You made bot for Messenger and Telegram, but to talk to human you have whatsup option? Little peculiar.

I tried accessing privacy policy, but your link doesn't work.

Other than that, I messaged a bit with your bot, and I like the idea. I am not sure chatbot is the best UX, most of the chatbots I tried I disliked. But I wish you success.

I bet the civilians who do not become collateral damage because the missile that was supposed to hit a military base did so due to good guidance software instead of missing and hitting their town would disagree.

When a situation has escalated to the point that someone is launching missiles, it has usually reached the point where destroying the target is more important to them then the risk of collateral damage. If the guidance software is not good enough to give a small margin of error, they will launch several missiles to ensure that one is likely to hit the target, which pretty much guarantees a lot of damage throughout the margin of error of the guidance software.
But the civil case seems so easy - failure to deliver the right stuff over most of a decade. Should be possible to bankrupt this company over contract fraud?

What it used to mean to say someone was good at math was that they were very good at quickly solving complicated math in their head. One documentary I saw claimed that this is what they looked for at Oxford and Cambridge for their math programs.

As soon as the calculator was invented (okay, and made cheap and portable), this skill was useless. Then you had to set up problems so that the calculator could solve them. (Similarly with the computer).

This is a natural and good progression. All the best practices should be learned and mastered by people building the tool, and you should just be proficient at the tool.
I’ve heard that as well. It’s not true though.

I've been a single founder since 2005 and I can relate to these findings.

Some parts of my business are on a complete auto-pilot and will continue to function even if I'm not around.
The main part of it though, won't. That's the problem I see with my solo ventures.

I'm currently looking to automate what's left of the business processes so that I don't lose the company due to unforeseen circumstances. Not sure if I'll succeed.

Aside, not relevant to the article discussed here.

constitution that was essentially
written by Americans

I cannot speak about Japan, but that's historically false for Germany. If you look at the list of participants in the main events that drafted the West German constitution such as the Rittersturz-Konferenz [1] and the
Verfassungskonvent auf Herrenchiemsee [2], then you'll see that all participants are German. Naturally, the allies had to agree, but they were split in a big way. The Soviet Union anyway, but the US and France really had very different ideas. France, in particular, wanted to snatch the Saar region. Naturally the drafters of the German constitution were inspired in particular by the US constitution, because it was rather successful.

> it’s shocking nobody is going to jail in relation to a fraud guilty plea.

They are though. From the justice.gov article:

"Dennis Balius, the SPI testing lab supervisor, led a scheme to alter tests within SPI’s computerized systems and provide false certifications with the altered results to customers. Balius also instructed employees to violate other testing standards, such as increasing the speed of the testing machines or cutting samples in a manner that did not meet the required specifications. Balius pleaded guilty in July 2017 and was sentenced to three years in prison and ordered to pay over $170,000 in restitution."

You can't send SPI to jail though, because it isn't a human.
SpaceX also had failed a mission due to a 3rd party strut failing the spec.

You may be surprised to learn different states have different gun laws and indeed different rates of gun violence. Even more surprisingly, the two things may not even be correlated. Also, gun numbers are often misleading by including suicides in death counts. If you are not a suicidal person, you have an extremely low chance of dying at the hands of a gun in the US.
Well, that just doesn't rhyme at all.

>Instead of shutting up shop, Ghouneim relocated to humdrum Wittenau, a suburb of Berlin, and got some tape artists to decorate the facade of the new building. Footfall has naturally decreased, but 80% of his business comes from online sales and regular industrial clients, for whom Klebeband’s four employees cut and colour match tape of all varieties to order.

Sounds like they realize that people going "Have you heard of the store that only sells stickytape?" is great buzz marketing generator.

I assume they'd need space to store the tape to sell to their online and industrial clients, so why not stack it up next to a counter and make a little side cash from the consumer market?

(I also have noticed in Germany they're much more cash-friendly, so I can totally see more people in DE preferring to go to a store and pay cash than submit PII like credit card and home address to purchase some sticky tape)
Not true on path counts.

You don't need a sane design, you need a large enough population. Walmart needs to be every few miles because if they aren't people will go to a competitor who is closer. For specialty stores though there is no competition. Customers often will drive for over an hour to get there and put up with a really bad location because that is the only choice.

I have seen such stores in strip malls - not the new ones, but the old almost dead ones often find a new lease on life by renting to specialty stores that bring in people from all over.
Depending on the definition of "privacy". Over time they have limited access to their APIs , so that a new "Cambridge Analytica" has a harder time to extract larger amounts of data.

Of course that serves their business: in the beginning they had to be the hub everybody connects to, to get as much attention as possible. Now their business is to monopolize the data, so that ads are sold via their systems.

Framing that as privacy is a great strategy, from Facebook's perspective.
FWIW {fmt} already supports formatting of containers, tuples and ranges as of version 5.0 (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/releases/tag/5.0.0), for example:

fmt::print("{}", v); // prints {1, 2, 3}

You are exactly right, and a lot of these frameworks that do "hot reload" for other languages are fundamentally doing similar things.

> The way you phrase this though...how often are you receiving acute medical treatment?

I was unable to a price quote of any kind before elective procedures, when I lived in the US (last year).

My insurance was good, but they would not say if they would cover the bill ahead of time.
I don't see the problem. Extended detention and repeated interrogation is normal around the world. Visit Rikers island and look at how long people are held there prior to trial (years). The focus on confessions isn't a Japanese thing. Look at how many americans/canadians/brits/auzzis agree plea deals, a form of confession. Repeated questioning isn't torture. In the USA it is true that police have to stop asking questions once you demand a lawyer, but that isn't true in Canada. The mounties can, and do, question suspects for hours. Brits who do not want to speak still have to sit through the ritual of "no comment' interviews which can last hours. Are we only talking about these Japanese cases because they involve rich people?
Nearly 100% of people spend some time in a hospital in their lives.

Unless you're claiming that hospitals only gouge some tiny subset of people and are benevolently generous to everyone else, that number is going to be much closer to 100% than 0.1%.

When I lived in the US, I have personally experienced this, even with top-tier insurance--from both ends: I've had insurance decline claims arbitrarily and pass on five-figure costs to me, and I've had hospitals misclaim things. In both cases, I had to spend dozens of hours on the phone to resolve it.

Most people in the US are far less privileged: Their insurance is not as good, and they don't have the luxury of spending dozens of hours on the phone.

It's just a matter of time until you experience this.

Just a warning for VSCode users, this issue still exists: https://github.com/VSCodeVim/Vim/issues/2007
I suspect that if people could rely on that the weapons they make are used defensively, many more would be willing to make weapons. In many countries, you can't rely on that, and making tools that reduce risk increase the leaderships willingness to use force more offensively.

And of course there's a large unclear area where one persons long-term defensive measure is another persons justified intervention, and another persons war of aggression.
There's a thing called COBRA which allows you to pay a relatively low fee (iirc it's ~$700/m) to continue

Boy, are you going to be in for a surprise if you ever utilize COBRA. If there's a "we" involved, plan on about double that, because you will pay the full, undiscounted premium. They don't want you on that plan, and they only do it because of federal law, so they're going to make it as unappealing as possible.

I've been using vim a lot recently. Multiple cursors for this exact scenario is the only thing I still miss about other editors.

Macros and other solutions are great, but for this very simple and surprisingly common task, multiple cursors are perfect.
The problem I have with those plugins is that I use a lot of split buffers not just for editing but also for exploring directories using :Explore for example. Some IDEs+vim plugins support horizontal splits but then when you have to jump between different modes such as explorer or console they use different shortcuts.

Nevertheless, I think that VIM support for IDEs has improved a lot these past years. VSCode and Jet brains have done an awesome work integrating it to their software.
Theoretically you could sentence a corporation to community service. I.e., forcibly rewrite its charter into that of a social benefit corporation, where the social-benefit goals are “doing whatever the government says.” Sort of half-way between commandeering a resource and nationalizing a corporation.
How to Pay Off Your Student Loans Faster – Road to Success
If companies can outsource jobs to other countries, we should be able to import drugs from other countries in the same way without restrictions. It's ridiculous that this isn't the case. This for profit drug and medical industry in they US needs to die. One way that could be achieved is by having a single payer system that negotiates prices. Don't want to agree to the new, reasonable prices? You don't get to participate in the system and therefore most patients will not be your customers. It's tiring living in a supposedly developed nation that doesn't even have proper healthcare. That's not developed at all and as Americans we should be ashamed of our healthcare system that prioritizes profits over health and lives.
John Oliver (love him or hate him does not matter!) did a video on this issue a while back: http://time.com/5565832/john-oliver-mobile-homes-last-week-t...

The TL;DR is owning a mobile home but leasing the land (lot) underneath it is a very bad idea and will most likely harm you financially.

More detail:
Large funds are buying up mobile home parks and increasing the monthly rent for the lot. Since a mobile home is not really mobile (watch the video) the person living there is trapped. The fund wins even if the resident leaves because they can take ownership of the home and lease it to someone else.

> What I didn't see mentioned is that when the automation fails for whatever reason, typically it is a five-alarm situation where minutes count.

No, that's not right. When automation fails, it's typically not in five-alarm situations. During five-alarm situations, knowing how to do things manually won't help, because if you could do them manually, the automation would already work.
Extinction Rebellion chose non-violent civil disobedience after looking at lots of research around the subject of social change.

They are being scientific about this and I think many people who are claiming it won't change minds haven't done the research as they did.

This is a very very smart and focussed rebellion. They aren't just guessing their tactics will work, they base them on what actually did work.

Resident Owned Communities (https://rocusa.org/) are by far the more human option here.

"your home that you own depreciates like a car and you merely rent the land under it and we can raise the rent whenever we want" is a crock, and needs to end.

Resident cooperative ownership of the land is superior in every way, and Buffett should honestly be ashamed of himself for playing this game.
Of course you wouldn't know - this is why these sites are operated clandestinely, and you - the American people - will never know what your government is doing in your name at these sites.

Just like the people of the UK don't know what is being done, in the name of their ruler, in sites such as Belmarsh.

Those who find this incredible, might want to look - for themselves - at Belmarsh's long history of being a used as a programming site. The idea of Assange becoming the subject of mind control procedures in Belmarsh is, unfortunately, not un-realistic. The UK and its master, the USA, has a long history of these kinds of activities in cases where it is politically expedient .. if this is unreal to you, I suggest you have a milquetoast view of the intelligence community. Read the Wikileaks.
I do this with my ansible deployments at work. I first spin up a test VM or env, then manually configure what I am going to do and get it working properly. Then once that is done, I just export my bash history/whatever config files I was working on and rewrite the pertinent bits in ansible.
A common point of contention is that agile is a list of philosophical guidelines, not a hard-and-fast framework for how to do things. A "true agile" shop should be periodically reviewing and updating their processes in the light of what makes the most sense. If, however, "being agile" is an organizational checkbox then some form of generally accepted agile methodology will be implemented whether it is the best fit for the company, whether the teams truly understand it, and without a built-in plan to reflect and decide if they are even doing agile right or if it's actually benefiting the organization.

"I really don't think you understand what's involved in an eating disorder or how hard these attitudes make it to lose weight."

No, I have worked in the diabetes field and I do know, how difficult it is. But on the other hand, you don't get seriously overweight overnight and you have to start countermeasures early.

I can tell at a glance if you are black. I cannot tell at a glance if you are rural white.

This is significant because white is the majority. It means that if I, as a member of the majority, wish to discriminate against those outside of the majority [1], it is easy for blacks. I can just avoid all of them.

For whites who aren't the "right" kind of white, I can't just use a simple rule. I actually have to look into the background. Furthermore, you can try to hide that background from me, hoping I mistake you for the "right" kind of white. Maybe I'll eventually find out you aren't, but if you have proven yourself useful to me in the mean time maybe I'll overlook that.

The black guy? He can't hide that from me, so he doesn't even get the chance to prove himself.

Fraud is a crime. It has no place in a free (i.e. libertarian) society.

I believe fraud is seen by libertarians as a type of theft and theft is a crime in any society or body of thought that values property rights. Nonaggression towards others and respect for property rights are the top tenents of libertarianism.

Even Ayn Rand, queen of capitalism and profits said the purpose of the courts is:

> to protect your property and contracts from breach or fraud by others, and to settle disputes by rational rules, according to objective law.
