This touches on something I've seen in (some, not all) large open source communities: the language used on a daily basis. The default tone is one devoid of empathy or understanding.

> This update is shit.

or

> [new build gets published, person's pet bug doesn't get addressed]
> The devs are lazy.

At what point did this sort of tone get normalized? I initially chalked it down to non-native English speakers using verbiage from forums and IRC channels, but over time I've observed that isn't the case.

How to Keep Scientific Innovation Alive
What you don't understand is that Google doesn't like things that "move slow". If the product doesn't get enough attention or for whatever reason Google may pull the plug and you have no immediate replacement/open source version. Now that you mentioned that the industry moves slow I can actually see sunsetting blog post. Note this is from Google Plus but could apply to any product:

There are a bunch of gotchas on the WARN act, and companies in America are really good at fudging around to avoid having to make notifications.

> The WARN Act is not activated when a covered employer:

> * closes a temporary facility or completes a temporary project, and the employees working in the facility or temporary project were hired with the clear understanding that their employment would end with the closing of the work facility or the completion of the project; or

> * closes a facility or operating unit because of a strike or a worker lock-out, and the closing is not intended to evade the purposes of the WARN Act.

> * If a plant closing or a mass layoff results in fewer than 50 workers losing their jobs at a single employment site;

> * If 50 to 499 workers lose their jobs and that number is less than 33 percent of the employer's total, active workforce at a single employment site;

> * If a layoff is for 6 months or less; or

> * If work hours are not reduced 50 percent in each month of any 6-month period
Did I say anything at all to insinuate that?

No.

The death of a family member can change the entire family dynamic, and greed is a powerful emotion that knows no political or religious boundaries.
> but it's not a traditional publisher either

Then maybe it shouldn't behave like one. FB actively selects articles to show on your feed - via algorithm, instead via human, but the effect is the same.

That is a choice they could easily undo. It is also a choice a large number of people would be happy to see. ("I just want my feed ordered by date, no filtering" is a very common request). The only reason that doesn't happen is that the enragement metrics go up if you select what you present to people.

So FB is deliberately choosing articles to show you, and it is making that selection for monetary gain. How is that not a publisher?
It's the American way! Leave a steaming pile of shit behind and laugh at the next idiot for stepping in it.

>We've outlawed child pornography and that hasn't led us down any slippery slopes.

Has it not? Many jurisdictions outlaw even computer generated porn depicting minors. We’ve essentially banned people of certain sexual orientation from consuming any porn at all, how is that not a slippery slope?

But hey, I guess lots of people want to live in a world where perverts go to prison for jerking off to anime girls.

It could still bear a weird sort of fruit.

We don't want to burn even all of our existing already-being-extracted oil fields, but chances are we'll always be extracting some oil.

So what's the highest quality, cheapest to extract, least environmentally damaging oil we could extract? Should we extract as much oil as we can from our current fields or shut them down and go elsewhere? Should we drain any field we are using completely dry or should we just take some from a lot of sites before shutting each down? Is it better to frack site A or put a deepwater rig at site B or a conventional well at site C?

I could imagine a golden future where petroleum is a relatively minor but important resource, and where all the exploration now is a valuable dataset for deciding the most ethical way to extract it.
The combination of people fighting oil production in their own countries while making very few meaningful changes to their consumption patterns is a massive example of NIMBYism
America is founded on the idea that personal determination and defending individual liberties are paramount to a moral society. But now it seems we’re taking our new digital plane of existence and giving up a lot of that self determination for convienience and protection from exposure to things we don’t like.

I’m not sure how this will shake out in America versus Europe, but this seems as paradigm shifting as the civil war or the new deal. The next decade will be critical for Internet freedom.

Lower than you might think. Not only do you need to account for all the costs of developing that treatment, you also need to account for the costs to looking at a treatment that after some amount of study turns out not to work. This latter can be very expensive, and worse is an unknown cost, sometimes you are lucky and a few treatments work out, while other times you hit an unlucky streak and try a bunch of treatments that don't work out.
Sorry, I think you're right and I just read a sentiment that wasn't there.
The music industry getting rid of DRM was never about the customer - it was the only way that the music industry could both reduce Apple’s stranglehold on digital music and let competitors sell music that was compatible with Apples dominant devices.

The movie industry doesn’t have that issue. Anyone can license and sell video that works on Apple devices via an app an Apple is not dominant in the video delivery devices market like it was in the music market during the iPod era. Apple can’t dictate terms.

Getting rid of DRM was suppose to give the music industry back its power (and then Spotify happened). Getting rid of DRM doesn’t do anything for the movie industry. But most studios are happy to be a part of Movies Anywhere that let you sync purchases between Apple/Google/Amazon/Vudu.
As another commenter answered 3 and 2 (and I agree with them), i'll answer 1:

There's a difference between "has some breaking changes" and "will have basically an entirely new API, and will support different features and make different tradeoffs"

Like for instance AngularJs 1.x vs Angular 2+, or what seems like every major version of react-router, or various other examples of this that come back around and bite people. The only difference with those is that they don't have literally 10 years of documentation, blogs, SO answers, and more with no version numbers on them.

This isn't an instance where dogmatic application of the "rules" is a good idea. This is one where choosing to make a new library under a new name is the lesser of 2 evils. The hope is it will cause less problems, less confusion, less difficulty for both new and old devs, and be better for everyone.

I don't know about you, but i've absolutely spent ~30 minutes on multiple occasions trying to figure out why some documentation seems to be wrong, or a feature isn't working in a library only to realize that i'm not on the latest version or the docs don't have an easy way to go back through old versions, and it's a big timewaste as well as a source of bugs. This move is trying to prevent that!
Visual note taking has so much potential, I’m really not sure how Evernote and Pinterest cornered the market and ruined it at the same time. Same with LinkedIn, these players somehow break their whole spaces.
Labor has become more expensive than parts, for many aspects of home repair. We haven't adapted our habits to this.

The last time I let my university landlord paint my apartment, it took days to clear the furniture, and I was instructed to do no paint prep. There were peels coming down from the ceiling. The painters exploited this "paint is glue" theory by painting under the peels and pushing them flat. I channeled my desire to kill them on the spot by politely escorted them out in mid-job and never letting anyone paint for me again.

The next time I painted this apartment, I stripped the ceiling bare of its many poorly applied layers, and applied $500 of artist-grade acrylic primer and titanium white paint to the ceiling and walls. 15 years later, the apartment looks just-painted. Artist-grade acrylic paint is one of the best glues available, much more reliably so than oil paint.

In the years since, the best wall paints have come closer to artist-grade acrylic paints, and their glues are likely better tuned to typical conditions. Artist paint is more expensive and better. Carefully tuning a cheap glue is like botching an airplane hardware design and trying to fix it in software.

Later in a home, filling holes in contractor botched cabinet work, I started with artist-grade acrylic modeling putty, added just enough dye from the commercial paint manufacturer to match the existing cabinet paint, tweaked the gloss to also match, and created a one-step wood fill that disappeared into the existing paint job when dry. Much less shrinkage than commercial wood fills, and no primer or repainting needed. Again, acrylic art supplies making the best glue.
Regarding "no logs", it is true that the VPN has to check if your account is valid, or maybe how many devices you can connect. But one thing is monitoring and another, different thing is to log that information.

Also, this doesn't mean that the traffic or destination addresses are also logged at the VPN (the most important data).

But, is also true that you'll never know.

Just keep walking and ignore them. Claim your space. For some reason they find out in the last fucking second you are walking there after all and they should make space. This is just dominance, they knew you were coming and decided to ignore you.

I"m not sure what "law" you're referring to there, but I'm quite sure the Bible does not mention feeding tubes or ventilators. As a Christian, I would have no issue following someone's directives that they don't want such care (and I've made it clear to my family the very limited circumstances in which I would consent to those sorts of treatments).

A good show! It was the first thing that came to mind when seeing this article.
which is fine I think. you are entitled to your own opinion/views, as they are too.
I'm going to chime in my agreement here. I shoot film, develop at home, print in my darkroom, then scan my negatives if I ever want to share them digitally (rare-ish since the whole point of shooting film for me is to get off the computer, but like to share sometimes).

I ran Linux as a desktop for ~10 years and have just switched to OS X, but pulled in GIMP/Darktable/VueScan workflow even though I have access to the Adobe suite. I found GIMP lacking nothing granted I basically just replicate my darkroom process on the negatives when I scan them if I plan to share them digitally (dodge, burn, contrast).

I'm sure there are some advanced layering and other workflows, but I'm not really interested in doing anything I can't replicate in the darkroom. Plus as I said the entire point here is to use the computer less, but still derive joy from an old hobby.

Edit: Also, really enjoying your IG feed. Great work in your color palettes and in the tones across your black and whites as well. May be my love for the Hasselblads and 6x6 frames, but most of those work really well as straight squares as well. Nice to see another PNW photographer on here.
>Most end-of-life decisions don't involve an otherwise healthy young person who might expect another 50 or 60 years of good-quality life, they involve someone who has multiple serious health problems and is definitely going to die of something in the very immediate future.

One significant problem, at least in my experience, is when doctors take that approach with someone, based primarily on their age and on inaccurate diagnoses, who has multiple serious health problems and does not die in the very immediate future.

The common view seems like an inversion of Blackstone's ratio (better to prematurely end the life of one individual than to let however many other individuals suffer). To be fair, as a personal point of view this is fine, but it may also merge with socio-economic constraints in a really ugly way. In addition, no one I've spoken to has made any effort to even consider and explore differences in how other people experience pain or view death.

When all is said and done, it can be a real shit show.
It seems to be a standard practice: people are afraid of sabotage.

Well they already decided to fuck the audio api. You have to have a direct user gesture to play any audio.

Wasn't part of the spec and Mozilla is doing it via a page permission. Just Google about the chrome autoplay audio and you'll see plenty of issues about how they rollout features.

Google has shown this is exactly what they plan to do with their Monopoly before with chrome-specific features that require the developer to be aware of.
There are many different types of bases ("resins") many of which are incompatible which each other, and can neither be mixed nor painted over. E.g. even acrylic lacquers, you can make them as a dispersion (i.e. water based) or using a solvent. Different paints. Not compatible. Both are "acrylic".
That's why I wouldn't hire a team in a country like that in the first place.
> “I never worry about where they are selling more or less because we are too busy making it,” Tran said. “I know that I cannot make enough of my product to meet the demand, so let them have it and work together for the consumer.”

What a nice philosophy! Of course, eventually the market and the producers will mature, and every sale from one producer will be a sale lost from all other producers. But hopefully that day is far away.

Similar experience here. No one prepared me for the roller-coaster effect of subjective male attractiveness. (I'm a Man) I've always felt that you could break it up pretty well by relative status. Here's how it went for me.

- 6th grade - extraordinarily unattractive to the opposite sex.

- 8th grade - not outwardly reviled.

- 9th grade - outwardly reviled again.

- 12th grade - actually dating, with a bit of interest here or there.

- Freshman year of college - lower relative interest.

- Senior year of college - enough girls are interested that they're fighting with each other.

- 1st year in the workforce - outwardly reviled again!

- 5-10 years into the workforce - hard say, got married, so I must have been doing something right.

So, did I change much between 8th and 9th grade? Or between 12th grade and freshman year of college? No, obviously not, but my status relative to the bellcurve of available men did change quite a bit. This was most evident from my senior year to college to my first year in the workforce. I went from amazing, to worthless all due to graduation!

Please bear in mind, I'm not complaining about the nature of female preferences here. However, I do wish someone had explained that this would occur, and also why it would occur. I remember being quite surprised at the time.
The thing about 4chan is that it's got a shitton of boards, and those boards are like kind of like, say, subreddits - they're pretty self-contained and have distinct communities. So, say, you have places like /pol/, but you also have places like /tg/, the "traditional games" forum (i.e. Magic enthusiasts and RPG players) which turned into a bubbling hub of creativity and collaborative storytelling. (and shitposting.) 4chan was abrasive everywhere, but it's hardly vile everywhere.

The experience I found on 4chan is pretty unique, and I don't know how well I can describe it, but I'm really glad that there was somewhere like it.

That said, 4chan's culture definitely started to decline around 2014~2015ish, around the time of Gamergate and the Trump campaign. Whenever 4chan's "hub of vileness" reputation starts getting really public in the news, the result is that a bunch of new people who think "hey, that sounds like exactly my jam!" start flooding in. And those two events both drew a huge amount of attention to 4chan, and not the kind of attention that brings good people. (It didn't help that a huge chunk of the old userbase fled around the time of Gamergate due to controversies about it on the site itself.) /pol/ was always a little leaky, but it started to get a lot worse around that time. Not to mention that /tg/ itself was already on the decline because of the positive reputation it had gained elsewhere on the Internet as various stories originally found on it were posted elsewhere, and so it increasingly became full of people who wanted to hear those kinds of stories but weren't actually RPG players themselves. There's a lot less positive to recommend the site these days, and a lot more negative.

Big fan of that show. Somehow it seemed very realistic to me, despite a few exceptional plot points that are acceptable in a TV show. I watched most of the first season all in a weekend and at one point forgot it wasn't happening in real life.

Decent amount of traffic from Pinterest on some sites as well, especially on long-tail stuff. Advertising options weren't available in my country previously, so can't say anything about the ROI.
I mean... yeah? You specifically called out Christians, then you described this behavior. That certainly falls into the category of "insinuating" in my opinion.
