No, some people just feel Borderlands is excessively grindy, and not the fun kind. I hold that same opinion, and I don’t think I’m part of any culture war or brigade. Some people may not like what you like for exactly the same reasons that you consider positive. Doesn’t make them shills or brigadists or whatever. It just means they have different preferences.
Hence why all the talk about "cheap" cost of living is lacking. It's missing many quality of life components that many people value, resulting in its low nominal prices.
They are reasonable, and of-course we should care. Out of the things you listed, public transport is probably the most impactful.
The NCAA is a cartel. The absurdity is that Congress won't do anything about it. Of course that would irreparably damage football and the extra four years professional wannabes need to bulk up on HGH and whatever steroids they can sneak past the test regime.
Unfortunately the state of the science is such that finding what works best for you yourself is about the best we can do. I'm certain there are some folks that do best strict carnivore, and some others that do best strict vegan, and everywhere in between.
There was a pretty big change in 2016. How sure are you that had no effect on his internal political situation?
What does biology have to do with what I wrote? If someone says call me Pete and you then insist on calling them Sam, you are being a jerk.

Also “write neutrally” tends to not actually be written neutrally. “Guys” being one of the common examples, it is used neutrally but inherently has a male biases. This can be frustrating to many women, trans or cis. Invisible Women has a lot in it about this problem and knock on effects of it.

Why are you using the word transsexual? It is largely a medical term at this point referring to the someone who has undergone full SRS. As it is generally considered quite rude to talk about people’s genital configuration the LGBT community has largely moved on from this term to transgender.
I’ll just stick to my own habit of eating everything but in moderation, cut sugar consumption to absolute minimal, and exercise 3 days a week.

Ask HN: What is a good open-source discussion system similar to Reddit?
Our company is using slack for most discussions, but the UX is not really well suited to it imho.
Is there any open source system except reddit itself that is lightweight and easy to deploy?
...but how is this any different than a '{}' language "remembering" whether a control structure is opening, and requiring a '}' to close it?

Don't these both represent the exact same amount of context (which reasonable people might disagree over which is "zero" or "non-zero")?
That price would either be insultingly low to anyone impacted by the horrific noise, or so high as to make running such a business uneconomic.

Just ban the bloody things outright.

Came to say sqrt(11000/3.14) = 60 (*2 worse case = 120)

But your (current) downvotes show people don't like it.... Funny how people see the world

Of course square miles shouldn't leap to a square design I guess, a mind deception when talking about 'square units' but equally a circle is wrong since the topography is dependant on roads which changes the space being discussed again. [edit] The sinuosity of roads is hard to find, rivers is not PI it seems as often discussed - https://www.theguardian.com/science/alexs-adventures-in-numb...

But all are fine for napkin maths.
curl or similar could inject a meta tag.

Or we could have a default of UTF-8.

I don't dispute that it can be nice. I am just curious why so many say it is required.
This is a super complicated topic and I'm not sure it could practically be done. Vertical and lateral integration usually result in huge cost savings. It also reduces complexity. But this is also a feature that monopolies (or monopoly like companies) exploit. I don't think it would be competitive enough if all players weren't playing by this rule. Competition is good, but so is size (think like Bell Labs [0] and how much Google can do). This is all completely a guess though. But monopolies aren't inherently had, they just usually are because they exploit that power to hinder innovation. Monopolies can actually have huge benefits.

[0] Bell Labs was an agreement that Bell could have the monopoly (to reduce wiring and because of the network effect that they could take advantage of to connect the US with telephone lines) but there was also heavy regulation done during this deal that I'm sure others here are much more informed about and can correct/add to my comment with.

[^] I don't think there's ever been a "free market" nor do I think there ever could be. The US's largest economic growth happened in a "free market" in name only (propaganda a lot for the Russians) but was heavily regulated.
Why is it terrible? What evidence is there that your brain _hates_ it?

From what I understand, there is evidence that the brain may function better deriving energy from ketones, and ketosis may be neuroprotective: https://blogs.scientificamerican.com/mind-guest-blog/the-fat...
That is a compelling narrative I guess. I had always associated that period of Viennese art with that of Gustav Klimt, who seems to have been reasonably successful in that period. He probably didn't represent the conservative views of the academy as you said.
If we find life surviving on one of the planets that we've been exploring, and it's so similar as to be indistinguishable from Earth life, then it almost certainly came from Earth on one of our missions. Even if an asteroid transplanted something that managed to take root millions of years ago, it would have endured some pretty severe evolutionary pressure by now (and probably didn't have any competition from native life).
Suppose that there is a helicopter overhead that you (and the five thousand people around you) would pay a dollar to get rid of. If you tax that flight $5000 and distribute it to the 5000 people who could hear that helicopter, then you get that dollar and you're just as happy as if that flight didn't exist. If you tax that flight $10,000, and distribute it to the 5000 people, then you get two dollars, making you happier than in the scenario where the flight didn't take place.

Obviously, it's impossible to give that money to the people who heard the helicopter, but if you amortize all the flights in the area (say, all of LA) over all the people who live there, and reduce their taxes by that amount, then financially it works out the same. That still leaves some problems (complexity in setting a new tax on helicopter flights, differing value on not-having-helicopter-flights, difficulty of estimation, and so on), and many people want to discourage the mentality of "you can throw money at a problem to get rid of it", but conceptually it seems plausible for taxing the flight to be better than banning it entirely.
There are also no consequences, so there’s no reason for a company to act morally/legally in our current economic system. I’ve never heard of a company paying fines for buying positive reviews.

If it really wasn't even an issue, this wouldn't be coming up as often as it does, though, would it? To me, "if someone tells you they prefer singular 'they', use that" is non-controversial, just like "if someone tells you they go by 'Goldie,' use that" should be. Insisting "No, I am going to call you by the pronouns I believe are 'correct' for you" is akin to "No, your legal name is 'Marigold,' and I am going to call you 'Mary.'" Insisting that you will not, under any circumstances, call a person what they've requested you call them is -- to me -- pretty clearly being a discourteous jerk.

There are a lot of valid complaints about the way Stack Overflow moderates in general, but I don't get the impression that this particular squabble is over moderation practices -- it seems to be about upcoming changes to SO's Code of Conduct. I don't know what those changes are, so I'll reserve judgement. I am certainly hoping that it doesn't boil down to "I cannot abide being required to refer to transgender women with 'her' and 'she'," though.
My dad bought me one on a long train ride, which had 8-way slides and a few years down the line, I happened to find it & ended up writing out a solver[1].

The problem is not particularly difficult though, I spent most of my time building out a graphviz "solution trail" to see my rankings[2].

Yes, they all still issue several favicon requests, so far as I'm aware. Having one, instead of returning a 404, can speed up the page load. Which makes 0 sense.
The cruelty isn't an unhappy, accidental by-product. It's the whole point of the policy.

This is what ~half the country endorses, by virtue of how it votes.
The "across all regions" part makes this one different for me, and interesting even though I'm not a customer of their block storage. I'm curious about the sequence of events, or design choices, that would cause that.

Probably the same thing as what happens when an aircraft carrier blows up. Actually, probably less violent because aircraft carriers are also carrying jet fuel and ordnance. And we send those into warzones, nobody seems to mind.
>Any offensive strategy you can think of that depends on simple numbers, can be countered with numbers at lower cost. If it's drones, I can build more defensive drones than you can build offensive drones for the same total cost.

if it's so simple, why are there presently no defensive drones?
What is unsurprising is that this is occurring due to a CoC.
It is defined if you want to restrict where your program runs.
Not really. Tons of people, myself included, use the crap out of mobile phones.

I had to do real work to get good at Android. And I am. Can do amazing things on my picture behind glass thingy.

Of course mine comes with a pen. Made some tasks possible and practical.

That said, I pretty much hate it. The thing demands a lot of attention. My older tactile device didn't. Like the other comment says, tactile interfaces can be used in pockets, etc...

I do not know what the future holds, but leaving grease smears on a touch screen probably is not it.
The parent is drawing contrast to other companies. For example, let's say you are an ISP. There's a clear network effect there as well. But obviously 50 people can't dig all the ditches and run all the hubs needed to take advantage of that when your country is the size of the US.
Yes Bernie Sanders spoke up for gay rights. That was good, because gay rights are a good thing.

Pol Pot advocated genocide. That was bad because genocide is bad.

Richard Stallman argued that pedophila was OK.

Pedophilia is not OK. It’s really far from OK. Hence the problem.

Perhaps you think it’s actually OK as well. Then the two of you agree. If you also advocate for pedophilia in public you may find people don’t want to hire you as well.

All this talk of formerly unpopular opinions and leadership only makes sense if you think that the underlying problematic opinion will be vindicated by history, like the other examples cited.

I think it won’t.

You’re saying this:

> We don't need to debate the morality of a leader because speaking against norms is already disqualifying

Nope. Didn’t say that. I said this specific norm is well founded and valid.

You can’t debate the morality of a leader’s statements in the abstract. There’s no generic class of “norms” there’s just the facts in question.

Some statements are morally defensible, some aren’t.

Saying it’s OK for adults to have sex with children is a problem, it’s gong to upset people and make them not trust you and be leery of having you represent them.

As literally everyone knows.
The science is mostly fine, it's just a really difficult problem to solve. The fact that "Meat is bad, no it's good" is what enters the public consciousness is more a failure of the media than science.
I recently interviewed with them. They have their own regularly leased office spaces like the rest of us.
I've flown a Cessna 182 into KPAO from Livermore for a couple of VC meetings. It takes about 20 minutes (mostly taxiing time). At rush hour getting between downtown and the airport (and waiting for the Lyft to get to the airport) usually took longer than the flight. Still better than a 2 hour drive though.
He stays quite true to his brand in the video when he chastises them with a list of the many things they have done to destroy the free market in healthcare.
Exactly. I actually do a lot of work on my phone. I have a pen model, and I sometimes break my bluetooth keyboard pointer rig.

Few people will bother. The UX takes real work to make productive.
I have the same system, except I prefer EBay over Amazon, and thus end up never having to resort to Amazon. IMO, even though EBay itself isn’t a German company, their business model isn’t nearly as monopolistic/anticompetitive as Amazon's, which makes them the lesser evil.
Have you ever thought about the fact that the issuing of green card to immigrant doctors is really hurting other countries? Other countries need doctors as much as America, there's a huge brain drain when green card is issued for immigrant doctors. BTW, I'm not saying that I'm for it or against it. I also want to point that that giving a migrant doctor green card is not guarantee that they can practice in the US. Passing the board and getting certified is really difficult and there are tons of doctors that come to the US with hope of practicing and end up driving a cab, becoming a nurse or doing some sort of odd jobs.
I imagine it's the cumulative amount of my first example, curl, and probably other "save as html" functionality in some browsers, crawlers, s3 buckets, archival tools, and so on. I'm sure many can do as you suggested and inject the header, but suspect many don't.

Another use case might be content that is authored in a content management system. Perhaps it's the easiest way to carry your intended charset to the destination.
Personally, if DO don’t have anything new in a status post, I’d prefer seeing an update that says something like “We are continuing to work on the issue. Nothing new to report. Next update in X minutes.” That is a lot easier for me to parse than the text that someone seems to be copy/pasting in each update.
That's a working, but very very scary foundation for security.

You don't have to eat less, if by less you mean by volume.

When I go 100% raw unprocessed vegetarian for weeks at a time, I'm eating so much plain lettuce and fruits/vegetables by volume my jaw has to adapt.

It's very effective at controlling weight in my experience FWIW, while still eating huge volumes of food.
I won't be responding to follow ups to this conversation as it doesn't feel very fruitful but there's a couple things in your comment that just don't follow for me.

How is an asset that holds its value a subsidy? How are poor people indirectly funding that subsidy by holding an asset that doesn't inflate? Really seems like you're projecting qualities onto something that just aren't there.

Plus there are other factors in wealth inequality besides cash holdings -- wages (minimum or otherwise) that don't keep up with inflation being the most notable.
I have no issues with the language other than hiring pool is pretty small.

Unfortunately letting something like this sit means you have a huge time bomb of tech debt that only one person can work on. It is a liability for the company and long term profitability.
People didn't choose to live there, they have always lived there. Most people in rural US didn't pack up and move in the last few years but have been people that have been there for generations. Now it's easy to think they can just pack up and moving, but packing up and moving to an urban area is very expensive in the actual cost and with no guarantee that there's something that might be as stable as what you have in your rural area. Some of these people in those areas are the farmers that grow the foods that we eat btw, and they can't do their massive large scale farming in the city.
Kin/Kik Shutting Down
Only if you are attacking where the defence drones are.

An attacker only needs to pick one area and overwhelm it, the defender needs to pick ALL targets and produce enough to defend all of them.

Defence vs drones is a LOT more expensive than the attack.
The link you provided appears to support my assertion. The vast majority of rural lands in the US have relatively low poverty rates, similar to non-rural poverty rates. A relatively small number of regions with extremely high poverty rates skew the national average, though only by a few percentage points, and in large parts of the US the poverty rates are effectively the same across rural and non-rural populations. Most of the rural US is not Appalachia. Maybe not wealthy but definitely middle class.

As noted at your link, many of the extremely poor rural areas skewing the averages are Native American reservations. How do you propose to make them relocate to cities?
Was the $850 for chartering whole helicopter or just for 1 seat on a shared ride.
Although true, the money that the tech companies are burning through is probably related to the bail-out money that the trading firms are getting.

The banks keep dealing with high levels of leverage. It keeps predictably blowing up in their faces. The government/Federal Reserve is responding by making it easier to borrow money and then VC/Unicorns etc borrow.

The links aren't perfectly causal, but I bet that under normal conditions (if interest rates were allowed to rise into the 2-6% band in a sustained way and the government stopped handing out free money) then suddenly the unicorns would be subjected to market logic such as a need to make money to receive a high valuation.
Not really.

Voters need options to vote for. Money in politics constrains those considerably.

Blaming people just does not speak to the mess well enough to be productive.
People who say that you have to eat less must have never met someone on the keto diet. Your body just doesn’t store the fat when you’re not eating carbs.
Update: According to his website, Stallman has found housing. He also says he will continue to head GNU

It seems to me that as a Ph.D. you have, largely on your own, figured out how to solve some very hard problems and smash some very large rocks. The hard problems/big rocks you are faced with now have just changed somewhat: finding work you enjoy; making enough money and/or matching expenditures to income; forming/restoring friendships and social bonds. Those are very challenging problems, but they are solvable.

Regarding being ghosted: 1) it's not you, it's the research job market and/or the the stupid way most companies hire people, and 2) companies routinely ghost applicants - it's incredibly rude but shockingly common. Job-hunting is a weird game but there are probably some winning strategies.

And as Kierkegaard didn't say: "Get a Ph.D., and you will regret it; don't get a Ph.D., and you will also regret it; get a Ph.D. or do not get a Ph.D., you will regret it either way...This, gentlemen, is the essence of all [doctors of] Philosophy." ;-)
Yes, the problem is that all of these are not just programs but filesystems/databases. Nobody can be compatible with anybody else, except by drinking through the straw of an API, when you're allowed to. That means we're never going to settle on even bad ad-hoc standards like XLS.
years before Monday.. i was using https://podio.com/ which has more depth and flexibility.
I think Vinge is a genius in these two novels. Great stories, rich environments, superb hard sci-fi, good social commentary, and no magical leaps of faith (aside from the central plot device of A Fire upon the Deep, which is completely up front, rationalistic, clever and exciting).

I haven't really found Vinge's match, although Stephenson comes close.

Most other authors in the genre are hard to read for me. They write gimmicks, or obsess over making plot devices out of memes, or never manage to make it past a collection of sketches, much less build a coherent universe.

This is a rabbit hole where any actual advice needs to be prefaced with pages worth of what else you are doing on the side.

There are countless of people who instead of eating less move to higher protein diets and exercice more, while doing many many more small adjustments that make it work for them.

Some can eat dramatically less while keeping roughly the same level of everyday activity, while for other it will become hell on earth and put so much stress on them that they will rebound very hard after losing only a small amounts.

I personaly think any advice that is summed up in a sentence or two should be seen as some proverbial saying and be considered applicable only after reaching the same conclusion by ourself.
