That sounds odd to me that any site would own the copyright to lyrics. Wouldnt that be the artist / record company's property?

The value add of Genius isnt so much in the lyrics but in the explanation and context given grom Genius. I have even seen actual artists confirm interpretations and explain some things as well I think Hittman from Dr. Dre's 2001 album was one such artist if I remember correctly.

I do see what you are saying on the other hand but I dont think that lyrics written down from a song are some random websites copyright / property.
Is this not simply explained by the body becoming more econonmical at repeating the same action over time?

After 6 weeks of daily running the body will adapt to be more effcient at running, so won't need so much energy to perform the same activity.

Have you tried benzodiazapines? I wouldn't take them for a long time - withdrawal can be worse than heroin as many long time users are currently discovering after the government recently began cracking down on prescriptions.

But if they work for you, it will give you a clue that medication could be helpful, and there are lot of options that are less addicting.

Some people will say that therapy is helpful. I'm sure it is for some people, but when you have a serious neurological problem - for me it was exactly like my 'fight-or-flight' response was permanently on for some reason. The longer it would be in that state, the more I would think about it, and it becomes a vicious cycle.

You have to break the cycle for a while until your mind / body relearns how to relax.

Well, to whom are businesses accountable currently? Shareholders.

Naive solution: make impacted communities shareholders.
Not really. The boss is being picky while getting paid, whereas OP is offering a donation while being picky. Pretty different from a moral standpoint.

I would say it’s morally equivalent to not buying a product because they haven’t updated their blog in a long time and you can’t tell if the company is still active.
Well if average American or for that matter anyone does not gain anything from Google, Amazon, Apple etc then it would be reasonable to say no one really gains from technological progress.
I don't agree. Same that you cannot say that poor people tend to be more lazy without any passion and therefor not interesting. In my opinion it doesn't matter. Rich, poor or between. You got friendly and douches in all categories.
No mention of a org that's funding things that are actually "internet load bearing": https://www.coreinfrastructure.org/grants/

Also, this might be better described as Load-Bearing Individual Participants. If only to avoid distraction around what counts as internet-critical.

Beyond funding, what happens when they get burned out or take a vacation? Walls have many bricks. What makes these people unique?

Exercises in Programming Style: Function Composition
The thing that pisses me off the most about the Bay Area transit system is how slow it is compared to taking a car. I don’t understand how you can build a rail system that ends up taking 2x longer to get from point A to point B. Even aside from the spotty coverage it’s ridiculous how the train can take longer from station to station than driving
Lyrics that aren't verbatim aren't lyrics.
One factor worth considering from the study the article references, which it really should have acknowledged. Tactics such as minimization, are extremely effective in increasing the rate of true-confessions as well, which significantly outnumber the number of false-confessions.

https://www.researchgate.net/publication/7798075_Investigati...

"Results indicated that guilty persons were more likely to confess than innocent persons, and that the use of minimization and the offer of a deal increased the rate of both true and false confessions"

Condition, True confessions, False confessions

No tactic 46% 6%

Minimization 81% 18%
The lyrics are user submitted so sometimes a user already transcribed them on one site and ports them over. Other times its just illogical to think some lyrics site owns copyrights to the transcription of a song. Now only one single site can have it perfectly transcribed and everyone else has to shift words around in order to make it a unique work worth copyrighting? What.
It is shallow. Of course it is.
I highly suggest reading In The Realm of Hungry Ghosts by Gabor Mate(?). Fantastic eye-opening book. Addiction is very often about past trauma, and as few have any control over that, it might as well be considered the “addictive brain” in my opinion. Really a great book that opened my mind to new views.

Can there really be consequences for contradicting the other witness, without other indications pointing to who's right?

Contradictory witness statements have to be really common.
Given that people who know the law, can plead the fifth and avoid being interrogated at all, why doesn't the law just ban interrogation of the accused altogether? It creates a divide between people who have access to good lawyers vs those who don't and fall prey to such coercion.
I've heard that potatoes and dairy has all the nutrition you need. You could eat only that indefinitely and be relatively fine. Maybe not quite as balanced as soylent is trying to be, though.
The commenter restricted it to metro areas and I concur. There is not too much difference in density from cities like Seattle and San Francisco from European cities. I don’t think we should be building high speed rail from Anchorage to Lincoln, NE but there is no reason we can’t have a ubahn/sbahn system in each large city and high speed rail down the coasts
“The forum assumed retirees would need enough income to cover 70% of their pre-retirement pay, and didn’t include Social Security or other government welfare payments in the total.”

The above caveat is pretty huge...
Just to add a quick bit of advice. If you feel that rejection-sensitivity seems like you, along with depression, anxiety, etc. and no meds like SSRIs or anything else they've thrown at you have worked well, one of the most effective meds are MAOIs. Nobody knows why (like all psych meds), they aren't prescribed much - most younger psychiatrists know nothing about them nor do GPs, and there are some risks, but when all else fails...

I've been studying multiple Chinese dialects over the years and I think the one thing I want in a language learning application is a direct path to success.

I start on lesson A and continue to lesson Z. Too many are just a collection of random words and phrases.
I think few languages changed enough to be incomprehensible, on that period, but e.g the Norwegian of 1890 was basically Danish (over simplifying as we have a second language composed from dialects) and the Danish of the era was sufficiently closer to German that when I studied German I read a ca. 1900 Danish edition of Faust in parallel with the German because it was sufficient a 'midpoint' to help understand everything from sentence structure to vocabulary.

It would definitively be readable to a modern reader, but the differences can in some texts be sufficient to require a lot more conscious effort where English from that era seems to 'just' seem a bit odd and overly formal.

I do think it also depends a great deal if you know any related languages. E.g if you understand German and Danish, older Norwegian makes sense - I remember when it clicked for me that the best way of improving my German grammar was to when in doubt think about how older more formal Norwegian forms would be. I read a lot of adventure novels from the early 1900's, so I was familiar with that.

But I know class mates who were totally unfamiliar with Norwegian literature from that era who while they'd certainly understand it would found it more of an effort.
If they do speculative optimizations, then doesn't that open the door to Spectre-like vulnerabilities, but now at the compiler level?

Lovely. To inject some psychological precision, only his narcissism can be considered a personality disorder. Being old, white, or male... no. Not yet.

Correct, yet the average swiss citizen has twice has much net worth, so I guess the higher cost of living doesn't result in less money in their pocket.
Surprised no-one has yet mentioned AutoIT, it has a BASIC like syntax and is fairly well supported. On one level it's like a more accessible wrapper for Win32 GUI functionality.

Use it for making small programs for fun, the latest to download localised weather from the BBC and give a 1 liner summary or a longer 7 day forecast in a simple popup window.

Also use it for mouse gesture type programs, as an alternative to browser addons or native software.
Well, ok, Vegas... Well... You would have me there! Except that the ATF in FOIA requrest reported that they were aware of no crimes that involved bump stocks [0]

Aside from that, I could probably ask how the media was confidently able to report bump stocks were used - but that NOT A SINGLE official report or released info mentions them as being used. Only media coverage.

Everyone should be extremely skepical of the extreme limited amount of confirmed information released on Vegas. Not implying any sort of conspiracy at all, but there is clearly something atypical with that event.

But hey, maybe the ATF and the Criminal Enforcement System of Records is wrong!

[0] http://www.captainsjournal.com/2019/05/01/foia-response-from...

edit: For additional info on Vegas. The ATF says up front they were never authorized to examine the firearms in the Las Vegas shooting (highly irregular). They can't say they were R/DIAS, Lightening links, illegal sear conversions, crank trigger, bump stocks or just shot quickly. [1] That data on still should have been added to and appeared the CESR though, which it does not.

My personal opinion is that the photos released show bipods - Bump stocks don't work from bipods!

I remember Larry Chiang. Whatever happened to him? He always seemed so lacking of substance but somehow figured out how to show up everywhere. Is he actually the international man of mystery who made it big but keeps his secrets to himself, or just a con artist barely making it by living in a cheap apartment? Obviously the world isn't that black and white but I really wonder what happens to people like him.

The beauty of software is only one person needs to get it right and then we all can use it.
The immediate popup that wants my email is annoying. I get why sites have this but letting you know everybody hates these popups.

None of the categories work if you click the main landing page icons but do work if you click the drop down Suggestions menu (on the desktop version, using Firefox 60.7.0esr however the mobile version the main icon category links work).

The Features options (which are hard to use on a mobile screen) have nothing to explain what they are, and assume knowledge of the reader. These options under Features to narrow the product listings could probably just be a single tick instead of no/yes boxes too. For example 'Accepts paypal' could be just one tick, instead of 'Yes/No/Unknown'. There is also inconsistent design here, with some pages listing 'Pricing: Free/Paid' as tick options then other pages 'Free Plan: Yes/No' 'Paid Plan: Yes/No'. I would pick one consistent design. You may also want to audit your site for accessibility compatibility, lot's of img alt text does not convey the same information as the image.

There should be some kind of caveat/more info about audited category, since it doesn't mean much if the person writing the software is a well known PhD crypto engineer, such as Tarsnap. Who is qualified to audit it? Who did the auditing and where is this information, seems like this should be included in the product summary instead of a no/yes answer. The 'Naughty List' could easily fill up with a thousand entries, you'd want to add that to specific category pages like https://prism-break.org/ does though I would personally avoid telling people what not to use, every product has had some kind of security breach. Finally the summary under some of the products as "Security Issues: Good" is worthless, as again none of the feature categories are explained anywhere. For example you list Telegram as 'good', but if you ask Moxie Marlinspike about it he'll give you a laundry list of severe unaddressed Telegram problems and shady practices so this is another impossible category. The upvoting seems like it will just be gamed by companies to shill their product, I don't see a benefit. Maybe you could offer reviews instead but make them specific reviews, like QoS, not allowing for useless star reviews or free text where random people can rant "This is run by CIA" or whatever.

Edit: extra work, but you could think about pricing tier filters, since let's be honest that's what most people care about. "Show me the cheapest options" like how logical increments website works https://www.logicalincrements.com/

Most of the entry level white collar jobs that can be automated have been.

Those that remain would require some major and I mean order of magnitudes improvements in AI.

Can you give me some examples of white collar jobs that you think can be automated?
Same experience and background as you. I worked for Atlassian in Sydney from 2008-2013.

I found Australia to be a relative Utopia compared to the USA. After traveling around to other countries and living in Australia, then coming home, I realized that America is one of the most indoctrinated cultures I've experienced. We're indoctrinated with the idea of our own superiority. We can't see how much better other countries are doing modern life.
Contrary to popular believe, automatic loop vectorization is not as important to most Java workloads as one might think. It gets a lot of visibility as it causes significant peak performance differences in micro-benchmarks.

In the end, you should not trust standard benchmarks and definitely not micro-benchmarks. Do perform tests with your own workload.
Why SpaceX Is Making Starlink
> Transportation is the biggest difference between the us and a lot of the rest of the world. Switzerland is the size of a small New England state. Mass transit is a tough thing to scale.

What about railways in China? I don't think size matters, it's more a question of political will: take Germany (or even worse the UK) and France and compare their train systems, France is just light years ahead in terms of low prices and fast speeds, all other factors (country size, economy, terrain) are pretty similar.

You know, I don't want to bare all of my dad's demons on social media. But yeah, there's an answer to that question.
But what shall we do? Not continue to spread the word to our fellow Americans that things can be better? I'm privileged enough to have had opportunities to see how the rest of the world manages societal and economic systems. They do it better. Before I saw for myself, I simply wasn't aware. The American way was The Way.

All it took was for me to see for myself how much better it could be to turn me into an activist to make it better here. I want to spread that message to as many people as possible so we can all try to make America better.
It really should ban interrogation without a lawyer but also if someone waives their rights they should have a mandatory discussion with a lawyer. If they waived their rights before a lawyer even showed up thats a whole lot of sketchiness going on.
A bit OOT, has anyone tried Scala on Graal? How's it?
I'm saying that, as a society, we should not allow products that don't respect people's fundamental freedoms. The disagreement between us is whether privacy should be considered a constitution-level fundamental freedom. In fact, in my country (Germany), the Supreme Court has ruled that it is.
They're not entertainers, there should be no demands.

But I'd think talking a little about their interesting work might serve to better convey what they do to those who are aware of it and reach a wider audience. What ESR has tried obviously hasn't worked, would a half hour chat about their work once a year or a twitch session, or whatever else really make no sense under any circumstance?
Interesting that you decided to exclude Boston, Chicago, DC, and Philly from your list.

NYC is a massively overbuilt city, much of which is on an island of bedrock. It wouldn't be any better if it was in Russia with the same geography.

Not sure how Amtrak being more expensive than flying is relevant. Plus, I don't think you want to compare train coverage in the US vs Russia. Most of Russia's land area doesn't have good train coverage.
I know what the lens library does - I write Haskell for my day job.

In practice, the main reason people use it is to work around the deficiencies of Haskell's built-in record system:

>I never built fclabels because I wanted people to use my software (maybe just a bit), but I wanted a nice solution for Haskell’s non-composable record labels.(http://fvisser.nl/post/2013/okt/11/why-i-dont-like-the-lens-...)

The other features of lenses don't strike me as particularly useful. YMMV. I'd also question the quality of the library. It's full of junk like e.g. http://hackage.haskell.org/package/lens-4.17.1/docs/src/Cont..., which is just an invitation to write unreadable code.
I believe situation for long-term investing like retierement is getting worse. After all quantitive easing and low level of interests rate, the capital gains on safe assets are minimal accounting for inflation. As an aftermatch capital gains on everything else are getting lower. Years of 10% gains over long-time are over, even 8% looks over-optimistic over long term for huge amount of people.

Maybe our capital system couldn’t effieciently store so much savings while keeping reasonsble economic growth with ageging population.

At this point AGI and universal basic income may be the best hope for the bottom 90% of population.
I mean yeah, Switzerland is a great place to live if you're rich.

Pressing, yes, but between the two of us you can tackle those issues that are near and dear to you (while garnering benefit for us all) while I focus on transportation. There's no need for every person to focus on the same issue - otherwise we better all head out to Africa and start irrigating, or something else that has the greatest Utility.
In developing countries, the retirees' retirement is often their children. I think people need to keep in mind how important children can be in terms of securing your comfort in your old age.
If you look at the stats, the ratios are getting worse
Anecdote. I came to America from Iceland two years ago and I would say: “It’s complicated”. When I arrived I received much higher salary combined with a lower cost of living, more cultural variety, etc. But at the same time I left behind 4 weeks of paid vacation, 9 months of maternity/paternity leave, free education, a public health insurance, etc.
Saving and investing are good in general. Having a fuckyou fund helps your career as well. You can take on more risk and be more assertive at job.
Today’s “One Thing”
I do have a shelter dog. She’s 11, and was rescued by a great organization in upstate New York that had her shipped from Tennessee when she was weeks old to save her from being put down. I got her at 6 weeks (way too early, but she was already separated from her mother way too early).

Meghan, my AKC registered dog, is a Labrador specifically being trained for retrieving work, and as a therapy dog. Her kennel is an incredible family run facility in South Carolina, which specializes in hunting dogs (although Meghan isn’t used for bird retrieving specifically). She’s not from a puppy mill, has never been locked in cages to be sold, and her parents were bred specifically based on health screens, accomplishments (champion retrieving work), and disposition.

If the AKC is an association of animal abusers, I guess I’m one of the lucky ones.

Poor quality articles. They use flexbox and provide no fallback for older browsers. They could use at least non-responsive layout for desktop resolution for older browsers. Probably the reason why they didn't do it is lack of knowledge of CSS.
This could easily be simply because Pacman doesn’t do as much as apt. For instance apt tracks symbols exported by shared libraries. Pacman doesn't.
