I would like to know the answer to this as well. Is there any detailed data on the topic?

I know ACTA was shot down but I'm not sure the petition had anything to do with it.

From the few articles I read I would think that's less the petition itself and more what the organizers did with the petition data after the petition.

I found a few articles:

I wasn't able to reply at the time but this also might be to show that "this person is talking indicator". It would make more sense if the client itself lit up the user's avatar to indicate they're talking, but for some reason the gateway sends a websocket to let you know when they start/stop talking, and if the gateway goes down while in a VC you'll lose talking indicators until it can reconnect.

In dollars. It's literally what currency is for.

Of course there's no one set of dollar values for most items. They very much depend on a context. But in a particular, well-defined context, you can very much convert both Statue of Liberty and NAFTA to dollars and sum them up to something that makes sense in that context.

Well, drunk people tend to have problems calculating expected value.
Here's a political and economic reason: modern cars, new and used, are painfully expensive for large portions of our society.

It does apply to most fields but not all. Notably, pilots are really good at what they do and improve constantly.

It's hard to compare doctors with other fields because a fuckup in most fields will cost money, but a fuckup in medicine will cost permanent damage and lives. If doctors can't live up to a higher standard (and they can't) then we need to minimise the human element in diagnosis and treatment as quickly and aggressively as possible.

Anecdotal but I've personally been saved from a potentially permanently-crippling medical procedure only because my med student friend visited me in the ward and questioned the procedure as it didn't make sense given my condition. If he wasn't around, I would be spending the rest of my life with a mild disability. That's not acceptable, but it happens all the time.

I've never really tried, but it looks like lists and hashes could be implemented in Postgres through json blobs. That would still leave out sets and zsets, which I also find essential in most work I do with Redis.

Besides having all the data structures, I love just connecting to Redis without specifying a database name (there's just a database number, which defaults to 0), a database user, or needing to create a table or a schema. Redis is, so to speak, just there. Not saying this is better than Postgres objectively - I just like it more.

> Women can find purpose through children

Why can't men? What's stopping you from finding purpose through being a father?

Gender roles are enforced and affirmed if individuals aren't willing to challenge them and push back in the first place.

Another truth of life is this: You can't always have your cake and eat it at the same time. Everyone gets the same 24/7/365. What you choose to do with it is what matters.

If men and women choose to assume traditional gender roles, then that's because individuals aren't challenging their own beliefs. And by behaving in a traditional gender roles, they implicitly perpetuate the notion that men need to spend their lives in the service of their jobs rather then their children. And that the lot of women is the opposite.

Change starts with yourself.

> being dependent on their man for purpose

Which is, really, hugely unhealthy behavior in itself, regardless of gender. (Yes, many men equally end up doing the same thing: sticking it out with a partner they may resent because they believe that living for your partner is the only purpose in life.)

The same is true for the idea that "children give my life purpose". Think about it. What if the sole reason why you exist, is to give your parents purpose? That sounds incredibly deprecating the lives of your parents, and it places a crushing amount pressure on what you decide to do with your life.

> It is truly the burden of man to find purpose.

It's the challenge every living human faces.

Moreover, so many are looking for purpose in the wrong spots: outside of themselves. They derive from external validation. That is, be perceived and told that you are a good employee, a good sportsman, a good husband, a good father, etc. etc. They look for markers such as wealth or fame to get validated in who they are. And they get depressed if they don't get the validation they crave, especially when they put their standards to unattainable high bars.

The real challenge is simply to learn to live with yourself. To be able to spend a day on your own, with your own thoughts, in your own body. To be a kind and loving friend to who you are as a person.

This is something you can only attain through time, practice and self-awareness. Your own mind is literally a house you build for yourself to live in. The ideas and beliefs you absorb are the bricks and mortar of that house.

If you are careless to the building materials, I can telly you that living in your own mind won't be very pleasant. Invariably, there will be times in your life when you will be alone or on your own. Like, when you move out to live alone, or when you divorce, or when you travel alone, or when you are old and alone. If, by then, you aren't able to live with your own thoughts and feelings, well, life will be a struggle.
But then again how do we know they are unknown and not unknowable?

Maybe by having the multiple compiler and OS vendors as the tier one customers, with their own agendas, followed by the remaining language users on a second tier.

Some people do this. I've heard of school teachers teaching science in Sotho or Zulu that explain scientific terms in the local language. A car for example (though this is standard) is "sefatanaga" which literally refers to its action along the ground, whereas a motorcycle (again standard terminology) is "sethuthuthu" which is onomatopoeia. An attentive school teacher can extend this to things like a chemical reaction or perhaps a physical force.

The only other point I would like to add is the actual internal variation that would complicate a scientific article. The dialect that is typical of my home area and the dialect that is taught at school have incompatible spelling due to pronunciation, but is verbally compatible with some amount of deliberation.

An example would be "Ke tla go bona." (I'll see you [later]; correct spelling) That's actually pronounced "Ge dao bona" in the variation. There are not enough people interested to find a way to get around the standardisation issue and, in fact, whichever dialect becomes standard is inherently a form of discrimination. This is what has happened to the Sepedi dialect of Northern Sotho. It has become the politically correct term. I've heard many people introduce themselves as a Mopedi (a Pedi person) while I would later point out to them that they are from a different dialect, which they would immediately concede: they meant it as umbrella term. In their defense, there is a difference between linguists and between actual users of a language. I guess you could say Sepedi is colonising the other dialects, though without any violence as the term might insinuate.

One reason might be that "Sesotho sa Leboa", which is the correct term for the language, Northern Sotho, is almost never used in verbal conversation. The term was almost certainly invented by linguists. The most common term would be "Sotho", but due to the confusion with Southern Sotho (a separate language) the default then instead becomes "Sepedi". It is reminiscent of "Castellano" vs. "Español".

Avastin / Lucentis does not support the point being made. Lucentis, a very expensive medication, was both licenced for AMD and was approved by NICE for that use.

Avastin is identical, but was not licenced for AMD and so NICE was not able to recommend its use for AMD.

Doctors were using Avastin off label, and they wanted the government to force Avastin to be licenced for AMD which would have allowed it to be recommended by NICE.

The makers of Avastin and Lucentis fought this in the courts for years, and took action against NHS Trusts using Avastin off-label. The NHS won that legal case.

There is a problem of people going blind while waiting for treatment, but this is related to cataracts and glaucoma, not AMD, and it has nothing to do with NICE (who are the organisation that decides about cost effectiveness) and everything to do with a government that has chosen to de-fund the NHS.
To see what content is popular, to see what countries users are coming from, to how long a given page is retaining a visitor... all of this lets a business know what they need to change/offer/stop to better serve their customers and attract more customers.

I had a very niche ecommerce site for a couple of years, for ease I was only shipping to U.S. customers. I noticed that something like 20% of my traffic was coming from Canada so I decided to enable shipping to Canada but added a 5$ premium on top of the actual shipping cost. I had a sale to Canada the first hour of enabling it in my cart and Canada ended up being roughly 10% of my orders, even after I raised the premium/handling fee to 10$.

Looking at my GA page once caused more money to be going into my pocket and filled a need for Canadian customers. I didn't need to learn a programming language or spend tens of hours trying to figure out, through articles, how to copy paste a bunch of code together to recreate something comparable.

A possible solution would be providing adblockers with timed counters for each image so that for example all external popups/ads get blocked but say only the first 5 each hour coming from each visited site will be shown for say 30 seconds to one minute (to avoid distraction when reading).
I believe it would be an effective way to send a message: be nice to me and I'll see some of your ads, but screw my surfing experience and you get no revenue. Otherwise as others have already pointed out, blocking everything would be the only viable option as surfing without blockers today has become a painful experience.

I had much more success researching my own health problems than by visiting any doctor (and have seen a lot, unfortunately). As a bonus, I learned a lot about the body and the mind.

I see misdiagnosis happening at a very high rate but I also understand they don’t have the time and/or energy to dig very deep into each patient and they do fine (money and respect-wise) by doing the bare minimum so many don’t try to fight it by e.g. setting up their own consultation and trying to do better (not necessarily making less money).

Of course, a bunch of exceptions can be found and they do shine a lot, but the average doctor isn’t going to be helpful after the very typical and simple checks don’t yield anything and they’ll happily prescribe things that won’t actually help you. That’s been my experience in at least couple european countries.

Well, in German language there is the word "Geisteswissenschaft" which includes philosophy; they have not the same conception of science like the English speaking world. See e.g. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geisteswissenschaft

We are two React developers. Every time we start a new project we constantly have the same questions: which libraries have the functionality we need and are they actively maintained? There is an overwhelming number of React libraries out there that do similar things, so we created reactlibraries.com to facilitate and organize them in a simplified and categorized way. We hope for this to turn into a community-driven database. If you have any favourite libraries or would like to showcase your own, please feel free to submit as many libraries as you would like. We are also hoping to launch our weekly newsletter soon which will showcase the most popular and upcoming libraries of the week. Also please feel free to give us any suggestions or feedback regarding functionality or additional organizational tools.
It's kind of funny how specific some of those changes are. Issue #2373: Improvements around real estate description including the addition of a property accommodationFloorPlan and type FloorPlan for use when a number of accomodation entries share a common layout. Added numberOfFullBathrooms and yearBuilt. Okay then!

In general the schema markup is great though. It's semantic web stuff done right: It's not hard to implement, it has tangible benefits, and there is proper tooling around it like the schema markup tester. And best of all: While this is mainly about changing how search results look, there is nothing stopping other software from using that markup. It's really one of the positive things Google is involved in.

It's only frustrating if what you want to do is not supported. I'd love to markup my processor and graphics card benchmark results (the ordered result list), but there is nothing in the schema that would allow me to do that :/

George W. Bush approved enhanced interrogation and rolled out black sites, Barack Obama closed those sites but failed to close Guantanamo, and Trump seems to be content to keep it open. Republican senators are ardently opposed to trials for detainees on US soil, and dont have a solution for the camp other than to keep it open until the population passes away peacefully or foreign nations start accepting them as immigrants.

The oldest man in GITMO currently is 71. Each of these detainees receives the same care as a US Soldier, but frankly doesnt contribute much. Our reasoning for keeping them there (often against overwhelming evidence of their innocence) has been contemptuous at some times, comical at others. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casio_F-91W#Usage_in_terrorism

Id surmise 20 years after 9/11 that GITMO is a sore spot in US politics most bureaucrats are content to just pretend never existed. It hasnt produced the Jack Bauer results we'd all been promised. Its arguably not been much of a detention center at all in the past decade.

It's only hard to see when you believe what business lobbyists tell you. It's actually easy to see when you look at the numbers.

Now there are plenty of government projects that are woefully inefficient, but health insurance seems to be one that governments are actually good at. Maybe not great, but better than an unregulated market.
