The Astonishing Hypothesis
Yeah, I tend to agree with you here. The difference I see is that solar has already been heavily invested in and developed recently, so it's probably near the limit of today's material science.

My personal philosophy about technological progress is based heavily on the idea that material science is the principle barrier to what we can accomplish. That's why humanity's progress is recounted in "ages" named by material.

So, I think solar panels can get maybe 2-10x more economical, whereas other options like new hydrocarbon sources, fission, and fusion can probably all get at least 10x more economical than the maximum possible with solar, purely due to the physical limitations of the technology.

Hey, have you seen the preview docs of hasura actions? It has a small example of integrating python (or for that matter, any language) for custom mutations.
Nitpicking, but Ricky Muir (the car guy) was elected in the Senate, which does not really have instant runoff in the way described here. (For outsiders: our House of Representatives is IRV, our Senate is Proportional Representation which is like IRV but with multiple winners on each ballot)

Agree with you that electing a random citizen gave much better results than party slime.
The planetary orbits in the solar system are vastly smaller than the typical distance between stars in the combined Milky-Way-Andromeda system. The only difference will be a slightly higher typical speed for Andromeda stars compared to the relative motion of stars in the Milky Way disk. But that's only by like a factor of 10, and I don't have any reason to think that will cause a perturbation that's noticeable above the normal uncertainty from chaos in planetary orbits.
> That is an extremely US-centric view.

I'm an Australian citizen living in NYC. If you think Telstra behaves any better than the lot over here you may be in error.

So I guess that makes my view Pacific-centric.

It can't be infinitely old, infinitely sized, and static. That observation doesn't preclude infinitely old, infinitely sized, and expanding rapidly.

Other factors make the infinitely old part unlikely, though.
I find chainsaws perfectly plausible in this context

You forgot that there is a policeman in critic state at the hospital after being hit with a rock in the head by this merry people (while bearing a security helmet that was perforated by the force of the impact).

And also that a police helicopter was videotaped being attacked with fireworks and the responsible faces now charges of attempt of homicide by trying to take down the helicopter

And that thousands of policemen were injured with broken hands and arms, and had being attacked with acid and steel balls launched with professional slingshoots

But yeah, sure, disproportionate use of force, foam bullets hurt a lot, police is evil, whatever...

Be respectful. Anyone sharing work is making a contribution, however modest.

Ask questions out of curiosity. Don't cross-examine.

Instead of "you're doing it wrong", suggest alternatives. When someone is learning, help them learn more.

When something isn't good, you needn't pretend that it is. But don't be gratuitously negative.
I'm mostly thinking of in home delivery for e-commerce. There was a company called Latch that was acquired that was more or less a smart lock for this purpose. You can see fairly regular news stories of Walmart/Amazon attempting this sort of thing. I believe amazon has some way to put items in the trunk of your car, but I don''t have a link handy.
Awesome bit of trivia hidden in that very interesting Wiki page:

> Calhoun's work with rats inspired the 1971 children's book, Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH, by Robert C. O'Brien, which was adapted into a 1982 animated film, The Secret of NIMH.

Calhoun did his work on rats/mice at the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH).
Thanks - that's new to me. I'll check it out (though on the face of it I'm not entirely keen to start paying Google again for a service they treat this badly).
Not a lawyer, but I thought that one element of a binding contract (at least in the common law Anglosphere) is that the parties must intend to create a legally binding relationship - i.e. if two friends agree to each do a favour for each other, and one of them reneges on their promise, the courts won't hold that it's a contract because in general if you ask a friend to do a favour for you, it's not understood to be a formal legal relationship.

I wonder how that applies to embargoes that don't come with formal NDAs or whatever.
As long as they pay their taxes, employees and suppliers, you’re right. Otherwise they’re stealing and public is paying for it.

Seemingly there's a lot of pump-n-dump types of situations going on that in this case SoftBank was complicit with Adam with.

This is not an isolated case, and I'm glad Wall St. called bullshit on WeWork, but likely only because even they couldn't place those bullshit IPO shares - not enough greater fool liquidity out there apparently... Sounds like a case for optimism :D
>It's their right to be stupid. As long as the do it on their and their non public investor's dime.

Perhaps, but from the outside it looks like at some point Adam decided that instead of running a real company he was going to pump and dump We and run off with as much cash as he and his wife could carry.

SoftBank's action here, while possibly a good strategic choice for them at this point, looks from the outside to be rewarding antisocial behavior with more money than the vast majority of us will ever earn in our lifetimes. People aren't saying that SoftBank can't do it, they're just saying that it's very unpleasant to watch.
Love me some Yara. It’s totally the best.
I know what you're getting at; you obviously can't measure pain in the same way you can measure blood pressure or heartrate (both of which, by the way, are affected by placebo.) But it's abject nonsense to extend that to the idea that you can't measure pain at all. Do you claim that the effect of opioids on pain is unmeasurable?
So I actually disagree with the Polish government here, but not on the grounds that a government should not be able to set policy in this area, but rather I think the policy they set is wrong.
I like Gtk2 but it has big problems in HiDPI scenarios, and is not Wayland native. It's quite worthwhile by now to standardize on the Gtk3 series, at least provided that reliable theming is added back in - and Gtk3 developers seem to be aware that this is widely considered to be a real issue.
Physical comedy is still prevalent in mainstream culture. I would argue that the best comedians use it sparingly, but they do use it.

For example the show "The Trailerpark Boys" have reoccurring gags which depend on slapstick physical humour, and they always make me laugh.

The slapstick comedy of the 1930's could be viewed with no context or even sound. I think it's evolved since then, the context (characters, plot, motivations) of the physical comedy matters a lot more now...
It’s funny to hear stories like this, because I didn’t begin my career as a software dev and 37k would have seemed like incredible money to me fresh out of college in ‘06. My first job, I was making 21k and I felt pretty ok about it. I’m making an order of magnitude more now, but I’m grateful for learning how to be happy on a 21k salary. Literally everything over that feels like excess that I could do without if need be. Makes it easy to choose the work that I actually want to do, too.

I'm a Melbourne, Australia based developer that's been working on a product that can launch any pull request or commit into a self contained, sharable environment accessed via a simple link. A few people are working in this space but my product has a few features that others don't have which I can go over.

I'm at the point where we use the tool continuously at my day job but I'm fairly time poor to take it beyond that. I'd be looking to connect with others that have built and promoted similar developer tools.

The question is really "if you're not on AWS, do you have to mitigate a DDoS"? It's a big target for reasons unrelated to what most people run.
Still has serious bugs with certificates that I don't think will ever be fixed.

On Mac, loading all the appropriate DoD certs and trying to log into OWA causes an unrecoverable hang.

Loading only DOD ID SW CA-37 will allow login to numerous sites. However, after closing those tabs, all other sites time out while "Performing a TLS handshake..."

Lastly, quitting Firefox after a PIV/CAC login causes an unrecoverable hang.
There's almost a business model for a 3rd party to run a AWS service status dashboard that's more accurate.
But it's bizarre that, even if for some reason it doesn't recognise common Indian names, that it just treats 'unknown strings' as English words.
I love how everyone here is pretending that if they did a startup company and got investment this big, they wouldn't put in safety measures for themselves. Or even better, not sell their shares at last investment evaluation. Private corps still have shares and he wasn't going to let go of voting rights without a few shipping containers worth of money. You really want to pretend you wouldn't do the same?

Stop hating the player because you'll get nowhere. Hate the game and the bullshit religious devotion to these tech companies. Ya'll worship these twats one way or another. From the Jobs, Musks, Bezos, Zuckerbergs, ya'll worshipped them at one point. The Silicon Valley made the joke about this with the pitches that were "Make the world a better place with..." Then you gasp in surprise when you find out they're the same asshole as any other business major.

These are all businesses. For profits. Not non-profits. There is zero difference between a ceo/founder in SV compared to Rockefeller, Carnegie, JP Morgan, or even Donald Trump. They are all the same money and power hungry folks. Some just have better PR teams and self restraint than others. Better wig makers too.

The only stone cold crazy thing going on is that people are surprised.
I am very interested to see how many Latinos work here. At least here in Canada elderly care workers are mostly indentured Filipino workers whose immigration files are delayed by the Federal govt essentially making them indentured servants. It is appalling to see first world countries exploiting third world workers by indentured servitude to take care of their parents & elderly.
I do like the containers feature, but I'm not referring to cross-site sandboxing here.
This is linuxreviews.org, which I believe is just a site run by some guy, so meh, just let he do his thing. If it was an official release from XFCE, then I wouuld agree with you.
That's a bit of a strawman, the second paragraph never posited this unless you really think discrimination against women in 2015 is comparable to discrimination against blacks in 1955.

What I think the second paragraph fails to talk about is truly rampant discrimination leads to less opportunity for people to achieve the same quality/throughput of work as those not discriminated against. If you're in a group that has been systematically discriminated against it's not really reasonable to expect that group to have equal representation in an in a high skill pool they've not generally been allowed in.

Back to talking about the original point made by the comment though: The conversation and data (usually) isn't "Jane has shown herself to be equally as valuable as John but nobody will hire her for more than <smaller>% the rate of John" it's "women are not in the same high paying roles as men in the same field, by some percentage, why is that" and usually people can agree it's not that women are naturally <x>% worse performing than men in every way so there is something discriminatory we are doing wrong as a society still.
Have you filed a bug report on their bugzilla? Is there a way they can test test certs? Are there public facing websites or are these all going to be internal/government?
I wouldn't say "Linux developers". To me, it seems that not only are the Linux kernel developers incredibly concerned with backwards compatibility, but so are many other projects. In my view, it's only in the context of DE stuff like Gtk/Gnome that backwards compatibility seems to go out the window.
Home meal prep. I think there's an opportunity for someone to nail this, just nobody has. I'd love somewhere to create a schedule, dietary preferences, family size, and have a fresh, healthy, varied meal delivered every day, without having to think about it again.
Anything in this world has a value you have to pay.

Don't think about money, think about the path you want to go, a path you would be happy to go and money comes in its right time

Choose "infinite" goals in your life, and follow them.
No, this is again an incorrect analysis.

In my example, the knife is the app.

In your example, the knife is the phone.

In my example, the sued knife manufacturer is the app developer.

In your example, the sued knife manufacturer would have to be the Mobile Phone creator. You intended for it to be the App Developer.

Regardless, much like the point of a knife is to stab, the point of a tracking app is to surreptitiously track. When a murderer uses a knife to stab a human, the murderer is at fault. When a stalker uses a tracking app to stalk, the stalker is at fault. Not the creator of the knife and not the creator of the tracking app.

I disagree. Polling in 2016 clearly showed Trump and Clinton were each individually the two least-liked nominees in their parties in modern presidential history. First-past-the-post and bitter primaries were largely responsible for the result-- over a third of voters remained at home on Election Day 2016. In some electoral systems, they even have an option to reject all nominees in these kinds of situations.
Lots of people believe there is a certain right way and a certain wrong way to parent. When really what it is is every kid, every parent, and every relationship is different. What works for one may not work for others. The same way as every other relationship on the planet works.

There are some constants that almost always apply. Don't hit, don't steal, don't abandon, try not to yell. But outside of those, I'm convinced that a lot of what you see as parenting advice out there is just survivorship masquerading as wisdom. Some people get really easy kids, and they confusedly believe that they were awesome parents. Some people get really tough kids and have to try strategies parents with easy kids never had to reach for. Even this is an oversimplification, since there are actually many different dimensions to parenting, not a simple easy to hard continuum.

I can absolutely believe there are some parent-child relationships that would not tolerate phone surveillance. There are also parents who would use the capability unwisely. On the other hand, there are children who are not very responsible, and there are plenty of things on the internet and out in the world that can prey on these kids. Only you know your relationship with your kids. "Don't surveil" as a commandment does not fit with the three I mentioned earlier. It's certainly not an absolute.

Ouf that BC referendum, I've never seen a more poorly worded referendum in my life. As someone passionate about good representation I had to google around to actually comprehend what Rural-Urban PR was. Additionally I know that some of the more progressive folks I know voted no on the referendum because all the options ended with a disclaimer of "This is all advisory and the actual implementation will be determined later" which they interpreted as "We'll actually end up deciding this by committee behind closed doors".

Both of the leading parties lobby so strong against any PR that we just need to switch over to IRV to clear out the incumbent power base.
In general there’s too many “one man/woman/superhero’s only chance to save country/world/universe” movies. The formula is oversaturated with too many movies that try to make up for bad writing and uninteresting stories with excessive CGI and explosions.

There’s also quite a bit of hypocrisy in Hollywood in general. They claim to be progressive but I’m not sure I’ve seen many movies where the Indian guy wasn’t comic relief or the Arab looking guy wasn’t a terrorist or other form of antagonist.
What design decisions? If I wanted to track my child with their phone, or track my phone in case it was stolen, what design decisions would differ from those use cases and the stalker use case?

“The Unknown Question” – The End
I'm trying to give it a go. Note: the "upload media" step is really annoying.

The error message I'm getting is "1_QnlzdbGUlNNNlDRWAwnlsQ.png: Something went wrong with the file upload operation. Please try again later!"

In general I would definitely not make having media a requirement, since there are lots of requirements you have listed and so a lot could go wrong here, preventing people from using the site. Let them add it later. I'm gonna keep trying things, but wanted to mention this in case I give up.

Edit: okay, I was able to get past that via uploading some stock image of a beach. Besides that, seems like an interesting idea and the site was well written and designed. I'll see what happens with my post. Having a "Project Manager" or other type of leadership position might be helpful too. Cool stuff.
> But guys, a little real talk: these kinds of screenshots do nothing to make us look more professional.

Professional advertising has always featured attractive women in screen shots or using products. They ipad page has attractive women in selfies: https://www.apple.com/ipad-10.2/ . The pixel 3 page has women in tight shorts walking down the street: https://store.google.com/product/pixel_3 .

The only difference is this is using a personal k-pop collection instead of professional photography.

I've filed some bug reports but not others. The issue is it's such weird behavior it's hard to isolate.

The issue seems to be related to PIV/CAC cards specifically, which obviously increases the difficulty of anyone on the team replicating the bug.
Agree, but this assumes there is not legitimate use cases for a tracking app.

What do you think is missing from current options, because an awful lot of podcasts have ads for these right now. Freshly comes to mind as a brand I would recognize, but I've definitely heard multiple services advertizing that you can customize to your schedule, number of mouths to feed, dietary preferences (common sensitivities, kosher / halal, veg*, etc.)
It sure feels like they are implying causation where we just really see correlation.
That's just the per-hosted zone pricing. The SLA covers the per-query pricing, which can really add up.
I started playing around with Linux since Redhat 5.1, and it is amazing that after all these years, some people still don't get it when it comes to good UI/UX design. The fonts look all out of place even on window titles.

I thought, well it is an open source project with people doing this on their spare time, maybe I should contribute to that project to help, but the issue is so widespread that there really needs to be a frank conversation about it so that all the teams start doing some basic polish on the presentation.

I'm very glad though that the font rendering nightmare is over in Linux and funny enough, IMHO now Windows has the crazy font rendering.
Purely from a logical perspective, this counterargument would only seem to be valid if all humans in all circumstances are always entirely fungible. Are they?
Revolution Populi
Borda seems to assume every voter ranks every single candidate. That seems pretty impractical -- it's asking way too much of voters, unless the total number of candidates is somehow limited to ~5 (and even 5 would be pushing it IMO). Am I missing an obvious workaround to avoid voters essentially needing to rank every single candidate for their ballot to be considered valid?

Edit: Wikipedia has a discussion on this issue [1], and none of the solutions seem great. The obvious one (giving unmarked candidates the lowest number of points) devolves into anyone being strategic only ranking their single favorite candidate as #1, which is the current system.
