I'm afraid I don't understand your response.

Your initial message ended with "Speaking louder in public place is not breaking any LAW." This indicates that you were responding to some claim that the counter-protesters had broken a law by being louder in public. I haven't seen any claims resembling that so I'm curious to see where you did.
No. The reason is because it is easy for the app developers to detect when you are using a VM. The ad networks also have a bunch of detection software running to find it as well. Same goes for using proxy/vpn. You will be banned very quickly for doing it. Do not even attempt it.
After researching the UK electrical system, I realize I was mistaken on one regard. I thought they used 2-ungrounded conductors, but I was mistaken. The red wire is the only ungrounded. This would be the same as the black wire in a US house. The red wire is their grounded/neutral. This would be the same as a white wire in a US house.

I am correct on the EGC, though. It works the same as the EGC in the US. If a ground fault causes a house to burn down, then the breaker will absolutely NOT open. That's how the fire starts: current flows through something it shouldn't long enough to heat it up to the point that something ignites. If the breaker opens, the fire wouldn't have started in the first place.
I've come in to fix bugs caused by ASI many a time. Having an explicit character to denote the end of a statement is much more valuable than people pretend.

And don't get me started on meaningful whitespace vs brackets.
That's what I (sort of) learned the hard way :) So most useful animations like the collapsing list item in the article are nigh impossible in CSS.
So I'm guessing if you're approaching 40 and want to become a developer you should seriously consider other options.

I've actually seen this talked about a lot. The arguments against it is usually anecdotal but the arguments for it is usually statistical. It's a tough thing for people to accept I think. Is there any statistics out there that actually disputes this claim? Not arguing for or against it just out of curiosity.

>easter eggs now show a lack of oversight

no. Easter eggs show lack of "zero tolerance" corporate posturing. Which isnt to say that such posturing isnt important part of the security theater.

The cartoons, easter eggs, etc. is a "human touch", a sign that the product is done by people who love (or at least feeling something toward) their job, not by drones. Modern corporate environment is based on droning and has naturally extinguished that human culture.
"I have a lot of trouble trying to gain weight. How easy is it too actually eat enough calories fasting that much?"

Although I do not wish to gain weight, I do have trouble maintaining a set weight that I would like to live (and compete) at.[1]

And yet, I am on a 16/8 or even 18/6 fasting schedule about four days per week.

The answer, for me, is almond butter. Tremendously dense in calories and very easy to add 1/3 cup (or more) to a meal replacement shake. It's one of the easiest ways I have found to have a 1500 calorie meal that doesn't involve a tremendous bulk of food. Avocados are another food that fits this same bill.

My understanding is the insured patients are subsidizing all the others covered by medicare, medicaid or those uninsured.
Hmm okay starting to make more sense now. Do you know a good visual explanation that shows the "path" electricity takes from the transformer to your home and back out to the ground rod. Note: I fully understand in AC the electrons aren't actually moving along this path. But I guess I don't see how the circuit is ever "complete" or a circle.
There is a psychological part where doing things makes you happy, eventually you exhaust that and the amount of money is the only measure you have. That is what makes people greedy even if they have billions, they still want more. Just how we evolved.

mods are quick to silence anything tangentially political (that is not about US propaganda war), but I'm glad they missed this one.

very relevant to the current climate. It brings up the important distinction between exile, refugee, hedonist. Its very, interesting (?), to see the three groups converging to the same country as you see the contemporary political changes creating refugees on one side, hedonists with their new found money on the other, and exiles in the middle.

Also important the call to how Mail in the 70s was so important to this all. Bringing back the current propaganda wars, this should be a central point on the ongoing talks to add backdoors to whatsapp and many other platforms that were being discussed here last week.

I wonder if there is any investment in bio-engineering a better plant or tree? Maybe just simple evolution working from our best carbon sinking trees, rapid prototype through generations, only breeding from the best stock?
I was taught (as a Canadian from an English family) that the only people who should be addressed as "doctor" in normal conversation are MDs and active/retired college/university professors. What is common etiquette today?
In the Y2K era I made a Linux firewall that fit on a single floppy disk: kernel, vi, and a tiny partition config mounted as a loopback device. 1.44MB and it ran great!

Linux owes its existence to the floppy, for years that was the only way to bootstrap it. Good to see support going forward.
Relieving to hear this as I've had almost exactly the same experience and it made me feel like an actual idiot.
Electric potential is created by a difference in electric charge between two points. Because it's a measurement between two points, it is never absolute -- "a very low electric potential" is meaningless unless you've defined what it's low relative to. A battery/electric outlet/transformer creates a potential difference across its terminals, and that's why electricity wants to flow from one terminal to the other. Usually, the terminal with the lower (more negative) potential is defined to be the 0V measurement, but this is arbitrary and out of mathematical convenience -- we could call it 1V or -1000V, and the circuit would still work the same (all that matters is the difference between the two terminals, not the absolute value of either terminal).

The neutral lines of circuits are often tied into Earth, making the voltages of the neutral line and the earth equal to one another at what we've defined to be 0V (for reasons of convenience and safety). There's no intrinsic property of Earth that gives it a low electric potential, and electricity doesn't intrinsically want to flow back into Earth.
TIL: there is an Apache Incubator raft project: http://ratis.incubator.apache.org/.
I've seen plenty of Scala codebases grow without ever needing an overall redesign, and don't see why it would be different for any other language. Of course the end state is very different from the start state, and no doubt pieces end up getting rewritten many times over. But being able to incrementally evolve the codebase while keeping it all working is much easier and cheaper than having to rewrite in one go. In my experience you only need a "redesign" when you did too much design up front in the first place; if you always keep code changes driven by concrete use cases and avoid premature generalisation, you end up with a codebase that won't impede future changes any more than it has to.
Google Starts Testing Its Google Play Subscription Service
I don't really see a big problem. You register a copyright within a year of publication. The only one who can renew it is you or someone you designate, which must have a paper trail. You supply contact info. If you cannot be contacted by that contact info, copyright claims for your work are not enforceable.

If you can't be bothered to do this, why should you be entitled to copyright protection?
Again [1] this narrative of the protectionist US vs. free-trade champion China. Yet China has been heavily protectionist since long before the US started firing back [2].

I cannot imagine these journalists lack this very basic knowledge, which makes me think they are being deliberately deceptive in their framing.

You think Stadia is viable considering the lag? It's obviously worthless for competitive or even serious gamers. I am skeptical it will be enticing for casual gamers.
I kept hearing this, then Google migrated to InteliJ as basis for Android Studio and I changed my mind about Eclipse (for the better).

Most shortcuts are only three keys instead of relying on both hands, files get incrementally compiled on save, just like Netbeans I can use Ant or Maven as the project format, indexing actually stops instead of being done every time application starts, my humble laptop doesn't sound like a propeller plane getting ready for take-off, Javadoc works out of the box without having to dive into settings, no more hunting for problems, easily displayed dynamically without having to trigger manual inspections, ...
No, modern smartphones allow you to have assistants that listen all the time. Disabling those is one of the first things I do, and I'd be pretty unhappy if it turns out those are still listening and wasting battery (even aside of privacy issues).
Why? Why are insurance companies not demanding cash price and reducing premiums? There should be lawsuits against hospitals, this seems like something which is generally considered highly illegal at this sort of scale... charging different customers different prices -- especially when the ones paying more are more than capable of taking hospitals to court.

DC and the surrounding metro area both have a surprising amount of trees. I work in Tyson's Corner, not far from DC at all, and the view from the office is trees as far as the eyes can see with occasional outcroppings of towers. Rock Creek Park basically bisects the entire city as well.

In the UK we used to have red, black and green, but now we have brown, blue and green/yellow (I think this is the same as rest of EU). I presume this is because of colour blindness reasons as there are folk who can't distinguish red and black that well.

This is a misunderstanding how how government works. You need to have some kind of institution in order to get anything enforced. Building up institutions full of competent people with a mandate to craft and enforce carefully designed regulations and respond to changing circumstances is the way to attack these kinds of big problems.

(Of course, institutions can only be so effective when their leadership is unlawfully replaced with incompetent industry hacks by the next administration; the only way to tackle that is with higher-level political action: court fights, impeachment, and ultimately elections.)

Just laws on the books doesn’t accomplish anything. There are already plenty of laws against ripping off consumers, but corporatist ideologues in control of the US Supreme Court have spent the last several decades watering down the potential liability via increasingly tendentious reinterpretations.

CSS animations/transitions are very smooth (opacity/transform) and make it easy to implement really cool effects once you understand how they work.

The biggest drawback and problem I encountered is that Chrome is very, very, bad at maintaining rendering quality in certain situations. The problem is not that the element you are trying to animate gets blurry (eg. trying to animate text, it will be rendered on GPU, thus moved to its own layer, it might become blurry sometimes), but the problem is that OTHER elements on the page are affected. Try to scale-in the logo in top left of the page? Great, now the text in right sidebar starts jiggling while the animation is running. Want to turn around an image on hover? No problem, only that the SVG icons on the page now have a line artifact through them. Those issues only happen in Chrome, which seems to try too hard (and to have also tried) to optimize for performance over quality.
I think it's mostly because of PHP frameworks. From my experience with PHP (and, admittedly, not very much experience with Java), I got the impression that a lot of the PHP Framework developers read all the "state-of-the-art" Java literature on how you should build software and then they implemented that in PHP.

They just ignored the fact that Java is compiled which makes all the layers of abstraction less of an issue whereas PHP is interpreted at runtime* hence why there are few high traffic websites on PHP that don't have at least four layers of caching.

* Yes, I know this is getting better with every version, opcache getting a lot of attention in the last few minor releases and all that, but there is only so much optimization you can do with dozens and dozens of layers of factories and services. My guess is that it does a LOT more for "simple" software like WordPress and less for, say, Symfony based projects.

Question: how is Philip K Dick in public domain already?
I completely agree with this. I'm nearing 40 and have been consulting remotely for the past 5 years and have a side business, that will eventually be my full-time income.

The problem is that it's impossible to rely on any one company until you retire. Although I've been keeping my skills updated to the latest technology and trends, if I suddenly lose my job at 50, it's going to be really tough to find another one.
I used to do this awhile back and yes it is true. You could make around $1,000-$2,000 per month in gift cards doing it with maybe 50-70 phones. Most apps being used were 100% passive. The only thing you needed to do was restart the phone every 24 hours. The apps would run and show ads to you and just loop over and over. So what about electricity costs? for running 70 phones 24/7 in a month, that was about $10 more in power. Each phone cost around $20 which I bought off ebay. These were phones where the screen was cracked, the IMEID was blacklisted and some I think were reported stolen as well. This was maybe 3-4 years back though. Over the years, the whole thing has come tumbling down. Now you'll make maybe $100/month and it isn't passive anymore, so not worth doing it but back in the day....we were banking it no doubt about it. Also, yes I would pay tax on all of it. The companies would send a 1099.

This was the guy who showed me how to do it. I just basically copied his routine exactly:

Thanks! We're actually cheaper than MTurk for the same participant reward. We take a 33% fee, while MTurk takes 40%.

1) You can run follow up studies through our platform using anonymous identifiers we provide.

2) ~40%

3) We have many more filters when you create an account. The "Number of children" filter is actually a followup to a "Do you have children?". If you select "No" you'll see we have ~ 38,755 active participants who are childless.

4) Good question, I don't have good stats on this right now. The process of setting up a study is mostly touchless for us, especially for 'expert' users who have run online research elsewhere. Support mostly consists of billing issues, custom filtering, and complex studies (we sell to universities, so billing can be complex). We're working on improving onboarding and making the whole process as self-serve as possible.
„‚cultural rebirth’ after the gloomy Middle Ages”

Not the point of the article, but that slanderous characterization of the Middle Ages for some reason refuses to die even centuries following the fanaticism of the Reformation and the Enlightenment. It is well understood that the Middle Ages were a remarkeable period, culturally speaking. The Renaissance frankly grew out of the Middle Ages.
Exactly! Nobody seems to realize that we already have a shitty (for-profit) form of socialized health care.
If you follow with some of the "ancestral genetic memory" theories, this makes sense. Our species came about in a grassland punctuated by rocky outcroppings and trees. Trees and rocks often meant safety from the predators below. Open grass meant exposure on all sides. We don't really think of ourselves this way anymore, but not that long ago, humans sat more in the center of the food chain that we currently do.
People need high quality cages with open floors... Not nature, take paradise put up a parking lot... It's more profitable.
"Advanced malware"? "Possibly nation sponsored"?

This is a pretty obvious phishing email ("Dear participant...") with a Word macro which would have to be explicitly allowed in order to run even under Word's default settings.

Like many of these announcements, it's really just an advertisement for a vendor whose company "was able to block all phishing attempts used against the three customers in this campaign".
I am a borderline lawn nut. After spending a lot of time getting the lawn well established, healthy, and vibrant, the on-going maintenance to keep it looking very nice is not particularly onerous. I doubt it's even 25 hours of total labor across the year, all told (for a 6500 ft^2 of lawn city lot).

That's part of why I left my caveat in there about the future. We've had chips to detect wakeup words for a while now. From what I know about song detection, that's likely to be doing yet more stuff, but still nowhere near enough for full voice transcription yet. But it is only a matter of time before your phone can be doing full voice transcription, with good guesses as to who the speaker is, full time. Squirting a full day's transcript of your speech up would be very easy to hide in all the chatter a phone already has, and squirting up just selected "suspicious" speech could easily be hidden in just the metadata network traffic of a phone.

We have not historically been there, which informs people's about cell phones, and we are not quite there yet. 4 or 5 years maybe.

(Although I have some interesting thoughts on how to deal with that. It would be fun to take one of these "transcribing phones" into a movie theatre, then fire the MPAA at Google for copyright infringement.)

This is going to seem pedantic but like just sharing my perspective. Central Park sooo doesn't feel like a forest to me. It's like walking around a crowded lawn (ok maybe thats a bit dramatic). But Central park really doesn't do it for me; when I'm in NYC I need to spend time in Prospect Park (which is closerrr to a forest) or else I go crazy
You just reminded me of a curiosity that were the DVD-RAM discs - they came in plastic cases with a sliding window(exactly like a floppy) and there were special drives that accepted them in the case. However you could remove it from the case and most regular DVD drives would read and write them without any issues.
