Also, I must be using social media wrong. I use it mainly to talk to and send pictures to my grandma, look at videos of baby animals, and find out about concerts and shows in my area.

Yes, profoundly good ideas have historically been met with resistance. So have profoundly bad ideas, and I suspect the ratio approaches a googol to one.

Couldnt agree more with this and having experienced something similar I will never work for a micro manager again.
Great stuff - however, one thing that is missing is the ability to discuss these ideas in a forum-like medium. This is why I created the GH repo: https://github.com/marcelosousa/million-dollar-ideas.
I might code a script that pushes each item as an issue to the repo to at least allow for that.

PHPStorm and all the JetBrains IDEs have the ability to edit files directly via SFTP AFAIK.

I've done things in a way that it doesn't.

Basically build a virtualenv and then pack that into a .deb, install the .deb on the target machine and you have a self-contained package that requires no external resources to install.

That said, using golang is WAAAAY simpler. The virtualenv/deb solution, while it works, is very sketch.
The protests started out peacefully and stayed peaceful for months, even in the face of state-sponsored gang violence (Yuen Long Station), false arrests, and police brutality. All of these things have rightfully angered the citizens of HK. They have every right to protest their government, especially the CCP, one of the most egregious violators of human rights in the modern era.

They are not just teenagers engaging in random street violence and property destruction. There are people from 12-80 on the street. Professionals, part-timers, students, retirees, everyone. Over a million people turned out last August in one of the largest protest marches in human history.

All the escalation is the result of CCP/HK not providing a political solution. They just send riot police to peaceful protests every weekend, and more violence occurs.

Admittedly it's hard to stay on top of all this stuff. The CCP's propaganda machine is working overtime and here in the West we're not doing a great job sounding the alarm in the press (in fairness, we have our own problems). But it's a serious protest movement fighting as honorably as it can for democracy and human rights, with global, fundamental consequences. We should be backing them 100%.
That's pretty much describing the vast bulk of US military. Citizen Soldiers.
Nah, anyone with a pile of money can buy exploits and hire professionals to discover them.

Kingdoms in the desert have had access to root certificates for almost a decade now.
During the cold war, both Russia and the US developed a post-strike strike capability (basically a response if your enemy nukes you first which in turn destroys your enemy). The US called this a 'second strike' capability, and Russia called this the 'deadman's hand'. Most commenters since have simply referred to it as "mutually assured destruction" or MAD.

Here's the thing - from an ethical standpoint, it never makes sense to actually fire it. If you're dead, well, you're dead - there's no sense in murdering millions of citizens of an enemy nation.

At the same time, by its very presence, you've made it very seemingly difficult for your enemy to ever engage in a nuclear first strike because they'd be signing their own death warrant.

Could the US military defeat a bunch of armed citizens? Well, purely by the numbers, probably. It'd be really bad for morale though, and a lot of innocent people would die, and realistically, there's not really much of a country left at that point anymore. Without a check, the Government can do whatever it wants because it always has a cheat card, but with the check, the government has to at least pretend to respect the citizens.

I think that the point of this list is to say "there are lots of starting points, just pick one and iterate on it until it becomes something with value". It's a pretty well-worn maxim that ideas are worthless and execution is everything, but this is another way to present it.

Vitally | Senior Full Stack Engineer | New York (Brooklyn) | preferably ONSITE but REMOTE considered | Full-time

-- About Us --
Vitally (https://vitally.io) is a powerful and beautiful Customer Success platform that helps SaaS teams reduce churn by providing personalized Customer Success, at scale. We've only been in the market around a year, but we've made amazing progress so far. We just raised a fresh round of funding and are now looking for talented team members to help us continue to ship high quality software at a rapid pace.

-- About the Role --
We're looking for an experience Javascript/Typescript developer to join as our second FTE. At Vitally, we use full-stack Typescript: Node on the back-end and React on the front-end with a Postgres database backing everything. This opportunity gives you the ability to work across it all. There’s likely to be a bit more front-end than back-end work with this position, so we’re looking for someone with some UI/UX chops.

We offer a competitive salary along with early-employee equity and standard insurance benefits

To Apply

The point is that nation building exercises don't demonstrate anything about the capabilities of a modern military. If you are trying to win hearts and minds, you are behaving very differently than if you seek to kill or cow.

Personally, I'd expect the main skirmishes in a US civil war to be factions of the military fighting against each other.

If you look at modern Christianity, they don’t. You cannot hold a religion to an outdated set of beliefs they do not hold themselves to.
I just don't see any historical evidence that superior weaponry always wins, whereas there are plenty of examples to the contrary. So I don't know why it's a "fact" that the dictator would still win.

This is strange to me. Firstly, because hitting a target with a pistol under high stress can be extremely difficult and legs are smaller than torso, and secondly, because "aiming for the legs" doesn't guarantee that it won't be lethal. If you take a shot to the femoral artery your chances of surviving aren't great. In fact, they're probably worse than taking a shot to the torso.

There was a video going around a few years ago where a policeman shot a robber in the thigh. The round hit his femoral artery and he was dead within five minutes.

No, we have the second amendment so that Whiskey Rebellions won't get too out of hand, let alone succeed. The militia that the second amendment arms reports to the government and one of its primary objectives is to quell insurrection.
Essentially you are saying to sit back and watch because there is nothing you can do about it. The point of the 2nd amendment is that you have the right hold a militia and bear arms against an oppressive government. Whether you will win or not is not the argument, but rather that you have the right to protect and defend yourself as the oppressed. While it’s easy to sit on a couch relaxed and watching the news all while saying “we should get rid of guns”, it’s a lot different story to be in the midst of a contention or oppression.
Yeah I use it all the time - seeing the "shape" of the code is great for jumping around quickly when you don't know the line numbers and it is quicker to look + click once then to find a string in the file instead.

The 2002 mandate for internal communication systems at Amazon
That's not far off from reality. It's illegal to sell armor piercing ammo, but not illegal to buy it or possess it. And certain municipalities(my own local one) are looking at regulating the sale and possession of body armor. Which to me is more egregious, as body armor is inherently not a weapon. Nor is it a force multiplier against law enforcement, as fully automatic weapons could be construed as. And it has practical uses in the sporting world. I know more than a few people that choose to wear body armor at public ranges as extra insurance against the potential stupidity of those around them.
Are the human right protesters usually the ones to bring guns to the protests? Seems like that’s typically done by protesters on the other end of the spectrum.

Yes, some people react to shots, including for instance, people who are allergic to egg and can't receive vaccines created in that medium.

Nobody is dismissing this "out of hand", but the minuscule percentage of the population these issues effect is being used as a crutch for the anti-vaxxer movement.

I've been there a few times. My fiancee was born and raised on Hong Kong.

It's true that the protests also involve the Kowloon side, and even the New Territories, but it's also perfectly reasonable to refer to Hong Kong as an island, because everything else isn't actually Hong Kong proper.

Would you voluntarily clip the beaks of a chicken, pump them full of growth hormones, and pack them so tight they live on top of mounds of their own feces and degraded corpses of other chickens for a fraction of their natural lifespan before having their throats cut, often while not stunned?

Regardless of how you feel about chickens vs humans, I don't see why it's binary. Life is life. Suffering is suffering. There's plenty of inside footage of how chickens and turkeys are treated, no conscious being should be subjected to that.

What about the 121 million pigs slaughtered a year? The 29 million cows?

I really do feel like I get a lot out of having conversations with random people on the internet. Especially a place like this, filled with intelligent people.

It's really healthy to have people challenge your ideas sometimes, which happens a lot more on the internet than in real life in my experience.

And there is obviously some degree of benefit in being a software developer who is tune with his fellow tech dorks.

I found his answer fascinating to the question on what employees can do to improve the current negative perception of the company. He didn't list any concrete actions the company is making or make suggestions on what the employees can do at work, but answered it by essentially telling them to talk up how much they like their job to friends/family:

"And I think it’s tough to break down these perceptions and build trust until you get to a place where people know that you have their best interests at heart. So that’s one thing that you all will be well-suited to do as ambassadors, if you choose to be, having spent time here, as I think you know the heart of this place at this point. And you don’t know every single technical project, but you have a sense of what we care about and what people here think about and what the conversations are on a day-to-day basis. And in the conversations that I have, even with some of our biggest critics, I just find that sitting down and talking to people and having them know that you care about the problems and acknowledge that there are issues and that you’re working through them ... I think it just makes a big difference."

The problem is that if somebody has a negative perception of your company already, this exact type of response sounds disingenuous.
If you're still reading this, you can disable Application Insights during debugging (why would you need it anyway during debugging). To do this you make an application variable like 'EnableApplicationInsights' in your web.config so you can set per environment whether or not it should be on.

Then if this is false, in your Application_Start() you can set this: TelemetryConfiguration.Active.DisableTelemetry = true;

Napoleon Chagnon, 81, Controversial Anthropologist, Is Dead
There's a French startup that makes some pretty cool turbine range extenders for the general aviation market. Great power to weight ratios, and they come with the maintenance benefits of microturbines, which only have a single moving part. I can't remember exactly, and they don't have it in their specs, but I think they even use gasfoil bearings which means there is no need for oil lubrication.

My fundamental concern is the scale mismatch. If you notice the problem locally, it can be very hard and potentially impossible to address it locally, because EU-wide regulations increasingly take precedence.
