At the end of the day though, the people breaking into cars are usually doing so because they have no other reasonable means to sustain themselves, or they are compelled to do so because of drug addiction. The long-term _solution_, is to remove these obstacles.

In other words, middle-class employed people who are safe in their environment don't really commit crimes - why would they? The best way to solve crime In General is to make more people like that.

Now granted, there are some people that would _still_ commit crimes even though they don't need to - this is the place where punitive solutions are appropriate, to make it not worth their while.

Why were you taken aback? From TFA:

> "For many years, database users did not have to simultaneously understand the concept of isolation levels and consistency levels. Either a database system provided a correctness/performance tradeoff using isolation levels, or it provided a correctness/performance tradeoff using consistency levels, but never both. This resulted in a blurring of these concepts to the point that many people --- even experts in the field --- confuse isolation levels with consistency levels and vice versa. For example, this talk by a PhD student at Berkeley (incorrectly) refers to causal consistency as an “isolation level”. And this paper from well-known researchers at MIT and Harvard --- including a Turing Award laureate --- (incorrectly) call snapshot isolation and serializability “consistency” levels. I am confident that all these well-known researchers know the difference between isolation levels and consistency levels. However, as long as isolation and consistency could not be tuned within the same system, there has been little necessity for precision in the parlance around these terms."

So I wouldn't say it's uncommon or unexpected of non-experts to confuse the two concepts...
That's fluid dynamics for you. :-/

"American Chinese" food has to be uniquely American. I temporarily lived in HongKong for about 18 months and I still remember my shock of landing in HK and not finding "General Tso's Chicken" anywhere :). The ignorant American in me then realized that Chinese food in HK (and this is not even mainland china) is so different. Then I learned that there is a specific type of Chinese food called Szechuan that is generally spicy which probably comes close but that is a small part of real chinese food. I could still be wrong in understanding all this but at some point, I stopped worrying and start enjoying the food :)
None really. Keep in mind any list dumps you can easily find online have already been pillaged thoroughly.

There is an entire data broker industry that relies on selling lead/contact information, so if anything there is a value savings on the hack. I've seen high quality contact (and assoc. company) data sell anywhere from $3 to $120.
>I think they just overestimated the ability of their employees to respect each other when they hold differing world views.

There's a difference between "differing world views" and "I don't think people of your race should be allowed in this country."
So nice to see an S-1 from a SaaS company with actually solid financials and clear explanations of where the money is going. This is what IPO announcements should look like instead of being packed with hype, hopes, and dreams.
This. At any brick-and-mortar store, the store itself takes some responsibility for the quality ("won't fail dangerously or slowly poison your children" quality, not "won't fall apart after a year of use" quality) of their products, if only because it's more clear that they'll catch some blowback from stocking illegal products in their stores.
From Amazon? Of course not. They haven't and likely won't admit to it. You can find 2-3 top level comments in this thread alone that cite their own examples of this happening. Similar stories crop up every single time anyone mentions the Amazon marketplace for at least a year now.
Efficient indeed - 1,212 employees equates to around $250,000 per employee per year based on their first half 2019 revenue, which I understand is great for SaaS.
I just prefer actionable feedback rather than grunting.

As product developers we have the responsibility to create great product. One of the criterion of a great product is beauty.

Get the shit done is just a summary of the previously mentioned criteria.

I would looove to be proven wrong that Electron, Qt and Gtk are not the only viable options and would happily investigate further.

But I would also love to stop seeing random grunting from people who never had written (or event tried to write) great Gui desktop applications. (I'm not sayimg that you never have, I'm saying that by telling those are not the only viable options you look like never have).
Wow, that's neat!

I don't recall buttons in Windows 95 having such thick borders or rounded corners, unless it was a Windows 3.1 UI. The checkboxes also had check marks in them, not an X.
>Damore cited two studies, three Wikipedia pages, and an article from Quillette, a contrarian online magazine that often covers free speech on campus and alleged links between genetics and IQ.

Quote from the recent WIRED article on Google culture, easily verifiable but I'm too lazy right now. But that's hardly 'most of the memo was citations of studies'.

can you link to the ridiculous tirade? Cause here's the text I see in full

> The sole motivation here is correcting major privacy and security deficiencies in the current system. I know, because I set that focus, and the team reports up through me. And here's a bit more context on the uBlock assertions. [link to other tweet]

> Honestly, all of the negative coverage here is because the team is doing all of this development in the open and engaging with the community. They're taking feedback and making significant changes in response. So the framing here is just not accurate.
I would say GitHub was the deciding factor. Atlassian at least supported hg, though BB never impressed me.
I haven't read that. I've read Reckoning with Risk and Risk Savvy.

Risk Savvy is later and better because he's had time to refine the ideas.
The best reason that comes to mind is that the American version is its own separate thing from the original. Tex-Mex and authentic Mexican food for example are both great and I wouldn't want to go without either.
> How do you solve the problem of white-nationalists recruiting on this webpage? Well, you ban hate-speech.

> The problem is that White-Nationalists can simply... go to Facebook... or Youtube... as recruitment grounds. The big websites aren't cooperating yet. This needs to be a systemic top-down effort, unified across the major websites.

Sure sounds like you're saying YouTube and Facebook host white nationalist content to me. Saying that YouTube and Facebook are lax in kicking off white nationalists is still saying that they let white nationalists on their site.

It's only after I challenged you to back up this claim that you pivoted to talking about comments.
I will admit to having avoided arguing with one of my colleagues about whether it is irresponsible to have more than one child in the current state of the world (he thinks it is, and I have three kids).
I recently found out that my schizophrenic mom committed suicide. This was the end of a childhood that was filled with abandonment, neglect, and abuse.

I recently started meditating and read "The Power of Now". I think without those two things I would be completely lost. It's still hard but I can feel myself getting stronger in the face of all this.
Are you thinking regular NixOS with kde or more like notOS + sway?
I want to be clear that nothing about the situation was rational -- I understand that. Part of the journey was that it was indeed "a journey" -- and my friends who are also trash food aficionados/pseudo hype-beasts were more than willing/excited to do this stupid stunt with me.

That said, the sandwich was legitimately good in a way I was not expecting. I brought one home for my husband and even coldish, he was extremely impressed.

So yes -- if you're near a Popeyes, once the hysteria has died down, I highly recommend it.
Agreed! For all the hype and noise out there, the combination of SaaS and business value has created some phenomenal companies, both in terms of growth, and in terms of unit economics. And, as a user, I can say Datadog solves a real (and burning) problem for product engineering teams, and, though expensive, is worth every penny.
The ‘management hat’ that suits me
Building very tight house with good insulation is the key. Then of course you need an ERV to keep the air good and a separate dehumidifier is also great.
Sure, most editors have an idea of a session / project file that remembers layouts and open files of the individual project but terminal Vim (or any other terminal editor) is nice because it runs within a window of tmux directly. There's no external GUI program that gets spawned outside of tmux. Once that external program is launched, tmux can no longer control it.

With GUI editors you'd have to use session / project files and then manually open / close your 1 instance of that editor when you switch between projects. It's kind of a clumsy experience (but doable).
The question of whether a certain discission have more "politics inside" than another is a very political one, especially when someone tries to have a right opinion (even if the advocated opinion is "let us promote diversity and respect different political opinions) and use it to achieve some goals.
Living in Europe and being a bit closer to the war zones, I can tell you it has affected my life in a large number of ways. It is a big reason why a lot of my voting in the US is for whoever seems more anti-war (within reason).

> I suspect that many Muslims consider that to be their identity, not just their ideology.

I can't believe I have to explain that the difference is between what's a choice and what's not: You can't change your identity. Ideology is arbitrary.
If you aren't willing to read a couple paragraphs of text from a PhD who is sympathetic to your politics, you aren't even in the conversation. Why publish your opinion if you admit you are unwilling to make even the slightest effort to back it up?
Sure, but I can go from location A to location B in a duration shorter than their distance in light-seconds.

The universe just hiccups a bit and decides to move the destination towards me and origin further way because i'm not allowed to see my destination travel towards me faster than light or my origin recede faster than light.
First of all, the buffer will be too small for all tasks created on a branch and you don't want to have this buffer big, unless you have 2 monitors and have Emacs frame with this buffer opened for a half of it.

Also this process is not automatic - you have to navigate to the buffer and close the task when it's done. Also from the that buffer it's impossible to sync outside (GitLab/GitHub) or share your tasks with a team, what is possible with Kanboard if it's running on DigitalOcean/Heroku or simply synchronizes with GitHub.
A large generation of the non-investing class in the tech sector has been convinced to covet IPOs and consider them as the ultimate form of validation and success.

This non-investing class derives entertainment from seeing the lottery tickets they missed out on.

There are a few other personalities here too, such as a wealthy and now older tech sector that likes to see market trends.

But a drought of IPOs makes this of public interest.
I once ordered a really large socket (36mm for the axle nuts on my Jeep) from Amazon. I can't recall what they shipped it with, but I do recall the box was mostly empty, no padding, air bags, or whatnot.

But they wrapped that socket with bubble wrap nine ways from Sunday! It was like this ball of bubble wrap and tape, with this huge socket in the middle.

I didn't think empathy had much to do with the tough on crime policies that are bearing this fruit today, or the dehumanizing rhetoric rampant in this thread that justifies doubling down on those failed policies.

Time and time again, fear leads to bad counterproductive policies with debateably good intentions.

I'm ignoring the meaningless/unspoken distinction between compassion and empathy in your comment.
> Unless you're paying attention he gets you every time

That's exactly why I dislike them. Ads should be clearly separated from the actual content, visually and audibly, imo.
There were two parts to the changes. One that stops the current system of ad-blockers requiring them to use a different url-filtering api (specifically one which denies them the ability to read the urls), and one that puts really tiny limits on that api.

I think the first change was in good faith and reasonable. Provided the filtering abilities are reasonable, it is good for privacy and performance (and it would make sense for eg Firefox to support this api too). (I think I would be happiest with an api that lets you write a pure (somehow enforced) js function from url to an action (eg block/allow/upgrade to https) and 4 bits of data).

Although obviously it is unfortunate if it stops various good extensions from working well.

For the second change, I can’t decide. It could be that they were made deliberately small, or it could be that they didn’t really know what appropriate size limits would be and picked limits which were way too small.
I'm surprised at the lack of skepticism in the discussion here. The term "politics" - even assuming there is a problem with fiery discussions of what we traditionally view that term to cover - could easily cover dissent over programs like Dragonfly. Most controversy within Google that is publicly known is politically motivated. Don't take this term at face value.
I think this is an amazing project but isn't there a better alternative to chromebooks?

> Just yesterday I've had a third party seller somehow merge my product into their own product listing, taking the small number of 5 star reviews I earned organically with them. They sell a completely unrelated product and in their page you'll notice the reviews refer to a bunch of unrelated products.

Wow, that's amazingly shitty. I had no idea that Amazon allowed the fraudsters to hijack the reputation of legitimate sellers in this way [1]. I always figured they could only pull these switcheroos on listings they created.

[1] I know Amazon lets fraudsters hijack reputation through inventory commingling.
I think I was better off not knowing this fact.
It's older than 10 years, but yes, NixOS is one of the best things that's happened. Another awesome thing that happened at around the same time is Archlinux. Both the distro and its Wiki are great.
People are rabidly dismissive of the project veritas expose, but articles with quotes like this repeteadly show pervasive bias among Google staff which aligns exactly with the accusations and candid management recordings within the video [1]. The video is admittedly obnoxious and overly dramatic, but the candid clips with exec Jen Gennai strongly suggest that these political biases are leaking into technical work with an intended effect on society.

It's like society has forgotten why prisons exist -- to protect the general populous from people who are dangerous.

Imprisoning someone for using drugs is a terrible way to use the prison system, because they're not harming anyone. However, not imprisoning someone who steals, vandalizes, and harms others, is equally faulty.
Isn't a liberal left sided? I'm confused by your statement.

I got an annoyed series of text messages from someone once asking why I'd called them... I don't remember the details but it became clear pretty quickly that they were responding to one of those "same area code and exchange" spoofed calls.

It took a little bit of convincing for them to believe I wasn't the nefarious caller just pretending to be ignorant. Or they just got tired of sending me messages. Either is good, really.
Wow, this is such a crowded market that I'm really surprised just how much money they are making!
Thanks for your feedback. We are also thinking about it a lot. What would make us grow faster a nonprofit or a forprofit? We just thought that people would donate only to a nonprofit and were also a bit afraid to switch to for-profit. Don't even know yet, how to test it. Now, this comment shook my mind again;)
I think there are lots of clear consumer use cases for this.

Like:

a) Scan a friend's face/head and then use an app to replace the hairstyle with something different.

b) Get a friend to scan your body (or scan your own feet) using your smartphone, then use that data to order custom outfits or shoes that fit perfectly.
This isn't the other side. The other side would be that because people don't express their political opinions effectively enough, people aren't motivated to enact political change in actually dire situations.

What's at question is the way people treat each other and approach these topics, not their actual positions (half of people think there's a huge problem while the other half don't believe there's a problem)--which is what you're discussing.
If the aim is to provide internet access to as many people as possible, wouldn't a cheap phone running Android Go or KaiOS be a more efficient use of the money? Any particular reason you went with Chromebooks instead?
Your last graf implies that there was some nefarious favoritism that gave a turbo boost to Seattle's 2nd Ave bike lane project, due to the connectedness of the woman killed shortly before it took effect.

If you are referring to the well known tragic death of Sher Kung in August 2014, just before the September 2014 scheduled opening of the 2nd Ave bike lane, you are very wrong. The project had been underway long before that.
The point of todo comments is that they are written across all your codebase and the system collects them and visualizes without manual intervention.
Yes, nowadays attempting to “stay out of” politics simply leads to people accusing you of actively supporting the status quo. You can’t win, once a political culture has taken root around you.

You're fucking joking us right? I've seen bad stuff but this is far, far beyond what I consider credible incompetence. You aren't serious?

(Edit: you mention being a geologist. Happens something similar occurred - I was being uber'd by a geologist (he described himself thus) who could talk at length and very knowledgeably about the geopolitics of oil price and reservoir modelling, all fascinating stuff to me. But he mentioned a fossil that he could barely describe beyond being 'like a snail with bits coming off'. I offered that it was an ammonite and he seemed unfamiliar with the word. Also seemed to struggle to know what bauxite was when I raised it. I found those lacunae rather strange).
Your apparent judgement is that the pilots taking part in protests and talking about protests to passengers are a safety issue. Otherwise, nothing you said makes sense.

This is the Economist sentence that you're commenting on:

> When the Chinese aviation authority, absurdly, accused the airline of imperilling safety because its employees had joined the protests

If you didn't believe that pilot protests / speech is a safety concern, you wouldn't disagree at the use of "absurdly" in that sentence, and then wouldn't double down on that by giving an example of an incident which you think imperiled safety.

Otherwise, if you didn't agree with those fake safety concerns, there is nothing surprising about the usage of "absurd" by the Economist.
how much power do you actually save with a dehumidifier compared to an efficient ac installation? afaik, most dehumidifiers need to cool the air anyway to lower the humidity. seems like any savings would be marginal.

Do you plan on allowing other projects such as AOSP forks, UT, Sailfish, postmarketOS to work on top if Mobile NixOS? So a project like Mer was?

[Edit: To answer my own question: GitHub page says its heavily based on postmarketOS]
Yeah well, you know, that's just, like, your opinion, man.
I think Damore's fatal flaw was naivety. He thought his opinions would lead to a better Google and he thought Google wanted to hear arguments that would lead to an improved Google. He clearly lacked the awareness to realize he was not speaking to a receptive audience to the ideas he had. And he wrote something that lacked the... emotional awareness... to understand where the opposing view came from or how his memo would be received.

You can furthermore see that naivety in how quickly he ended up accepting offers and olive branches from alt-right personalities. It seemed like he wasn't aware who he ended up 'siding' with.
Precisely. U.S. imperialism is based on smart power, a combination of soft (aid packages, trade, etc.) and hard (military) power. The RCEP creates barriers and increases competition for U.S. imperialism, hindering it's soft power capabilities in APAC to negotiate trade deals. The sheer size of it would help propel both India and China economically - if it moves forward that is.
