> How can you tell if people are just ranting "because of the internet" and not because they are suffering and think your political inaction is contributing to their pains?

In many cases, it's not the group which is allegedly suffering that is doing the alledging, but rather elites who are far removed from that group, and the "alledging" takes the form of straw men, motte/bailey fallacies, and definitions that are ultimately circular. Often, we _are_ in the groups that are allegedly suffering or surrounded by those group, and there are no clear signs that we/they are suffering as described (and indeed, the descriptions are often incoherent).

So yeah, bonafide suffering is pretty easy to spot, as is opportunistic "compassion".

Oh. So they don't care about bullying or alienating people with unpopular political views, they're upset that employees are questioning their material support of antidemocratic governments. For a second I thought they were actually making something close to a good ethical choice here, I see I was mistaken.
I think the problem with this view, especially in software development, is that it will pretty soundly continue the current status quo in diversity. We won't get more diversity without some political discussion.

If you believe diversity is not a worthy topic of discussion or debate at the workplace, well, therein lies the political divide. Silencing political discussion is then its own form of getting a leg up in that debate.

They do not collect anything even remotely close to "all the worlds information".

Their goal is to make money. Whether they impose their opinion on the index is a business decision.

Why would it be? What if the people that run google have a fundamental disagreement with certain political ideas and have a desire not to index those things?
Noted! Though I've lived in NYC before, and I think it has, at a glance, pretty sane policies for a giant diverse city (though I could be totally wrong!). It felt a lot safer there than it does in SF on a day-to-day basis. That's where I was planning on going.

Actually quite interesting and one of the most sensible things I have heard in a long time, you know , our maker had sustainability in mind when creating us, we are the ones who chose otherwise.

Cool idea
I wasn't being serious about that. I was trying to say is that just as they can't tell if the Amazon is on fire because they don't live there, they can't tell if someone is being opressed by the system because they simply aren't this certain someone.
Most folks will need an AC unit regardless, and there is already a condensate drain line from the air handler. You could get an additional dehumidifier if your use case calls for it (dehumidification without a need to cool) but the cost is non-insignificant.

I have explored a dehumidifier for my Florida home, and after looking at the numbers, it just made more sense to tighten up the envelope and set the AC to 74. I have solar on the roof though, so the energy costs aren’t terribly high (vs possible mold remediation) for this approach. YMMV.

Ranch has better cooling but I actually pay less in my new house compared to the ranch I was in. The ranch I was renting had roof issues. My new place is a 2 story house with half basement and garage underneath. 3 sided brick. Bought a place in Roswell to be closer to work and family.

My wife is almost 9 months pregnant and AC is mandatory!
The cops probably noted the victim was a woman. No big deal?
Agreed, but it's Google's approach that's up for discussion here, not whether or not they have the right to shut down such discussion. I don't think a company who shits down reasonable debate is going to do well over the long term.

>also simultaneously produced a population boom

You think subsistence living was great before technological progress? Why do you think there was a population boom? How do you think population size was controlled before technological advances?

Maybe through:

- high child mortality

- famine, starvation and malnutrition

- war, crime and violence

- disease and injury

... all of the above!

> Well that's a gross misrepresentation of what I said,

No, it's not.

What you said, in response to the article was:

> I am just astounded that this is being spun in such a positive light.

The implication here is that redirecting non-violent addicts off the addiction --> prison pipeline was a policy mistake.

I ask why you think that non-violent addicts should be put into prison. You tell me I'm grossly misrepresenting your point of view.

Which point of view do you actually hold? Do you think that non-violent addicts should be provided with help, or prison? Pick one, and own it.

I don't care one whit about your opinions on violent people in public spaces. I doubt they differ from mine, and it's not an interesting conversation.
Public actions like the ones in the story linked below make me think different.

If you rely on ventilation for cooling you're just constantly pulling in high humidity air from outside and the dehumidifier will do nothing.

I concur. its easy to feel sympathy for these addicts till you have to deal with them day by day. In the end I left san Francisco because of the constant badgering from homeless people and the waste they would leave everywhere. This is also an issue I've only really seen in America, the homeless in Bangkok and Kuala Lumpur that I encountered were super polite and conscientious by comparison.
I mean, the Brazilians will suffer too when the lack of Amazon forest starts fucking the world up. With that said, yes, 100% agree that we should just pay them to stop the bleeding. That forest is worth more than money. We can figure out a better solution later.

Get Real User IP in Wordpress Behind Nginx
Heap is pretty small compared to Google, so I think that what I’d describe would be too elementary. For us, the client has some state that is hard (not impossible) to imitate, and we have a good sense for what “real” activity looks like. Someone hitting an analytics endpoint blindly will not look natural so is easier to detect. The classic heuristic is to just ignore outdated browser versions since most headless rigs that are naive aren’t on the most up to date user agent or lie about it in a haphazard way. There are a lot more sophisticated techniques that people trying to game ad networks use.
You sound like you walk around in daylight just seeing people shooting up on every street. Its absolutely not true. Its actually really tough to find someone shooting drugs unless you're really looking at night hours. It's honestly not as big of an issue as Sinclair makes it out to be.
1. "Fires are common" - means Brazil should have been ready to tackle them, and taken steps to minimize the chances of them breaking out in areas where people are active. It seems it hasn't; and - on the contrary, has let logging and other economic activity which can increase chances of fires expand excessively and without proper regulation.

Finally, researchers claim that most fires right now are caused by humans (and many started intentionally): https://www.msn.com/en-ca/news/world/brazils-amazon-fires-st...

2. How do you know the alarm is due to the "hate on the President"? Also, the increase of fires should and can measured relative to _last_ year, not 2013. Since 2014 there was a gradual decrease, and the amount/area of fires has nearly doubled from 2018 to this year.

3. If it's illegal and damaging, why are people and corporations doing it, and doing it much more this year? It seems that to a great extent this is due to the new government's policy and rhetoric; and to a lesser extent it's an ongoing problem which both the previous and the current government have not addressed well enough.

4. Well, it seems the government is trying to avoid enforcing these harsh laws. For example:

> The environmental minister, Ricardo Salles, tweeted on Wednesday that the fires were caused by dry weather, wind, and heat. But CNN meteorologist Haley Brink said the fires are "definitely human-induced," and can't be attributed to natural causes like lightning strikes.

so it seems the government is voluntarily looking the other way. If it claims this is the cause, they are unlikely to vigorously pursue the culprits.

Bottom line: Don't do apologism for the government. Its behavior on environmental issues is inexcusable, regardless of any other issues.
I've seen a lot of the ones I watch having sponsors that are only vaguely related, such as a certain mattress manufacturer or a certain shopping cart creation site.

I haven't yet gotten to the point that I'd just skip them automatically, though. That's seems extreme.

http://charlesleifer.com/blog/compiling-sqlite-for-use-with-...

Describes several handy ways to compile sqlite for use with python (2 or 3), as a system-wide shared library or compiled directly into the python module. This can also be applied to sqlcipher, etc.

If you don't know how to compile sqlite, I'd argue that you have no business trying to use it's more advanced features. How can you tune or optimize something you don't understand?

Furthermore, your library is stale. Anyone using it is dependent on you to merge in upstream changes constantly. And based on what I saw, it's already well out of date.

Doesn't matter. imo Chinese people can still adapt. It's part of the culture. My family came to the US as illegal aliens with no money and poor education (their degrees weren't of much use).

In contrast to conventional internet where classical 1s and 0s are transmitted via some medium like copper or fiber optics or radio waves, qbit states are far too fragile to survive such transportation and so would be transmitted via the quantum teleportation protocol.

Physical networking infrastructure will still be necessary; teleporting a qbit requires a pre-existing entangled qbit pair in addition to two bits of classical information, so you'll need some method of sending one half of an entangled qbit pair to the recipient. It's okay if this process is lossy, because you can easily generate & re-send an entangled qbit if it gets lost. Once you successfully manage to get the entangled qbit through, you can use it to teleport the qbit you actually want to send (whose state is presumably the product of some long, expensive computation and therefore far too valuable to risk sending via such a lossy channel).

I've always been a little unsure of the usage of "price discrimination." The basic economics glossary definition generally refers to price discrimination between identical or nearly-identical products. Yet I hear it used for things that have obvious significant functional differences, like the storage tiers of the iPhone. Surely many people are buying iPhones with upgraded storage not simply because they are willing to pay more, but because they really do value the increased storage. So is that called price discrimination simply because the marginal cost increase to Apple is probably very low (much lower than what they charge for the storage increase)? Is price discrimination just a continuum that is not very well-specified?

A much more textbook example would be the rumored practice of airlines' websites charging higher prices to people using more expensive computers. (I don't know if those stories were true, but that would certainly be an example of selling identical products to people at different prices, based on their willingness to pay.) Another example would be digital goods like movies and video games being sold at vastly different prices in different countries (hence DRM and region-locking).
Ego is the servant of money, and government is highly corrupted with ego at the moment.
I worked on a (non-D&D, quite niche/indie) RPG managing bot in Wave. The ability to work gameplay into a document draft, with the GM and player directly collaborating on revisions and bot-based rolls/mechanics directly inline, had a potential to be fantastic for certain types of story-heavy, written narrative-focused RPG playing.

I keep debating revisiting something like it for Discord/Slack today, but the style would still be quite different from that "threaded, collaborative Word document with revision tracking" feel of Wave.
Gimme the details then? How did it happen? What was the justification if any? Did it actually happen?
This probably wouldn't have happened if America had decent leadership.
From that article:

Jesus, WTF? If he is attacking people because of mental illness, why isn't he locked up in a mental hospital? "Sorry, you attacked people but you're crazy, so have a nice day!" And why is trying to throw someone off an overpass charged with assault and not with attempted murder?
Let's not forget this classic:

> Chinese nationals inside Google have at times clashed with its techno-libertarian culture. One infamous example, detailed in a book by the former head of Google’s “people operations,” comes from 2008, when the company cafeteria offered employees a “Free Tibet Goji-Chocolate Creme Pie.” This offended a Chinese national at the company, who sent an email to Chief Executive Larry Page. The chef was immediately suspended — then, after a companywide email thread that at the time was the longest in Google history, reinstated. An engineer who was at Google at the time told me the whole controversy was “ridiculous.”

+1 on this, I live in an apartment without balconies and without external blinds, so one cannot survive without full AC in summer.

Seattle loves to pass new taxes that are "supposed" to go towards certain things (and do for a year or two), but then end up in a general fund. Just like the tobacco tax, the alcohol tax and the marijuana tax. These were all supposed to go towards roads and schools, at one point and, yet didn't.
