I've been trying the same and each time I failed miserably. I just don't get it and certainly can't enjoy it. Can someone recomend good poetry sutable for highly analytical mind or a book about apreciating poetry?
We thought Microsoft was evil because of how they treated their partners and competitors.

We didn't consider that a greater evil would arise, and all it would take was a disregard of the sanctity of personal privacy.
To be somewhat insensitive; it sounds like he was doing it wrong.

I'm recently on a kick to take my fitness more seriously; for me that means a three month stint with a personal trainer, bringing in a dietician soon, and planning on rounding out with a running coach.

As a note, all of this isn't that expensive - its just coming out of most peoples holiday and expensive treat budgets.

Doing it like this means you consult with real experts, who will tell you what you're doing wrong that you didn't think to ask about.

I didn't change the GPU in this upgrade. I was using a 1060 with the 2500k and am using the 1060 now.

Before that I had a Radeon 6970, that I bought with the 2500k, but I upgraded that in 2016.

> I get a lot of hate for not-using-2ton-framework-of-the-month.

I'm not sure I understand, it doesn't look like there's any DOM code included. What would you be using a framework for?
Sure, but there's a very different barrier between joy rides where they make extremely sure you know the high risk of death (and also your heirs, so they can't sue) and regular, regulated mass transit passenger flights from one spot on the Earth to the other.

I don't doubt that crewed launches will happen before 100,000. But keep in mind that Starship 1) is supposed to be super cheap to fly with fast turnaround, so you can afford a bunch of test flights and 2) will be used for launching a bunch of stuff into orbit already. Falcon 9 will have nearly 100 launches before it launches Dragon Crew, and that one has a launch abort system. 3) Starship has no full abort system like Dragon, so you're going to have to rely on flight history.

Flying people on charter flights may be feasible earlier, as the risk tolerance for general aviation is MUCH higher.

Base jumping has a fatality rate of about 1 in 1000, so to get risk down to 1 in 1000, you're going to need around 500-1000 consecutive successful launches (OR a lot of incredibly expensive mission assurance engineering... honestly might be cheaper just to do hundreds of test launches!). Regular skydiving is MUCH safer at 1 fatality in 10,000 or 1 in 100,000.

I expect the lunar flyby will require a good 25 to 100 consecutive successful launches beforehand. Starlink is supposed to have up to 40,000 satellites eventually. Starship can do about 400 at a time, so that's 100 launches right there. (There's some confusion, there... some say the permit is actually for 12,000 satellites. But Starship is still expected to do a bunch of regular commercial launches, say about 15-20 flights per year in addition to Starlink).

Driving and general aviation (private planes) are much less safe per mile than general aviation. If a Starship flight is 10,000 miles, to be as safe as driving a car, it only needs to get to 1 fatality in 10,000. To get as safe as a private jet (which the rich and famous seem to have no problems using), it's about 1 fatality in 10,000 to 50,000.

If we just have to be as safe as taking a motorcycle for 10,000 miles, that's just 1 in 500, which is pretty doable for Starship.
I dont think that's correct to look at as shortage of land - Having more physical land does not solve the problem. You could put SanFrancisco on an infinite flat earth, and house prices would hardly budge.
Watercolour painting, the paints, brushes, etc can be quite inexpensive, and it is an activity that allows one to get lost in it entirely, that you forget all other things during that time.
What's your track record for handling that kind of position? It's not the money, it's the competence, knowledge and experience that matters. And if you actually have all that then you wouldn't be asking for $1m/year.

It's a tight knit community because there are only a few individuals who get to that level of management and can be selected from to lead (and are even open to a new position in the first place).

The golden parachutes are to offset a bad tenure from hurting their future prospects. There are several CEOs who aren't hired anymore (or anywhere near that level) because of their past performance and they lose their earning potential.

Otherwise it seems you are saying that Arlington should arbitrarily seize all profits from landlords because landlords are evil boogiemen.

Is there actually still a performance advantage these days? Would be curious to see some benchmarks.

I will say that Gmail/Hangouts feels faster in Chrome but that's obviously not a fair comparison.
Very cool. I was super interested in Intel Vaunt and this is just an iterative improvement. I would buy a pair of these if they had a reasonably open API/firmware.
I don’t think this goes directly against the parent comment. They aren’t inherently dangerous, but they’re really easy to do wrong and cause a lot of damage.
I use (sometimes/often) mitmproxy and remove or change suspect headers. It is also nice to remove all the fb, google and more crap from the html. And much more. It is a lot of work not to break a website. I don't know whether I am more trackable or not - this is the 'only browser' without x-client-data header.

Creating debt is taking money from the future. There are some discrepancies between running a business and a national economy, but I think the results are still pretty unknown.
You are not incorrect, and that's definitely something we've talked about addressing, because it's a common request. We have a workable flow for publishing static web pages from Sandstorm, but even that requires manually configuring DNS entries somewhere. We've talked a bit about what would be required to get a dynamic grain available at a well-known subdomain.

There's obviously some security cost to doing that, but it's a cost most people would accept in the context of a grain they want to make easily findable to the public.

Emails were deleted August 23rd, across a wide variety of folders, all at the same millisecond (when I later pointed this out and how difficult it would be for me to do this accidentally, they did not comment).

Noticed on October 4th. I'd noticed some emails weren't turning up in searches but I chalked it up to my bad memory until there was one I knew for a fact should have been there. It was Oct 22nd by the time we got to any sort of conclusion, which was basically "there's nothing we can do for stuff that far back but I'll try to restore any recently deleted emails we can find". Getting details/logs/info from their support, even after they escalated to a higher level, was like pulling teeth.

They restored a bunch of things I'd actually deleted but they were all stuck in Draft mode, took till Oct 31st for them to sort-of fix that mess.

I set up the Mailinabox somewhere in that period. I still have my fastmail account because I wanted some overlap to test the MIAB before committing, and I'm getting ready to fully pull the plug before my next billing cycle.

It was a good lesson in setting up regular backups and not trusting any provider. I found Fastmail great to use until that experience, and I could see them being useful as a relay to send through trusted servers, but not worth my money to deal with the terrible support.
> Stuff like LineageOS is kind of a start, but they're constantly fighting to get a toehold on each new smartphone generation.

That's because the SoC's themselves have almost zero standardization - and quite unlike the custom platforms of the 1980s and 1990s, they aren't even documented. They can barely run with their hacked-together 'board support packages (BSP's)' and factory-installed OS's. Cleaning up the hardware support for even a single one of these platforms so it passes the standards for mainline kernel inclusion and support is a huge amount of effort, and then only gives you long-term support for that one hardware revision. It's a lot worse of a mess than what we had in the 1990s.

> "how average people try to defend the rich"

It's pretty simple when you realize the majority of the rich started as average people.

Wealth is relative, you're likely better off than 95% of the planet. Should we reduce your salary because of what a rural farmer makes in China?
Honestly, the people who make it big in the firm have a great knack of delivering.
It's a 50-50 from what I know.

It is true consultants have less skin in the game, they can basically not deliver and the firm gets more business from other big names.
But reputation is everything, one consultant that delivers splendid on a project has his reputation to maintain.

I just finished coding a few functions in pure Javascript I need for a project (parsing turtle files I have ownership one). After searching for libraries and having read their Github project's Readme, I choose to implement them by myself because making them working in browser (most target Node) and understanding their API would have take longer than doing it myself anyway. The front-end tooling has became a huge mess of tools (none of which I have experience with) so I always keep it to vanilla JS (or TS) to progress on my project instead of learning a tool that might not exists in 3 or 5 years.

I know this article relates to programming, not linguistics, but...

I live near a street named "Elati". Humans pronounce that Uh-lah-tee, all 3 syllables nearly the same emphasis.

Google maps calls it Ell-uh-tee, emphasis on the "Ell".

How long before human language bends to the will of Google maps' pronunciation algorithm.

I don't think this is good or bad, merely interesting, and I'd like to know the name linguists have for this phenomenon.

I don't understand your group. The company that offers everything for free for the price of privacy and you also give them money?

It's actually really, really scary. Money is already volatile enough, I would rather we not add a bunch of new bugs and security vulnerabilities to it.
Money is shared fiction too. The difference is we can print an infinite supply of it but only have a finite supply of gold in the world.
Thomas Nagel, David Berlinski, and David Stove are all atheist/agnostic philosophers who find the arguments of intelligent design worth considering. They don't agree with inferring a deity from the findings, but they do think there is something special about mental causation, and it seems to show up in biological history, which is the core of ID theory.
Theological inferences are a tertiary matter that is not fundamental to the theory. The theory itself is purely mathematical and empirical. So, I would suggest you take a second look at the works I recommend.

Also, here is a short, readable article by Nagel laying out his view that mental properties are an essential, and unexplored feature of our universe.

I would recommend 'Understanding Poetry' by Robert Penn Warren and Cleanth Brooks, as a good introduction, it also includes a reasonable collection of poems from various poets to appreciate.

I would also suggest getting an anthology like 'The Golden Treasury' or Anthony Quiller-Couch or Robert Penn Warren (Six Centuries of British Poetry) or G B Harrison. They are available often in small pocket editions, which one can carry around with one.
As someone who did his graduate studies in Montreal and moved to NYC to work and then back to Toronto about two years ago I can comment on this. In Toronto I make about 10% less then what I did in NYC if you don't factor in exchange rate. But since I did my entire academic career from undergraduate to phd in Canada, I am able to enjoin a large amount of tuition tax credits which sort of makes up for it. This year I invested in some property downtown Toronto which I plan to hold onto, either living here or leasing it if I leave.

However, I think given the right opportunity I would still head back to the U.S. Things are fucked in the U.S. but the sense of scale, velocity is unmatched. In Toronto you feel that people's attitude is just not the same. There is no hunger or lust to be number #1 and I have always been competitive personality type. In NYC even traditional enterprise corporations (where I worked) there is an intensity and drive that's missing here. Call it the american spirit.

Salary as this stage is relatively unimportant, making 150 or 250k is about the about the same to me. But the scale and types of opportunities is something else. There are roles and jobs that only exist in the U.S.

That being said, for me going back is just a tour of duty, once you are past the journeyman stage of your life and wanting to start a family, then Canada wins unquestioned. The environment, benefits, healthcare, and most importantly education for your children will outweigh just about any salary you can command state-side. Because now you are talking about intangible things that are harder and harder to buy with money.

My opinion is, stay in the U.S. when you are young and/or talented. Then, if you are of Indian or Chinese birth, move elsewhere to start a family and take a senior position in Canada. Typically if you come from reputable shop state-side and demonstrate your worth, you can find a job where people will treat you with respect for that experience. They might not be able to compensate you the same way but you can usually get bumped up a notch.

If you are of white or European heritage and you are in a good place then you can consider staying the U.S. if you can make it work.

It's a bit like providing a snap.

I know exactly one non-cannonical project that maintains a reliable out of the box experience for snaps, Nextcloud. And that's because they use and package it themselves.

Yet I'm never quite sure if I'm about to shoot myself in the foot installing any other snap.

Same with Sandstorm. When I ran Mattermost for a bit I was initially shocked how seamless and fast it worked, followed by immediate disappointment that apparently just a handful of versions had been patched and it was lots of major versions behind by now.

Isn't it coming out for the XBOX One?
Interviewers are only supposed to ask questions that are directly relevant to the job duties.

Whatever the reason for the job gap, there is no possible answer that is legally permissible. Remember more and more states are banning questions about jail time as well (look up 'ban the box'). So even if the person said, "I spent time in jail" that is still problematic. They may not have been convicted and considered innocent. Background checking services exist for a reason.

An interviewer asking about a job gap is already on sketchy legal ground.

The interviewer asking an inappropriate question is not entitled to a truthful answer to an inappropriate question that is not related to job qualifications.

Here is an example to help understand why this is problematic.

Lets say the candidate is religious.
They took a year off to go on a missionary trip.
If the candidate answers correctly (i.e. doesn't lie) the interviewer just discovered the candidate's religion.
This knowledge is now super problematic if the candidate is rejected.

This is why good interviewers do not ask about hobbies or what the person does outside of work hours. There is a real risk of discovering protected information (sexual orientation, religion, national origin, marital status, family situation - including plans to have children, etc.).

Remember a court of law is going to hear the question and the TMI answer that the candidate felt compelled to supply.

The intent of the interviewer will be determined by a court NOT the interviewer.
