It's probably not the the default because it disables the scrolling behavior used everywhere else on iOS. The "Safari is IE6" meme was briefly valid a couple years ago, but they've done a much better job more recently. (Check out the release notes for the technical previews.)
Your qualification of being Indian isn’t enough (if it were, then this would be a tie). Knowing how to open Facebook or YouTube isn’t digital literacy (though it can be considered as a very basic thing). Many poorer people struggle with this fact.

Maybe your education, social/economic standing and your circle of friends/coworkers hides others in the society and their hardships.

Digital literacy may be on the rise, but even “basic” things like transferring money from one bank account to another is out of the reach of many people. How many understand basic security principles and follow them? As I pointed out, what percentage even knows what a browser is and what alternatives exist?

Wow! Really?! That sounds like one hell of a lie on Tesla's part... cynical part of me wonders if they deliberately avoided trying to detect hands for liability reasons?
I would have named this article, “Free Solo Market Cap”.

Also disappointing read. What about comparing climbers to day traders or investors that take economic risks that often have very real consequences in other people’s lives.
I am mobile and I have inertial scrolling. I think it is probably because you are using iOS safari.

iOS' inertial scrolling for some reason breaks very often. It happened to my website a couple times, and I had to fix with a bunch of css hacks.

Supporting iOS is just a pain. Sometimes, I would even rather support IE 11 than iOS.

(btw, all iOS browsers are forced to use safari render engine.)
They said it was also ethical concerns, so not just about impressing other people. If you don’t have ethical doubts, you do you, but some companies have beyond awesome ethical standards.
I've never seen Tesla marketing like that.
It is ironic because autopilots on airplanes are actually really simple, but somehow when the term is applied to cars people expect abilities that airplane autopilots have never historically had.
> a bunch of US navy incidents related to nuclear power

The only US Navy incidents I see there are:

- Loss of the USS Thresher--the reactor was shut down because of a subsafe problem (water leaking into the submarine because of a failed weld), not anything to do with the reactor. The leakage was severe enough that, as noted, the sub could not surface and sunk past crush depth.

- Loss of the USS Scorpion--the cause is unknown, as noted on the Wikipedia page, but a reactor problem is not among the causes considered possible. Most of the possible causes involve some kind of event causing a hull breach and flooding. [1]

- Various incidents involving radioactive reactor cooling water or related substances (such as the resin used to clean the reactor cooling loop). These do qualify as "incidents", but they have nothing to do with incorrect operation of the reactor or any inherent danger or factors not being understood in the reactor design.

The article said that it won’t alter the score.

If someone went to a decent school, lived a care free life, and scored decently well, and then another student had the same score despite coming from a worse school district and having to work a part time job throughout high school, my bet would be on the later persons success.

Maybe they’d perform similarly in college, and the struggler would still struggle, but post graduation my bets would be on the person who had to struggle.

Converts and outliers are of course are excluded, but for people with a long Jewish ancestry, there are clusterings of genetic markers that uniquely identify them as distinct from non-Jews. There are different groups of Jews too.

Judaism is well accepted as being both a race and a religion. Of course it has fuzzy borders with people who don't believe the religion but are genetically Jewish and vise versa, but so does every race and every religion.

It's not helpful for thought to demonize an idea by calling it "filth". How can you consider possibilities if you've decided in advance what's clean and what's too dirty to even say?
Now suddenly having dedicated parents and high-quality education is not a reward in itself. Why be king of a minor gold hill, if it cannot entitle you to rule a mountain, am I right?
These incidents involve release of radioactive reactor cooling water. Those do qualify as "incidents", but they have nothing to do with incorrect operation of the reactor or with any inherent danger in the reactor design or some key technical issue not being well understood. I should have clarified that I was talking about incidents that show that some key technical issue about designing and operating nuclear reactors is not well understood. The only incidents of that type on the page you linked to occurred in 1959, very early on in the US Navy's nuclear program.
> Worth aligning yourself with the guy pushing a trade war with China

Is it still worth to breath when we know Hitler breathed too? This was rhetorical and I apologize for starting a little blunt. There is no singular right wing like there is no singular left wing.

As I understand it, the parent is actually not talking about aligning with Trump, but rather their thought process is getting more individualistic i.e. more right wing in a broad sense.
What does free airtime mean in this context? People used that term a lot about the coverage of Trump during the 2016 election, but forbidding news outlets to cover a candidate is obviously absurd.

That is incorrect. The Jewish people comprise an ethnoreligious group: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethnoreligious_group

In fact, the term "Jewish people" refers principally to an ethnic group with a common cultural heritage and ancestral religion, not to adherents of Judaism. Judaism happens to be the common religion of the Jewish people.
> My university (one of the top-ranked in the world) did have some sort of adjusted scaling for the final exams. The raw results were never released. One would get a number somehow adjusted for how to the whole cohort did

In first year university, I did a semester of Latin. For the first few weeks I was feeling very motivated; then depression hit me. I stopped going to class. What I should have done, is go see a doctor or psychologist, and got a letter saying I was depressed, and given it to the university administration, and I'm sure they would have given me some form of special consideration. But I didn't do that (it simply never occurred to me that I could do that, I wish it had.)

Anyway, since I'd missed more than half the semester of lectures and tutorials, I was thinking to myself - why bother turning up to the exam? I know I am going to fail anyway. But, I said to myself, I should go, you never know, I might somehow scrape through.

So, I sat down at the exam. I think I got the first page right. The subsequent pages, I had no idea. I sat there and waited until they let me leave early. (The university had some rule, you couldn't leave the exam early until after the first half-hour was up, or something like that.)

I waited for my results, I expected to fail. I was very surprised to find out I passed 50.0. I didn't understand how that could happen.

Next semester, I was enrolled in Latin again. I decided to drop it. But I thought, before dropping it, I should just go to the first lecture. As I was leaving at the end, the lecturer pulled me aside. He said to me, "You know you failed the exam, right?". "Yes", I replied. Then he said: "Too many students failed, and the administration told us we had to give some of them passes. We liked you, thought you were really enthusiastic at the beginning, didn't know what happened to you, and are hoping you might continue the subject, so we decided you'd be one of the lucky ones whose fail gets turned into a pass." I thanked him for his kindness, but I still dropped the subject anyway.

It was an interesting insight into just how "flexible" university marking can be.
Sorry I didn't see this sooner, but thanks for the excellent reply. It's a really good point about canned responses, and this is gold:

You can make the "this is a fallacious ad hominem" argument, if you really know what you're talking about, without using the words "ad hominem", and that'll always be a better comment.
(I've been in the situation he describes, unfortunately)

I agree a lot of that article feels like two things (but i'm not going to remove all nuance - there are clearly other issues):

1. The issue of being forced to be a manager when you want to be an individual contributor, and even worse, feels like being forced to be a TLM when you want to be an individual contributor.

2. Even if you take away the aspects of #1, it feels like a lack of notion that individuals don't build software past a certain point.
I mean that in the sense that, IMHO, past a certain point, all software becomes team built (or fails), whether you are the manager or not. High level software engineering is a team sport, not an individual one. That is true even outside of management - it's also about technically mentoring and growing the team that builds your software so you can rely on them instead of you (which is not just a manager task).

Every person you mentor into someone capable of doing the kind of work you want done is going to increase productivity on the software a lot more than you trying to do it yourself. Over time, they will also be able to build your team.

Over time and scale, if you don't have a team to rely on, and actually start relying on them, you will just feel crushed. Utterly utterly crushed.

There is no path out of it that involves getting better yourself. You simply cannot scale past a certain point and there is no way out of it.
You need a third party that takes up the middle. That allows the parties to move slowly towards the middle and shift left or right over certain issues only. Right now it is setup to move the parties apart as the choice is binary.

They also have a caste society where racism is okay. But in America, everyone is supposed to be considered equal.

If I give $5k dollars per year, for college, to every student in America whose parents make under $100k a year, am I denigrating the hard work of the parents who make more than that?

No, you certainly are not. But this is completely different from adding a hidden adversity score to the SAT. Your proposal is equality of opportunity to earn merit. The other proposal is manipulation of outcome to negate merit.

This whole conversation is stupid. I graduated from high school class rank 380 out of 386 and nearly failed the SAT. I still got into college without any challenge and graduated.

I am now both a US Army officer and a self-taught senior software developer working for a company that until recently generated more revenue than Google.

This nourishes some and hurts others. What an authentically American decision.
One of the major benefits of Open Source is that the user doesn't need to get a hold of the developer. It's always possible (or should be, if they're leveraging open source well) to patch a problem locally and build a fixed version their self. If they don't have the ability to do so, they really should at least have someone they can contact and pay (probably an exorbitant amount if it's an emergency) to do that for them. It's the open source equivalent of an application support contract or warranty.

No. It should prevent something like "SELECT * FROM users WHERE sex="F" and age=18".
He missed a big one: you have no way to stop Linux distributions from hacking up your software, and you'll suffer the consequences of whatever they do.

I hit this with procps. (a package with ps, top, vmstat, free, kill...) It was horrifically demotivating, helping to end my involvement as the maintainer from roughly 1997 to 2007. (the other big issue was real life intruding, with me joining a start-up and having 5 kids)

I had plans for command line option letters, carefully paying attention to compatibility with other UNIX-like systems, and then Red Hat would come along and patch their package to block my plans. They were changing the interface without even asking for a letter allocation. I was then sort of stuck. I could ignore them, but then my users would have all sorts of compatibility problems and Red Hat would likely keep patching in their own allocation. I could accept the allocation, letting Red Hat have control over my interface.

Red Hat sometimes added major bugs. I'd get lots of complaints in my email. These would be a mystery until I figured out that the user had a buggy Red Hat change.

Patches would often be hoarded by Linux distributions. I used to regularly download packages and open them up to look for new crazy patches. Sometimes I took the patches, sometimes I ignored the patches, and sometimes a wrote my own versions. What I could never do was reject patches. The upstream software maintainer has no ability to do that.

The backlog of unresolved troubles of this sort kept growing, making me really miserable. Eventually I just gave up on trying to put out a new release. That was painful, since I'd written ps itself and being the maintainer had become part of my identity. Letting go was not easy.

Maybe it had to happen at some point, since I now have more than twice as many kids, but I will be forever bitter about how Red Hat didn't give a damn about the maintainer relationship.
I would rather get operated by an experienced and successful surgeon. Who in their right minds will ask the grades during operation procedure?

Yeah I mean the advertising business. I was feeling a little salty.
And if the savant kid happened to only see a musical instrument for the first time at 10 years old, so that when they took their music entrance exams at 11 years old their performance was very good but not quite at the same level as the other kids who had been learning for 10 years, you would just want to assess all of them on performance at that moment, and choose the kids that had been playing longer because your objective assessment is that they are better musicians.
For society as a whole I don't think it is particularly beneficial to encourage people to move to rich neighborhoods/better school districts. The other factors are so far removed from most individual's control that I don't think we'll see much of an impact on behavior.
The hard work of your parents for you to attend a better school have nothing to do with your potential.

You were fortunate, not everybody was.

You might also consider that the great sacrifices your parents made to place you in a certain environment robbed you of an education others less academically focused learned well. And that some of those skills have value.
But why Slack though? Can't we have a IRC/matrix channel?
> Is something like Michael Moore's Farenheit 9/11 a form of political advertising?

Not only that, is CNN or Fox News coverage of a sitting politician who is running for reelection a form of political advertising? How they choose to report stories -- and which stories they choose to report -- can certainly affect how the voters view the candidates.

Probably the best solution is to just have a signature requirement where if you get that many signatures, the government gives your campaign an amount of money equal to the average amount of private money raised by successful candidates running for the same level of office in the previous election.

Then the average privately-funded campaign will have twice that much (if they get the signatures too), but a factor of two isn't huge here. It's more of a threshold situation where once you reach a saturation point it's diminishing returns. Get the candidate to that point with public money and the value of trading legislation for private money would be much diminished.

Of course, you still have the problem that too many people vote for who cable news tells them to.
If one person onws everything, he is de facto the government.
> All indications are that much was learned by industry and the NRC after TMI

That's true, the industry did learn a lot from TMI--and it made no difference, because it was already too late as far as public opinion was concerned. The US government and the media spun TMI as showing that nuclear power just wasn't safe enough, and the public believed it. As a result, we have nuclear generating about 20% of US electricity, when it could be more like 75%. Imagine if the US had not had to buy any foreign oil at all after, say, 1990.
> High level software engineering is a team sport, not an individual one.

#Truth

Floating out there in the cloud, you have to be a DBA, a network engineer, a browser jockey, a middleware dev, a sysadmin, a security specialist, an architect. . .

. . .and that's without being handed someone else's effort that is probably not in the desirable state for reasons you'll never know.

It's blatantly obvious to even the most casual observer that anybody claiming to know "all that stuff" is having you on.

That the internet works AT ALL is somewhat amazing when you ponder it.
This is reasonably similar, AFAIK, to how it works in France (and I assume many other developed countries).

Campaigns do spend their own money but it is capped at some low value to even the playing field, and they also receive public funding. TV stations are required to give equal time to all candidates (in the 2007 election there were 12 candidates, only 3 of which had any realistic chance of winning, but major TV stations spent equal time interviewing all of them).
Challenge 3:
Do we need to RE the EXE cause that’s look obvious but I don’t think that that’s what we need to do
I don't think that encouraging people to move to rich neighborhoods with better schools is necessarily beneficial for society as a whole.
