The actual driving style (distracted but polite to a fault and painstakingly low-key) I experienced in a week of driving as a European tourist tells yet another story:

Americans want big engines so that they get moderate acceleration at the semi-idle throttle levels that allow their automatic transmission to stay in the quiet low rev range. Never saw anything in terms of "taking off" that could not have been handled by an engine half the size at full throttle on manual in high gear/low rev (most economic way to drive a given ICE) or by an engine quarter the size driven at low gear, high rev (most economic way to reach a given performance level of you can size the engine to fit).

Perhaps I was at the wrong coast?
There is a sort of proto community. A community that wants to be, but isn't because nobody started doing that yet.

The point of it of course is that, if such a proto community doesn't exist, its going to be very difficult for a community to grow.
Do you mean you were there as an independent contractor or something or did you actually get hired and then quit that fast due to how unbearable it was?

I'm surprised to hear about how awful the situation in the company is, never realized Samsung was quite that bad. Really disheartening, especially since I'm a big fan of their devices as a mass-produced option. Might look into some alternatives now.
Coverage of the case is here: https://frontpageconfidential.com/category/backpage/

The fed's argument is that there was so much illegal prostitution activity on Backpage that the owners must have been supporting it. The defense is currently occupied with getting access to the servers, presumably to show that the frequency of illegal postings was small compared to the rest of the site and that all reported postings were acted on immediately.

It's good to be skeptical and not jumping into conclusion right away, but there is another option other than yes and no, which is "not sure", or I need more time to discuss/research/learn

so I can said that this is just another arrogant French reason to justify the rude behaviour

Some responded to this with humour:

I guess encrypt isn’t really the right word but I was imagining something similar to how you can program autocorrect and autocomplete on the iPhone. So when I log go to gmail.com and go to the password box I’d type “gmailP@ssword” (and presumably any keyloggers on my machine would capture gmailP@ssword) and then the computer would correct it to the real password.

But like I said, I know nothing about the computer magic behind my keystrokes.

Drew (Or sircmpwn? Sorry I don't know how you prefer to be called) since I know you're on here, if I may ask:

- What provider are you using?

- Is it VoLTE that is working, or does it drop down to 3g for calls?

- Does SMS work in LTE mode or do you have to drop it down to 3g?

I have a Librem 5 birch, and from my experience in rolling my own Android AOSP version, that to get T-mobile to work with VoLTE, SMS/MMS with LTE, or WiFi Calling, you have to install proprietary blobs.

EDIT: I should add the Librem 5 Birch has LTE data on T-mobile, but I have to drop to 3G to get SMS and phone call functionality, and MMS is additionally non-functional at all on T-Mobile. Meant to post that for the Librem 5.
Looks pretty sweet, the review is encouraging. It is nice to see no blogs, very nice. I ordered the Braveheart edition, the moment they were available.

> In reality I was given only a single coding interview my whole onsite, and it was to build a JavaScript SPA, including routing/linking, without the use of any framework, just vanilla JS.

OK but that's like 4 lines of code:

Line 1: Get the URL of the current page

Line 2: Get the path part of the URL

Line 3: Using the path as a key, retrieve some chunk of text from an object

Line 4: Write that chunk of text to the DOM

I wouldn't know the syntax for any of that without googling, but that doesn't seem excessively crazy even as a question for someone who doesn't know the language.
Is this alert appearing multiple times for every app on the system, or just for Terminal and only once ever?

> In orthodox Buddhism, like that in Sri Lanka, the path to understanding Buddhism is uncontroversial, difficult but uncontroversial.

After reading the memoirs of Bhante Henepola Gunaratana (the author of Mindfulness in Plain English) I get the impression that Sri Lankan Buddhism was degraded into pointless rote learning and empty rituals. When Bhante G. became a monk in 1940's monks didn't even practice meditation.

When religion becomes so ingrained into culture like it has in Asia, it seems that it becomes just empty conservative power structure, not different form Catholic Church in the west.

Sri Lanka and Burma have supremacist monks who advocate hate. Western Buddhists go to Burma and Asia to train with those few meditation teachers who know their stuff and learn from them while most Asians just see Buddhism as cultural tradition.

There is a debate as to whether or not legalizing prostitution exacerbates sex slavery by creating a market for prostitution that willing market participants are unable to fill. This author[1] points out that studies on this question use the term "sex trafficking" which can mean either illegal immigration of willing sex workers or sex slavery. That distinction seems important, but is often not clarified by investigators.

I think this issue is vexing because there are so many groups with different compelling reasons to favor or oppose prohibition. The below list is obviously a gross over-simplification, but I think it captures the largest forces in the debate.

FOR: Men.
Men would benefit from legalization in the obvious way.

AGAINST: Women.
Women stand to lose if their partners are tempted by legal prostitution.

FOR: Sex workers.
Sex workers would benefit in the obvious way.

AGAINST: Religious groups.
They lost the battle against pornography, but they're winning this one.

AGAINST: Feminists.
Not all feminists, but many feminists believe sex work is exploitation by definition. [2]

Each group has powerful motivations completely independent from the effect of legalization on sex slavery.

In my experience, OpenShift is awesome, once you know it. Now that I know OpenShift I can deploy a simple app in minutes (as long as the cluster itself is setup), including externally facing routes. It makes standing up new services almost trivial. There are also enormous benefits for performance, security, and scalability of a micro-service ecosystem or SOA.

But, there's a lot of abstraction over a traditional server, so for simple cases where you only need one instance it is definitely overkill. If you don't know OpenShift/Kubernetes then that is a lot to learn.

If the problem is rejection of "perfectly good articles", why start by arguing there's no grounds for deleting bad articles? Seems like dancing around the point.

Hey Tom Cruise, What the Hell?
Nobody claims that Turing machines in particular are well-suited to the task. What we claim is something more open-ended: Turing-complete languages can simulate each other given a universal encoding (a program we typically call an "emulator") and the simulation is only polynomially slower and larger.

To the details: We don't want just one tape on the Turing machine. It's fine but slow, like using unary Church numerals instead of binary Cantor numerals. We usually assume at least two tapes. Similarly, we often ignore tapes and use a random-access memory instead.

Edit: I guess that this is how we're talking today? From the article:

> It is common to summarize CCTM through the slogan “the mind is a Turing machine”. This slogan is also somewhat misleading, because no one regards Turing’s precise formalism as a plausible model of mental activity. The formalism seems too restrictive in several ways.

The article then lists senses, finite memory, concurrency, and determinism as four ways in which the brain might differ from idealized Turing machines.
dang does a great job of moderating this forum, but to analogize him as having had built this community is a bit extreme, methinks.

>More specificity in complaints typically yields a better response.

well that's exactly why people are complaining about dangs' comment. it's basically a very generic "everything here is low quality. do better." statement with little direction as to what must be corrected.

With no direction on how to improve, but with confirmation that what they're doing is wrong, people tend to get worse.

Pointing to the rules, and then calling discussion 'shallow' isn't my idea of moderation. It's a critique. Not one I disagree with necessarily, but one that I believe is nearly pointless from a moderation standpoint. It teaches nothing, gives no example of positive behaviour, and discourages people from discourse all together -- how are they to know if what they post is worth while? Should they risk reprimand to try and be thoughtful? Maybe not.

'Do better.' as life-coaching advice has never worked.

We need 'Do better X because Y is bad.', complete with examples, rather than aloof judgements.
" lack of deference to authority,"

From my observation this maybe applies to politics or government but there is a lot of deference to authority within corporations. People often seem to feel they have no rights there.

I hate to temper your excitement a little bit (I am excited too!), but I am not a bit surprised that LTE data works. Calling and SMS/MMS over LTE (for T-Mobile USA) are two things that at least that as of today, you need proprietary libraries to have it function on Android, and likely don't work on the Pinephone. I strongly suspect that other USA carriers will have the same issue (I say that because there are additionally several proprietary Verizon and Sprint blobs that are resident in factory images that need to be put in third party ROMs).

The Librem 5 has LTE mobile data as well, but it has those same issues (no VoLTE, SMS only over 3g, no MMS for T-Mobile USA). I am hopeful that between Purism and the Pinephone community that this is a solvable (but lengthy) issue.
You'd think that we might have learned by now that if you try to vigorously suppress something that people want, this sort of thing happens.

And that in turn reminds me of the obscure zig-zaggy convoluted shapes in molecular biology: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B_zD3NxSsD8

These are also born out of an evolutionary optimisation process, and probably has a form that is intrinsically linked to its function - we just haven't remotely uncovered yet.

Continuing this line of thought and i am reminded of steganography, hiding complexity in simplicity or objects with several functions. Also encoding by moving things in relation to each other and the mysterious field of emergence. Especially in biology where complexity or patterns can emerge seemingly from nowhere and hide properties that has to do with relations between points instead of the points themselves.

>Historical reasons mostly, but also fantasy is a lot easier. You don't have to pretend to be realistic.

I know what you mean to say but good fantasy tries as hard to be "realistic" (in terms of plausibility and internal consistency) as good science fiction.

Although in terms of providing recognizable game mechanics that resonate with a genre, fantasy is definitely easier thanks to the influence of D&D.

Again, the above view is the government line and is meant to misguide and create ambiguity. Read the CAA in combination with the NRC to understand how it is similar to the Nuremberg laws.

All Fines are bribes; the entire concept of a fine in of itself is fundementally a corruption of the law.

If you want to stay pro-business, sentancing the executive management to public service, or probation, or anti-corruption workshops like they do for those with DUI works fine for me. I'm all for a 3 strikes program. First strike, you pay for the workshop and pass or get probation. Second strike you're on probation and if you don't like it, go to jail. Third strike, you're a felon.
As someone who spent over a decade in the adult industry BackPage was extremely responsible. They had a staff of 70 people dedicated to reporting suspicious ads to police. They were the #1 source of trafficking tips.

Another socially responsible escort ad site was owned by a woman (former sex worker) and was forced to sell to a very shady eastern european gentlemen who is referred to as the trafficking king of europe. She sold because she didn’t want to go to jail.
I think this is mainly down to US cities (and Toronto because ??!) still seeing Car2Go as a revenue opportunity, rather than a way to reduce congestion and allow people to get occasional car mobility.

However, Car2Go was a luxury option. Far more expensive than CommuneAuto. Hard to see it as anything but a convenience for rich urban yuppies.

I'm very enthusiastic about this device and have ordered the Brave Heart addition. I really like the price point of $150. It makes it pretty easy for casual developers to pick one up and should aid with getting new software written for it.

I'm sure the Librem 5 is also very nice, but it's higher price makes it much less accessible.
ZFC has very little to do with why math is used in universities or the sciences, and it would still be used even without it, because as you said, it works. It worked for 3000 years before we had ZFC after all.

ZFC wasn’t even the end of the debate on mathematical foundations even in math. There are a lot of people trying to redo everything with types and category theory today.
Milton supported the English Commonwealth under Oliver Cromwell which ended up executing the king. But then the Commonwealth came apart and the Stuart monarchy was restored, putting Milton on the political outs. Many others who had supported the Revolution were executed when the new king came into power, but somehow Milton survived on the margins.

The Hackett Classics edition of Paradise Lost does a good job explaining all of this in the introduction as well as the footnotes: https://www.amazon.com/Paradise-Lost-Hackett-Classics-Milton...

Paradise Lost is one of the most beautiful poems in the English language. It takes a bit of getting used to before you can read Milton fluently (he structures his sentences in unusual ways sometimes to accommodate the meter) but after a few pages you'll begin to grasp what a monumental achievement it is. It's a shame it's not more widely appreciated, especially as its themes transcend mere retelling of the biblical story and enter on universal human concerns.

A Santa hat is not a cross. Santa is not Jesus.

The logical implications of this are that nothing can be celebrated as that celebration is sure to offend / exclude someone. Where do you draw the line. In an age of infinite internet outrage everything is going to be offensive to someone.

Is it now Microsoft's position that a Santa hat is as offensive a hate symbol as a swastika? The issue directly states as much.

This issue ticket grossly cheapens the truly heinous actions of the National Socialist German Workers' Party. It trivializes their offenses equating their symbols and actions with the those of a children's celebration enjoyed by and estimated 45% of the entire world.
This is flat out wrong.

As far as I know the problem here in Germany is legalization.

They could simply have decriminalized prostitution and leave procuration illegal, but no, they had to throw around with laws to make the live of sex-workers harder.

the reason, backpage was shut down is that the gvt couldn't get a cut. and like all activities that are morally, grey. once the gvt stops getting their cut, they will scoop in. it's just the same, way the mafia is allowed to operate unions etc and once they ruffle feathers and stop contributing to politicians then all of a sudden the mafia is running a racket. Yet the gvt runs the biggest racket, protection scheme. so yeah, now all the SW are back on the streets or in the hands of pimps. Also the backpage era, due to supply and demand markets efficiencies, seems SW had become a safe sustainable, decent livelihood for many.

On some occasions I would love to have articles about open source projects that are written in the high quality and non-point-of-view tone that Wikipedia encourages. A project's own API docs are obviously going to be a better source for, well, the API, but a blunt description of what a project is is something Wikipedia can definitely provide, and I don't see why they don't.

I certainly use Wikipedia to understand what various companies are. There are companies whose own websites seem deliberately designed to obfuscate what the company is. I don't see why Wikipedia couldn't provide the same benefit for open source projects.
It’s fairly straight forward, Republicans have traditionally been anti gun control. But when push came to shove they abandoned that position when it meant allowing black men to be armed.

That said the GOP was much less strident in their gun worship back then generally.
Understand, I'm just copying and pasting from Wikipedia here, but:

"Although the term "lipid" is sometimes used as a synonym for fats, fats are a subgroup of lipids called triglycerides"

It looks like sometimes people refer to triglycerides and cholesterol together as "fat", and other times say triglycerides in particular are "fat".
