Google’s Personal Safety app detects car accidents and automatically calls 911
It is true buying clothes in bulk would never have entered my mind. One thing stand I have really bad experience with clothes, they break in the most awkard times, cheap clothes does that all the time in my experience. I still have my very high quality jacket I bought in 1995, it takes a beating holds up and is easily fixed.
I could apply this to many other default subreddits though.

The things I see on /r/politics and the stuff I saw on /r/the_donald when it was on all are often quite similar, but only one of them got quarantined.

Reddit politics in general are cancer.
If we can manufacture lunar regolith, then the real thing is not needed for any other studies, either!

> which is literally priceless

The price we'll pay for not using it will be the cost of extra missions to the moon to do those experiments there. We cannot plan a moon base without knowing whether crops will grow there or not.
Google is a big company and maybe this was true but it feels false (having worked there & other large tech companies) that the reason for failing to get that project going was the lack of a PhD. Now having top engineers on board probably is key, but again that isn't tied to any advanced degree but due to Google hiring & promo committees which are intended to reward merit.

The value of this is multi-faceted. It shows technical validation by trusted engineering talent. Those engineers are able to expend their own political capital on the project. Those engineers have demonstrated an ability to navigate corporate hierarchy and deliver large-scale projects. One of the key requirements of higher levels of promotion is that you are focusing on strategic goals for the companies rather than strictly complex/important technical products.

Having interesting & exciting conversations is nothing. Everyone is smart & happy to nerd out about complex and interesting abstract concepts/designs. Doesn't mean that they think those ideas are worth pursuing or that they're worth pursuing right now.
It's not obvious to me that current appliances are not lasting (and/or not repairable) and it's not obvious to me either that longer lasting appliances are necessarily better.

Where are the end to end stats that show that this is better than recycling an old appliance to replace it with a new one that is more energy and water efficient?

Where are the actual stats that show that breaking down just out of warranty with no parts available is a real issue?

Also, there are no "other people" we all are consumers of these appliances.
Let's start with a question. What is your definition of the word "faith"? I ask this because there is a disconnect between which definition of faith various people use when they are discussing any subject that uses "faith".

I find it interesting that your use in the sentence "Faith is emotional and traditions based" can be applied to all sorts of groups with all sorts of agendas. These can include religious people, atheists, scientists, doctors and medical professionals, politicians, workers' unions, governments, political parties and politicians, teachers, etc., etc., etc.

As far as your next statement "Data requires reasoning and logic, as well as allowing changes that conflict with tradition', well I spent over 20 years dealing with all sorts of data, from analysis to collection to cleansing and so forth. From my perspective, I have to ask you a question as to what specific definition are you assigning to the word "data". This word has quite varying meanings and what one group may use as their definition for "data" may be at complete odds for what another group might be using as their definition.

As far as your statement is concerned, I have had to deal with many groups who do not apply reasoning and logic when it comes to "data". They have "faith" as in the blind kind that their data is correct. It is not uncommon for people to assume that the information at hand is "true" just because it is in some database somewhere or it accords with their belief system.

I am a disciple of Jesus Christ. I have looked at the evidence that is available for the historicity of Jesus Christ and what His disciples of that day said and did. The evidence suggests that He is who He says He is. This has lead to studying what other evidence exists and there is plenty. This evidence has lead to a considered trust which is one of the definitions of "faith". To that end, I have accumulated more "data" as in evidence that Jesus Christ is the Creator of the universe and that what He has said as recorded in the New Testament is consistent with reality.

What has interested me is that there are many who stand in opposition to the idea that Jesus Christ is Creator of the universe and all that goes with this and they exhibit a blind "faith" in their worldview. It appears that their "faith" is emotional and traditions based with an underlying attitude that anyone who actually investigates the matter is an idiot.
The mentioned devices are mains powered (well perhaps not led-lighting) - I can see why legislators are not eager to just let anybody mess about with that.

I pretty much live inside Remote Desktop, and the only fault I can find with this is that it starts at 100 users (in the Azure pricing calculator). Having something like this for SoHo (1-5 users) would be a killer app in my neck of the woods.
Damn, he actually wrote that under his real name? That was unwise. I wouldn't even say that as Mirimir. Except about prostitution and adultery, of course.
Autistic people do not actually interact in logical way. They are unaware of own emotions and unaware of other peoples emotions. Their behavior or opinions are not more logical nor more correct. Angry yelling autistic is as illogical as angry neurotypical. Just because autistic is totally convinced he or she is super right, does not make it so. Just because neurotypical do not share autistic preference does not make him illogical, does not make his code "objectively" shitty or crappy. It does not make non-autistic illogical to not keep same routine nor to unintentionally disrupt autistic routine. No matter how much autistic calls neurotypical doing something different as yesterday stupid or irrational.

I agree that neurotypical should accept autistic needs and personalities, but not to the point that they allow themselves to be bullied. And vice versa.

Autistic people do have feelings and react to them. Quite strongly. Autistic do get insulted too.
No one will move to something else, because they already have. Everyone who's running containers in production is either already using Kubernetes with CRI-O or planning to move to it. The Docker client is used only for building and testing images, and there are easy replacements for that as well. That's Docker's problem in the first place.

There is a long history of spiced drinks in India, drunk for their medicinal value. Most Indian kids have grown up drinking turmeric milk for sore throats, and strong decoctions of pepper, holy basil, and dried ginger for congestions.

From what I can ascertain, Indian Chais appeared in the early 1900s, when British owned tea estates tried to drum up local business among Indians. The best quality teas were exported, though the teas available to Indians were still expensive. Local tea vendors boosted the flavour with spices, and eventually milk.

In the most common variety of masala chai you'll find in India, lots of freshly grated ginger is boiled in water, before adding tea leaves and finally milk. The milk must come last, since raw ginger will split milk. We have different spice blends for different times of the year. We generally avoid masala chais in the hot summers. Ginger chai is great for the rainy season, along with some piping hot fritters. Cardamom and pepper are for the cold winter months.

In Kashmir, where the cuisine is much milder, you'll find kahwah, made from powdered green tea, along with cardamom and saffron.

Well in Japan I suppose. In other parts of the world, we have wide area paging networks that are still running strong. My team builds and maintains a paging network that covers an area around 2/3 the size of Japan.
There was a proposal https://github.com/golang/go/issues/7512 to make interface method return types covariant, but it didn't go anywhere, and people seemed to favor the broken behavior (returning a concrete type can fail to satisfy an interface, because the crude matching doesn't care that the type has all the expected methods).
man, taken seriously most of it does sound awfully wrong of course, no argument here. Yet about taking it seriously - this is the quote that follows yours a bit later :

" Necrophilia would be my second choice for what should be done with my corpse, the first being scientific or medical use. Once my dead body is no longer of any use to me, it may as well be of some use to someone. "
That's not half the country.

No, Safari on iOS auto-formats text columns to be screen width when you zoom in (double-tap) on them... but the rest of the website is intact!
I’ve never seen this problem, when did it come up?

As OP says usually the consumer defines an interface, so they aren’t ‘used’ in lots of places, and are rarely changed independent of the code that uses them (which could easily use its own interface instead if required). Typically the implementer changes (which doesn’t matter as long as it still conforms), not the interface.

The exception would be interfaces provided in the std lib, like io.Reader, which are widely used elsewhere but those won’t change at this point.
Life changing amount of money for dev tools and a smattering of HTML/CSS. Right.
I have a 3 year old Miele oven which needed one repair within the warranty period and another one just outside it. I am afraid Miele goes down the way of all the other manufacturers as the reason where parts which where shielded insufficiently from heat and moisture.

In Germany, legislation has been proposed that manufacturers must label the expected lifetime. I am opposed to this as it may lead to stuff breaking down shortly thereafter. On the other side I would be fond of two things: All parts must be serviceable and a minimum period of spare part availability.
This makes him an annoying true believer. This doesn't make him "harmful" in the sense that they seemed to mean.
But again, it's easier to solve your problem if you state it differently. Why do you want to know who implements an interface?

In a statically compiled binary, the compiler will complain at every conversion if the interface is not satisfied.
it's not even that. even if you are light skinned but have remotely "ethnic" features you will never be considered German.
I am not sure how widespread usage correlates with ergonomics and I am afraid it doesn’t.

And before you get a wrong picture: I wrote big parts of my last academic thesis on my smartphone while I was waiting on the bus.

I’d like to use your argument against you: it is a lot easier to have your hands rested on your desk and just move your fingers a few milimeters on a keyboard than it is to hold your hand in mid air and move it around on a screen and it is faster too.

Only downside: harder to learn and the mapping between keys and actions is often unclear.

I have been working professionally as in audio editing and I cannot imagine doing that on a touch screen. I don’t want to frantically wave my hands around the screen like a conductor just to get a fraction of the speed that I would have when using a computer keyboard.

I also have a direct comparison between software modular synths and the real thing. Software can in a sense be more flexible, because you can just place down 10 effect nodes without having to own them, but the cabling is far more exhausing than with a physical cable (unless we talk about presets or removing all cables).

Touchscreens certainly also have their applications where they outperform every other interface, but it depends entirely on the task.
Hmm, I think those are pre-existing pathologies in society that free-love folks have worked really hard both to prevent—by empowering women, by frowning upon non-lesbian couplings, by talking extensively about informed and enthusiastic consent, and by fostering cross-gender friendships the monogs were suspicious of—and to reduce the harm from, for example, with birth control, condoms (and strong norms against not using them), and by socially supporting single motherhood. Sex parties in free-love circles very frequently have strict rules against alcohol, while many serial monogamists can only copulate when intoxicated. So I think you're probably mistaken.

When X is not 'built-in' anymore
The argument isn't that enabling weird dudes to inappropriately hit on women is the progress we are after, that is a complete misunderstanding of the point.

The argument is that often renegade and maverick thinkers are deeply deeply flawed on an individual level and would do stuff like that. This doesn't really fit well into the "progress category" of civil rights, it's more about advances in technology.

TBH I don't know jack about Richard Stallman, but my understanding is he played a huge role in developing the idea of free software which has had enormous benefit to the world in general.

The question is does the benefit the ideas and works of Richard Stallman have brought warrant the personal costs he has imposed on many people around him? And in the future, are the potential personal costs another Richard Stallman would bring worth the advances they could bring in another area?

To put it even more bluntly, will it be possible to have the types of significant progress we desire in technology or what area, while excluding people who on a more personal level we find deeply problematic? Can the best parts of a Richard Stallman or Steve Jobs be separated from the worst parts? Can we in a sense "sanitise" progress so that only people we find socially acceptable are the ones who will do it? What if the people who will do most for humanity's collective properity are (a) assholes (b) unprofessional, and (c) never the shut the hell up about stuff they know nothing about?

I don't have an answer here, but it is going to be an issue worth thinking about going into the future.
This is OT, but I have a droplet on DO and I'm amazed at the amount of malicious traffic it gets. Is it normal for a very private vps to receive thousands of ssh attempts per hour? I have fail2ban installed and the jail is so busy it's quite astounding. Anyone with more web hosting experience that can weigh in?
I saw a lot of that movement too, probably not as much as you.

My sense is that no one was finding any real satisfaction from having short term strictly sexual relationships, and my sense in this day and age of #MeToo (which I very strongly feel has become a witch hunt) is that some men were hurting some women emotionally by only wanting them for sex.
Flamewars on HN don't help make progress. Maybe talking to people in person would help.

Maybe? Probably most food consumed is processed... but the advice should then be, eat unprocessed food (salad, steak, fruit not fruit juice, ...) In addition, some ways of processing food are likely less harmful... e.g. pickling vegetables and drying meat (without using nitrites, such as certain traditional EU PDO meats like Prosciutto di Parma).
I don't understand your comment. Are we commenting on the same article? As far as I can tell this article is about Modi and how the Gates foundation is wrong in its decision to award Modi.

The article speaks about how the Clean India Mission is a farce in reality. It speaks about the NRC which ironically, despite its original intent, ended up rendering a majority of Hindus stateless. It speaks about the completely undemocratic lock down of Kashmir.

How is any of this related to Muslim culture? Or do you think any anti Modi article is by some odd definition, decidedly pro Muslim? That's like saying any anti Trump article is definitely anti American. Muslims are referred to almost as many times as Dalit, Christians and Jews. Show we question their culture as well?

Don't dress your bigotry in the garb of pseudo intellectualism.

Nah, you're doing worse than I am unless you're carbon negative too. My car is fully offset and all marginal stuff is offset too.
There seems to be a valuable lesson for OP about the cost of not playing ball here.

Assuming OPs side of things is mostly true it sounds like:

- OP was working for a bad director, one so bad that they eventually got fired
- Instead of placating this director and pretending to take their concerns into consideration, OP fights back more than other teammates (reading between the lines of the quote "However, given that I was far from John’s favorite (we never openly came into conflict, but I didn’t put the requisite amount of enthusiasm into jumping through his hoops to really get onto his good side)" here)
- The director gives him a very poor performance review, that seems to have had serious impact on OPs career, team selection possibility, and personal finances, despite the director eventually getting fired

It just seems like a very high price to pay just to be able to tell yourself that you're not putting up with bullshit.
Trends Most Likely to Impact Data Monetization for CSPs
A lot of the trade-offs in picking a fixed size array versus a heap allocated array can be solved with a container that supports small vector optimization!

You see this in C++'s std::string type, which leads some people to use it for storing binary data. [1] I'm not sure what common STL-ish implementations of the idea exist.

In Rust, there's SmallVec, which has configurable storage backing and spills onto the heap when there are too many elements. [2]

US government and US payment companies like Visa and Mastercard complaining about India building its own payment processing systems (RuPay).

Countries who depends on US and its companies for technology are very much vulnerable to these type of bullying.

Countries need to look on bigger picture and develop self sustainable technology ventures and US should stop bullying countries with technology to retain the trust.
I’ll pass, thanks. I have enough evidence, anecdotal and from my physician and from experience, that a plant-only diet would be extremely unhealthy for me. I’ll stick to my steaks.
I mention this elsewhere in this sub-thread, but RMS was not completely out of line in 2003 or 2006 writing those kind of things. It was an era when it was still an open question whether the Wikipedia should have pro-pedophilia advocacy in their entries.

For the record, I have never endorsed those positions [1], but I also see that they were on the fringe of acceptable discussion at the time.

[1] See https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Pedophile_mo... for how I felt about pro-pedophile advocacy back in 2004, in an era when a small outspoken fringe worked really hard to make it part of the Wikipedia.

I applied to Snap a few months ago and was insta-rejected which was the first time (and only) that has ever happened to me.

What does you name mean in your native language? Translate that to English and use that to pick an appropriate name. There are plenty of books that give the meaning behind English names and this would allow you to keep a correspondence with your original name.

Tourio – The Audio Tour for the Smart Traveller
It is "normal". Even my home fix IP gets it without any service running on it other than ssh.
I also noticed that pattern with the refugee crisis in 2015. The biggest party by votes in Germany is the Christian Democratic Union (CDU), the party of Angela Merkel. Merkel was initially willing to take in refugees but then backpedaled by not saying anything on the topic anymore. Meanwhile, all the other CDU politicians (ministers, members of parliament etc.) all called for restricting the intake of refugees as much as possible. At the time, I quipped to myself and my friends that they better take the "C" out of their name since AFAIK helping those in need is part of the proverbial "loving thy neighbor" teached by Christianity. That was only a quip but I've since heard some lower-ranking CDU politicians voice the same concerns. Same with climate change: "How can we claim to be a Christian party when we care so little about honoring God's creation?"

(Disclaimer: I'm not Christian and cannot claim any authority on how to interpret the Bible. I would most likely count as agnostic or optimistic nihilist.)
