Unfortunately, that kind of conspiracy theory isn't just reserved for isolated nutjobs. Trying to remain neutral about it, it is either the case that tens of millions of Americans believe in a conspiracy of scientists to promulgate a hoax about the climate, or tens of millions of Americans believe in a conspiracy of business interests to hide the reality of climate change.

That's not an ordinary difference of political opinion. One side or the other is engaging in conspiracy-theory thinking, at a vast level. (Or, I suppose, both.) I don't just mean that they're talking about a conspiracy, but applying all the hallmarks of paranoia, shifting goalposts, and bad faith that mark conspiracy theorists.

And that's just one example. It applies down the line, of many issues. This is the one that perhaps illustrates it best, but it's not mere partisanship. It's people needing to be "brought back to earth", as you said, but at a level involving many millions of people.

Neither race nor sex are beliefs, so that wouldn't be in contradiction to the comment you're replying to.

I have no opinion on whether Mormons are racist, sexist, or tolerant of different beliefs. My limited experience with them suggests that they're easy-going and work hard, that's about all I've got.
I'm a bit of a noob so hang with me here.

So you install it as a dev dependency via npm.

So is it running ... with the client app as a proxy between the client application and just waiting for the API requests and taking those responding?

Is it possible to configure some delay in responses?

I can give an example from the New York Times relating to the Iraq War, I took it from wikipedia [1]:

In the buildup to the 2003 war, the New York Times published a number of stories claiming to prove that Iraq possessed WMD. One story in particular, written by Judith Miller, helped persuade the American public that Iraq had WMD: in September 2002 she wrote about an intercepted shipment of aluminum tubes which the NYT said were to be used to develop nuclear material.[83] It is now generally understood that they were not intended (or well suited) for that purpose but rather for artillery rockets.[84] The story was followed up with television appearances by Colin Powell, Donald Rumsfeld and Condoleezza Rice all pointing to the story as part of the basis for taking military action against Iraq.

What happened, if I may ask? I use both enom and google...so, I am curious...
I’ve seen this attempted before to operate success, but this is the best execution I have seen of this idea!

It’s dynamically rough so it’s different each time, but it’s not over done
Well that would certainly explain why I haven't seen these ads - I pay for G-suite.

Nonetheless, I find this to be heinous. Practically the same as Google vouching for spam emails, pushing them directly into your inbox.
I'm hoping the recent CenturyLink/Minnesota situation gets more scrutiny over telecom bills. You may find this to be relevant [0]. I work in telecom and CTL is one of our vendor partners, I feel like I'm on the phone with them at least twice a week raising flags about billing statements.

I’d prefer people working on making existing alternatives better in terms of features than have yet another “Facebook killer” that doesn’t survive. Check out the Fediverse, help the alternatives for Instagram and Twitter thrive. If you want to create something independently, I’d suggest a perfect replica and replacement for Facebook Groups. We need what’s not yet supported by the current crop of FOSS alternatives and keeps people tied to Facebook.
The integrated repl and inline results in lighttable were the best! Sad that it was abandoned.

The best choice today for a similar experience is Chlorine(https://atom.io/packages/chlorine) which is built on top of Atom. It also uses the built in clojure socket repl, not the complex nrepl.

Calva does it's best to show some data inline, but unfortunately vs-code doesn't support displaying inline results https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/3220
Here on HN there's a regular argument for trains as an alternative to cars. Seeing how I end up using the train once in a while, I'm always bothered by the lack of cleanliness of public trains and how people come and go, touch things, leave crumbs, etc., and then I have to sit and touch those very places. Planes vs cars is not really a debate, as certainly for many destinations cars don't make sense.
You seem to be suggesting that the answer is Obama (false). Look at yourself, you are justifying mass detention and the punitive separation of children from their families.
I have not worked there. It is what I hear from other people's experience. Of course it will vary between teams, but the reputation is still low and attrition rate very high.
That's kind of what Handshake.org is trying to do, although instead of forking existing TLDs Handshake lets people register their own TLDs outside of the 1500 TLDs the ICANN has already provisioned. There have been many alternative root attempts in the past, but I think the only way for one to succeed is if it starts off by augmenting the existing system instead of making users choose between one or the other (that can come later).
From someone who lived in Utah for 20+ years and whose stepfamily are all Mormon, I wouldn't think of tolerance as one of the faith's defining characteristics.

Although the intolerance often manifests itself as the kind of fake niceness found in movies when an old lady character needs to belittle someone with a sweet smile or calmly shut them out of polite society, not the fire breathing intolerance that wants to wage holy war.

Sort of side note, but some IT systems do in fact need to deal with 25 hour days, due to daylight savings time. If your system deals with schedueling electricity production, you may need to accept that one day a year may only have 23 hours while another have 25.
Assuming there are that many panels, it is in fact quite easy for any industrialized country to design a weapon that can destroy a square mile of panels or more with a single warhead. They're thin sheets of silicon covered in glass.
Is that in MO? There is a similar one near Belton. I believe it is C band radar. The FCC database should have it.
> Import the desired components [...] and the CSS

This is where you lost me. If I import a component i would like very much their styles to be self contained.

It can handle customization using css-in-js or passing class-names, but having it leak to my components is just such a turn-off.
>Could it be that longer books are almost a natural spaced repetition system for ingesting content?

I might buy the 'fiber' argument as it were, if it weren't for literature's existing power to convey in compact form already.

Aesop seems miles ahead of the modern self-help crowd here; if anything, there's something about couching information in metaphor that makes it particularly satisfying to digest, which is why we can teach children about boys who cry wolf with more efficacy than simply preaching honesty - which children put to more credible use in examining their teachers' hypocrisy.

The author calls his teammates incompetent and is quick to blame them for the company’s failure, but he actually paints a clear picture of failure by the engineering leadership - himself. Who would want to work for this person after reading this?
Not many religions in the U.S. have tolerance issues with "blacks" or "women", per se. The LDS church was unique in that regard. But to be fair, that aspect seems to have been sincerely discarded. What lingers is the uncomfortable landscape it finds itself in, and given the background racial landscape in the U.S., I'm sure it'll be an especially long journey out of that wilderness.
That's a bummer, they just moved it to an enom account (understandable) and charged me the usual renewal fee.
you give two examples, and the interview process in the article failed spectacularly on both counts.

You live in Boise. So...

Now that everyone and their dog appears to be offering their own streaming service, we are right back to the "app store" days of competing on the basis of "total number of apps". Quantity over quality.

BlackberryOS and Windows Phone tried this tactic by offering incentives for developers to build on their platform. The result? A veritable deluge of Bible apps, dictionaries, websites wrapped as native apps, you name it. Both BB and Microsoft were so desperate to get the total app numbers up, they did close to no quality control, and pretty much every garbage app went through unless they had blatant copyright violations.

With user reviews eliminated from the big networks (I have Prime and haven't seen any user-written reviews in the UI), all we have to go on is the all-knowing algorithm to recommend what to watch next.

Yeah, Ben is a big fan of Clayton Christensen. I doubt he would have written a post with that title if he didn't think Christensen got most things right.
Advertising aside, Google's search problems also extend to their political and/or economic agenda (outside of paid advertisements). I do a lot of writing, and often look up articles I have read in the past, sometimes the distant past, in order to reference them in the footnotes of my articles and posts. Many articles on politically controversial subjects (especially those that reflect poorly on "establishment" positions) either don't come up at all or are extremely hard to find, despite putting in numerous, specific keywords. Doubtless this is (at least in part) a function of Google's curated "reliability algorithm" that deranks (and in some cases hides completely) sites and sources that Google deems less credible than mainstream, establishment sources (a black-box decision making process that often ranks credible sites below larger, "corporate" outlets with a much worse track record of accuracy). While one could argue that this sort of algorithmic sorting has some use in its news section, when it comes to search this is a terrible policy. A search engine that hides or obfuscates the specific information or article I'm looking for because it doesn't match their agenda is worthless as a search tool.

Lisp is from the 1950s, dynamically typed and one of the most influential languages of all times. Lisp introduced GC, the single biggest advance in programming languages (but it took 30 years to make it fast). I am not trying to argue that dynamically typed languages became popular in the 1990s.

If anything, I see ML as the (spectacularly) successful attempt at typing Lisp for increasing reliability. Remember Milner was at Stanford in the 1960s, surely he will have conversed with McCarty. Milner's early theorem provers were in Lisp. He invented ML to reduce the pain of using Lisp (remember, ML stands for "meta language"), and to make theorem proving less error prone. More precisely to reduce the TBC (= trusted computing base) in theorem provers through types (viz the famous Thm abstraction).

ML was essentially finished in the late 1980s [1]. Every responsible programming language designer could have taken on board ML's lessons sincen, and it's an interesting historical question why this did not happen.

I don't know what you're searching, but I found the opposite to be true. Exceptions being local to geo area shopping, searching for images with text on them with the text - think xkcd -, and extremely obscure software error messages - apart from these, DDG beats google for me. Has been for quite a while.
Part of the conspiracy theorists’ standard self-defense toolkit is training their followers to believe that all mainstream sources of news, science and education are hopelessly compromised and should thus be studiously ignored.

How do you propose to educate someone who believes that?

An interesting exercise is to have a sample of readers summarizing a self-help book in 4 pages or less, and see how these pearls of wisdom overlap.

My hypothesis is that people would highlight different things, based on their own present level of wisdom so to speak.

Put it in a different way, the challenge with books as the medium for self-help is that it doesn't adapt to the varying levels of wisdom if its audience.
Having been around the corporate block a few times. I agree and say as much to my younger coworkers.

You have a problem. You think, "I'll ask HR for help."

Now you have 2 problems.
Perhaps, although I'm not so sure. The muting feature as documented is clearly intended to apply to the actual content of tweets. The keywords in this list clearly seem to be things that would appear in, say, a JSON representation of a tweet, but wouldn't be part of the actual textual content of a tweet. Of course it's possible that they deliberately implemented this as an undocumented power user feature.
>Near the equator, where most people on the planet live

Nope.

In fact, a minority of people live near the equator... for good reason:

https://www.datagraver.com/case/world-population-distributio...

Also, the base load most of us are talking about isn't created by people for the most part... it's created by industry, without which life on the equator or anywhere else would be rather primitive.

In any case, the equator is going to become unlivable in the next few decades to the point where populations in equatorial areas will drop drastically.
That's the more probable reality, yup. It's just signalling to me maybe it's time finally just bow out and get off this platform once and for all.
I suspect the same. And it wouldn't be unprecedented:

I wrote something very similar for reddit a while back using an extension called Tampermonkey. Reddit uses the same CSS classes on all their promoted content so if twitter does this same this could work.

Basically, you make an eventlistener on the scroll wheel and do document.getElementsByClassName('promoted-css-class-name'). Loop over the array of elements found and set the element style to 'display:none' for every element found every time you scroll.

Not the most efficient approach, but effective!
I'd pay full price if the information was valuable. This is what's missing here, having to scour 300 pages for what amounts to a handful of insights.

You could make the argument that a 'top 10' bulleted list misses the scaffolding or structure to adequately argue/justify those points, but at least the ideation of self-help is the 'secret' which is non-intuitive, that we are paying for being distilled to truths and actionables.
Firefox Team Looks Within to Lead into the Future
The issue that I find with JavaScript (which I use on a daily basis) is that it has become a "kitchen-sink" language. Every time it gets new additions to "close the gap" with some other language, it gains more ways to do the same things.

A big thing with Clojure is that it tries to provide a single, idiomatic way of doing things (though overuse of macros may cloud this picture at times). Generally, you can hop into any Clojure codebase and very quickly understand what's what.

Since JavaScript can do just about anything (functional, imperative, object-oriented, prototypical), there's no one "true" way of writing code, so while its possible use the "good parts" of JavaScript, everyone seems to have a different idea of what those are.

Flexibility can be a virtue, but I find myself preferring Clojure due to the constraints it provides.
And what about the rest of us non-Americans who have our respectjve local media misleading the public? Perhaps we all have our own mini Fox News entities that drive this narrative?

I don't intend to bring too much cynicism in here, but if you outright believe any media in current year, whether mainstream or alternative, you are being misled. Everyone has an agenda.
You're correct that each fragment will have its own independent orbit, based on the delta-v that it gained from the explosion. But they won't circularize; each of those new orbits will intersect the original orbit at the point where it exploded. The orbital periods of the fragments will also not match the original, meaning that the relative intersection will shift along the original orbit every time. So an explosion in geostationary orbit would be a Really Big Deal and could potentially threaten the whole geostationary fleet.
YaCy certainly comes to mind when considering decentralized web search. Google has a strong control of the pipe of people sending it queries. Though, there are certainly other methods.

It seems like one difficulty is in knowing what expertise is important? Assumedly the contractors thought they had expertise, but were lacking. The firefighters assumedly thought they had expertise, but we're lacking. What expertise do I think I have, but am actually lacking?
I don't think this is as rare as you might imagine. When I started doing engineering interviews at our last company I was startled about how obsessive they were about doing video interviews because I hadn't ever remember doing them in previous jobs. If video resolution was bad they would simply cut the interview and ask to reschedule.

When I asked why they did this, to my surprise they said they had been scammed by people who did phone interviews well, and in the on site interviews were completely incapable of answering the same questions at all. They we sure they had been catfished by multiple recruits.
Designing a Mars Rover to Launch in 2020
There are plenty of things business could do to cut costs, but wouldn't be in the public interest. Not comply with sanitation requirements? Not bother to have fire suppression? No customer washrooms?

But NYC is allowed to put bylaws in place that may harm businesses, but are for the greater good. This is one of them -- for the reasons mentioned in the article, and the privacy implications -- and I fully support it. That's just my opinion though.

My original point is that trying to be clever with "$2 bills only... see we still accept cash" isn't going to work out.

And for the record... I've paid with $100s plenty of times at places with "no $100 bills" signs. It's more of a suggestion, and they rarely enforce it unless you look super shady.
It also wouldn't be able to do drive a speaker, another key purpose of a Tile. Its actual tracking is primarily passive, so it's hard to locate with just a phone. (You might be able to triangulate from multiple phones... I recall an HN article with somebody doing that a few weeks ago). The main use case is to get close enough to trigger it, then follow your ears. That's thousands of milliwatts.

I suppose it might be possible to add a capacitor that's being continually charged.
I think you're right. As an example, I have the word/name of a certain political figure 'muted', however will continue to see tweets involving that figure if a friend retweets a tweet that has an embedded 'card' linking to a news article featuring said political figure.
See any thread on a Bloomberg article. They pushed that "Big Hack" story and it turned out to be shit, yet never retracted it or fixed it.

If you think the "main stream doesn't lie" you are extremely naive
I also like MOO the best because of the lack of busywork. In a way, it feels a lot like a Euro board game, with sliders instead of meeples working the planets. Well, like a Euro except for the glassing your opponents' planets part; genocide is kind of rare in cardboard. But it is possible to play and win without doing that, in most games anyway. And then you're playing a game where if you collect enough "points" from your economic engine -- population from terraforming -- you win the game.

Now can you offer further explanation of this "interplanetary rail" thing? Is it Galaxy Express 999 style?
i... don't agree there.

twitter is what you make of it. if you follow toxic people, you will get a toxic timeline.

me? i follow close friends, a bunch of economists from all sides (mostly from my own country) and some comedians. that's it. my timeline is super clean, i open every once in a while and it's never bad.

(side note: i met both of my best friends on twitter. oh and i also met my wife on twitter. it's not a bad platform as long as you can curate what you see).
The LDS church was not unique in that regard at all. They are just ~30 years behind the society around them.

For example, they had massive problems fully accepting blacks until the seventies, which was long after most mainstream religions got over their issues. But most mainstream religions (at least the protestand ones) had all kinds of trouble themselves in the forties.

The LDS church isn't unique in its problems, it's just decades behind.

Lispers read code by indentation, not by scanning parenthesis. Properly formatted Lisp, which is trivially automated thanks to the code being so easily parsed and manipulated, reads pretty much the same as Python. A good editor will shuffle things through the parenthesis based on indentation too, so the experience of writing it is keystroke for keystroke pretty close to Python as well if that's what you want.
