Freud dealt with the realm of ideas. As much as he got wrong, his approach of dealing with the ideas in one's mind on their own terms, and finding and sussing out the bad ideas to be replaced with good ideas did, eventually, yield beneficial results -- like the big wins of cognitive behavioral therapy.
Carbon Emissions Are Already Falling in 30 Major Cities
It's worth noting that stories like this are the extreme minority of cases. We have a great many customers and the overwhelming majority of computers we sell live out their entire (long) lives without any sort of incident, major or minor. However, when someone buys a computer and everything works as expected, that's not really all that notable because there's nothing interesting about that, and so you don't really here a ton of "works as expected" stories to counteract the negative ones.

I can't really find more than maybe 10-20 unique public cases of a System76 computer having serious problems. I don't want to toot our horns too much here, but that's just not very many people compared to our entire userbase. We're a company with the resources to develop open source firmware; it takes a lot more support from your customers than could be afforded by 10-20 (or 100, 1000, etc.) people to do that.

If you look hard enough, it's not hard to find examples of any computer manufacturer having issues with occasional units. That's just the nature of manufactured products (especially high-tech electronics). No company has a 0% failure rate, and any that claims to is lying. However, you can be reasonably certain that any company that's been around for a decade and a half (or longer) has a lot fewer failures than successes

The ease of ignition for wildfires in California really cannot be overstated.

In recent years, as you note, catalytic converters, power lines, welding equipment, cigarettes, mower blades, flat tires (rim scraping on asphalt), hammers, and broken glass have all started major fires. A Redding fire a few years ago was started by a man mowing his property -- the steel mower blade struck a rock and ignited a major blaze. Which is incredible enough, but the fact is that this risk was known, mowing at that time was prohibited, and he was prosecuted and convicted.

The fuel load is so increadibly dry, and "red flag" conditions, with high heat, low humidity, and gusty and often unpredictable winds, that any point of ignition can and will set off a blaze. Attempting to remove all points of ignition simply isn't sufficient or possible, though it may help in some cases.

A few cases and ignition causes mentioned here:

I worked at Apple for a few years and he was not running around bringing teams together. At the senior leadership team level sure. But not at the engineering or middle management levels.

It sounds quite similar to what OP was experiencing i.e. lots of siloed, secretive teams across a very large, 100K employee organisation.

Because they were beat downs.

i.e. not beat downs. America is good at beat downs, any idiot with a gun is good at a beat down because as the Beastie Boys said it takes a second to wreck. It takes time to build.

Remote wars then are bad because they facilitate beat downs. Because America has big guns, lots of money, and little actual intelligence of how to fix or change anything.

It's funny all these people saying oh well the CIA doesn't do anything it's those stupid people who are fighting with each other because of their ideology. And then look at how Russia with a bit of money screwed up American politics and how badly they reacted to this little bit of interference.

For now, yes, but it is clear that Apple is trying to change this, little by little, they make it harder and harder until being outside of the App Store will be so bad that they will eventually kill it. It's not something they can do in one day, but they definitely want to get there.
I agree with this, as someone who rolls his eyes at the vast majority of what Al Jazeera publishes. I have a similar attitude with RT and Fox News and Breitbart; I may strongly disagree with a lot of their conclusions, but I do recognize the importance of understanding the thought processes underpinning those conclusions.
When George W. Bush did his infamous "Mission Accomplished" stunt,[1] he was sort of right. The "war" had been won. The trouble was that there was no plan for what to do next. The occupation was managed poorly and the insurgency had a chance to grow turning what really was a quick victory into a protracted "war."

Yes it isn't but who else will do that for them? Culture is only possible when people talk to each other and/or exchange thoughts in other ways.

How is this patent active? US9804672B2
https://patents.google.com/patent/US9804672?oq=US9804672B2

Total layman when it comes to IP - I came across this ridiculously broad patent describing Human-computer user interaction. Trivia - If anyone remembers that huge mechanical monstrosity the Novint Falcon, it's describing some aspects of that. It appears Facebook acquired this patent as well, and this dates back to 2010.

The patent is very long and describes 50 - 100 examples of how this applicable, for example there is a wall of text describing how "Throwing" could be achieved.

As the patent goes on, it is literally listing nearly every interaction possible in any game/simulation.

My question is, how enforceable is this patent? My layman's instincts tell me that unless you are achieving desired effect using the hardware described, which in this case, seems to be the novint falcon, then you should be good. Then again, patent trolls are a thing. But my understand is that you can't patent an "end" only the "means" to the end. And if simulating all these interactions is the end, the only thing Facebook could sue on is if you copied their specific hardware solution.

Feel free to point out my ignorant reading of this, perhaps I focused on the forest and missed the trees.
Is there a TL;DR legal entry for that? LMAO.

Bull. I've had cartilage worn out in my knee for years. I remain active and take it very seriously. You don't get "regrowth" and recover.

#1) Yes, definitely. The industry where I work does not require me to be on-call. Anything I have access to do is not immediate, and can only be done after business-hours. Further, I am completely comfortable with indirect chats, and digital meetings. Despite this, along with the fact that our company is only a few years old, we can't work from home - at all. It feels incredibly restrictive, especially considering the fact that many employees work around this rule. It feels like management doesn't trust us to do our work. Having just an extra day would make things so much easier

2) Maybe if I lived in Europe, but I'm in the US, and I quite like being able to afford a decent home + benefits
Not trying to be mean or make a point about this particular treatment. Just stating a fact that it's essentially impossible for an individual to know what treatments worked and didn't work. This is how we end up with woo and traditional Chinese medicine and crystals.

I have no idea about this particular treatment, but I know that the only way to get an idea is rigorous double blind testing.

That's an unanswerable question. He can't know. There is no way to know if an individual treatment worked for you in the absence of a control group. (Ignoring placebos which, sure, can and do "work")

> Hindsight being 20/20, and all, the US withdrawing from Iraq (with some European pressure to do so) caused a lot of instability in the region.

We, the US invading Iraq and then immediately upon occupying it throwing out all experience of past occupations and disbanding the existing security services summarily caused a lot of instability. Without it, the group that subsequently became (despite no previous affiliation with, and some actual tension with, al-Qaeda) “al-Qaeda in Iraq”, then when they outgrew the need for the al-Qaeda brand “the Islamic State in Iraq” and later became “the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria” (or, in the more common translation in many official circles, “...Iraq and the Levant”, hence why you sometimes see government sources referring to ISIL) after remerging with a splinter group that broke off to join in the Syrian civil war, and finally dropped all geographic references to be “the Islamic State”, never would have been anything other than a minor Iraqi internal opposition group.
USB-C Has Finally Come into Its Own
People keep talking here about free (libre) alternatives like Open Location Codes or geohashes, but these aren't alternatives, because they aren't human readable in the same way.

There's no consistent definition of continent; if there were, Europe damn well wouldn't qualify as one.

I'll add, my partner's children enter middle school next year and thinking about all of this is concerning.

My partner points out that this is where children start to "slip through the cracks" -- teachers' ability to provide individualized attention is greatly reduced by the reduction in class time and increased number of students to educate. The difference in structure has a big impact on both sides.

>I appreciate the effort you've been making to inch a bit closer toward the intended use of the site. I hope it isn't too annoying if I say so.

Absolutely not, and I appreciate what you do. It's very uncommon to see someone with the necessary set of skills to effectively maintain a community and put up with people like me. That also includes calmly explaining over and over again the decisions that have to be taken to moderate this site without falling for the "I'm doing this because this is the way it is/because I want to" argument.
Why don't we ADD cameras where mirrors don't see before we start pulling out the mirrors that are working fine?

We should have around-view cameras for all cars by now, parking should be simple and we should never ever curb a rim.

I will say that mirrors are super high resolution, work in a variety of lighting conditions and have a big enough surface that a little dirt doesn't obscure everything.
Note that this is nothing new. The logo was already public.
1080p is 16:9. I presume you meant 16:10 (which is also my preference)
Cameras already do on some cars. I think it might be some Volvo SUV's that no longer have mirrors, but cameras in their place. (I'm not into SUVs so I didn't pay attention to the brand, but I've seen several at the airport when I put my car in the long term parking lot)

Removing this app was the only logical solution. Keeping it on the store would have only added fuel to the fire. An app like this would be catastrophic for any community, Hong Kong or not.

Geos 3.8.0 has been released
Well okay, so I'm getting a bit off-topic with the whole "food is inefficient" argument, but if you look at the efficiency of photosynthesis it only harvests about 3%-6% of the light energy hitting the plant. A lot of that energy then goes to growing other parts of the plant that don't contribute to its caloric content (stems, roots, etc., or in the case of fruit, the entire rest of the plant besides the fruit). To get a ballpark idea of the numbers here, even biofuels have been found to be only about 0.3% efficient at converting sunlight to chemical energy, compared to solar panels which can typically harvest about 10% of the incoming sunlight into electrical energy. Plants are just not that efficient in general.

But efficiency of converting sunlight into energy isn't really what this argument is about, since we're more concerned with the CO2 output than the energy efficiency. The efficiency of human muscles factors in though, as it is only around 20%, compared to electric motors and batteries that are over 90% efficient. Regenerative braking is a big win for the electric car too, since it reduces the impact of the car's higher mass a lot. And when you look at the CO2 per calorie emitted by coal (and of course the US grid emissions are much better than this since we use many other better energy sources than coal), you get about 1.1g per calorie for coal compared to about 4.8g per calorie for fruit. So in a carbon emissions sense, food can also be much less efficient than electricity, even when that electricity comes from fossil fuels.

No single one of these factors is enough to tip the scales on its own, and of course the numbers can skew either way depending on what kind of food you eat, what kind of electricity you use, and many other factors. But I don't think the comparison is a totally crazy one.
Browser extensions are an option.
I can only guess: It is likely judges do not know what they are adjudicating. Another bad case is a patent on driving I2C-enabled RGB LEDs via I2C. It's a patent on using a product as intended. It's like patenting the act of using a brake with a hydraulic line to stop a car.

The guy goes around trolling makers with it and forcing people to pay huge royalties.
For a long time cafe was the most popular framework for researchers. Most people don’t even know of that now.

My point is researchers using a framework (matlab) does not mean it’s used heavily in industries or even all industries.

I bought a Clevo rebadge called a Metabox here in Australia and have all kinds of problems with it. Keys that stick down, headphone jack busted, one of the USB not working, a few other things. I never sent it back on warranty because I would have to buy a new machine to work on while it was away anyhow. I'll just put up with the problems until the next upgrade cycle.

It sits on my desk now with an external keyboard, external USB hub, and external DAC for the headphones to work.
Hold up, I was just looking at that CBO report you linked:

“Income before transfers and taxes consists of market income plus social insurance benefits (including benefits from Social Security, Medicare, unemployment insurance, and workers’ compensation).

Means-tested transfers are cash payments and in-kind services provided through federal, state, and local government assistance programs.”

That’s exactly the arbitrary definitions used to distort what’s going on. I am not saying it’s inaccurate data based on defines used, but all choices are subject to spin. Choices like using 6.2% or 12.4% for Social Security tax rates make a huge difference, and really should be included in these discussions.

PS: Progressive also implies the top 0.1%, and 0.0001% also have higher effective tax rates not just an arbitrary top bucket of say 1%. Using words like ‘top’ is again arbitrary.

PPS: Anyway, do you have a link for that report your referencing?
