This is so freaking cool. I just had a large war leading an army as a noble only to have my castle destroyed. After I rebuilt it and went to sleep, I woke up to check my phone messages and called all my missed calls.

Slightly off topic but YSK that exercise, the elimination diet and QEEG neurofeedback are all statistically significant non pharmaceutical treatments. You can find it all in google scholar and pubmed.

Also YSK that ADHD presentation is near identical to sleep apnea and mild autism spectrum. Even if you get a ADHD diagnosis remain skeptical and have the other two checked out with a sleep study and a autism specialist.
I agree. It's worth noting that successfully getting high minimum wages enacted can be expected to make more jobs more abusive in this way, because rationing by willingness to take abuse would substitute for rationing by wages.

A more humane and less distorting way to help poor people is to just give them money.
Lead acid batteries are used in pretty much everything ICE vehicle and are used in large quantities as uninterruptible power supplies (data centers use a ton). It's a huge industry.
Not only that, there are certain things that need to be taught because you will never figure them out on your own. For instance, in English the voiced/voiceless distinction in consonants involves differences in vowel length and aspiration in addition to voicing. If your mother tongue relies entirely on voicing, as all Romance languages do, then you will interpret the other features as an affectation when in fact they have an important phonemic role.
That line needs updating as it doesn't apply to people running it serverless. That was aimed at the DO users who need to power down to upgrade.

Estimote is likely a part of Apple's iBeacon program and has a license to build the technology into their beacons. FIND likely isn't a part of this program, and therefore can't support it. If Estimote is a part of Apple's iBeacon program, they may be legally unable to implement an Android solution for room mapping functionality, lest they remove themselves from the iBeacon program.

is the second link not the thing they just announced the shutdown of? Unless i'm missing something, the big material differnce between gitlab's developer program and github's developer program is that gitlab's version isn't deprecated.
"time-smoothed electric grids".
Exactly, this is actually where Lithium batteries make the most sense, especially with solar. It isn't to provide 100% backup output at a grid/utility scale but to make output more consistent when it comes to voltage variance and output. Time shifting power output even by minutes via storage combined with solar forecasting (disclaimer: I work for a solar forecasting company), from what I can tell, can remove a large chunk of uncertainty. The better the forecasting, the smaller the battery can be whilst maintaining low levels of uncertainty.

Grid scale "backup" via Lithium batteries IMO, doesn't make any sense. Generating hydrogen from excess power for grid scale generation actually does make sense. As power generation gets cheaper still and the "now" value of it also becomes less, I think it will make financial sense to locally "bank" energy in the form of hydrogen for versatile use during peak times where grids are overloaded with renewable energy (and wholesale price is 0 or negative which is common quite often in some networks).
A few problems with that:

* Couldn't a man identify as female, and then be in the perfect situation to find women in "less safe areas" who feel vulnerable?

* This would also allow men to request female drivers, are you sure that's a good thing?

* Only 14% of Uber drivers are female, so you might be waiting awhile for that ride...

In 2012 it was expected we'd be at $160/kWh by 2025[1]. Instead we're below that by 2019. I wouldn't be surprised if that $100/kWh by 2023 prediction from the source isn't too conservative.

I listened to a few, maybe up to four, then I couldn't take it anymore, the war fetish just got too high. I think I hit the stop button for good when he said on the podcast how he "only read a book if it was about war". Don't get me wrong, the idead of owning up to the results of your team is great, but the constant high-intensity, treat-everything-in-life-as-if-you're-in-combat-and-you-have-to-crush-it mood seems too one-sided a view of leadership to take.

Yep, there are very often "learning curves" that can be used to accurately predict price trends as manufacturing volume increase. The same thing has played out with solar cells and led to big price drops.

(Disclaimer: I work at Cliqz) Just read the article. It is from 2017 and very short. For the non-German speakers, I have to translate the relevant part:

About 1% of the Firefox downloads will contain the Cliqz Addon, which will show you search suggestions for websites while you type. For that, it uses browsing activities of all users.

The last "of all users" is important. Yes, our search is built on data collected from users, but the point is we cannot build profiles of single users; we are only seeing what the whole group of users does. I cannot stress that part enough. We are not Avast.

I can understand that you did not like the way that Mozilla rolled it out in 2017. I'm also not glad about how it went (my personal opinion). But from the technical side, I'm more than happy to take any question on that topic (how we collect data in Cliqz).
This is standard incumbent behaviour, it’s been happening forever. Any company that gets to a significant size or scale will behave in the same way, and that includes Sourcegraph, gitlab and anyone else.

Got any charger recommendations? :)

And yeah, the lithium AA/AAAs were news to me too. I learned about them when I got a headlamp that could either take 3 AAA batteries or a same-sized lithium battery with +/- contacts in the right places. I think the single-cell ones include a buck converter along with the charging circuit, which probably cuts down on the space they can devote to the battery itself.
I don't work in the industry and am not an expert, but I think a part of it in recent years is that lithium ion manufacturers have been figuring out how to get by with less cobalt in nickel-manganese-cobalt batteries.

If you read about 622 or 811 chemistries, those are the proportion of nickel, manganese, and cobalt. So, the older 622 batteries are 20% cobalt, and the newer 811 batteries are 10% cobalt. Manufacturers are trying to move to 5%, iirc.

(This doesn't apply to lithium iron phosphate, which doesn't use cobalt at all as far as I know.)
Hi all, this is Shanku Niyogi. I run the Product team at GitHub. I sincerely apologize for this post. We screwed up. This post was made in error, and we are retracting it. We are always looking to improve our programs for developers, and are working on improvements. But this is not the way to make changes. And it is NOT a goal to end our program. Sorry for the confusion.
None of the acquired companies were forced at gunpoint to sell to Github. Very few technology companies are created with the intention of being an ongoing profitable concern. If they are investor backed, almost by definition they are looking to be acquired. A statistical minuscule number of technology companies ever become profitable.
If you want to test your integration with GitLab Enterprise, they will give you a development license for free because they understand you are contributing positively to their ecosystem: https://about.gitlab.com/partners/integrate/#requesting-ee-d...

It used to be the same case with GitHub Enterprise, they would give you a development license to test your integration. After this, you will need to purchase a GHE license which is $2,500/yr (you must first go through their sales team).

Basically, this shuts out people from developing integrations that can be sold to other enterprises from what I understand.
> Systemd trieds to be project for distros to have a sane base system

Systemd tries to force a monolithic operating system to behave like a microkernel, and uses propaganda and manipulation to enforce whatever preference its designers have for how all systems should run onto all the Linux distributions it can.

McKinsey, Bain, BCG, et. al. are all extremely close to state and industry in all countries.

I'm from Norway, and every now and then someone will publish articles about the governments exorbitant use of consultants (McKinsey at that) for seemingly menial tasks which should be handled internally.

Truth is, these management consulting firms have some very good advantages to keep their business model going:

1) Their alma matter is spread all over the world, usually in the upper management.

2) They get highly detailed information from all sides, and can tweak their best practices accordingly.

3) They take the blame, so as others have mentioned, they're basically a million $ CYA insurance for both politicians and executes alike.

You could remove incentives like those mentioned, but I'm sure they'll find some other way to make money. They're so tightly integrated, and in so many places around the world, they probably have hundreds and thousands of strategies up their sleeves.
> This would also allow men to request female drivers, are you sure that's a good thing?

The OP explicitly mentioned women-asking-for-female drivers, and not implying the inverse. That type of program is not uncommon for safety.
That is very encouraging to hear. Did he propose the 3 month trial contract or you guys? I thought of offering such a thing but not sure if it seems too desperate. Thank you for your comment.
Patience is definitely key and most people who only speak one language have no patience for someone who partially knows their language to talk to them. I've been learning Spanish and traveling in Latin America and the only people I can successfully have actual conversations with in Spanish are ones who also know English because they seem to understand what it's like to have trouble expressing themselves. I'll speak in Spanish and they listen even though I'm slower than a normal person and I'll do the same if they talk back to me in English.

You quickly turn around and shoot an arrow into each orc's chest, killing them
instantly. You then run over to the campfire and stab yourself repeatedly in

Sticky headers make me feel claustrophobic, I don't know why. Regardless of my screen height (it could be a 30" monitor), it feels like something is "stuck" to my browser that wasn't before and makes me feel anxious.

Even without that feeling, sticky headers kill the feeling that I'm moving through a viewport of a webpage. It makes your website look like it's not of the "webpage" medium that I've been familiar with for 20 years. Humans have a very good eye for relative movement. The visual processing part of your brain considers movement much more contrasting than color. So a fixed header when you're scrolling at 1cm/second is visually equivalent to a big bar moving upward at 1cm/second while you're trying to read an article. It's hard not to pay attention to it. But navbars don't contain content, so they shouldn't steal attention from the page content.

How is that possible? As best as I can tell, your location is tracked at all times, the OS has telemetry built-in, and lots of telemetry data is going out with every app. Also how do you audit it?

Recognizing that also welcomes comparisons along other boundaries. Some racial minorities are over-represented in violent crime statistics. Without delving into biases potentially present in both your statistic and those, what would be the fundamental difference between allowing riders to filter by gender and allowing them to filter by race? Your argument seems like a justification for both.

I also don't know that sexual assault is the reason for segregated bathrooms and locker rooms. I was always under the impression that it was just a puritanical artifact from an older time. Unified bathrooms are becoming more popular; I am curious if that has had any impact on sexual assault rates.

But I prefer AMP over pretty much any news article or website.

As a developer, I can't trust operations nor my wider organisation to invest in making things run better.

This is proven by browsing the top 20 news websites in my country. All are slow, bloated, ad-riddled trash. Turning on an ad blocker helps, I've signed up and trialed just about any semi-reputable news sites in this country (AU) and none of them do anything to curb or make the experience any better.. Just "unlocks" more popular articles or reduces the TTL for me.
For a true turn-key solution you probably need the entire stack from sensors up to software. Intel's RealSense cameras (the T265 specifically) is probably the most reasonably priced option for a hobbyist with reasonable APIs. Visual and visual-inertial SLAM are not at a point where open-source packages are robust and easy to use with an arbitrary sensor stack and environment.

If you only have 2D motion and can spend more money or mess around with unsupported hardware (salvaged Neato vacuum) a laser rangefinder is also a decent option.
