You still need to make a clean line at the back and do around the ears. If you don't it looks really sloppy. Definitely something you can learn, but it's not as easy as just running the buzzer over your head.

If you want to get your moneys worth for a buzz at the barber ask them to fade or taper it.

To be honest we've never even had a conversation around advertising - so the answer would be no. It's not really something we'd associate with B2B applications.

Our monetisation plan is simple. We plan to sell what we are calling "market vertical" applications on top of our core platform.

The app in the app store which is great for small teams and pilots.

When you move to large scale deployments for a particular use case e.g. tracking inventory across 10,000's of stores the software needs to look very different. You need reporting, alerts, business rules, access control levels e.t.c Here we plan on selling labels as close to cost as we can and monetise the Enterprise software on a subscription basis.

To be honest, login forms should take both username and e-mail as the user identifier, far too often they don't. I personally think that the only place where such a regex should exist is during sign-up.
Aha. And so here we are, watching something we thought was steadfast float slowly out to sea. The ability to let people say shitty things without trying to shut them up is one more thing we need trust for.

(For example, we need to be able to trust that they have a sincere opinion and aren't paid shills for a corporate lobby on a PR mission to waste our time, emotional energy, column-inches, and attention.)

If you feel a growing sense of dread as it retreats, it's a good time to consider whether you know others who have expressed a similar sense of dread that other things in our world have come unmoored, and whether they could use some help keeping them tied down.
One thing I don't get is Mother Jones excludes shootings that result from domestic violence, drug deals and gang activity.
The company I used to work for not only didn't provide stock options or RSUs or (that I can recall) an ESPP for ordinary employees, they eventually took the choice to invest in company stock away from the 401k plan, because they decided it would encourage people to not diversify and they might be considered liable.

I remember when the CEO visited, and while she clearly didn't know that our division existed, the things she talked about highlighted how little we knew of the rest of the company. You have something with tens of thousands of employees, and you have probably quite a few groups of a few hundred people that just have no particular connection to the rest of the company. In our case, we started as an acquisition that was kind of forgotten about.
Barely. If you look at it it is clearly just what its name says: a lowercase medial s combined with a lowercase z. The uppercase version exists, as a parallel commentator noted, basically as a typographic utility.

Fraktur had/has other such lower case ligatures (tz, ch, sch, ss (not ß) et al) but for some reason only ß survived into Latin script as a full fledged letter. I have a lot of old (mostly 20th century) books in Fraktur and they all use these ligatures more consistently than the Latin ligatures are used.
I was thinking that. Unicode is great for presenting text to users but for file names, email addresses, code and the like ASCII has a lot going for it.
On the grand scale, sure. That's the conclusion you'd reach if you average all the empty land in the U.S. where absolutely no one lives. But just like europe there are dense places in the U.S.

Much of the U.S. and many suburbs were developed with streetcars in mind that were later removed in favor of private car ownership.
> Correct me if I am wrong but freelancing sites like Upwork, Fiverr, Toptal, and YC's own Gigster won't be affected. The sites only setup contractors with businesses on a project by project basis and meant to be temporary from the outset.

This is incorrect. These companies do not simply set up contracts between companies and walk away and they aren't necessarily project based (especially for Upwork and Toptal). Nor are the contracts necessarily short term (some go on for years). These companies collect payments on behalf of the freelancers that work underneath them and some take an undisclosed percentage or added cut on top. I'm a member of Upwork, Toptal and Gigster, so I'm basing this off my actual experience.

Reviewing AB5's ABC test, I see nothing that prevents these companies from failing at least one if not all the provisions (you need to be compliant in all 3):

1. the worker is free from the control and direction of the hirer in connection with the performance of the work, both under the contract for the performance of such work and in fact

2. the worker performs work that is outside the usual course of the hiring entity's business

3. the worker is customarily engaged in an independently established trade, occupation, or business of the same nature as the work performed for the hiring entity

> Also many freelancers already have LLCs or business so this is business level contracting corp to corp on these sites.

This is not necessarily the case. I definitely didn't have an LLC when I started freelancing. It costs $800/year in California and doesn't offer much benefit to a freelancer.

Edit:
It looks like in the case of Upwork, they're using the "professional services" exemption from AB5 and offering to W2 workers like a staffing agency:

> And if you look at the text of the law there's various mentions about -- around professional services being excluded. So that's one component of it. The second component of it is the fact that we actually also are payrolling services. So we would -- we call it freelancing but some of the work in Upwork is under a 1099 some of the work on Upwork is done through a W-2. Through our product offering we have called Upwork Payroll.

Likely the ones that are on the bandwagon early.

To be even more specific, in the early days now, the main allure of wasm is performance. So the focus will be on languages and toolchains capable of generating optimized native code. Out of those, look at which ones are easy for the developer to set up (both in general, and for wasm) on all popular developer OSes.

So, I'd say that Rust will probably be the biggest beneficiary.
Consider yourself collateral damage- just like full-time employees were when companies decided to hire ICs and not pay them benefits.

The real problem unfortunately lies in the fact that the Govt decided the best way to provide people benefits was through the employer.
At least in the UK, this is already the case. Most of my orders are delivered by a delivery company that only handles Amazon packages.

Every worker should have those basic protections. There are some people who are fortunate like this writer to have a real job and do not need their part-time gig. But there are way more people who could benefit from those protections.

I'm a software engineer so I'm already pretty fortunate. Should we change laws so that we somehow hire more engrs, maybe pay less employment taxes or some such thing? Probably not. And there are plenty of people even in software engineering who lose their jobs and can't find another one for whatever reason, they'd benefit from stronger workplace protections. Workplace protections are a good idea, just like higher minimum wages; it's because raising the minimum bar is better because it helps those at the bottom.

Even if a privileged person could take on a part-time passion project and now they can't.

>With less demand for actual TVs, there’s less reason for manufacturers to price them even more highly.

I don't buy this reasoning. Tablets and phones supposedly replaced laptops and desktops (or so I've heard), yet the prices for those hasn't really budged in the past couple of decades.

>But the most interesting and telling reason for why TVs are now so cheap is because TV manufacturers have found a new revenue stream: advertising.

How big can the subsidy possibly be? If Facebook's average revenue per user is $25/year, and a TV lasts 5 years, that's at most $125 of subsidy per TV. It's probably order of magnitudes lower if you factor in costs for running the advertising platform, that you really can't show that many ads as Facebook (it can show a sponsored story every few stories, TV producers can't inject an ad every few minutes), and probably have worse targeting.

So here's the thing. When you display a word written entirely in Cyrillic characters, it would be wrong for it not to display as normal text.

But when you display a word that contains eight Latin characters and one Cyrillic character, couldn't the display create some sort of warning? Highlight the section-mismatched character with a box? It's not normal in any language to mix alphabets.
The vast majority of gun violence of all types, suicides, gang murders, mass shootings, domestic violence etc. are committed with hand guns. Hand gun ownership popularity is at a high in the US across many demographics.

But assault rifle bans are the most popular form of gun control, probably because of the popularity of hand guns.

Sure, let use the DEA to enforce that law since they are already experts at persecuting victims.

String matching is inherently fuzzy. I haven't tested it, but I think a dropdown box to select your account would be best. This would also help with other normalizations (accents, spaces), and even typos if user enumeration is not a problem.

I put abuse detection system in the same category as tests, it gets a free pass on most cleanliness requirements.

The typed strings pattern is a great one. In this case you could go as far as having a RegisteredEmail types, and requiring that in your MailerHelper.
From what I've picked up, creating Domain-Specific Languages is one of the Lisp family's strong points. Whether its a good thing or a bad thing is another matter.
I find it strange that they claim that QM lacks any explanation for measurement.

There are explanations for measurement. Not everyone agrees with any single one of them, but they definitely exist. Superdeterminism is one, but it's not the only one. It is really only the Copenhagen Interpretation of QM that has a measurement problem.

Personally, I am on board with the "measurement is just entanglement" solution (it seems intuitively obvious to me, but then I'm sure superdeterminism seems intuitively obvious to those who believe in it as well), which makes superdeterminism unnecessary.

The architecture described here is pretty simple. The article states the fix was 20 lines of code. If this is the hardest problem you have to solve at work, I envy you.
And those same people fail to realize the fact that they are moving at all in their car in traffic is thanks to those 50 people crammed in the bus in the next lane. Could you imagine if the million people who take LA metro daily suddenly switched to cars? The city would functionally break.
By this logic: A large portion of roads are low-demand and have few drivers. Why do my taxes subsidize the upkeep of those roads, and not just the major highways?

Low-demand, niche routes are necessary for a public transit system to work for its users. Sure, 80% of my trips might be on 2 or 3 routes. But without access to the handful of routes I ride the other 20% of the time, the system wouldn’t work for me, and I’d need a car to get around.

For example: when I take the bus later than ~9pm, I’m often one of just a few people riding it. But knowing I have the option to take the bus late at night is critical to the system feeling reliable. This allows me to live without a car.

Hopefully, this effect reduces congestion in my city, as more people are enabled to live low-car or car-free.

Usability is not the only thing that affects adoption. I'd wager a pretty large chunk of that 95% doesn't even know what Linux is. It also doesn't matter how usable Linux is when you can't go into a store and buy a PC with it preinstalled (although that probably falls under the umbrella of "usability" for many).

When people tell you the Constitution is clear about gun ownership and that it’s settled, they are lying.
I think the poster is saying they don't like that some people conflate gun deaths with gun murders and use that as a justification for gun control.

Wouldn't having the email hashed prevent this? Not sure why email addresses are stored plain text still. Especially if they are stored in databases.
Read the title again. It's not about Noida.
Feeder lines are important. If they didn't have low demand lines to far flung areas, those people who take advantage of these lines would have to use cars and contribute to traffic by the time they get to the city core with everyone else.

Demand predictions are pretty robust these days. Civil engineering is an entire science.
>probably because of the popularity of hand guns.

I think it's more that most of those advocating for these rifle bans have limited or no experience with any firearm, let a lone rifles. Most of these things just look scary to people who are unfamiliar with them, even though they'd be functionally equivalent to rifles with wooden stocks and wooden foregrips.

Edit: clarifying word
Clojure best-practices warn against using macros when a function would do. It tends to complicate debugging and maintainability. However, macros are very powerful, and when they are the right tool for the job they can create magic and afford new ways of looking at a problem.

On the other end of the spectrum, Racket[0] fully embraces the DSL-creating power of macros.

To answer your question: I think that lisp's extensibility can be used to create something difficult to share/understand OR easier to share/understand [1]. Whereas some other languages might be limited by their ability to naturally express a domain-fitted solution, yet they make it easier to avoid creating a cryptic mess. So... lisps don't confuse people, people do.

[1] - a good example of macro use is Compojure's use of a macro for http route definitions. https://github.com/weavejester/compojure#usage

So at best you can special case for those "major hosts" and not apply such treatment to any other domain.

The RFCs for email don't say "uhh dude whatever, just check what gmail does and maybe hotmail too lol". You are playing fast and loose with these things.
That just sounds punitive. The goal here is to deter ransoms and ultimately reduce the incentive for ransomware, not to be punitive.

Looks interesting but needs a few more language libraries to demonstrate broader utility outside of just Ruby projects.

Building on top of generic Postgres using a simple service is pretty neat but without the extra client libraries it’s hard to see a bright future.

The npm module doesn’t look like it actually does anything besides unzip and run the dB setup code at the moment so it’s definitely early days for them. But with a few basic client libraries that can actually do the work of publishing and subscribing to messages, this will be a pretty neat tool.

I’m going to have to watch how this develops.
He almost definitely has many copies of that shirt and isn't just wearing the exact same shirt every day. Just like Zuckerberg, who was showing off his wardrobe consisting of a bunch of t-shirts that are exactly the same.

No one should have issues with people dressing similarly every day. But wearing the exact same shirt literally every single day without washing it every day becomes noticeable really quickly for hygienic reasons, and that's the part that makes it problematic.

Cash crops use something known as hybrid vigor (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heterosis) which breeds together two distinct, albeit mediocre, blends into a single offspring that is sort of like a super plant. The catch though is that it only works for a single generation, and if you were to replant the crop's offspring you would end up with a highly undesirable crop. For this reason, almost no farmers replant using their harvest. This pre-dates the use of GMO seeds.

Every summer in the midwest you get armies of workers who do something called 'detasseling' where you walk through the seed fields and rip off the male genetalia of one of the two breeds, which forces the seeds to be pollinated in a specific way. The result is the seeds that are used to plant next years crop.

You could say a similar thing about car accidents. Does that make car accidents a disease?
Probably because those shootings are probably in high gun control areas like Chicago, NJ, CA where laws are strictest, so it shows that gun control doesn't really work to stop those, and those deaths are usually the result overwhelmingly of handguns, not AR-15's or "assault style rifles" which are just semi-automatic rifles that look militaristic and no one would freak out about if they had wooden stocks. In this case, the numbers don't help their agenda.

The most effective forms of gun control should be focused on guns used in the majority of crime, which are handguns, but that's not the discussion that's being had because the gun debate is media driven, which is centered around mass shootings (greater shock factor, better ratings), which statistically are the rarest and of least concern by numbers (I think gun death/homicides by rifle < 300 even including mass shootings). https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-41488081

AR-15s are also very popular because they're a platform you can take an AR-15 lower, and or buy a cheap one and build up slowly over time until you have a very nice and accurate rifle. They look militaristic because their metal exterior but when people say they're identical functionally to hunting rifles, they're not lying when it comes to the part that handles firing the bullet.

I'll also leave people with this:

What's it made of, wheat? Does it look like wheat? No? Then it's been ground up and reformed. And there's a bunch of other ingredients, but the grinding is the major culprit. It's basically predigested, and slams glucose into your blood quickly, over time promoting insulin resistance, eventually wearing out your pancreas.

Less processed food requires your body to spend time and energy breaking it down.

Bread is the same, it's ground and reformed grain. It doesn't matter if it's organic, or "whole grain," or Famous Dave's, it's still ground grain.
Nobody needs kale or skateboards either. There are other vegetables and personal transportation available. Why not tax them to "what the market will bear"? What does that even mean? If kale consumption drops by 5% is the market "bearing"? 50%? 98%? Why don't we just tax everything except your favorite things to buy?
