Why not both? I’m temporarily in an area That regularly sustains pm2.5 levels the WHO considers dangerous at 24 hour exposure. I’d rather buy a cheap and effective air purifier and mask than change the entire population over to renewables and electronics.

Stormy Daniels may have some insight, but she's not exactly a scientist.

From Harvard Law School:

"Criminalization of prostitution in Sweden resulted in the shrinking of the prostitution market and the decline of human trafficking inflows. Cross-country comparisons of Sweden with Denmark (where prostitution is decriminalized) and Germany (expanded legalization of prostitution) are consistent with the quantitative analysis, showing that trafficking inflows decreased with criminalization and increased with legalization."

It seems there's ample data indicating that increasing the market for the sex trade increases the black market for it.

FYI - smoking, same. When less people smoke, there's a smaller black market. [2]

> My impression from reading that bio was, if I was superstitious, I'd think his ultimate fate was the answer to a lot of prayers.

If anything his ultimate fate was ridiculous luck if not for his own stupidity. Iirc, he had an extremely rare form of curable pancreatic cancer, but because of his own stupid choices he didn't survive it. Which strikes me as kind of fitting for a man like him.
That. Exactly.

Also, I disagree with the whole idea of "Don't Try" in context of many pursuits. Perhaps it applies to writing as described in the article, but a lot of stuff is worth doing because it creates value for others. That value is created only if we're successful. How can one engage in such activity without having the end goal as target?

IMO the best of both worlds is to have a good life by enjoying it as parent poster said (with games, reading, sports) and when possible putting all you have into trying to achieve your goals even if the possibility of success is remote. How would the Wright brothers achieve powered flight if they didn't try. It wouldn't happen organically as a side effect of their work.
Do you know why the United States put "no establishment of a religion" in the Constitution?

Because without it, you get holy wars. Eventually, the kind in which people die.

When a non-religious organization starts getting involved in religion, they run into similar problems. The best course of action is to stay out of it.

This page doesn't work for me and it doesn't show any errors...

Update: Firefox fixes it...
There is no silver bullet in the study, they explicitly call it just a “link”. The straw man is in your mind.
on one hand feminists claim men and woman are exactly the same , on the other hand you say here that a woman having sex with a man is "surrendering herself". So which one it is, just so we can start the discussion on the same page.

I don't know whether anybody have a right to anything, but what I do know is that the government enforce me to pay taxes to support a growing number of single mums who never had sex with me, they had sex with other people but from some reason I need to finance them instead of investing this money in my own children.

So I wonder, if you can force me to pay for female sexual escapades and their spawns and the exciting guys they had sex with because I "didn't put the effort and have unrealistic expectations", why can't I have an agreed upon transaction, where i pay directly the woman who have sex with me? It seems that the effort I put into generating enough taxes is happily taken by all those women via the government and law enforcement, for that I am attractive enough.

To be honest, I don't have much hope, today being an average white man who just go to work, share custody of his children and do all the regular duties is like being the worst criminal in the world, a person to be ridiculed and abused by all kind of interest groups.

So I have learned the lesson, I just move my business and money to second world countries where the western feminist/racist/agist cancer didn't hit yet. Nobody is going to get my tax money if they don't want to give anything back, just extorting me and then spitting in my face. I'd rather give my money to south east asian hookers for having a drink with me than to taxes falling into the hands of all those blood sucking critters. I vote for the most extreme right wing parties I can, not because I support their agenda but in spite, because I feel like I am being screwed up by everyone.

Jean-Baptiste Kempf's answer was perfect in that regard, you don't like it that way? Fork it, you have that freedom, or don't use the insiders' version, as far as I know, the public release doesn't have the offensive svastika-like Christmas hat.
This article is brushing a lot of stuff very fast. In reality there is much more to it:

1. You don't need to visit Facebook properties for them to link your activity to you. Unless you're a brand new user and they have never finger printed you...

2. Referrer might be in the pixel tracker, but there is way more to that, including product IDs, product costs, your stage in the funnel (have you Added to Cart but not Purchased?), product category, etc.

3. Everytime a Facebook owned property (or piece of: Like button, FB connect) is 'used' by a device you use, then you can be sure the relation between you and that Pixel call is made (ahem, improved).

Install the Chrome Extension Facebook Pixel Helper, and check what happens when you use an ecom site. You'll be amazed to see what is shared with Facebook (no PII though).
This is really condescending. I don’t like writing JavaScript, I find writing TypeScript ok.

I avoid both when possible but if the business needs some front end or someone else has chosen Node I’ll oblige, and I’ll be happier if it’s TypeScript.

Either way it’s not contributing to my resume in a meaningful way as a backend developer.
TS is definitely oversold. I like the typed function signatures, a little bit better autocompletion and some refactor support. Personally I also think typing can be fun. But it doesn't increase safety or productivity, and it comes with costs: build setup, having to import type, libs that have misleading types, having to cast when TS doesn't get it, etc.
The first party website can’t see the tracking cookie so now tracking is compartmentalized for every first party and there is no more tracking across sites. Quite a win.

Where Is My Mind? The rise and fall of the claustrum
The Phoenix Project is free today (Dec 19)
Because the medicalization of depression is a convenient way to avoid thinking about the fact that it is a prominent feature of the status quo, not some aberration. Pollution correlates with industrial manufacturing and warehouse work environments and crushing poverty that forces people to live in a manner consistent with economic efficiency rather than with human happiness and well-being. Long work hours and little money contribute to social isolation. Debt traps put people in situations in which they could not possibly ever claw their way out.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24121465

> A meta-analysis of pooled odds ratios showed a significant relationship between debt and mental disorder (OR=3.24), depression (OR=2.77), suicide completion (OR=7.9), suicide completion or attempt (OR=5.76), problem drinking (OR=2.68), drug dependence (OR=8.57), neurotic disorder (OR=3.21) and psychotic disorders (OR=4.03).

When are we going to start designing our economies around creating a healthy and enjoyable environment for humans to actually live in, and not arranging human lives around squeezing the greatest amount of economic efficiency out of them as possible? The way we make ourselves live is tantamount to animal abuse.

I think you're confusing MDMA and ecstasy. Most non-users think they're the same thing, when, in reality, they're like tea and Nestea: MDMA is the main component of XTC pills, but they often also have MDA, 2CB, amphetamine, methamphetamine, mephedrone and other components inside, which break through habitual users tolerance, but also significantly raise neurotoxicity and hangover. Pure crystal MDMA is much less toxic and often can surprise someone who used pills before by an almost complete lack of suicide Tuesday syndrome.
No need to look for them.

I was there just recently and you practically need to push them away. Even when I got an uber back to the hotel the driver tried to sell me weed, some kind of gas canisters with laughing gas or something, and a handful other similar shit.

Most names are gendered. Can I tell 100% that Jane is female from the name? Of course not, but then I can’t tell with certainty that someone who graduated in 2011 is ~30 either.

It’s fairly common in my experience for CVs from European candidates to have marital status/other family information (and often a photo!) on them. I don’t know why and I just ignore it.
You can do a png instead of a gif. It would be ~68 bytes instead of ~35 bytes. A webp image would actually be 1 byte smaller than the gif. So perhaps Google will move to that if Safari ever caves and supports it.

I really don't understand why I have to sign up on a service to transfer a file in 2019. Users will be more motivated to do any other thing after they have done what they came to the platform to do. This is one of the selling points for MiDrive Transfer.

Also, you can actually send via a link to others. So when you send a file via email, there is also a link you can send outside the email to another party to download the files

Please do not buy drugs from the street. Ask for a reliable dealer through a Dutch friend. Also either way always send the pills to a test lab if you have the time. They will tell you how much is in there so you know what you are taking and can dose accordingly. The infrastructure for safe usage is there; so use it!

The best way to help Africans is for Africans to help themselves in Africa first, then we can see how to help through investments in Africa.

All the "let's welcome immigrants" discourse might give warm feelings to some but it does not help solving the issues in the countries of origin, and it also creates social issues in the countries of destination.

I think it would be much more helpful to e.g. have more students programs whereby bright young people from these countries can get visas and scholarships to study and get a professional experience in Europe with the hard requirement that they must then return to their home countries afterwards.

Fwiw programming windows by Petzold through the 5th edition covers native Windows development through Windows XP.

The sixth edition on words begins to use the. Net CLR and other non-native toolchains as Microsoft changed them. So, those are less valuable to me.

If you want to do native Windows development, that is probably the single best book you could buy.

A swastika is an established religious symbol btw. Yeah I know in the West it has unfortunately developed a more unsavory meaning.

It’s almost like people should evaluate the context of a symbol, be it a swastika or Santa hat, before deciding to be outraged but it would be a true Christmas miracle if that ever happened.
Sounds like sarcasm and snark, but even so "decorations", "easter eggs" and/or "holiday" is sufficient to convey what would be enabled/disabled.

And he's not even talking about software bloat. The word processor I have on my early 90's Powerbook is more responsive, generally faster to use, than my current one running on a Core 2 duo processor. Oh, and by the way, I was once complaining about this to a friend who's in IT, and he told me how the speed in which a software runs doesn't mean anything regarding its quality. What I mean is, I was telling him how bad some new software was because it was quite slower than one 10 years older which did the same thing, and he tolde me that, in software engineering, this (speed) is never a measure of a program's quality. Is this universally accepted? Speed and responsiveness are not taken into account? I always meant to ask other people in this field, but always forgot.
I agree that depression is a serious and systemic problem, but I don't see why that invalidates medical inquiry into physical causes as well. We can study a problem from multiple angles, because we're merely trying to understand better. Everything you said about depression is bad, and 24/7 smog is also a bad thing which may lead to depression, one does not preclude the other from being factual.
So can you describe the harm you see it does? I don't see it around me, having friends who have done it a lot when younger.

What I do see is MDMA being more and more accepted as a therapeutic tool, given further studies will confirm what the research has told us until now.

The definition of "a conscious experience" is so vague and circular that I'm not sure the question of "whether an X can have conscious experience" (where X is computer, dog, fish, human infant...) is even all that meaningful.

Either way we certainly don't have any indication that it is impossible in principle for a Turing machine to perform the same kind of calculation that gives rise to conscious experience in humans, or that this calculation would for some (supernatural?) reason not have the same outcome if performed by something other than a human brain.
If you block third party cookies without having built out fingerprinting prevention, trackers switch from cookies to fingerprinting, which on balance is probably worse. And if you prevent that, sites need to serve ads without any information about the user they're serving them to, and make about half as much money.

Chrome is working on fingerprinting resistance and developing privacy preserving APIs that can replace third party cookies: https://www.chromium.org/Home/chromium-privacy/privacy-sandb... https://blog.chromium.org/2019/08/potential-uses-for-privacy... https://www.blog.google/products/chrome/building-a-more-priv...

Very true. I suppose I worded my earlier comment poorly. You can generally infer age and gender from one's name and education dates (of course, not always).

Would it be unethical to provide a free filter that takes out all particles, then re-adds one specific pollutant back into the air at the exact same level?

On the one hand, the machine is specifically administering the pollutant to humans; on the other, without the device they'd be getting the exact same and worse.. I'd say yes if offered that for my house and it could help research.

Ask HN: How do you use Windows as your primary development environment?
Due to a strange (probably) hardware bug, I am not able to use a Linux system anymore on my laptop. Now my Dell laptop's warranty only includes Windows, therefore I'm looking to use Windows for a month or so to see if it displays any strange behavior.

"Last quarter, nearly all of the company’s $40.5 billion in revenue came from advertising. Meanwhile, a collection of newer businesses that Alphabet lumps together as “other bets” in its financial statements, including the self-driving car unit Waymo, generated a mere $155 million in revenue while incurring operating losses of nearly $1 billion."

This is purposefully misleading.

From the Q3 2019 10-Q:

Other revenue: 6.4B

"Google other revenues consist primarily of revenues from: Apps, in-app purchases, and digital content in the Google Play store; Google Cloud offerings; Hardware; and YouTube subscriptions."

"Other revenues" is up nearly 40% q/q compared to Q3 2018:

"Our Google other revenues increased $1,788 million and $4,639 million from the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively. The growth was primarily driven by revenues from Google Cloud offerings as well as revenues from Google Play, largely relating to in-app purchases (revenues which we recognize net of payout to developers)."
