Or the Foundation series, or the whole Asimov's Robot series... It's a pity how already written masterpieces are not chosen instead of another skeleton plot encased in special effects. Maybe the rights are too expensive?

There was a similar operation last year, was it genocide? Please, that is not a light word you should throw around without any evidence. I am always disgusted by censorship, but thankfully there are many other channels of information out there. Also you know that Turkey is home of at least 15 million Kurds already.

If they only did! Once they go out of spanish prisons for not having delivered the independence that the people voted, they will have to go to prisons of the catalan republic for the same reason; the second time will actually make sense.

But I was not talking about the coward catalan politicians that surrendered themselves. I was talking about the 7 common citizens that were kidnapped at night last week by the spanish paramilitary and are currently in jail, falsely accused of "terrorism".

Yeah, both as just another part of larger hiring panels and in tech lead roles with the biggest say in who gets in. Maybe I've been rejecting people who'd be fine and am committing the same sin but it seems pretty easy to get a sense of "this person has been working 5 years but is incredibly junior and barely understands the stuff they're working with" or "this person has been working 5 years and really knows their shit" from like 20 minutes of conversation, and I've not seen a true bullshitter get through hiring despite a lack of heavy, time-intensive tech-challenge-based interviews anywhere I've worked. Closest we had one place was a really easy screening project, which we didn't make anyone not-obviously-junior bother with, and I bet a few minutes on the phone with the right person could have replaced that with no real harm to the process.

I have, however, on two occasions probably personally convinced someone they had dodged a bullet by passing on me when I bombed that sort of quizzy interview—they were, I am entirely confident given the job descriptions, my work history, and actual feedback I've received from managers and peers, quite wrong, but I bet they were very sure I was useless and nowhere near being fit for the job.

[EDIT] I guess I should add that I have a history of not realizing that something I'm good at is not actually easy or obvious to others, so possibly I'm just unusually awesome at assessing developer suitability through conversation—I really doubt it, but maybe that's what's going on. I've also not found a way to make this fit with any sort of "we ask everyone the same set of questions because we want spreadsheets at the end" process, as you've got to tailor the interview to both the position and to the candidate, as presented on their résumé and related material. So if you want spreadsheets and quantifiable-everything then I'm not sure how you match that up with my preferred style.
I remember reading the ZeroMQ docs when I was first learning about concurrency. Those plus Joe Armstrong's Programming Erlang book were really fun and eye opening.

I never used ZeroMQ much but it taught me a lot of the language around distributed and high-concurrency systems and problems that come up.
OK, I'm not going to lie. I didn't even know you could copy requests from the network tab into curl (or fetch/ powershell/ etc.) like that. Embarrassing! :) Seems pretty useful!
Term limits should also be placed on Justices. Say 10 years with a rolling limit i.e. a sitting president can only 'place' 2 justices, any other justices would need to be chosen by the house (which is more fairly distributed by #s). The senate would have to ratify/approve still but unanimous house vote chooses the supreme court. This would ensure no party controls the justice system. It might even be beneficial if they just 'alternate' maybe the president gets first pick, then the house, then the president.

I think the house/justice system could also be increased quite a bit. I don't know the numbers but I'm pretty sure the # of house members is in-line w/ population of the early 1900s and is due a major overhaul, I think I heard the house could easily be tripled in size allowing a more diverse/population-centric voice.

We could potentially double the house and justices, perhaps even having two supreme courts running simulatenously if there are enough cases for that, and each court could have a 'leader' who becomes tie breaker for the other court when needed.

But major change is almost inevitably never going to happen in America, especially in our current climate. Maybe after 2020 when the power shifts which I'm hopefully it will shift somewhat more progressive, but then again all shit could break loose again, there's still a good year for things to hit the fan.

Widening the 'voice' of America is something that will probably net benefit democrats of Republicans, as GOP is really good at controlling districting and making themselves seem a bigger 'bloc' then they really are. Though, I think that is shifting a lot of states for instance are instituting non-partisan redistricting committees to handle district changes and updates without the involvement of elected officials. Even here in Utah they voted for this to happen, so that's a good thing.

Getting money out of politics though is desperately needed. I totally agree that campaigns should have a fixed amount. If they do allow donations they should only allow up to 1000 per individual and $0 from organizations. Corporations are NOT individuals NOR are they citizens.

PACs should ONLY be able to push for/against propositions and issues NOT elected officials. All candidate videos should ONLY be sanctioned/pushed by the candidate not by pacs and super pacs.
With recent news that Google, 5 years ago, said that climate change deniers were liars, and yet it's now revealed that they're giving money to them, this story from 2017 still seems relevant.

Edit: Interesting that it's been flagged rather than discussed or refuted.

You're misunderstanding: 17000 is the marginal value of a search engine. 10k is not the marginal value if cancer. If you find the marginal value, then you should be willing to pay that price (but no more) to trade for the thing.

People are willing to pay hundreds of thousands of dollars for cancer treatment, so 10k clearly isn't the marginal value.
I find the opposite effect to be true. In many/most cases, the type model of a piece of Go code is not at all obvious without detailed inspection.

When pretty much anything can implement any interface, and one can only tell whether an interface is fully implemented by close examination of a whole source file (rather than reading a simple implements keyword), the cognitive load is far greater.
This happens on server-side render AAP, and it only happens on production build on dev environment it works fine.

> And I do mind when laypersons are taught by mainstream media that this is science.

What is your definition for "science"?

To me, this is very much science. Starting off with a hypothesis, gathering/analyzing data, controlling for what you can, and concluding your findings with a number of caveats detailing the limitations of your research.

Unfortunately, not everything is a hard science, and even those sciences we consider hard sciences break down when you get deep enough.

I think your suggestion is rather dangerous and implies some arbitrary threshold where we become capable of studying something.

A simple example would by psychology. Whenever a psychology study comes out, people are quick to yell that it is useless, that there are flaws, etc. However, without these psychology studies, where would we begin when studying mental health issues?

How many people would be left to suffer untreated if we were to wait for the biology, chemistry, neurology, etc. fields to become advanced enough for us to detect with certainty the presence of a mental illness?

It's easy to belittle an study that turns up nothing or belongs to a soft science, but as the saying goes, "all models are wrong, but some models are useful."
The way to do this properly got much better in the most recent Go release, the linked documentation doesn't yet take that into account, it would seem.

Motion and loading is definitely integral to cartilage preservation. Unlike most tissues in the body, articular cartilage does not receive oxygen and nutrients from blood vessels, but rather directly from the oil-like synovial fluid that helps lubricate the joint surfaces. I imagine the thin squishy layer of cartilage behaves like a sponge, deforming compressive forces drive synovial fluid out and removing the load (taking weight off the joint) sucks synovial fluid back in, sort of like inhaling / exhaling.

Here is a pretty good basic science review article about articular cartilage:

U.S., China Said to Reach Partial Deal, Could Set Up Trade Truce
I've been following this issue for quite some time and I totally agree with the author.
I've had a lot of odd issues with AWS's productized Elasticsearch, enough that I gave up on it entirely.
I write enterprise software for fortune 100 companies. If I put myself in the user’s shoes and had an alternative, I’d most likely uninstall what we built and jump ship. But they can’t. It’s an internal app and the user is forced to use it. I try and fight for what’s right but if I had a dollar everytime I heard “ we aren’t google/amazon” , “only xx people will use it”, “we are just doing this to get off the old tech stack and need a 1:1 rewrite”.

Big ships turn slowly and change is difficult. UX isn’t valued. Agile is really waterfall and when a big is found it’s always a critical showstopper. Enterprise is a different beast altogether.

For context for those who are not already aware, since this is being downvoted... white traditionally has the same associations in Chinese culture. So it was not an entirely unreasonable question. The answer is just that this happened in the US, not China, and wearing white in the US would be unusual.

This isn't a great analogy.

The problem with guns is that it's mostly binary. Either you live in a society with guns, or without. You don't really have a choice once you're in that society: if you live in the US and don't like guns, that's too bad, because other people can have them, and they can shoot at you with them; you being anti-gun isn't going to help you much if some wacko decides to come to your school and shoot everyone. Or, if you live in Singapore and like guns, that's too bad, because you're not allowed to own one there at all, and if someone somehow manages to smuggle one in and shoot at you, you won't be able to shoot back.

>Android gives you more freedom to choose different devices, but at the cost of most devices not getting security and OS updates.

The key here is you have choice, and your choice completely changes your experience.

So if you get some crappy Android device from a mfgr that doesn't bother with security and OS updates, you could be infected with malware. Whereas if you get a good Android device from a mfgr that does regular updates, you're much less likely to be infected.

>Likewise, Android gives you the freedom to side-load all kinds of things onto your devices, and of course the Android ecosystem is chock-full of malware.

Again, your choice changes your experience. No one is forcing you to side-load apps. If you want to stick with the curated Google Play store (like 99% of users), you can do that. And even there, if you're careful about which apps you load, and stick only to well-known and reputable ones, then again you'll probably avoid any malware problems. No one is forcing you to install some random Chinese-made app that's obviously malware, even though those do exist on the Play store unfortunately. Unlike with guns, the fact that other people with other phones may be installing malware on their devices doesn't affect you: you're not going to get malware because some differnt mfgr doesn't do updates, or because some apps that you never install are malware and are available on the Play store.

This is why the public funding being in hands of American's makes good sense. I like Yang's proposal give all American's $500 in political cash, let them choose who to give it to. If they choose nobody then it goes back into the fund for the next election.

This would also encourage politicians to actually reach out and 'touch' people enough that they give a shit to donate their political cash to that person. It might make more people get out and vote and participate in the election process. When more people vote democracy benefits.

This has been a huge deal for the Perl community.

First, it was thought that Perl 6 would be the replacement for Perl 5.

But it was long ago recognized that there was no clear upgrade path from Perl 5 to Perl 6, so it was agreed that Perl 6 was a "sister" language to Perl 5 rather than the successor.

Except that many people expected that Perl 6 would be the replacement, so that stalled many projects. So an "alias" for Perl 6 was created, but that didn't seem to help.

Larry has now agreed with the change and Perl 6 will be renamed to "raku" and Perl 5, which has regular, major releases every year, will now be able to simply be "Perl" and be free to continue on its own way.

If I had my choice, I'd program in raku because it's a lovely language addressing many pain points (including being one of the few dynamic languages with a working concurrency model). But it's not adopted widely enough yet for that to happen. Time will tell ...
>I think that capital gains should be taxed at a lower rate because people are putting their own wealth on the line.

Its a luxury to have wealth you can invest and grow without actually having to work for a wage. Plus you are overstating the downside, because if they lose their $100, its a tax write off on their next bet they win. If passive income is such a burden because the taxes you are paying, then don't invest and get a job and pay the higher payroll/income taxes, believe it or not no one really cares, just the same as investors don't really care that the rank and file employees who are making them returns don't have healthcare, don't have pensions and are living hand to mouth.

> But people in regular jobs don't put any capital at risk.

You are justifying taxing the working class at a higher rate for being poor.

>They don't put any of their savings at risk.

Because they are living hand to mouth and don't have savings...and thats not because of "foolish bets" at the poker table. The US doesn't have the lowest social mobility rate in the World for nothing or because people are going out and blowing their wealth on bad decisions. The system isn't just stacked against social and economic mobility...the capitalists are actively trying to indebt the working class for life, and the numbers suggest they have been winning for decades now.
precisely. I feel like I'm becoming a grumpy old man, because it seems to me, at face value, the onslaught of 'developers' have brought with them, generally, an aversion to tried and true things...or, everything other than the programming language they've learned. Few of the people I encounter know anything about SQL, much less more advanced features or design. Same with Linux systems. Why care, just throw it in a container and kill it if it acts up. It's a real shame, because I think if more folks took the time to understand things, in this case relational databases, they'd realize how absolutely powerful they are, and why this is a terrible idea.
I like what represent.us is doing pushing for 'anti-corruption acts' across America. If you watch their progress it really is having an effect on democracy.

Enacting something like that in congress would be a HUGE win for America.
> Provide a path to a $1300 laptop that is POWER based (and not crippled "slow 1 core SMT1" stuff from IBM's dead-bin) and you might entice System76 and Purism.

I just gave them a path to a desktop that is POWER based, with very low up front costs (basically take their existing Thelio chassis, swap mainboards from x86 to POWER, do some software builds of Pop!_OS, and do a trial launch). I think that's a far more reasonable initial trial than going for a full laptop. It's also relatively consumer friendly, especially in today's cloud era where the proprietary apps people are using might just well be behind a web browser in the first place.

If they were a laptop-only company I'd agree with your assessment (I'm not happy with the GPU situation at all, that's the primary blocker for a libre laptop), but they're a laptop and desktop company. That means there's more ways they can test market owner controlled systems than a full up laptop design with massive design + tooling costs for an uncertain return.
I have found this to be true of everything other than byte slices, where the result is some of the worst bugs I've had the displeasure of tracking down.

Many Go libraries like to offer passing a byte slice to reuse as a destination. Many Go libraries take byte slices or structs containing them as arguments. A common result is "loop over some input, read it into the reusable slice, pass the slice to the next step". It even sort of works - until the next step does something asynchronous.

It doesn't help that:

- Lots of things return a new slice "sometimes" - _this_ append() result is safe to pass on; this other one is not; this other one "it depends".

- The `x[:]` idiom to turn an array into a slice looks exactly like a Python copy, but actually shares the same backing store.

In the end we basically banned reusing slices as a result. (The rule I tell new programmers is "if you pass the slice elsewhere in a loop, the slice needs to be allocated within the loop.") Which is a shame, because the performance gain from safe reuse is often significant. But until the type system blocks us from changes, usually in the oblivious callee, which turn a safe use into an unsafe one, it's simply too much effort to remember and review each case.
Can someone give the rest of us some context on this?

The problem with that idea is that it completely misses the fact that most of us have to get up at a specific time in order to get to work or school or whatever else we have to do.

I tried the no-trigger approach for a while, when I was between jobs and didn't have anything to do otherwise. What I found out is that my natural schedule, without manual intervention, has me going to bed at approximately 2am and waking up at around 10:30-11am. When I regained employment, it was a pretty rough transition to go back to waking up at 7am again. After going through that experience, I'd caution people about buying into the no-trigger method. Yes, your brain will naturally get you the amount of sleep that you need. However, there is no guarantee that your natural sleep cycle will mesh with the other obligations you have in your life.
When I was a kid, probably from ages 13-18 or so, I always fell asleep to a Harry Potter audiobook. I owned a copy of Half Blood Prince on CD (more accurately on 20 CDs) and I wouldn't bother changing out the disc (at least not that often), it was just some background noise to help me fall asleep.

As the other responder says, this is a terrible generalization. Japan also has a society where the greater good and social harmony are highly valued, and they don't have things like concentration camps, a great firewall, IP theft, etc.

However, in the US, we do have concentration camps. We call them "migrant detention centers", and people are forced to drink water from the toilet there, and small children are forcibly separate from their mothers. It seems to me that the US is more similar to China than you think.

Thats not how it works, you can pay out of pocket for a lawyer to help you, but people in this position can't generally afford a lawyer. Take a look at all the stories of Trump not paying employees, they didn't have a government hotline to call that got Trump to pay up.
