You're spinning, not them.

Even assuming it was a "prank", it was meant to create discord, otherwise the CEO would have chose a different, funnier, more obvious edit.

Instead, he chose to make a subtle change and then only admitted it after getting caught.
Hm, okay. Apologies for the misinformation.
> Roughly half the country absolutely did vote for this

I get that approximation is subjective, but I'm not sure 19% is what most (or even “roughly half”, even by your apparent standard, of) people would consider “roughly half”.
Ok, I have doubts. You can literally put ", Responsibly" behind anything and it sounds legit.

Google, Responsibly
Facebook, Responsibly
AirBNB, Responsibly

Prove me wrong.
Totally in agreement. The fundamental lesson of infoviz, in my view, is that visualization is an act of creative distortion: graphs are literally distortion (much like how diaries, photographs, and films are distortions of experience).

There’s no such thing as a neutral graph. Making certain things easier to compare might not be the goal. This is why journalistic graph makers must be extra purposeful, and grounded in theory.

I don’t believe that laypeople are using geographic distortions poorly with malicious intent, but more likely with ignorance, as the article suggests.

The idea that employers will fire you for justifiable reasons when the reality is that they are firing for unjustifiable reasons is far more than simple conspiracy theory. There are numerous cases of people winning discrimination lawsuits because such firings didn't cover up good enough and lawyers were able to prove the actual reasoning. I do not find it unreasonable to think that many more cases weren't caught because the individual either didn't have funds to fight back or tracks were covered well enough the jury wasn't convinced.
Yes, I'm not trying to justify it. And it's not just that we say "the fifth day of May," because it's also true that we can say "the third month." My point is that the fifth day of May is actually named "5" and there's no other name for dates (other than specially=named days, of course).
I love that people are building tools in this space.

I do wish there were offerings using git as the backend since a full versioned can be backed up and mirrored to so many hosts so easily (GitHub, gitlab, etc). I simply don't trust non emphemeral data (journal, blog drafts, etc) exclusively to Google Drive, Dropbox, etc.

Personally I use pass for notes and journals but the UX isn't great outside of my laptop.
This doesn't hold up in the face of technical advances. As others have mentioned, cheap energy (e.g. fusion) provide very real solutions to many of the problems we face, and will make it realistic to continue to improve lifestyles across the globe. Of course our politics might get in the way and we could still be doomed, agreed, but that's a very different conversation. The idea that a western lifestyle for everyone is "impossible", and that "we can probably only afford to live like the global middle class" etc, needs more than just a nice ring to it.

I hate to be that guy, but: "citation needed."

Otherwise I do agree on recycling being mostly a boondoggle. But, again: politics. There are ways.
Great article!

Just a quick note that 19.04 Ubuntu reached EOL on Jan 23rd, 2020. Ubuntu has several releases that support 4.18+ kernels [0]. I recommend using 19.10, but you can also use a more recent HWE kernel for the 18.04 LTS [1].

Why would you claim using totes bags and paper straws would help with malnutrition and water table depletion?

No, not if you "loaded in the past". But if you have recently engaged positively with it, sure.

Plus that's kind of two degrees removed from the original comment. If someone who does a horrible thing cites a community as a motivation/inspiration, yeah that group should absolutely at least think about what that says about them. It's not an immediate condemnation of guilt, but if there's strong evidence that that community's behaviour or ideology provided motivation, or if there's a repeated pattern, then it's a problem. The alternative is to say there's nothing wrong with white supremacists because all those people who commit racial violence citing white supremacy are just incidentally related, or that there's nothing wrong with gangs because we should avoid "linking" people who commit gang violence to their associates.

These speed limited vehicles which can't go with the flow in a city are a danger because people will be overtaking, cutting in and generally be annoyed by them. This is already a problem with scooters and some motorbikes.

Cheap vehicles which are limited to 45 km/h have always existed, they were never popular in Europe. Make it 60 and it will be usable for city driving.

Right. And as the costs of, say, energy rise, people use less of it. Which means less mobility, less heating or cooling, less plastic, quite possibly less medical care.

Which means a drastic lifestyle change for the nonrich advanced-economy participants, no joining them for most everyone in less advanced economies, and more authoritarianism, war and civil unrest for everyone while the, um, "adjustments" settle in.

But things are fine, sure.
Thank you for this - stay safe and healthy.
Yes, delivery.
Anti discrimination laws exist for a reason. It would be cheaper and easier for businesses to tell disabled customers to go away instead of building a ramp. A club might please its members more by banning black people.

But we had decided that this kind of action is a negative to society. Tech companies have just slipped around existing laws. Its time that the laws be updated to include web services. TikTok was also exposed to be shadow banning disabled users.
No. All the writing and most of the moderation is done by volunteers. The closest to that on the Foundation's payroll are the about three community managers.

They are both competing for the "inflexible" part of the power supply. They step on each others toes, and do not work well together. A grid with a lot of renewables will have the price of power driven to near zero too often for nuclear to survive.

We can confidently predict that no one will ever find a Dyson sphere of any description. Anybody equipped to make one would have long since perfected controlled fusion, and spent the time fusing the nearest cold gas giant after mining out the actually frozen ones.

In the same spirit...

What spirit is that? Have you sent me money? Do you wear hats and T-shirts with my name on them? b^)

Seriously, though, we have plenty of space here. It doesn't surprise me that rich people like to give money to people who agree that those same rich people should be rich. Basically everything I see on TV, and certainly all the ads, amount to the same thing. With all of their vast resources, the Wilks haven't managed to keep the message of global warming from reaching me.

Isn't that curious? Here you have several actual billionaires, allied with a variety of vaguely telegenic pundits, and Alphabet swats them away without even really making an effort. That's the monopoly I was talking about. You may celebrate when speakers you dislike are silenced, but it makes me wonder who else is being silenced, who because they're not billionaires never even came to my attention.
The article seems to suggest that the 4gb model has been outselling the $35 one.
You can often find freshly rendered lard in Mexican markets especially if they sell carnitas. Ask for manteca.

You can also render chicken fat and skin. Pork lard is more versatile, but chicken fat is a delicious substitute for vegetable oils for sautéing or stir frying.

Instead of buying skinned chicken parts get them with skin on. Freeze the skin and extra fat until you have a cup or more. Place fat and skin in a saucepan, cover with water and simmer until all the water is gone. Continue simmering until all the embedded water is also gone and the bubbling stops. The goal is completely dry fat and a pale straw to light gold color. Be careful near the end, once the water is gone the temperature will rise quickly. You now have liquid chicken fat and crispy chicken skin cracklings. Remove cracklings and salt lightly to snack on or use as garnish. Strain fat into container and refrigerate. If you got it completely dry it will keep for months and won’t spatter when cooking.

This procedure works with duck, pork or beef fat as well, except no chicken cracklings.

> I feel that we're missing a trick with CI/CD if IDEs can do a end-to-end build with one click, there's some technology to be shared or extracted here from desktop IDEs.

I use "bazel test ..." to build stuff on the command line and my CI system runs "bazel test ..." to build stuff in CI. They can even share the same cache, and the cache actually works. (I admit for that 90% of go stuff I just use their build tool, though.)

I think IDE-integrated build systems are an artifact of times where people didn't write multi-language projects and there weren't good open source build systems. Things have changed a little, and now you can have your cake and eat it too.

(Autocompletion has also moved out of IDEs and into things maintained by languages themselves.)

Wouldn't corporate branding be enough?

Even if Mario entered into public domain, Nintendo Mario games would still be the superior choice. It isn't like people would be allowed to claim their game was an official Nintendo Mario game. Profitable IPs would also be able to grow their IP as a means of protection. For example, there would be a significant time lag between when Mario would enter the public domain and Yoshi would, and as such more recent Nintendo games couldn't be copied because they include Yoshi (replace Yoshi with dozens of even newer characters).

Edit: One way to think of it is that others could only use the cannon as it existed 30 years ago. As long as the IP isn't dropped and fans like where it is going, that provides a significant barrier of protection from others branching off and making their own cannon.
It's funny how pro-capitalistic people get here when this comes up.

It depends what your are doing. Some chips can get down to about 100uw to maintain associated and send small amounts of data. I'm not sure how they would compare at 2mbit or how the range would compare.

I guess it all depends on your perspective and which option you pursue. I've done exactly what you've described and not found it to be a waste of time at all -- it can be a good way to get involved in your community. For instance, in my old neighborhood I found it very satisfying to take my waste to the community garden and participate in rotating it through the various stages of decomposition and then distributing the end result around the garden.

When I was living in Manhattan, I would take compost to the Fourth Street Co-op and it was a good excuse to get exercise, buy inexpensive organic food and interact with people. (You don't need to be a member to shop there and freelance life can get lonely.)
The denial stage of grief is where we hope for miracles (nuclear fusion) so that we don’t have to face reality (the lack of sufficient resources to sustain our energy- and resource-intensive lifestyle).

We have been using plastics for less time than fusion has been “just around the corner.” Going back to a plastics-free lifestyle will be easier than magicking up fusion power.
I'm still a contractor in tech in London. IR35 is, as you said, a real PITA!

The level of change is just quite dramatic, and the returns are not at all favourable in any comparison.

I have been doing this for a long time now, many many years and have worked on many projects, in many companies. There is definitely a massive benefit of flexible and highly skilled developers for companies that need projects off the ground quickly. I am very interested to see how this single change alters what many companies are able to push out in the UK post April.

While there appear to still be the potential for Outside IR35 contracts, I have many colleagues that are sat on the sidelines already, waiting.
That NPR story on this is very informative. Clearview actually has a list of all journalists and they programmed th journalist's photos into their application flow. They automatically block and even take away the license of the individual that is talking to the reporter.
Circumventing censorship without strong anonymity is not necessarily pointless: you can publish something sensitive from a place where you'd not be prosecuted (e.g. from abroad). The point is to bring the message to those who are denied information.
The StateMover concept sounds pretty interesting and is almost like the reverse of the integrated-logic-analyzer approach that the major vendors have adopted in their tooling.

A better parallel is that the person curious about furniture-making still isn't doing everything from scratch.

If symptoms are getting worse, particularly acutely, seek medical attention.

That’s a hard question regardless of programming language. One commonly referenced YouTube video about time that explains why this is hard: https://youtu.be/-5wpm-gesOY

A reasonable first approximation of a solution would be to just check every second (or minute, or hour, depending on requirements) whether the current system time is later than the scheduled time for any pending events. Then you probably want to make sure events are marked as completed so they don’t fire again if the clock moves backwards.

Trying to predict how many seconds to sleep between now and 3pm on Saturday is a difficult task, but you can probably use a time library to do that if it’s important enough... but what happens when the government suddenly declares a sudden change to the time zone offset between now and then? The predictive solution would wake up at the wrong time.
