Saw this elsewhere, and someone pointed out that choliform bacterial contamination, where it exists, is worse at the top of the aquifer, so people drill deeper to get to the cleaner water.

We should really take a look at how that stuff and nitrates from fertilizer are getting down there in the first place. Either our model of aquifers is wrong in very important ways or existing wells are getting backwash problems (eg, ground water following the outside of the bore down, or negative pressure when the pump is off pulling water in through defects in the pipes)
Background: I grew up and spent my young adulthood in poverty. I used a hypothetical character from The Simpsons, but I have in mind some very much non-hypothetical characters, including some who threatened my family after I complained about their playing loud music with a subwoofer in the wee hours of the morning. Nowadays, I've clawed my way out of poverty, and I pay a (very large) premium to have a house where I don't have to worry about that kind of stuff any more. I'm sympathetic to the problem of housing affordability (duh: I've been on the other side), but before you address that, you have to come up with a reasonable alternative solution to make sure the people who like partying all night go in one place and the people who like sleeping all night go in another place. Nothing to do with race or class, and it's super unfortunate that in our capitalist society, class is the only proxy for accomplishing that cultural distribution.

I'm an amateur gem faceter -- if you want something that's actually rare, choose a non-diamond colored stone. A ruby or sapphire is far more rare.

Personally, I advocate for lab created stones. It is flawless, you can get the exact color you want (I have something like 20 different colors of sapphire), and won't break the bank. You can spend your money where it counts -- paying for the skills of the cutter -- rather than on a chunk of rough that has been cut sub-optimally to maximize preserving the weight of the stone rather than the brilliance of the cut.
I'm an atheist but even I can see that this is an outdated view of churches in at least some of America.

It's almost a little strange from my perspective how many churches are now almost secular in nature. Yes, they talk about god, good and evil, and read scripture. But it's much less prescriptive than it used to be and almost sounds like a pep-talk about being a good person, good spouse, and a good parent.

Obviously this is from the rare interactions I have with churches -- usually in support of extended family.

Append style programming is very interesting, especially when thinking of modelling future languages closer to natural language. This foray though seems to end up generating more problems than it's worth.

For one, its not clear how this aids easier development - hasn't it just shifted understanding of a complex program to understanding a complex overlapping sequence of b threads instead?

Secondly, and I think the nail in the coffin, the compiler would have to be brilliant at optimisation to make the final program performant. The idea of 'show ads' later being disabled by another overlapping b thread - does this mean the network request is never performed? Or is it performed and the result thrown away, wasting resources. How would an 'offline mode' requirement be appended as a b thread in such a case?
I think there's truth to both. A great example of the second kind is Chrome Devtools (or firebug, or insert-other-browser-equivalent-here, but I think Chrome leads the pack here). Chrome's developer tools is a gold mine of incredibly useful tools for profiling, measuring, and understanding complex frontend applications, and most developers only use a tiny fraction of the features it offers. Learning devtools deeply has been one of the most worthwhile investments of my time in my short dev career.

But the reason I lean towards build-your-own is that, especially for libraries and dependencies, popular tools that are "production-ready" also tend to aggregate over time features that everybody wants, but might not be useful to me personally -- it's hard to stay focused while growing to be the dominant tool in the industry. And that also makes it difficult to understand it completely. I think I understand React _well_, but wouldn't dare say I understand it completely; I can confidently say I understand every single line of Torus, because I maintain all ~1000 lines of it. And that makes it easier to stay in "the flow" when working.

I'd imagine it's also a good way to filter out non-sociopaths from the three letter agencies.
I'd like to develop a blueprint for a cookie-cutter community for social security recipients. The blueprint would include design and construction for physical structures such as community spaces, bedroom spaces, land size, possibly food gardening areas, and activity areas.

Then, design a type of self-governing community 'constitution' that would direct operation of the community by the community. An expanded home owners association of sorts.

The community would be funded by the social security income of the residents. All residents who are still able work in some capacity to offset the costs of operation. Those who are no longer able to work would still remain and be assisted by other members and skilled nurses.

Professional services such as legal and counseling can be provided on site. Perhaps add a medication dispensary.

A single community could have, I don't know, 1,000 people? The average social security benefit in 2019 is $1,461. This would yield a $17,500,000 annual budget for the community to operate [3].

This is a similar concept as a Kibbutz, which works as an organizing approach in Israel [1]. One difference is that this community would be primarily funded by social security receipts, rather than industrial or business activities. Many costs of operation can be offset by growing their own food, making their own beer and wine, doing their own maintenance, managing the finances using standard corporate control policies.

Such an arrangement would have all the opportunities that seniors need: Social engagement, valued work, friendships, privacy when they want it, people watching out for each other, a feeling of contributing.

More importantly, it would be available to seniors who hit retirement with no wealth, and no income other than their social security check. There are 25 million Americans in this situation today [2].

It isn't weak. Not sure how you look for new content. In my case it is yt.com/feed/subscriptions. If you leave i might follow. But only if enough content is on your new website to warrant me opening that tab a few times a week. Maybe also with content very on schedule. But you can be sure I wont do this with many sides, so you better switch to the same platform as anyone else.

Also maybe once or twice a week I actually follow one of YTs recommendations. I'm unlikely to do the same on platforms with significant less content. I'd expect others to behave the same and thus you'd probably loose a lot of advertising. Being big on a smaller platform has its own advantages, but I'm not sure this cancels out. And you have to be one of the top dogs in the first place...
"Information feather" isn't a typical expression in the English language. The author is using that as a hypothetical phrase that someone who had never heard of a quill might think up in order to describe a quill in the same way that people who have never heard of a darkroom are calling it a "red room," not understanding its purpose. This is mostly intended as a joke.
> People used to use wood stoves just fine.

Citation needed for the "just fine" claim. Heating options were a lot more limited in the past for many people. If your choice is between freezing to death soon or making it through the winter but doing long term serious damage to your health, you'll pick the later, but it has hard to call that "just fine".
That was the model of LA and plenty of working class people retired with a considerable nest egg at the end of the process - in the 60s through the 90s.

The problem is you run out of rings. The three hour commute ring is unsustainable, unlivable and the trend-setters try to move into the center again, city size reaches a maximum and quickly thrown-up roads and bridges start to decay.

But this is the model the US set up and now it has painted itself into a corner in this fashion and many others.

It looks like flow based programming is exactly the same thing as functional composition. Can you illustrate to me how these two concepts are disparate?

I ask because if they are one in the same, then because the only way to link functions in functional programming is through function composition than functional programming is flow based programming.
I think the point was to examine just these two politicians to show that the two messages are the same in different clothing. It wasn't to suggest that there wasn't alternatives.

I would even say that the alternatives have the same issue.

Politician C: I will make sure that housing remains affordable.

Politician D: I will make sure that your housing investment does grow.

But C is (loosely) the negation of B and D is (loosely) the negation of A. While there are other choices, the likely ones people vote are are the first group (A, B) verses the second group (C, D), normally with the options appearing in their nicer forms.

In short, affordable housing and having homes be worthwhile investments are at odds with each other in most issues.

In Montana, that sort of agriculture would quickly destroy the soil.

It only takes a few passes with a plow to turn it into desert, so pretty much the only way of getting calories from land in Montana is by grazing cattle or bison.

Kind of irrelevant though, ranch land in Montana only support a few cattle per square mile.

Strawman, and not an especially relevant one tbh.

Life is generally worth living. You can have loving family. But you can also be doing nothing but waiting to die in a retirement home away from friends and family, in pain and hopped up on drugs.

It’s really not an empathetic thing to assert that people who are comfortable with the end of their life must believe they are not loved. Ending your life does not have to come from grief. It is BETTER to have acceptance and die than to die alone in fear. It is BETTER if people talk about this difficult subject rather than stave it off as long as possible. People will be happier if they can do this.

If your doctor tells you that you’re going to have an uncomfortable 3 years, it may make sense to you to just say no thanks and have an honest good bye with your family, saving you and them from the uncomfort to come.

It is ok to die. Even without (but for 99% of people only with) medical circumstances.

Ease of decode was one bit but there were a couple of other important ones.

(1) Because RISC chips were simpler they consumed less transistors. Because there were less transistors you could fit an entire CPU on a single chip of silicon which drastically improved performance.

(2) It was much easier to apply pipelining to load-store architectures than to architectures where instructions could contain multiple memory accesses or indirect memory accesses and also retain precise interrupts. Pipelining dramatically increased the rate at which instructions could execute.

Also, back in the CISC days the limitations of the memory subsystems available made it supremely important to optimize for minimizing instruction size and instruction bandwidth. This was far less of a concern by the time the RISC paradigm rolled around compared to other issues.

None of these will:

- "replace email"

- "increase productivity"

- "centralize communication"

None of them. Not a damn one. I've worked at over 20 startups, there has never been a single case where any of these claims are true. They purchase one of these damn chat clients, and it becomes the biggest timesink the entire organization has every. single. time.

But, you know what? You can't get rid of it. Everyone has it. Nobody wants to change off of it. So what do they do? Introduce other methods of communication through other apps. So no. It doesn't reduce it. If anything it increases the noise.

Also, you think you make the right choice in the beginning. It seems great, your 7-50 people organization works fine. Wait until it's over 300 people, 1000 people. It becomes an absolute nightmare.

Slack is probably the worst for 1000 people organizations. It was horrible at 150, then at 300 you start seeing people fight each other over rooms.

I actually find Chromium to be a lot more approachable than I assumed it would be. Have only really checked out the layout / graphics part of Blink, but it’s laid out pretty intuitively.

But yeah, Postgres also gets my vote. I guess there’s a bit of a bias there because devs are likely to read the code of the tools they use; either to track downs bug or just to understand how it works.
Looks like they're trying to continue the development of the "Smartisan" phone company, which has produced interesting products despite meager market share and even cashflow issues (https://technode.com/2018/11/19/briefing-smartisan-confirms-...), and build their own ecosystems around their own hardware instead of profiting from the hardware itself. But all previous attempts proved unsuccessful (Firephone, Facebook, ...), I wonder how they'll attract consumers? Mobile devices haven't seen many groundbreaking innovations for a while and the market is saturating (at least seems so in China).
This is like DRM in a way: it's a circumvention of the copyright system that removes protections/mitigations from the side of "the people" (the demos).

Such actions should void the copyright on the claimed media, either make a DMCA or put up with it. The use of this "side-channel with a supposition of benefit to favour media corps and no proper defense review or resolution" perverts the copyright system's balance in providing a deal between the demos and the creators (and other rights acquirers).

Google's facilitation of this (instigation?) IMO shows they've come along way from 'don't be evil'.
Microsoft gave two examples where telemetry helped them in an Arstechnica article a while back. One was fixing a bug in their alarm clock app, the other was fixing an audio driver issue. If these are their go to examples, seems to very much not be worth the price of admission in my opinion.

https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2017/04/micro...

"As an example the company offered us, there was a problem with the Windows Alarm app. The Alarm app can have more complicated interactions than one might think, due to its interactions with system sleep (it can wake a machine up if necessary) and the notification framework. Some Windows users reported that their alarms weren't consistently going off. As is often the case with annoying bugs, the problem was intermittent, appearing to occur randomly and hence difficult to reproduce for debugging. With information collected at the Full level from a broad range of affected machines, the company's developers were able to ascertain the precise combination of factors leading to problems, and discovered that alarms became more unreliable as they grew older. The bug was fixed, and a patch was deployed.

Another problem the company described to us was that certain combinations of audio drivers and audio hardware were resulting in audio that was broken or missing certain special effects. The telemetry data enabled the exact pairings of drivers and hardware that had issues to be pinpointed, enabling a fix to be developed."
I wouldn't call them thriving. I agree they will exist, but unless the price of batteries come down a lot they won't be cost effective. By the time a car needs a new battery it will already have a lot of other wear and not be worth much. Spending $5000 on a battery for a car worth $3000 after the fix isn't a good deal for most people. (if you keep the car for 10 more years it is, which is why the industry will exist) Of course both dollar values are made up, they are realistic with today's prices but subject to change.

It seems some posters here are missing an important point about engagement rings: they are a gesture of financial commitment. The expensive price tag is a feature, not a bug that can be solved by creating chemically-identical but inexpensive alternatives.

I agree that Churches are in a position to help, but there are lots of obstacles to overcome. Church attendance is shrinking. Older Churches cost a lot of money to maintain, and even more modern Churches still are not free to operate. In the Diocese of Pittsburgh, donations to parishes have shrunk by 20-30% since the AG report came out (rightfully so). Outreach services depend on volunteers (and to a lesser degree, money). There are a lot of Parishes where young people are increasingly hands-off/un-involved. If you don’t have young people, your volunteer pool to provide outreach services continues to get smaller. Add in Parishes merging and your Church building closing, people feel less invested in the “community” of their Church.

My mom does volunteer to spend time with people in nursing homes via the local Parish, but a once a week visitor isn’t much. Many of the people tell her that their kids rarely visit (or are too far away to visit) and their friends are also not mobile or have passed away. Even if the Parish had a mountain of volunteers, to visit everyone in even one 90 person home 3 times a week for an hour means 270 hours. That is a part time job for 10 people and that is only one small nursing home!
You should worry. Nearly the entire field of criminology is pseudoscience. Few techniques employed during the 20th century have stood up to scientific investigation which is because they were never developed scientifically in the first place. It's simply a veneer of science promulgated by those who haven't actually understood the scientific method.
A point well made. I conceded it could have been better written.

I still believe "redundant" comments can be of value though. This just may not be the best example.
