Did you read the article? Livestock is in fact a major contributor to global warming, about 14%, which puts it on par with all of transportation.
What if a community is begging you to stop murdering their sons in the street and harassing them for low-level drug crimes and sucking them into the criminal justice vortex?

You don't have a leg to stand on here. Woefully ignorant.
> I said a lot of stupid stuff as a teenager, and the vast majority would be lying if they claimed that they didn't, too.

Sure, but the stupid stuff that I said as a teenager actually reflected true aspects of my attitude and personality. I suspect the same is true of the vast majority of people.
Also, potential interns: My team (infrastructure) is hiring software engineering intern(s). Work on terabyte/petabyte scale autonomous vehicle data pipelines, ML infra, and/or robotics simulation. Apply for intern+swe infrastructure positions on the job site.
That’s what individual financing means.

Most people who respond with mock disbelief in US medical discussions are actually responding to the perception of medical care being expensive, not in shock at the idea that anyone would ever have to pay out of pocket.

The point is that US medical care is expensive because we pay nurses and doctors an order of magnitude more than they’re paid in Costa Rica. That makes everything expensive; where that expense precisely gets billed is mostly window dressing.

Under that reasoning I don't see how any form of detainment could not be considered torture as well, including pretty much all public education. One must accept that the real world is not made of lines that provide convenient barriers between concepts, in other words, there are degrees of torture, and some will be much more acceptable than others.
Not needed, we hackers - more or less - already have one for about 35 years:

1) Access to computers - and anything which might teach you something about the way the world really works - should be unlimited and total. Always yield to the Hands-On Imperative!

2) All information should be free.

3) Mistrust authority - promote decentralization.

4) Hackers should be judged by their acting, not bogus criteria such as degrees, age, race, or position.

5) You can create art and beauty on a computer.

6) Computers can change your life for the better.

7) Don't litter other people's data.

8) Make public data available, protect private data.

I disagree. I find most of what the NYT publishes nowadays of a very low level, biased along with a lack of research. I think it used to be a much better newspaper, but that was a long, long time ago now.

Note that this is not unique to the NYT, the (former) printed press has fallen enormously since the advent of online news (once you can measure what attracts viewers, your articles will tend to be more and more clickbaity and sensationalist by nature).
Then you are better than 97% of US citizens who would... read the article
Well done for missing the point.

Ksplice @ Oracle | Full Time | Remote | https://ksplice.oracle.com/

The Ksplice group at Oracle develops exciting technology to patch the Linux kernel and applications while they are running, eliminating unplanned downtime for systems running Oracle Linux and keeping up-to-date with known security fixes. We are a distributed team engineers working to provide rebootless updates for supported kernels and "restartless" updates for supported applications. The applications and operations team is responsible for all the services our users interact with as well as keeping the lights on behind the scenes.

We're looking for a software engineer to help us expand the web services we provide to our customers. As a small team with a broad remit, you must be comfortable with the entire stack, from the Linux shell at the bottom to Python and Django (or similar) at the top (bonus points for experience with Terraform or Ansible). You must also be willing to assist with operations tasks. While our goal is to automate everything we can with code, there are times where ssh and the bash command prompt are the best tools for the job.

More information about Ksplice is available at http://ksplice.oracle.com/, and you can contact me by email at travis.jensen@oracle.com if you have any questions. Oracle is an equal opportunity employer.

In Florida you can checkout Florida Statute 395.301 (Price transparency;itemized patient statement or bill;patient admission status notification).

I know this off hand, and don’t have the time but from there you could probably find a few websites that will reference comparable laws for each state, if they exist.
I'm reading what you're saying, and it makes me sad - as if you don't believe that people without insurance are just liars. People are avoiding getting medical treatment because it may financially ruin them. Do please believe them.
Inventables | Chicago, IL | ONSITE

My team is hiring software engineers. We make and sell CNC carving machines for entrepreneurs and small businesses. (Think of the opposite of a 3d printer - instead of using filament to create a physical object from a design, our machines use a cutting bit to carve out a design from wood, plastic, or metal). We write software for every step of the process, from purchasing the machine and materials to creating a design to driving the machine.

I've been working here as a software engineer for three years, and I'm really excited about our next phase of growth and the work we have planned for this year. If you're in Chicago (or thinking of moving here), and you want to know the details of why, hit me up at david@inventables.com.

Almost All the Colleges I Wanted to Go to Rejected Me. Now What?
If I understand your analogy, you're saying that privacy violations are like food-safety violations: they should be prevented by legislative action and government force. I think the analogy is flawed. When you die from poisoning, it's an irremediable situation; you can't just say, "I'll never do business with them again!" and fix it. Also, you have to eat something; you can't opt out of the whole market. Finally, it directly affects your physical safety, so that intentional disregard of food safety is akin to violence.

Facebook's problems, and privacy violations in general, are different. It's not necessary to engage in mediated social interaction; you can opt out with no loss except convenience. There's no bodily harm, let alone death, so if you're burned once, you can simply never do business with them again.

That means the market could fix this problem. That it hasn't says that there aren't enough people who agree that it is a problem, or that the cost is worth the benefit to them. In a case like that, not legislation but education is the solution.
I don't know. If you own a sewing machine, you can add pockets to anything you buy off the rack.

Actually, adding pockets to women's apparel might be a decent side-gig business....
I don't understand how avoiding bitrot is better in a multi-repo setup. With a multi-repo, if you're changing a core-library you can make the change quickly but you can't upgrade clients until they upgrade on their own. You still have bitrot. The difference is that the bitrot isn't visible because it's compartmentalized into separate repos.
That's not being helpless. That's making a business decision.
Your request is, at its heart, a question about the definition of the word "torture".

The pedestrian definition of "torture" as per the Merriam-Webster dictionary is:

1: the infliction of intense pain (as from burning, crushing, or wounding) to punish, coerce, or afford sadistic pleasure

2: a) something that causes agony or pain; b) anguish of body or mind

3: distortion or overrefinement of a meaning or an argument

I guess definition 2b in the context of "mind" fits best with your proposition. Which then leads to the definition of "anguish".

Alternatively, we can examine the legal definition, which will vary by jurisdiction, but for completeness, I will link to the UN definition at https://www.apt.ch/en/what-is-torture/. In brief:

"Torture means any act by which severe pain or suffering, whether physical or mental, is intentionally inflicted on a person for such purposes as obtaining from him or a third person information or a confession"

Here, you'd have to ask if prolonged unwanted questioning causes "severe [mental] pain or suffering".

And finally, perhaps you mean torture in the figurative sense.

Either way, if simply questioning someone "longer than they want" is "torture" then pretty much all of us have, at some point tortured someone. At that point, the word "torture" becomes synonymous with "discomfort" or "to annoy" and would, IMO, lose all utility from a legal point of view.

In the final analysis, what this boils down to is that the world does not exist to serve your desires. Unpleasant things can and will happen to you. Even being asked questions you don't want to answer in situations where you cannot leave. While an individual may never have experienced anything more unpleasant than that, and thus it feels horrible to them, the fact is that there are far far FAR more unpleasant experiences that millions of others have faced. Society does not owe the sheltered more than the less sheltered.
Or we can accept people will keep their diet and go on with our lives. Just because something impacts the environment (literally everything does this btw) doesn't mean that we need to stop doing it. The climate will always be changing and humans will always have some impact on it. We need to accept that as fact.
As a happy past attendee, I can vouch for the quality of his workshops. Great work!
There are two options for you you can set up a fake business and buy health insurance for your employees as long as you have two such as you and your spouse. Another option is to visit a private urgent care clinic. The doctors and prices at urgent care are usually pretty good. Make sure the urgent care is not attached to a hospital.
“Shaming” is what got me and my girlfriend to change, one pointed conversation 3 months later we went vegetarian than a year later vegan.
DNSApe 1.1.3 has been released. DNSApe (https://dnsape.com) is a free network tool for anyone that deals with websites on a daily basis. We provide the following tools.

* DNS Records - list DNS records for a domain

* DNS Traversal - show DNS records from root, TLD, and authoritative name servers

* DNS Cache - show DNS records from popular DNS servers

* HTTP Headers - get HTTP headers for a domain

* Whois - Whois lookup (we never save any lookups)

* IP Whois - just what is sounds like...

* SSL - SSL lookup and verification

* Ping - a simple ping from our server

We’ve fixed and added a bunch since our initial New Years release. Here are our new features.

* Dark mode! Our top requested feature...

* Lookup URLs - copy URLs to share and load lookups directly (e.g. https://dnsape.com/ssl/amazon.com or https://dnsape.com/dns/reddit.com)

* Replaced RBL tool with SSL tool (RBL lookup may return later in a more useful state)

* Added client IP address linked to IPWhois lookup in the footer

* Entirely new backend infrastructure (Docker on Vultr behind Cloudflare)

Future features include an upload time calculator, a network subnet calculator, and a one-page domain summary. You can vote on features here (https://dnsape.featureupvote.com).

DNSApe is open source under the MIT license here (https://github.com/srvaudit). We're looking for feedback and suggestions, and of course contributors are welcome!
Can you please suggest some ways how to fully embrace this? I don't think offices are going away at least in my fang world.

I saw a note about everyone headphoning in - I can try this, but am skeptical because those people are still going to be more present than me (I mentioned this in my op). There are going to be side conversations, notes, glances, eye rolls, sighs I miss - the things I definitely need to get the full presence. Not to mention the walkie talkie nature of this - with everyone muting / unmuting and feedbacking.

I am open to other ideas - but am looking for ones that don't make the human interaction a lot more measured and artificial. As much as I like to be Spock, my xp points at emotions driving 90% of real decisions because the logical ones pretty much are a lay up in a sane group.

Of course not, and that's really the point. Plenty of organizations will tell you they are Agile when they aren't truly following the Agile manifesto, but that's not going to stop the evangelicals from eating the horse manure("our team has standups 'n stuff") that reassures them that their belief system works.

Everyone's bullshitting each other, and I wish it would stop, but I know it won't. Not everyone can be a "true scotsman".

I'm not even defending Agile or other related methodologies like Scrum. They have some good ideas, but I haven't seen quantifiable evidence that they are good for businesses. Many of the ideas are good for software engineers, but that doesn't mean they are actually good for teams or companies. Even then, I've management use "responding to change over following a plan" as a license to make more arbitrary changes to what engineers will work on in a given day because they can take it. Planning days and point systems be damned.

The way image signing works with Docker is that there is a signature tying a tag to a sha256. If you use the sha256 directly you get immutable sources, but now your source isn't signed anymore -- how are you sure the hash is correct?
Bertolt Brecht's poem The Interrogation of the Good:

Step forward: we hear
That you are a good man.
You cannot be bought, but the lightning
Which strikes the house, also
Cannot be bought.
You hold to what you said.
But what did you say?
You are honest, you say your opinion.
Which opinion?
You are brave.
Against whom?
You are wise.
For whom?
You do not consider personal advantages.
Whose advantages do you consider then?
You are a good friend
Are you also a good friend of the good people?

Hear us then: we know
You are our enemy. This is why we shall
Now put you in front of a wall.
But in consideration of
your merits and good qualities
We shall put you in front of a good wall and shoot you
With a good bullet from from a good gun and bury you
With a good shovel in the good earth.
Is the Mountain Dew and Doritos crowd still thriving? Maybe I have been sheltered living the last 10 years in west coast urban bubbles (with their various health conscious eating fads), but that phrase evokes a very dated, 1990s image to me. The successor would have to be a soy latte and a gluten free pastry, or something.
I personally find it the most boring one, it doesn't seem accessible to the masses, therefore runs afoul of the very ideals of the Olympic Games. The Philippine team has to train in Canada. I'm OK with it as a sport, but I don't think it should be put into the Olympics.
NeXT wasn't Linux. My understanding is that it was a completely proprietary POSIX based operating system. That being said there is something to be said for POSIX based (unix, linux, os x), terminal based development tools. It's where most of the innovation happens in the developer community.

There is also something easy about GUI based development and debugging on Windows. A runtime environment that is fairly standard for gaming is also a big plus.

What is your point then? Sweden were pursuing their original case until he became a fugitive. If he hadn't run, he would (most likely) have been extradited to Sweden, not the US.
Yes, they don't even need to eat it, just from decomposing versus growing corn you can measure the rising and falling cycles of co2 at different times of the year for north america. I think Azolla is still less effort to grow than most plants, which might still help out if it ends up being used for animal feed.

"A young couple was told to leave first, Bridges recalled. “They begrudgingly got up and left,” he said.
Then an older man, who refused.

“He says, ‘Nope. I’m not getting off the flight. I’m a doctor and have to see patients tomorrow morning,’” Bridges said.
The man became angry as the manager persisted, Bridges said, eventually yelling. “He said, more or less, ‘I’m being selected because I’m Chinese.’”
I think it’s their problem and not ours. No one ever wants to change and no matter how nicely you put things they’ll always feel attacked. It’s just how it work, ultimately no one really wants to change so they need to be pushed.
We basically have forced labor camps for men and women on non-violent charges. Black men experience this at a far higher rate than the rest of the population. Of course we’re a racist country, and cops are a massive part of this mechanism.

Also, there is no excuse for a cop firing their gun without someone else shooting at them first. Shooting for resisting arrest is just legalized murder.
> Your diet is a personal choice and no amount of shaming is going to change that.

I guess that depends on how you define personal choice. Climate change has certain changed the calculus, but diet was never merely a personal choice when it required the death of other individuals.

As for the shaming, I'm not in favor of that because it does not seem to be an effective way of bringing about change. But simply having these kinds of discussions cannot fairly be called shaming. That's a cop-out to avoid meaningful discourse.
