I had a period of time where I had to stay with my folks because of a period of not quite making enough money following Hurricane Katrina, so because of the shift work, I got a first hand view of my mom's routine as a housewife. Basically, she'd mop, do some laundry, and start cooking about 4pm. Her overall labor took about 1 - 2.5 hours a day, maybe a bit more if she needed to go grocery shopping. Essentially, not much more than any single person would do anyway, with a bit maybe shifted toward the weekends.

So then my dad retired, and he expected to behave like a retiree. He helps out: mopping, washing clothes, even cooking occasionally. She's constantly trying to find him extra stuff to do outdoors.

Why?

Because she enjoyed the domestic side of the domestic life of a housewife: spending hours watching tv and / or gossiping with her friends in the comfort of her home. For 30 years, she had a routine, and was essentially married to the routine as much as the man.

Yes it has and it is a great thing - hopefully no messages would be lost assuming that downtime is relatively short. This still does pose a (possibly minor) problem when some mails are urgent.
> According to your own link Crimean Tatars constituted 20% of the population in 1939, nowadays the number 12-15%.
I wouldn't call it 'greatly affected'.

Lots of people died as a result of the deportation. The uprooting inhibited the natural population growth over the years. Lots of Crimean Tatars now live outside of Crimea.
I think you mean 4 nines.

2GB of RAM use for 6 open tabs in Slack is pretty awful, their desktop client has set the bar to compete with Slack on performance very low.

This abusive resource usage has created a dislike of Slack among a subset of its users.
This feels like such a straw man.

First, people on the left who are resisting carbon taxes are mostly because they believe cap and trade is a better solution, which many economists agree with.

Second, what has some notion of "climate justice" got to do with anything? I don't see any evidence politicians on the left are somehow getting distracted by "value-signaling".

Third, where does the idea come from that a carbon tax must be matched with less regulation elsewhere? That's a pure right-wing dream to try to match the two together, there is no connection.

What this essentially sounds like is a Republican talking point that it's all Democrats' fault because Democrats aren't succeeding, despite Republicans refusing to help and therefore making it impossible to succeed. The doublespeak and hypocrisy makes your head spin...

I didn't mean to imply any overthrow of the government or any sort of vast conspiracy, I was referring more to 'manufactured consent' along the lines of Chomsky. Even if there's no intentional manipulation of Fed policy for one reason or another, a socialist (or democratic socialist) would certainly find more success in selling their ideas to voters in the middle of an economic crisis, especially if most voters view it as primarily Trump's fault.

If a recession, or an even greater economic downturn, is inevitable it would seem to me that the Fed could either delay the inevitable, or quicken it. The Fed is supposed to be politically independent, but politicians present and past have tried to influence and pressure them. In a notable instance, LBJ physically threatened the then Fed chairman - probably a little worse than how Trump tries to influence today (mean-spirited tweets mostly). Of course, no Fed chairman will admit they changed course due to political pressure, but we'll probably never know if that's completely true:

I understand that many 'deep state' actors are Republicans - I believe your implication is that, because they are Republicans, they would oppose popular policy proposals from Democrats like Medicare-for-All, Free Higher Education, and certainly sweeping proposals like the Green New Deal. But is that true? I think there's a real possibility that many of these Republicans are more loyal to statism than they are to any concrete political ideology.

It seems that any time a government is formed, it becomes an entity that continues to grow and continues to spend, some faster than others. The establishment of fiat money systems probably accelerates the pace of this pattern as there's more room to be fiscally irresponsible or to simply pass the burden along to the next generation. The national debt of the US is evidence of this - regardless of whether it's a Dem or Republican in the Oval Office, spending continues and so do military misadventures. It's easier to paint the Dems as the 'statist' party as their proposals typically involve government intervention, but I think the question needs to be asked: when's the last time a conservative president 'conserved' something?

Cash is freedom and privacy. Cashless is tyranny and scrutiny.

This is why we say innocent until proven guilty in the West. There is a social contract that is is better to let a murderer go free than to let an innocent person rot in prison for a crime they didn't commit.

The same social contract exists in society for cash. Cash exists so that we have privacy and freedom at the cost of criminal activity.

Recent history notwithstanding, politics is fundamentally about consensus and compromise. Regardless of the strength of your personal belief, change won’t happen until you convince a majority of people (or their representatives) to vote for your specific plan. Ostracism strengthens the opinions of people on both sides of the issue; it works directly against what has to happen to make actual progress.

The fact is, you can purchase a $100M Picasso but you'll have no right to put an image of it on your website unless you pay extra to the Picasso Estate. Alongside the reproduction rights discussed in the article, these two elements are so poorly understood that they seem universally exploited by rights holders, copyright agencies, artist's descendants and so on, all to the detriment of the public.

Globally, there's a ~70 year gap [1] in the comprehensive digital representation of modern art, where work from artists who died <70 years ago is subject to such fees or legal obstacles that it often can't be shown online, even by the current owners or gatekeepers [2].

On related topics, museums continue to think some or all of the following:

1. Digital collections will prevent physical visitors from coming through the door.

2. Making digital collections freely available will lead to a plethora of badly made t-shirts, bags and prints that the museum gains no revenue from.

3. Digital collections offer a revenue stream that will save the museum from funding cuts.

4. Museums should divert resources to build their own collection systems and web platforms.

5. Our museum is so uniquely special that digital solutions used by others can be readily dismissed as irrelevant.

Rights and digital issues combined mean the representation of art in the digital age remains a complete mess, and as we see in other media a void is filled by legally-questionable and often short-lived solutions.

As orpheline said, it was at a museum in Pomona, California, for decades. It's going back there October 12th and 13th (full schedule for the trip not available yet). If you're going to go see it, though, be prepared for an unreasonably large amount of traffic, even by Southern California standards. Like, an absolutely absurd amount of traffic. It's amazing how much attention the Big Boy gets.
I don't see your point, honestly.

That's not really a good metric to target. They can be productive in a week, and because the language is very weak and verbose, you'll end up with a messy code base. I see this all the time at an employer.

> Oh, oops, yeah, I misread "some" as "same". Denoting what contract they obey is just the name, isn't it? T1 and T2 are names of contracts.

No, T1 and T2 name two generic types to be used in the body, the question is, where do you specify what contract they fulfill?

Eg if we convert an example from the doc to your suggestion:

func SetViaStrings(type To, From viaStrings)(s []From) []To {

becomes

func SetViaStrings(s []’From) []’To {

but how are where do you suggest we specify that From and To implement the viaStrings contract?

It doesn’t make sense (under this proposal) to replace them with a contract name directly, because the contract in this case takes two type arguments with different expectations of each. You’d need to change the whole proposal such that each contract constrained only a single type, and each function argument could specify potentially a different contract, rather than the current proposal, in which you can only specify one contract that constrains all of the types involved.

What Everyone Needs to Know Before Buying Their Next Couch

My best guess is that "sequencing creates narratives." It's like in baseball, how a player who hits .333 over the season will have 0-10 and 10-10 stretches where he either can't hit everything or demolishes every pitch he sees. You'll often see sports news come up with stories for why this is happening, and most of the time it's just "this is how statistics work".

TL;dr- complex systems are complex, and trying to understand them isn't usually possible for outside parties.
I think the main value add with the outsourced solutions is not having to deal with all the RBL issues, complaints, staying on top of the latest smtp requirements from Google etc. That does seem to be a full time job and the 75k is probably cheaper then staffing that directly. It’s not always about just the raw infrastructure costs.
I would guess from my experience with my colleagues that they're running at a minimum vscode and some kind of electron git app.

That's not anywhere close to the same thing. In California, the cause of that is climate change, not corruption. The sources for the rural communities are drying up. Secondly, the state is sending bottled water to the people who don't have clean drinking water. And third, the Governor just last week signed an appropriations bill that will provide millions for clean water projects out of the funds that were allocated for "green enhancement programs" because they recognize that this is the fault of climate change.

In terms of production, Tesla is definitely making moves to get to a mass production position. With their recent price drops, the Model 3 is actually pretty affordable. Tesla's big problem now is with marketing. Making money selling the Model S by word of mouth alone was easy, but that's not going to be possible with the Model 3,and Tesla still hasn't caught on despite weak sales. They need to start buying ads ASAP.

If a person buys a set of tires that are supposed to last for 50,000 miles (assuming they buy the correct size, load, and speed rated tires for their vehicle) and the tires wear down in half that distance, we would have seen a spate of people claiming their warranty replacements, and we have not.

Re: People don't hate changes, they hate learning new things. Most of them are lazy

Changes often don't solve anything of significance, just reshuffle stuff to be different or to be "cool". When you deal with dozens of apps and applications a day, having to relearn a UI is an annoyance.

Take the MS-Office "ribbon" change. Perhaps it may improve newbie learning a rough guess of 15%, but those of us who got used to the existing tool-bar by rote memorization were slowed for a few months. The ribbon changed one arbitrariness for another arbitrariness from our perspective. I can point out several irrationalities in the ribbon.

Doesn't shock me one bit. I worked for General Assembly ~5 years ago, and they were really serious about getting and staying on top of all the state guidelines. I got the sense that we were the only school taking that seriously at the time. The only thing that shocks me is that we haven't seen such earlier.

I don't have a strong opinion about if such things should be regulated or not, but I do know that there's a lot of people who have just slapped together programs to ride a money wave, and offer relatively little in exchange and it's hard to vet the places by yourself.
