Just wanted to mention... if you (or one you know) get cancer, once the type of cancer has been established, ask where it typically spreads to. Monitor changes in those areas.

A relative got cancer in a lymph node, and got it successfully operated out. A couple of years later got shortness of breath and back pain. Doctors gave asthma medication for the breath and physio for the back pain.

After a year of no real progress, an unrelated shoulder x-ray showed spots in the lung tissue. X-ray technician noticed this and escalated it, and only when they verified it did we learn that the original cancer typically spreads to the lungs and bones...

Now in this case, finding the cancer had spread to the lungs and spine a year earlier probably wouldn't have done much to delay the inevitable, but it would have allowed them to start pain medication much sooner, making that year less painful.

Cute, but not really. In one situation, we have people illegally flying drones drunk. It may have been illegal since forever, and people recently started doing it. In the other situation, the government recently passed a law - but that doesn't necessarily mean that anyone is breaking it.

The crime he was accused of by the US is helping someone try to break into a laptop. That's beyond most journalistic standards for conduct and a criminal act.

North America is about the only significant market where iOS has a ton of market share, and the world is not North America. If you're targeting Europe, iOS has only 25% [1]. Not sure why you said Japan instead of Asia, but iOS market share there is less than 15%; even worse than it is worldwide [2].

I think there are two major categories of situations where a correction is needed. Times when an excepted behavior is not taking place ("Clean up that mess") and times when an unacceptable behavior has already taken place (Sibling A hit Sibling B).

In the first case, emotions may not be that high to start out with (and my never get that high). The timeout is a "self-inflicted" punishment that lasts until they do what's expected of them. There are certainly times when the "Do a thing!"/"No!" loop has spiraled out of control, and in that case the timeout first serves as a cooldown, then a conversation can take place laying out the expectations more clearly.

In the second case, tempers have generally already flared. There is generally an action that needs to take place in the short term ("Apologize to your brother"), and there generally needs to be some sort of punitive consequence. In that case the timeout a) gives tempers a chance to cool, and b) serves the same self-inflicted punishment as before ("You're going to be in timeout until you apologize to your brother"). The other (major) benefit is that it buys time for me to decide on an appropriate punishment outside the heat of the moment.

> There was a german parenting TV show a few years ago where the host repeatedly made children of various parents sit somewhere alone until they cooled off.

I'm not a huge fan of being "alone" as a punishment. For me the concept of "timeout" and "alone" are two separate things. There may indeed be times when being alone is what the kid needs to cool down before they can talk (my daughter is absolutely this way), but I think it's important for that to be their choice (and it's equally important for them know it (can be) an acceptable and healthy choice). For other kids (like both of my boys) being alone is just going to work them up more. I generally spend the first few minutes of a timeout sitting right next to them (or with them on my lap) until they have been able to calm down and we can have a conversation.

It's probably also important to note that we're all just talking about the "ideal" here. I'm sure none of us meet our own ideals as consistently as we'd like...

> You are missing the point: checksums can't save you from data corruption and data loss.

No, I am not. The point is: checksums allow you to know that data corruption happened in the first place. Knowing this, you can then make informed decisions.

What saves you from "data corruption and data loss" is backups. But how do you know you have to go to backups if you're not aware that your data has problems?

> They are unnecessary without automatic recovery mechanisms and even make things worse.

Checksums allow you do know that there is a problem in the first place. If you don't know there's a problem, how can you invoke "recovery mechanisms", automatic or otherwise?

If you use (say) ZFS with some level of RAID-Z over multiple disks, then you get an "automatic recover mechanism". But even for a single-disk situation, it would be handy (for me at least), to know a file is bad so I can restore it from (say) my Time Machine backup.

But I have to know that the file is corrupted in the first place. And checksums would give me that.

Of course, this neglects the reality that drones are mostly software controlled, and often fly by wire.

Based on this, for some models, drunken operation would only affect the decision to activate the drone, and the location its presence is found in.

Relevant as that may be, being drunk won't have nearly as much affect on the ability or quality of the flying itself. Drones can crash into things, but they kind of fly pretty good on their own, and some possess anti-collision software.
Thanks, would love to hear more about your experience (if you are willing to talk about it). It’s a dangerously underreported story in the West.

My girlfriend is from HK and she is very intense these days. She is very well educated and comes from a wealthy family. However, she feels a strong connection to HK, even-though she is not living there for over 10 years already (and does not want to return).

I have asked her about her emotions and feelings. To quote her. She says that she hates the Chinese. She hates China and all people living there. She feels that all actions that are linked to the Chinese government (such as the current law) are an attack on her country. Thus, she is posting a lot of biased and super heavy crap on social media these days and is full of hate against the police (who are ironically also Hong Kong people, but she does not care).

What we see there is just a terrible eruption of anti-China emotions. People need to vent.

Ironically, my girlfriend is also blaming the "rich Chinese" who are "coming to HK and buying all property, which prices out HK people". At the same time, her family owns X apartments in HK and in mainland China.

Whoops! I'll fix that URL. But it is up-to-date with the latest version of D3.
In the new one it's mostly all automated, with the app it imports your bank statements and you just need to match the payments to invoices and classify the expenses. Upload pictures of any receipts for expenses, etc.

In my consultancy business I have a spreadsheet tab for invoices and one for expenses, and try and update it every month. And then a template for calculating the p&l accounts and tax I need to submit each year. I would use an app, but never get round to sorting it out.

I really would recommend just getting an accountant and accountancy app unless your turnover is very low.

It is worth getting your ledger codes right if you get to the sort of size where you employ people (codes are how you classify your income and spending), and I would recommend the less ledger codes the better, you can always create more later.

To be honest, you should be able to find a 'dummies guide' to setting up a business in the US, I would just buy that. Read it and then come back and ask more specific starting a web app business questions. People will recommend you the right US state to incorporate in and corp structure.

These people are ultimately protesting because they're under the thumb of a totalitarian regime.

Not that immediately come to mind. I kind of nonlinearly cherry-pick, splitting between ones I think I can relate to and ones I don't immediately think I relate to. The latter are interesting to me because I find my increased emotional distance to the problem she's talking through helps me better understand her logic, if you know what I mean. Plus, I never know when something not applicable might become applicable :)

The other thing is that her approach has a very nuanced logic to it. There's kind of a gestalt behind it that's a bit hard to internalize from individual examples. I should probably just read her books, which I'm guessing would be a more direct way to understanding her full philosophy.

>* Timeouts rarely work.

This is entirely opposite of my experience. We do timeouts for harmful things (like hitting newborn baby brother, running into the street) or if he is having a tantrum and isn't cooling down.

We didn't try timeouts until we read https://www.amazon.com/Happiest-Toddler-Block-Cooperative-Fo..., but we do use them now and they seem to be one of the few things that have a lasting effect on my toddler's behavior.

It is different but not necessarily better. Where IE got really bad is when they stopped developing it. Development really slowed after 5.5 and once 6 was the undisputed champion they just left it to rot. Whatever else can be claimed about Chrome, they're not idle.

Well first, be honest here. We suffered far more overreach in the previous Administration which was all to clearly revealed by Snowden and Manning. We had the press actively harassed and investigated by the DOJ and even the IRS. All we have now is the bluster but we don't have sycophants in government agencies jumping to do anything behind the scenes.

to be honest, just what in the hell do people in Western nations have to protest about? Not enough screen time? Someone driving a nicer car. The Western world is stupidly well off to the point they have to invent offenses! Whereas people in Hong Kong who enjoy a Western like environment are on the fringe of losing more of their freedoms to a country and regime which have proven over and over again, world opinion does not matter.

It certainly does not matter to the leaders of the tech industry we discuss here daily as they all trip over themselves to accommodate China's leadership by keeping manufacturing there and changing software to let that same regime to deny their people more rights and privacy.

This example would work better if they were pointing out an addition that really sucked.

Yes - google has been pushing web forward with QUIC and many many other elements.

Seeing Microsoft and other pushing back on something like toast (IE was a crapshow of stupidity for developers) is ironic. toast is going to be welcomed.

The problem is that microsofts additions are things like clippy or cortana in windows which few people want. Seriously, look at windows 10 and the cortana addition (forced in many cases) and ask -> did users WANT this, do users LIKE this.

Toast is going to be picked up happily. If microsoft tries to jam Cortana down IE users throats they are going to be in for a rude surprise.

The reason for google's dominance is in part because of how seriously they have taken the browser.

And it's probably used by many people who don't know how to optimize a query, so they go for big data clustered solution instead.
That's not how this works. What you're doing here is defining away the scope of the problem to make O(1) complexity analysis redundant. A bound of O(1) conventionally means that we can exploit some structural component of the input and the given problem to find a solution independent of the input size. If you redefine input size to the more narrow sense of inputs which don't have some sort of structural feature like that, then yes of course nothing is constant time. But then you're just shifting the difficulty of the problem around without much of a gain.
Clearly a Theranos pivot.

"The results I found were shocking: there were two clearly sustainable open source projects, but the majority (more than 80%) of projects that we usually consider sustainable are actually receiving income below industry standards or even below the poverty threshold."

I fear that open source is actually just the tech industry's group of underfunded-but-vital-infrastructures that are constantly either forced to work for poverty pay or go corporate/private(and externalize the costs to society as a whole). Similar to single-payer healthcare systems, domestic violence sheltering, child protection, pet shelters, and education systems.

Specifically that I fear once these entities try demand to be paid what they're worth, there will be criticism and controversy.
I think historically (like over the last 30 years) most successful open source projects have been maintained by people who have jobs for companies which do other things as their primary function and revenue producing business (whether non-software 'enterprise' or other software products; or academic/non-profit), who work on the open source on company time.

While I think there may be structural reasons that this is harder to do now (including increased complexity of software, and companies more ruthlessly chasing 'efficiency'), it seems important to at least include in the discussion.

For instance, OP says:

> Only accept jobs at companies that donate a significant portion of their profit (at least 0,5%) to open source, or companies which don’t fundamentally depend on open source for their products

OK, but how about "or companies that have employees, ideally including you, spending a significant amount of on-the-clock time originating, maintaining, or contributing to open source." Is this not mentioned because it somehow seems even less 'realistic' than companies donating 0.5% of profit to open source?

As for the rest of your comment, the general thrust of the page is accurate -- it is incredibly well-known that the Guardian has had a bone to pick with Julian Assange for years.

Yup, I've used that extension briefly in the past. It certainly provided nice features, but as with other similar extensions, it also altered the style quite a bit, which I wasn't too fond of.
Ever since I was a child I had this strange idea that I was missing fingers (I have 10 like most). From grade school till middle school I even kept counting them as if something was amiss. I mean, it's not like it's actively bothering me or something, but just a bit of a curious quirk: I think I should have 12 fingers. Although in my case it feels like they should be to the side of my pinky, not between the index and thumb. As far as I know my parents didn't have them removed at birth either. Funny enough I believe the gene for it is even dominant (meaning it needs only one copy to express the phenotype), it's just not very common in the general populous.
