> substantial evidence that there was violence involved.

This was your original claim. You are implicitely withdrawing it and moving the goalpost to "evidence of substantial violence"(which is ok, but it was so easy to rebate in its original form that couldn't resist). BTW, states have the monopoly of violence which makes the comparison complicated to asses to anyone who believes in representative democracy and the separation of powers(policemen were trying to execute a court order, no less and no more).

You can keep your 500$, I already knew you were bluffing.

Regarding the issue you are bringing. Yes, the police intervention was a massive clusterfuck. It was impossible to stop the so called "referendum" without the complete cooperation of catalan police and the civil guard and national police cops were sent to an impossible mission. Some of them misbehave, probably out of frustration and fear/anger. This is something a policemen should never do.

If that's your point I could agree.
The DOS and Apple II versions are identical. (There was a later "Deluxe" version for DOS that was more like the Mac version.)
Yes, the commonality of pilot experience is an important safety consideration, and something that Boeing has been praised for in the past, but it is the the breaking of that principle (or, more precisely, the attempts to downplay the differences introduced by MCAS) that is the issue in this case.
Public uprising against established order. Which is a) something any legal system prosecutes, and b) something these people did. There is also in Spain a aggravating case for doing this from a public role, which seems reasonable and also applies to some of these individuals.
Salt rising bread qualifies, though you are unlikely to make it. It is a bit of a process, can be a little fussy, and the taste is somewhat unusual (though I like it a lot). In the words of noted food writer, Harold McGee:

"I've recently come across a fringe fermentation method that, unlike the breads and brews and yogurts and pickles and misos we know and love, isn't run by the usual benign microbes. The engine behind this fermentation method is Clostridium perfringens, a close relative of bacteria that cause botulism, tetanus, and food poisoning. It can eat flesh. It gives gas gangrene its name by causing putrefying flesh wounds that bubble and foam with flammable hydrogen. And it can make something surprisingly delicate and tasty."

Totally misunderstands "psychological safety".

The reason why people are afraid of speaking up is because of an excess of "psychological safety", not a deficit. It is because the boss needs to feel "safe". That culture comes from and is for the senior staff.

It is funny because I have seen companies understand this and try to hire a diverse group. But they do everything else in a very rigid, hierarchical way. So most junior people end up leaving, and the senior people go on as before. One particular firm has been doing diverse hiring for close to three decades...their senior staff is still composed of the good old boys who have their come to Christ moment about diversity every few years but never change themselves.

You really have to focus on those senior people to understand this. Everyone says they want diversity, they may even hire diverse...but when a junior person is telling them why they are wrong, they will utterly lose their shit.

I do know places that have comfortably achieved diversity too. But the thinking required is basically antithetical to everything that people are taught about how to behave i.e. think things through for yourself, don't think emotionally, be prepared to be wrong and change your mind when that occurs, etc.
With the rise of mobile predominance, innovation on desktop platforms has essentially stalled. Consumers don't really care.
Things change, deal with it. I've swapped USB cables to USB-C cables. Only USB drives, which i rarely use anymore require an adapter. Meanwhile, I can use all 4 ports to:

- Run a display

- Charge my laptop

- Charge a phone

- Connect a drive

I can even use a single port to both charge the laptop and run a screen with multiple USB devices attached to it.

I now need to daisy chain converters to use my PS/2 mouse on my MacBook though, so that's a bit of a hassle.
Yet how many crashes are due to engine failure? I have a friend who is a flight instructor on small planes, and he describes most general aviation crashes as being due to insufficient/improper preparation: not being aware of weather conditions, skipping safety checks, etc. Pressure (from passengers or the pilot themselves) to arrive at a destination by a specified deadline also play a role: a flight should always be delayed if there are concerns about weather, equipment, etc. Commercial aviation has an advantage, here: the layers of bureaucracy prevent passengers from interacting with the people deciding whether to delay or cancel a flight (I'm not even sure who makes that call: is it the pilots, or someone in a central office somewhere?).

Of course unexpected catastrophic failures do occur, but I've not seen any statistics that claim that they are a prevalent cause of general aviation crashes.

All that being said, in the case of the MAX, I find it unfathomable to blame pilot error, given the lack of training on the MCAS system.

- Read some recent PR's on an area of the codebase you'll be in. See if you can come up with some questions if you can't figure out why something was done. It would impress me if someone came to me with great questions or was just interested in learning.

- Be aware of your time. Sometimes, devs can be pulled in many different directions that distract them from what matters.

- Learn and research your company's tools and practices, i.e. Github/Bitbucket, Trello/Asana, scrum/okr's, etc.

- Get your dev environment running. If there are bugs or issues in the documentation, see if you can make a PR and fix it for the next person.

edit: PR stands for "pull request." Adding, since I would not have known this just out of college.
It's probably their listing, Amazon factors in product views in the search ranking and if you suddenly start getting a bunch of people clicking...
I've been getting a lot of stuff at Home Depot and Lowe's recently, and finding that they each have different products for everything, and which one is obviously better/cheaper varies on an extremely granular level - not just a manufacturer or product type, but an individual product. It's gotten really frustrating that every time I want three or four things I have to go to both or I will regret my choices.

I believe this is a general phenomenon and I read years ago about someone studying it in grocery stores. I'm not sure to what extent it is emergent vs. rationally thought out, but direct competitors tend to evolve to give you just enough good options to get you in the store, and as many bad deals as you are likely to go with just because you are in the store. Being uniformly better is not necessary to compete and therefore suboptimal.

It's also good that you are willing to listen to his advice. It sometimes hard for opinions to be heard in conservative environments. It should be the role of a good manager to make sure that everyone is encouraged to share his views, especially those who wouldn't do it naturally.

Sometimes, I'm amazed that so many people simply keep their mouth shut even if they totally disagree with their management or project organization!
A large amount of the population does not use the internet the way you do. I don't have the exact numbers, but by figure of speech I would dare to say that 80% of the population do not care about data collection or being spied upon as long as they get what they want.

3) Run a balanced budget. No borrowing or tricks.

The politicians need to have some level of freedom to deal with impossible voter demands and then you get back to voting for people who are most likely to make decisions the voter likes.
I came here to say the same. I do have more issues with macOS than I did, say, 5 years ago.

However, the constant Windows update cycle is a nightmare and Linux still can't seem to get battery life and things like Bluetooth (audio inputs, etc.) quite right, so I'm left with hoping that Apple gets their stuff back together.

Operating system stability just seems to have declined in general in the last 3-5 years.
Until 2014-15 it was my understanding that the approved way was to reinstall the OS every 6-7 months. Things would slowly stop working with drivers and software installations...

I run photoshop (cs5) in wine, although I could program get by with gimp I rarely do anything other than crop or rotate a photo. For Office I just use Google Docs or LibreOffice depending on the situation. I'd say 90% the former 10% the latter.
My first game was the Friendlyware PC Arcade, which is up there now. It's a bunch of clones of coin-op arcade games done in ASCII/CP-437 graphics. The Frogger clone "Hopper" is most memorable for me. I still love anything done with CP-437.

For quite awhile it was hard to find on the "abandonware" sites, probably because it was a PC booter disk. I did find it eventually and have it saved. Nice to see it up on the archive now too. (I also have the original 5.25" floppy, but no drive to read it.)
This reminded me of the quipu:

A quipu usually consisted of cotton or camelid fiber strings. The Inca people used them for collecting data and keeping records, monitoring tax obligations, properly collecting census records, calendrical information, and for military organization.[4] The cords stored numeric and other values encoded as knots, often in a base ten positional system. A quipu could have only a few or thousands of cords.[5] The configuration of the quipus has been "compared to string mops."[6] Archaeological evidence has also shown the use of finely carved wood as a supplemental, and perhaps more sturdy, base to which the color-coded cords would be attached.[7] A relatively small number have survived.

Why wouldn't they say something like "The NSA hacked our computers from which it then launched an attack on France."

Even with total surveillance of its internal networks, it's not like anyone is expecting China to end all cyber attacks against its computers, especially when so many run unpatched.
When you talk about data here these are people. This HiQ software is actually a bit scary. What if it gives a false signal which ends in an employees termination? Data on people should not be freely attainable, the person should give explicit access. If I don’t want HiQ processing my information (I don’t) then they shouldn’t be able to. Especially now with some employers requiring a LinkedIn profile.

Only under capitalism. That's precisely why this is terrifyingly capitalistic. Societies ability to produce dictates all aspects of life. But not necessarily ability to pay.

Not if you're really rich (a millionaire). But even rich people in the UK will usually go for the NHS first. The care's pretty good.
>virtually no one actually experiencing it

By "virtually no one" you mean "virtually everyone." Because what I described is very common. I've experienced it and I sell very little on Amazon - less than 100 sales a year. Less than 50 items a year in the past several years.

>you should report the discrepancy to Amazon.

How about you actually pay attention to people's experiences before discounting them? The author of the blog post I linked to literally reported the issue to Amazon and Amazon insisted the massive amount of inventory was theirs. It would be easy to see that it wasn't merely by looking at the weight of what was shipped (among other very obvious things...). Since they can't get their heads out of their ass enough to do that (or simply not check in the same shipment twice and double count that inventory), I'm not believing they have much inventory source tracking going on.

Amazon may think they are doing a great job tracking inventory but the facts say otherwise.
Meh. It's kinds of an interesting data visualization project, so I'll let it slide.
>You can't tell what would or would not be made in the absence of an incentive that has never not been provided.

You can though. Precisely because there are countries (past and present) that have / had no legal framework for such incentives, and there are others where the framework was there but the law is not enforced. And we can observe how it is working for them, compare and contrast. I live in one of them (lived here all my life) but work for countries that provide such a protection (precisely because my intellectual property would not be respected here, so my own country my homeland does not get to benefit from my work) so it is easy for me to look at both sides of the coin - though it is not strictly necessary. It doesn't take hands on experience to observe that the most productive and innovative countries occupying planet earth are those that have strong intellectual property rights.

There is a lot of low hanging fruit where I live that would double the GDP of the country in a few years but no one is doing it, because they are either capital intensive, or time intensive (or both) but without any protections there to make it worth your while it doesn't make sense to attempt those - for anyone. It makes more sense to pitch any innovative ideas to countries that will protect you so that you get a return proportional to the value you generate for the rest of the society. If I have an idea that has the potential to shave 1 hour off of millions of people's work everyday, that is enormous value generated for everyone and I should be rewarded proportionally. Not to mention the risk I'd have to take to attempt that, by attempting that I'm doing this instead of doing something else with my only life so of course the incentive HAS TO be there.

>The think tank researching a cure for cancer will still have ample funding sources from those who think not having cancer would be beneficial regardless of those sponsors ability to profit off said cure.

I think this is far too naive way of looking at it. You are taking risk entirely out of the equation. If I'm attempting to do something that is of value to other people, merely by attempting it, I am taking a RISK. My time is my most valuable asset, I only live once, and I'm willing to invest my time and capital into this endeavor instead of doing something else with them. The resources of human beings are not unlimited, so they need to have a heuristic / algorithm to ration their resources. Their survival / wellbeing is dependent on this. So something becomes a viable risk only if there is a possible return that makes sense. Like you wouldn't play coin flip for 1.1x or nothing right? It must at the very least be 2x or nothing to break even.

So we think we'd like to do good for no possibility of personal return, but behavioral economics show that humans do not operate that way (even though they'd like to think that they would) because each and every human being have their own lives, responsibilities, families, wants, wishes and only limited resources. To make ANYTHING the returns must be congruent with your heuristic about how you'd like to divide your limited resources.

Honestly, I don't see any relevancy in the statement of this project. Using kindles and other ebook readerds for about 6 years and always asked to recommend one, I've learned that ebook readers are one of the most realiable devices ever built, so you'd better buy a used one and take it off the market than produce yourself another devices honestly no one needs at the moment. A lot of the people buying ebook readers usually end up ditching them just because their 'reading hype' didn't catch on, or their company's read and roll program (we have Bookster in Romania) is cheaper to use (as it's free) than buying and converting books all the time.

But, ebook readers are cheap and easy to use (if bought used), even kindle's amazon. Since you have a kindle e-mail address you can just use an app to convert every non-kindle-format file into a compliant one, that's it if you don't want to use Calibre via USB or WebServer. I use eBooker on my Android phone.

Advertising allows relatively cheap, very low effort, access to mass manipulation of a population.

If people had to actually effort to share knowledge - as we evolved to having to do, to excel at story telling to pass on knowledge through generations - then that cost would prevent the kind of rapid indoctrination and rallying people based on hate, emotional and irrational thinking - thought that hasn't been checked with critical thinking.

Process of indoctrination can only exist when fear is constantly present, suppressed-repressed reaction - emotional or otherwise - when ego mind guard is constantly active; Ekhart Tolle in The Power of Now references this and the insanity that this leads to.

Yes, but reading old books doesn't usually capture the old vernacular well. Even if written (professionally) with that intent (Mice and Men, Flowers for Algernon) movies and audio were generally more accurate, (even if exaggerated) in that they're not subject to interpretation.

The writing of an un-edited grandparent might be a more accurate account of this.

I am really disappointed in BBC's reporting here. They chose to interpret a idiom in a literal way just to make a maximally controversial headline.

Surprised nobody has mentioned Target here. It’s not quite as broad as Amazon or Walmart, but for what they carry I’m under the impression their inventory control is superior to the other two. It’s not a marketplace, and AFAIK they don’t drop-ship or commingle inventory.
