That's generalized to the point of uselessness, isn't it? "You're contributing to imperialist wars" - "No, I'm not" - "well, not personally, but if everybody on earth stood together and said no, nobody would be going to war".

You're very right that marketing needs to put food on the table too, that's what I hinted at regarding being forced. There's a very clear difference though, in deciding what to do (marketing) and not deciding what to do (devs, at least those where they aren't involved in the decision, which is a lot).

Whoever is in charge could very much make a different choice in this particular manner, a developer getting a task cannot. What a marketing person can't do, similarly, is say that they won't do their job. How they do their job is mostly up to them, just as the developer tends to be free in choosing how they get that 3rd-party-lib into the site, as long as they do it.
The linguistics of Philadelphia and the surrounding area are some of the best-studied in the world since UPenn pioneered the academic study of sub-dialects of American English:

The EFF is right in expressing the concern that the Alphabet agenda might be (and seems to be) reflected in the code.

Google is choosing to keep away freedom from the users in the name of "security", without bothering to completely fix the issue.

The consequence of this approach is that users were not protected and will not, scammy extensions will continue to thrive.
The tech will improve. Fingerprint data from cards use to be high tech.

Also the William & Will West case was an older example of misidentifying by photography. Modern tech has improved dramatically and will get more and more precise. Why apply early 2000’s tech issues to the advancements made in the past 15-20 years?
Zip tie guns can help solve that problem- it's pretty easy to get about the right tension, and then lock it down to that. I use one, and haven't dinked a single cable since I got mine set up properly.

They're a bit expensive, but well worth it, especially if you're doing something that's likely to be near-permanent.

The point is to generate a 302 redirect, so I guess it doesn't matter what example.com is actually serving if you never see it. But the captive portal may forward you along to it after you authenticate.

This doesn't do anything to prevent a MITM at all, just that if neverssl.com starts serving crap you have a nonzero chance of loading it when trying to use it to generate a redirect. If there's a local MITM you're in trouble either way.
Hah, was that only a PG county thing? I just assumed that was everywhere.

Research equipment is great and all, I'm not one of those "Why are we wasting money on toys" folks, but there is a real difference between sending a fancy RC car to Mars and enabling us meatbags to get there, with companies like Blue Origin and SpaceX more focused on the latter.
They don’t have to use the post office. They can prepay customs. They can send it signature not required, or they can ship with a shipper that makes a delivery appointment.

It’s still the seller’s fault if the goods you paid for don’t arrive at the agreed delivery location, regardless of shipping circumstances.

Almost the entire point of raising the cap would be the resulting wealth transfer. Doing it with an opt out wouldn't fix the problem.
The fifth dimension is theoretical, yes. It turns out that you can get classical electricity and magnetism out of the Einstein equations by adding a fifth, rotationally symmetric spatial dimension (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kaluza%E2%80%93Klein_theory). Some people had hopes that quantum mechanics could fall out of the einstein equations in a similar fashion and this hope sort of lead to string theory, which needs to add further dimensions beyond the rotationally symmetric U(1) group of Kaluza-Klein theory to support the SO(3) (I believe) group of the electro-weak force (so they add 4 more dimensions) then further dimensions for the strong force symmetries. This latter part isn't my specialty so I am hazy on the details, but it falls under gauge theory.

So, while the fifth dimension is at the moment largely theoretical, it holds some interest in the field of gravitational physics due to some elegant constructions that fall out of it. It may be that the scalar field it predicts could describe dark matter: https://arxiv.org/abs/hep-ph/0207125.

National Journal (Atlantic Media) | Senior Web Developer | Washington, DC | Onsite | https://nationaljournal.com

Tech Stack: We spend most of our time in Python/Django and Javascript. Our frontend is mostly jQuery but we're changing that now (we do a bit with both React and Vue). Other things we work with daily/semi-daily include Postgres, ElasticSearch, MongoDB, Neo4j, Pandas, and Less.

Portchain (container shipping startup) | Full-stack software engineer | Remote | Copenhagen, Denmark

Requirements:

5 years minimum of professional experience in Software Engineering. Experience with any or all of the following technologies is a plus: Node.js, React, TypeScript. Startup experience valued.

Our company:

Did you know that 90% of all goods globally are transported through a container, and the largest container vessels are 400 meters long and can transport 20,000 containers at a time? The container shipping industry is the back-bone and enabler of global trade, but it is struggling. At its core the industry is fundamentally inefficient: 50% of all container vessels globally are delayed coming into port, and key planning processes are done manually on a global scale. This leads to high operational costs, lost revenue, and unnecessarily high greenhouse gas emissions

Portchain is a 2 year old Danish container shipping startup devoted to help container carriers and terminals reduce operational complexity and optimize planning. We apply cutting-edge AI leading to both a better bottom line and less greenhouse gas emissions.

We are an international team of 15 people serving a global customer base and several of the largest companies in the industry. We have received $5M in funding to expand the team in order to serve our increasing customer traction.

Apply here: https://www.portchain.com/careers/full-stack-software-engine...
Yes, thank you. I deliberately avoided attributing anything to ideology. At the end of the day, both countries are chiefly comparable in having nationalized their oil resources for the public benefit, at least de iure. Also Venezuela was actually doing quite well I believe in 2013 when prices were high. It was a singular failure of their stewards not to diversify the profits.
I agree that hostels are fun for the reasons you said, but I've also gotten bed-bugs, I have shared a bunk with a dude who snored so loud he put ear plugs in his own ears.

I have been in a hostel with two scary ass dudes from a favela or something, luckily I wasn't the young, female solo-traveller they kept hitting on - literally: "kissy kissy?"

There are a million reasons to NOT stay at a hostel.

Can anyone recommend a seed catalog?

"Mr. Kurdieh’s love of dining out, his obsession with reading seed catalogs and his ability to talk to chefs about flavors have all helped Norwich Meadows Farm stand out."
Hi Ellis! For others browsing in the thread... Ellis is a really sharp guy who would be a total pleasure to work with.
This is something I think is justifiable in time-sensitive cases like tracking down a kidnapper, but I fear there's no way to grant such power and expect its use to always remain narrow. In my opinion, most issues in our country come from the compounding of lots of well-intentioned systems built up over several centuries that no longer even remotely serve their original purposes.
My local PD wants to do this. The need the City Commission to pass a resolution allowing them to sign this agreement.

I spoke with one of my commissioners who then had a meeting with the Police Department. The end result was the Police removed the item from the Commission meeting because they needed more time to prepare, justify and lay out policies in its use.

Had I not reached out this likely would have been rubber stamped.

Properly managed landfill is given a cover to prevent gas release, and gas harvested via wells. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Landfill_gas

Anaerobic decay of carboniferous matter produces much less carbon loss as gas than aerobic decay. Captured methane is destructively utilised, reducing its greenhouse gas concerns. Processing fibre crops into particular bioplastics can also reduce potential for gaseous decay.

This seems favourable when compared to trees which produce large quantities of openly decaying matter (e.g. fallen leaves) throughout their lives, and unless lumbered, will almost entirely decay when they die.
Energy efficiency is one important factor limiting the clock rate. (Otherwise, 4 GHz does not sound extreme these days.)
The Norwegian fund is principally for our descendants. The state has a self-imposed limit on how much of the revenue of the fund can be spent each year, the capital is untouched as far as I know. Also what money is spent is spent by the state rather than by individuals; no guarantee that it will be spent wisely of course but a greater degree of likelihood that it will be spent on something of lasting value perhaps.

Why does he selp stock to fund Blue Origin instead of taking out debt backed by shares? If the past is any indication, such debt would make way more financial sense than selling shares.

I don’t know how long he’s been doing this, but he’s leaving billions of dollars of returns on the table.

And don’t anyone say he doesn’t want the exposure, because he clearly does.

Traversing the Land of Graph Computing and Databases
Right, the emphasis being on "pursue new things and be creative". UBI is generally not intended to allow people to live out their entire lives without doing anything of value for anyone else. And if you're doing things that are valuable to the rest of society, you are paid under capitalism.

So the hope with UBI is that you should never need it for your entire life because you're not making any money at all.

I feel like all we had to do was charge a very high extraction rate (calculated where 20% of the profit is more than enough to fully restore the ecosystem), have stringent rules in place about pollution, then actively use funds to clean up the environment

Sure, I'm asking for actual traits, which makes something easily or hardly parsed. The only languages that I find more readable than OCaml are Ada, Pascal and SML. What causes mental overhead in OCaml/SML syntax for you?

Do you find

more readable than

val test : (int -> int -> int) -> int

Maybe, you've just got used to it?

I did some quick math and with their current annual return rate of 5.8%, the returns from the the Oil Fund could finance the government's budget entirely once it gets to be about $2T in size. That's about 2x its current size.

That's still about 20 years away at their current growth rate, and the government budget would probably increase by then, but it's still probably achievable. What happens then? Norway could theoretically cut its other income, including income tax, to zero and still maintain its current expenses.
