Focus Matters: Why Multitasking Is Suboptimal
Not just that. Arbitrary choices are made at every level of computing from even logic below the turing machine all the way up to javascript for browsers.

Imagine if they decided to use 3 voltages to represent numbers. Instead of 3.5 volts for 1 and 0 volts for 0 what if we had a trinary representation 5 volts for 2, 3.5 for 1 and 0 volts for 0.

Or what if analog computing took off instead. Instead of trying to make everything digital we built machines that are functions of analog voltage waveforms and poured all of our abilities into reducing noise instead of upping clock speed.

Is the technology we use now the result of arbitrary choices made out of pure luck or given enough time all civilizations will develop digital computing due to inherit limitations of the physical world.
Not in DTLA. There's plenty of public transit options that exist and more being built, so it seems like the right time to stop building new buildings with tons of parking. I live in Santa Monica and most people I know making a commute between Santa Monica and DTLA are already doing so carless.

Best feature coming in iOS 13 is an option to silence all calls from non-contacts.

I installed the public beta for that alone because I get so many of these types of calls, and it's saved me 19 interruptions so far this week.

Obviously blocking all unknown numbers isn't an option for everyone, but it's been great for me.
Wow, designers must be shitting their pants. You could fire a whole department and use this stuff easily!
Yeah, except no. This is just one of those tropes that motorists use to force cities to subsidize them. Every study on this topic has conclusively shown that parking causes traffic. The construction of parking precedes the worsening of traffic, the amount of parking built is proportional to the amount of traffic observed, and the reverse process is also observed to correct the problem: removing parking alleviates traffic congestion. The case that parking causes traffic congestion is as strong as the case that smoking causes lung cancer.
Vlad, thanks for building Webflow! My team and I love it. Building a company these days requires a website that looks and works great - but as a founder I'd rather spend my time working on the product and talking to customers. Webflow is perfect for it.
Our designer Blanka knew nothing about web design, she used to do photoshop / illutrator mockups and rely on me or another person on the team to make it into a website. We switched to Webflow, and I spent an hour on a Skype call with her showing her the basics. Now she does everything herself.
This is the website -> https://datacue.co - was all done by someone who knew 0 about web dev.

The best thing about webflow for me is how it makes advanced features like CSS animations accessible to people. If you resize the website width till you see the mobile version, a hamburger menu pops up. Click on it and you'll see a little animation. I can't tell you how proud Blanka was that she did it herself, was really great to see.

Sorry this sounds like such an advert for you guys - but I'm a very happy customer.
> Also, suggesting that someone from outside the US is more likely to give you unsatisfactory performance is simply racist.

It's either true, or it's false. Now, the motives behind saying or believing such a statement may be racist, but telling people who believe it that they are racist isn't going to change their minds.
Despite what the minority thinks, anything which is a statement of government policy will be widely reported in news sources.

Twitter is not a requirement. I don't understand how anyone could possibly think it was, or be insulted by people saying it isn't. It seems like a cack-handed attempt at advertising to insist that everyone must use Twitter.

krita,

vlc,
My mother-in-law has alzheimers and is in a care facility, but she really values the independence of having a phone, say to call family.

In the past she'd been scammed by the "your grandson is in jail" scam and the bank stopped her.

One day she was really worked up because she was sure someone was going to come to her facility at 4pm and demand their money from her, and it was all tangled into my family needing money or something. Luckily she has no direct access to funds anymore.

Enough was enough. I found a product that I could put on her phone line that lets me white list her calls. It also suppresses the first ring because with Alzheimers, the last thing you need is the phone ringing once constantly.

It isn't perfect -- it has to be configured over bluetooth and only from a cell phone. I'd prefer a device that lets me do this remotely over the web, but this is what we're using for now:

For ourselves, I have a linux box running ncid. I just wish I could find a first ring suppressor that works on POTS. The FRS22100 I tried resulted in a fast busy for any caller -- didn't conform to whatever the central office required.

There's no magic number. If you're getting paid fair or more than fair wage why should you get anything? Let's imagine the going range at your location is $50/hr for a developer. You're getting paid $60 or $75/hr why should you get any equity? On the other hand, if you're getting paid $10/hr when it's $50/hr or even asked to work for free. Well, could be from 0%-99.9% How much can you negotiate for?

It's a good thought, but until public transportation is a 1st party citizen in LA, this will just cause more problems in the long run. Busses are still seen as a method of transport for impoverished people, not for the masses. Trains and light rail simply aren't a priority for either the city nor the population. For comparison, Sydney is similar to LA in terms of density and affluence, but has 7.7 times as many people riding their rail transport[1]. LA should be focusing on creating a positive draw to public transport by increasing service, availability, and quality, rather than creating a negative pressure by decreasing parking availability.

I don't like that the article appears to conflate "GMO" with plants that have been genetically altered with genes from an entirely different kingdom of life specifically so they won't die when sprayed with glyphosate. Lots of genetic modifications in the lab are nothing more than a faster version of guided hybridization. Even in Roundup Ready corn and beans, I suspect it's the glyphosate itself that's a much bigger issue for human health than using bacterial genes in the plants to make them tolerate it.
It’s frustrating how few cities in the US are liveable without a car. One of the best parts of SF is that it’s so small and easy to navigate without a car.

And NYC’s subway system is complete disarray. Not sure what other cities are manageable without one.
As a resident of LA, I don't see this actually accomplishing much due to the specific market of downtown LA. Like the article mentions, basically all the new construction in that area comes in at the top of the market. Almost everyone in that socioeconomic class in LA has a car and would want a nearby place to park it. Developers therefore aren't going to build a new luxury high-rise and not provide parking for its residents.

That said, we might as well remove this regulation requiring parking if the market will dictate a similar level of parking anyway. I simply think this type of change would see a greater impact in neighborhoods in which car ownership levels are lower.

>You've failed to establish how the existence of gender studies departments means we can dismiss the findings of the physical sciences

I am not advocating for dismissal, I am merely suggesting that social and political pressure for certain results from the hiring and financial appropriation practices of a politically biased administration can introduce aggregate bias in published results. And on the subject:

>The majority of academic scientists identified as Republicans, up through the 80s

You've failed to establish how even a republican leaning scientific establishment is immune from the whims of administration resulting in, say, only publishing results that support the politically correct positions. It is a fact that the overwhelming majority University administration's lean strongly left - and when science is politicized, there's a strong chance that, again, such administrative bias will affect results in seemingly innocuous ways. Not to mention that most environmental scientists have personal left leaning biases and experience social and professional pressures which also may be reflected in results.

Significance testing, publication of only positive results, and model design are three methods by a which slant may be unintentionally introduced and, again, we know that these problems have lead to the replication crisis explicitly identified in other empirical sciences - why do you think no one is willing to ask the same, legitimate question about climate science, particularly when climatology by nature is not a reproducible discipline?

English speakers have contact or familiarity with a huge variety of foreign speakers, enough that we can categorise French accents, Swedish accents, Hindi accents etc etc.
And we simply get heaps of practice with non-native English speakers. I don't think the same thing occurs so strongly in other languages.

English has a massive variety of vowel sounds within its different accents, as well as other variations in length, emphasis, consonants etc. Native English speakers have a subtle ear for a massive range of vowel sounds (and plenty of people can reproduce them when speaking in an accent). A Spanish person can be confused if you substitute or mispronounce a single vowel in my experience.
Hi, Electron maintainer here.

> I just tried this out with Slack on macOS, and it did work

Here's the thing with how gatekeeper works, that application had already passed gatekeeper and will never be _fully_ validated ever again.

If you zipped your modified Slack.app up, uploaded it to google drive, and downloaded it again. Gatekeeper would 100% reject that application, the ASAR file is included as part of the application signature. You can prove this by checking the "CodeResources" file in the apps signature.

You can't re-distribute the app without gatekeeper completely shutting you down.

Side note: you're being pedantic. When discussing deep human history, 'modern human' has a meaning beyond just the dictionary meaning of the word 'modern' (being of a recent vintage). It is used to contrast modern humans with our quite complex behavior vs. archaic humans with their (apparently) much less complex behavior.

But anyway, my point doesn't depend on how you define 'modern human', since not only do the Khoi San co-exist with the rest of humanity in the current moment, but they are not really significantly different from the rest of humanity in a behavioral sense. So by both definitions they are 'modern humans'. Which gets to my actual point: a theory which posits that behaviorally modern humans have their genesis only 70k years ago has some explaining to do in light of the fact that the Khoi San split from the rest of humanity about 200k years ago, yet are more or less the same as the rest of humanity.
>> 24.000 turkish people have been granted asylum by Germany. The same country that EU acknowledge as a safe place for refugees to return them back. I think that speaks a lot about EU's totally despicable deal with Turkey that has been criticized again and again by so many organizations.

I think you deliberately ignore the details for these asylum seekers. We all know that after the failed coup Erdogan started to persecute political opponents. Does this mean is an unsafe country for syrian refugees? Maybe you should ask yourself why the west supported the military coup(media included) in the first place?

There are 50-70 million refugees over the world. How many should Europe take to be considered a good protector of human rights? Should we go all in? Let them settle in and see how we handle it afterwards?
Heavy armaments are tools of obliteration, not of occupation. You can't search homes with a drone. You can't enforce curfews with a battleship. Such weapons are useful in subjugating a foreign state whose people and infrastructure you care little for; they are not practical in suppressing widespread domestic insurrection. To control a population, you need boots on the ground, armed with small arms - against which we the people are evenly matched technologically and vastly superior in number. There would be nothing perpetual about the guerrilla situation - the feds would run out of feds.

A revolution is a matter of public opinion even more than it is a matter of martial might. The day that the feds start nuking their own people is a day by which they have already lost the war.

In some ways, MoviePass always felt really scammy so never went in with it: a too good to be true proposition (also, it isn't a gym membership: they can't guilt you into signing up for a year right at New Years. So buoying the users who didn't leverage the pass yet paid for it vs those who really leveraged it seemed to be an unattainable dream).

But that being said, when AMC came out with their own version? I went for it and I'm very pleased. I can take my daughter to see a movie pretty much whenever (2-3 a month, really. Have to buy her ticket because it is only for 18 and up though. A single movie essentially pays for that month though). Plus, I seem to get some kind of money voucher thing as this most recent time I had $60 available somehow and the drinks and popcorn were billed to that.

So maybe MoviePass was trying to play the middleman in a way they couldn't as they couldn't control the theaters as much as they hoped for their own survival, but the existence of it maybe clued theaters into a different revenue stream that could work for them (and customers). So thanks MoviePass.

8chan owner heading to US as lawmakers seek answers
In SF as well, but the local government has shown itself unable to resist calls to later add parking entitlements to structures after they are built. For example all "live-work" developments are forbidden by law from participating in residential parking permit zones, but the city council has repeatedly established RPP zones on blocks where the sole residential buildings are all live-work.

She was only transwoman allowed in the ZCLUB per mgt. She got drugged and used as scapegoat. I woke up in Swedish Edmonds. Idiots let me go once they realized my comps were at my hotel. I screamed I'm gonnna be pissed if I miss my hotel brunch. It was 2a not afternoon. Claim I assaulted 4 shorelines PD. Never hit anyone in my life. I lack fight or flight, no stimuli hence was great at piecing this together and my partner and I dodged a ton of traps ourself. Palantir is here folks and it starts with the gays for monied daddies

I agree with most of this, but as a lawyer who has used SQL and PHP to automate work that I'd have otherwise been billing $600/hour to do manually I do find fault with your point on ethics.

Yes I could have delegated that work to do manually by a junior lawyer ($300/hr) or had the dev work done by an IT analyst ($800/day) but in both cases I'd have then had the check the output very carefully (junior lawyer) or gone through the cost and delay of onboarding a dev.

Doing it myself was the best overall value for the client.

There is an ethical issue if the lawyer is not properly qualified to do dev work. You can get into hot water that way. I avoid it by working closely with my client's IT teams, so they can vouch for what I've done.
