, how extreme politeness in Japan can in fact be passive aggression in full force. And there's the occasional explosion of course.

Banning all schools will affect all children.

Banning gene-editing will effect the children of the wealthy, or those who's parents chose to go that route.

A better example will be banning private schools, but even then, that requires the child to at least work hard and the parents to constantly invest for a child to get any value out of it, as oppose to gene editing.

Django has quite a lot of "magic" as well. There is work being done on a mypy plugin to support this magic in addition to type stubs. It is already quite usable and supports type-checking many common patterns: https://github.com/mkurnikov/django-stubs

It's not the same thing. Instead of cutting off access, display an alert and then hobble the experience (rate of game item gain drops by 50%, disable challenges). It's a lot more softer way to get out of playing instead of just turning off Internet or even the whole computer.
I'm not really sure where to start here. There was more "excellence" in the Roman Republic and prior times than the following 2000 years of European history?

This is a familiar critique that seems to conflate the modern self-esteem craze, communism, and the utopian "equality of outcome" with the traditional religiously based idea of equality, which is that every soul is made in the image of and has equal responsibility before God and that's it. The Lockean idea of human rights is cladistically derived from this.

Those without Xray vision shouldn't be expected to understand the downsides: imagine if you can always see what's inside a gift, or who is hiding behind a door?

Whilst it seems only positive, you lose out on something that's a fundamental part of ocular-typical upbringing.

Indeed babies learn, eg through "peekaboo" (a game in which an adult hides their face from a baby), about object permanence in part by not being able to see things and then to have them revealed. Peekabo also is the beginnings of parental detachment, learning to cope when you can't see your mother (or current favourite carer).

That sort of developmental difference could have untold social effects.

There are huge temptations to cope with, not just sexually. "I left the book in my locker" - well with Xray vision I don't have to accept the lie but can verify it for myself. "My sister's not home, sorry", well of course Supe-y can see she is, and [I think, with the Xray vision he has] see who she's texting "Superman can be a real jerk" to.

TL;DR -- One thing Superman may not see is the damage he's doing by not respecting personal boundaries, and by not playing along with people's white lies ...
This is really impressive actually. The thought didn't cross my mind to just use webassembly for webp decoding.
We don't have to wait for the massacres and wait for the accusations. Inciting rhetoric can be defined. "Go kill them" is already illegal rhetoric. Why isn't "Get your guns and be ready. Something is happening. We are at war. They're coming to kill us."

Violence, other than in direct physical self defense, should be the exclusive domain of the state.
Should we ban religious texts then too?
They still do it, even more so than once upon a time.

Iraq, Pakistan, overthrowing regimes vis CIA while partnering with Drug cartels, forcing out Iran’s regime, forcing other countries to cut off Iran after forcing out Iran’s regime, using Israel to project military power in the Middle East, cutting off aid if countries legalize certain drugs.

These are all soft power projections that have similar effects to the “modern colonizing” of China. There’s no hard evidence that the lending and infrastructure projects are bad. But somehow it seems that unless China donates a free pair of shoes for every pair of shoe sold to destroy the local shoe economy, it must be bad? Donations are bad, but true business deals are what’s required, and they may not appear purely altruistic because they aren’t.
We actually do this on the frontend with Vue.js computed properties. Triggers will certainly do that in the backend, but they are bit more initial work than just a simple query.

The TEI (Text Encoding Initiative) XML format is a writing-specific XML vocabulary.

https://teibyexample.org/
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Text_Encoding_Initiative

The whole set is enormous as it can encode all kinds of modern and ancient forms of literature with many kinds of annotations, even parallel versions of the same text as often happens with old works for which there is no known “original”. You can encode scribal variations etc.

There have been several attempts to create a simplified subset that would be useful for what we could call a normal modern book, but they haven’t got very far because it is still cumbersome and the tooling needed to work effectively with it is not freely available. I’m working on such tooling in my spare time, more focused on DocBook as the vast majority of what I write is technical documentation.

The simplified subset from TEI themselves is called TEI Lite:
https://tei-c.org/guidelines/customization/lite/

If TEI sounds interesting to you, there is an application called TEI Publisher, Free Software under the GPLv3, that you might use:
https://teipublisher.com/

Actually, looking at it again it now looks quite good. I’ll give it a try later.

Edit 24 minutes later: tried to install TEI Publisher, it works on top of the eXist XML DB, and after installing it, starting it gives me an “Exception in thread "AWT-EventQueue-0" java.lang.NullPointerException”. Ah well...

The problem is not really the inventive way of implementing the game penalization (instead of cutting off access hobble the game experience). It is quite a clever and soft way to wane off the game.

The problem is that it is imposed on players without them having a recourse or the possibility to adapt the mechanism to their own benefit (like parents trying to curtail children's playing time, or if you want to limit your own playing time tonight because tomorrow you have to get up early).
That doesn’t sound like “at-most-once”. What if your consumer crashed after processing the message but before committing the offset?
> and no existing indictment has been due to collusion.

The Pappadopolous indictment and conviction-by-guilty-plea was for (lying about) Trump-campaign initiated attempted collusion, in which Pappadopolous acted with the knowledge and approval of higher officials in the Trump campaign.

The Stone indictment is for (lying about) collusion with WikiLeaks on the release of information that, per other indictments, was being released as part of a Russian propaganda operation.

So, no, it's entirely false to say “no existing indictment has been due to collusion”.

> There may be other offenses that Trump have committed, but that is even MORE speculation.

That's not really speculation, either; it's not as if the identity of the unindicted coconspirator Individual 1 in the Cohen indictment out of SDNY is a mystery.
I see no reason why they would assemble anything in California, with its high cost of living and higher minimum wage, when they could just design and assemble everything in their own backyard for way cheaper. Cool slogan though.

I do see vore's point. By aborting, you just deprive the gene pool of some genes that are on average not much different from anyone else's. But by using CRISPR, you're adding potentially damaging stuff to the overall human gene pool.

However, one could say the same about people who get exposed to mutagenic chemicals or radiation. Even through choice, as with airline crews. And once you start setting rules about who can reproduce, you have the specter of eugenics.
