You're doing something very wrong. I spent 9 days in Scotland and used less than 8GB of data from a Vodafone SIM I picked up for a similar price. My phone was in hotspot mode then entire time sharing the data with 3 others phones and a couple tablets.

Also if you're using Google Maps then I strongly consider you cache offline map data as it will dramatically reduce your data consumption as it's updated via Wifi automatically.

I would argue that as University education has scaled up and become commoditized, the value of a generic degree as a signaling function has decreased, and that in response the value of matriculation to a top school has only increased. Schools are just brands and become an extension of the personal brands of their students and alums. Unless you're studying a hard science or similar, I'd bet that the value of lower ranked schools will become obsolete sooner.

> No state in the world gives a non-citizen political asylum to avoid a rape trial

The granting of political asylum does not prove the crimes alleged are solely political. That this point is granted zero further attention weakens every subsequent claim.

The granting of political asylum is itself a political act. Particularly when extended by an executive. When Assange’s asylum was granted, Assange was popular and well known. The Ecuadorean leader drew power from an anti-American base. Years later, most Americans don’t know who Assange is [1]. The leadership in Ecuador changed, and with it the political incentives that made Assange valuable [2].

I don’t think Assange fled the Swedish charges per se. But there is insufficient evidence to show he didn’t commit any bona fide crimes under U.S. law. Yes, he exposed war crimes. But he also published sensitive information of zero public benefit yet detrimental to those exposed, e.g. agents in terrorist organisations or the medical records of gay men in Saudi Arabia [3].

I am unfamiliar as to how those balance under American law. But to dismiss the latter solely because of the former is to say a good deed single-handedly excuses bad deeds, which isn’t justice.

It's kind of a trap, but Medium definitely provides the audience. The articles I've written there have gotten way more reads and interactions in the last 2 years than anything I've ever written on any other blog I've had, and it required no SEO or paranoia over whether there's something about my markup that Google has decided it doesn't like.

The reason that I say it's a trap is because I think search engines, especially Google, don't seem to index things as easily as they did in the past. Any time I host a new site, it can take months for it to surface in search results, and even then it might not even show up in other people's queries which seemingly depends on the age on a site and whether Google's algorithm subjectively likes the content. But Medium has been around for a while and your articles appear in search results in mere days, sometimes less than a day. It's a trap because we're made to believe that we can't or shouldn't host our own material.

I would prefer that we wouldn't have to use Medium, but Medium has a product that delivers, and it's not the scam that people are making it out to be.
I grew up in a city (Slavutich) ~ 35 miles from Prioyat where it was evacuated. Radiation levels there two times smaller than in Manhattan ( which is still within the norm).

Interestingly, some people refused to evacuate from nearby villages and still live there (within evacuated 30km zone) at the very old age.
Perhaps there might be a higher level question at hand here. What level of caution is appropriate when the deliberate choice of inaction has a price tag of six digits of lives attached? What level of risk and potentially unforeseen consequences are we willing to accept?

This is not an idle question. It's a critical question for informing a decision-making framework that rests on calculation. Which we need here - I think we can all agree that personal ick-factor is a bad approach to large-scale public policy.

Which is to say you're right. We cannot be certain that won't happen with this approach. Indeed, we cannot be certain of all consequences with any approach.

With that in mind, what level of certainty should we require?
Please, never say "safer than solar". Even if technically correct from a certain perspective, it sounds like an "argue to win" point, and just alienates the very people you want to win to your side - environmentally-minded folks who might be convinced of the benefits of nuclear power.

From a less narrow perspective, it shows a total ignorance of how risk analysis works. It's not how many people have been harmed, it's how many people could be harmed. This is intuitively obvious to the people you're trying to impress with this line. So don't use it.
Here's another one: It's all part of the human experience.

This is not one to tell others when they struggle, same as yours, but it can help me from time to time.

Aren't data mappers generally referred to as ORMs?
> "Statistics"? You're saying that human minds calculate means and standard deviations and the like?

Clearly the brain is capable of some very powerful, yet unconscious math, otherwise catching a ball out of mid-air or simply walking would be impossible. It might not be able to solve them analytically or with extreme precision, but definitely approximately and extremely fast.
The fact that the first thing you see here is a CLI video already puts off most of the people who write in Medium and could hypothetically consider moving away.

Since I got downvotes, let me clarify. People who use the terminal can probably handle an eventual migration without much hassle but it'd be good to consider non-technical people for future releases. Otherwise it's a fine tool.
While a GPU has excellent memory bandwidth and lots of parallel processors, its connection to the rest of the system makes it not ideal for database work. If you can have bit set indexes on the GPU, maybe. But data transfer and kernel launch will dominate in the timing.

But, dual socket EPYC systems have ~300GB/s of memory bandwidth to main memory. 1-4TB machines are available right now.
For me, in Ubuntu, I used multiple workspaces. Moving applications between the workspaces was a breeze and was keyboard only. Mac requires a mouse to move between workspaces. Now that I'm on a Mac, I had to abandon multiple workspaces.

Interestingly, the source given for the "fatal levels" (footnote 20) appears to be the book "Bugging In and Bugging Out", which is a survivalist guide:

https://www.amazon.com/Bugging-Out-David-Crossley/dp/1291390...

Whether such a book is a reliable source for that kind of claim is certainly debatable, but even more interestingly, the cited page does not even say anything about "fatal" levels of radiation:

"Although radiation levels in Pripyat have now dropped sufficiently for tourists to be allowed to visit the city, ..."

> When Assange’s popular recognition fell, and Ecuador’s political incentives changed, the asylum was rescinded.

An important side note: this is the why the state always attacks the personality and popularity of activists, and why it's important to defend personalities and people.

For example, let me say that, having met Cody Wilson several times and spending several hours with him on a couple of occasions (and moderating a panel on which he sat), I found him to be an absolute standup guy. He seems like a genuine patriot to me and a person of big heart and bravery.
For annoying flaky features tests, I use rspec-retry gem to repeat the test a few times before marking it as failed. It helped for integration tests with external sandbox API.

I noticed discourse had a lot of flaky tests while using their repo to test my knapsack_pro ruby gem to run test suite with CI parallelisation. A few articles with CI examples of parallelisation can be found here https://docs.knapsackpro.com

I need to try the latest version of discourse code, maybe now it will be more stable to run tests in parallel.
Interesting, do you know if it's possible to export the content of a Medium publication?

Alternate POV: I hate gifs in readmes precisely because of the autoplays. I find it incredibly difficult to read a block of text when there's a gif moving around directly above/below it.
I'd say having false belief (believing oneself not to be smart, when in fact, one is smart) is more harm than good in the long run.
I've heard that Google deranks content it believes to have been duplicated, and I don't know if that's really true but I've been paranoid about copying my existing Medium content to my new blog; if it's true then Google will certainly give precedence to Medium.
As a broader point, the general message of this post is not said often enough and it should be.

People get attached to their creations and especially if the thing starts as a hobby project, the author can get carried away pretty far. When they eventually want to share their creation with the world they might get a really cold shower.

IMO us the programmers started becoming less practical and more tinker-y. Which is not a bad thing; it's healthy for the psyche. But when it comes to pieces of tech that can end up getting used on vast scales, we should be more responsible.

In this lane of thought, DSLs should be reserved to niche business domains and not as the first tool you reach for when you can't quite describe a problem with your programming language of choice.
Agreed. Pinnacle of the laptops. I am riding mine 'til it is dead, then I'm worried what I'll do.

I think the point is -- do to that you would have to have the email client do it.

While once it is out side the control of the email client -- as the quote suggest, it's up to the user -- not the email client to do the dirty work.

The notion is that on windows, even a all knowing user who knew the email contained a virus after viewing it would be helpless as the email client already did the steps required to make the virus active. Where as on Linux, the user would still need to be the facilitator -- not the email client blindly destroying your system.

As a example. You can email me virus all day long, and it is not likely I will get infected because of how my email client handles files and attachments. If I were to switch to a windows based system using a windows client then all bets are off.

tl;dr your exception would mean the bad thing we are talking about already happened. If they could get your email client to write to that file they probably already had enough control to do whatever you are suggesting they put in autostart.
When it comes to the miners, they actually weren't necessary, the corium lava didn't breach the lower levels of concrete, it solidified before that, so all those miners were exposed to all that radiation and risk of cancer needlessly, of course at the time it wasn't known that would be the situation so they made the right call anyways
I'd read that as 'pick your battles well'. You can work hard at things and get nowhere, you can work hard at other things and make a ton of progress, and these things can sometimes be estimated beforehand.

You can keep churning out spaghetti code (hopefully the uncooked kind) or you can learn and apply better methods, for example.
switched some time ago from OSX (15" MPB 2013) to Linux (13" Zenbook UX32LN), and recently to Windows + WSL (15" Surface Book 2 - damn, this piece of hardware is great)- I think I'm gonna never miss any other system - WSL is what I've been missing all these years on Windows.
"The State Department."
I 100% agree. I don't need a Medium alternative that let's me write blog posts from a cloud hosted Python IDE using a color-coded braille keyboard. I just want an efficient editor, clean interface for readers, and as much help as possible getting my posts in front of people. Medium can check all three in my mind. I'd infinitely prefer to see (and pay for) new and different ways to build ecosystems with which my blog could grow readership and exposure, rather than just more tools for blogging itself.
Well it to me has a few use cases that are reasonable.

a) Used where Tor is unacceptable, such as some university networks, and workplaces where using anonymization such as Tor/VPN is prohibited by policy.

b) When using Tor protecting yourself from the Tor endpoint collecting information / statistics on what you are visiting.
People hated the LEZ. Things were going well, more or less, for Party A until they implemented it. They made the huge mistake of implementing the LEZ right before the election and they got rightly sacked. The council should work for its citizens. This is just democracy at work.
The Parthenon wasn't even destroyed all that long ago --- 1687. Prior to that, it had survived largely intact. Restoring it now to its intact state would be okay by me.

That said, if you want to see what the thing would have looked like intact, you can always go to Nashville [1].

Did you really just claim that success is genetic?
Not to my knowledge. Data Mappers should be the "less batteries included" piece of tech compared to the ORMs.

As a single non-representative example, ActiveRecord has `before_insert` hooks you can simply add as methods to your model class. Ecto doesn't have those.
There seems to be this idea that success, money, or fame will bring you happiness, however there are many people who have achieved success, or are famous and/or rich that are not happy which disproves the idea. I find it kind of sad that a lot of society seems to still associate those things with a good life.
This sounds great, but I fear that nothing stops China from producing literal mountains of trash. Proof of that is the mountains of abandoned shared bikes.
Also there is a huge difference between workers installing solar panels dying on the job from falling of roofs and citizens getting killed by exploding nuclear plants. The former is a risk they were very aware of, had some control over and were payed to accept. The latter is a risk imposed on them outside of their control and without compensation (and if they vote to get rid of that risk HN viciously attacts them).
I've been there (hospitality) and agree with you; #learntocode resonated and here we are.
The cruelty, stupidity, and absurdity of US prosecutors is simply astonishing. And these are the people our society enlists with providing justice. The only thing they're providing is another notch in their belt of absurd prosecutions. It's hard to believe they are even human at all. They are self obsessed monsters and parasites on society.
Even that is misleading though. The consequence of that isn't that fifty million people have to drink contaminated groundwater forever, it's that you have to build a fancy water filtration plant not unlike the ones in Silicon Valley where the water supply was polluted by 20th century semiconductor manufacturing.
That doesn't change the point. The github.io page is still markdown rendered as html, and the comment button still links to a new issue.
Maybe not, but they get a cut of each Android phone.
This is a great informative article. When I tour historical structures I realize I'm never upset at renovations or reconstructions from long ago that changed the building. The changes become a part of the building's history. After all, these are not museum pieces preserved behind glass, they're functioning structures and still in use.
The US gov got him where they wanted him, but let's hope Assange breaks this cycle of the U.S. gov arresting and accusing whistleblowers of espionage by not taking any plea deal or pleading guilty. He needs to take this all the way to the Supreme Court.
Agreed. I usually am at my desk and use an external monitor and keyboard/mouse. But when I am away from my desk, the laptop matters.
He's compiling a list of existing information that, as per his assertion, every media outlet seems to ignore which therefore serves to misinform the readership.

The author isn't attempting to add anything new, he's merely trying to reincorporate the facts back into a narrative that has strayed from the appropriate journalistic path.

The facts presented plainly is the contribution.
The problem I think a lot of people have with Bitcoin, at least that ends up producing articles like this, is that there's always a tremendous amount of goalpost-shifting in the Bitcoin/adjacent community.

At times it's been talked about as a replacement for cash in the sense of using it for lots of low-value transactions (it won't work), as a value store (it fluctuates a LOT for that), for sending money across borders (absolutely dwarfed by Western Union), for replacing Paypal/Venmo/Google Wallet/any other electronic payment system (absolutely dwarfed any of those), and so on.

It's not dead, of course, but the Bitcoin community has made a LOT of strong claims about widespread public adoption, yet still remains very much in the hands of speculators and hobbyists.

That's what, I think, a lot of the objections come from. Bitcoin's like the Segway in a sense; did it change the world? in some small way, yes. Are we building cities (or large-scale financial infrastructures) around it? Well, show me.
Background for anyone who doesn't know: Jonathan Cook is a writer for the alt-right conspiracy rag, The Unz Review: https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/the-unz-report/

This article is attempting to draw lines where there aren't. Julian Assange did in fact flee to the Ecuadorian embassy in order to escape rape charges. That he did so because he feared extradition to the US is correct, but that does not change the original facts.
Regarding risk analysis - past track record is very important, especially when we have decades of it.

Nuclear is very heavy regulated (and it should be) to prevent possible risks and new designs are very safe
