I mean. The endless hearings about Clinton's emails? The endless hearing about Benghazi? Obamacare? The endless hearings about Trump and Russia and election interference? Going futher back - McCarthy and communism, Howard Hughes and airlines. MLB and steroids? Virtually all Americans believe that some congessional hearings were just useless partisan exercise - they just differ on which ones.

I think the examples are self evident to most people who follow American politics. If you had indicated that you were a foreigner and indicated that you were asking for an example, not a clarification, I might have given a kinder response.

Every time I hear a glowing testimony like this, I get a little hopeful but then I remember the current state of the JavaScript ecosystem. Perhaps you could shed some light on this?

Is it possible to make externs or definitions of library functions? How much time does it take to take a fresh library and write those externs to access them in Parenscript land? And what limitations did you run into?

Cheers.
It’s the standard I apply, right or left. I don’t edit those organizations.
Same here in Scotland. Apparently there's so little sunlight in winter here and it's so 'low quality' in terms of providing vitamin D that it's impossible to get enough from sunlight during winter here. The NHS actively encourage vitamin D supplements over winter.
Even during summer in the Northern hemisphere, one would need to be out in the midday sun shirtless for a couple hours each day to get enough vitamin D that way. It’s just not feasible for most people, and doesn’t work in the winter unless you’re the Iceman.
I don’t see the point really. In the real world applications aren’t “simple”. They are complex.

Thank you for giving details about the kinds of circumstances that may mean supplements are warranted. But do note it only adds to my point. It doesn't actually rebut it.

My statement was already qualified: vitamin D can be manufactured in the body (by most people).

I'm aware there are people who have a legitimate need to take supplements for some reason. No amount of qualifiers is ever enough to prevent the internet from completely ignoring your qualifiers and acting like "You are wrong! And this doesn't apply to me!"
The video doesn't really explain why conductors point at the signs - it just says "to prove they're paying attention". Paying attention to what? The answer is that they are verifying that the train is correctly positioned in the station so that all of the doors will open on the platform.

Agree with 2nd sentence.

This issue is silly to me because the YT videos I am interested almost never use the rolling cipher. I cannot be the only one. If the user is someone who wants to consume commercial content from VEVO and the like via YT, surely she is also content to do so using Google's Javascript player and submitting herself to ads and tracking that web browsers enable.

IMO, there is more to YT than what the RIAA's members contribute.

I had another phone that broke. So I went back to my iPhone 5S that still had iOS 10. I didn't want to update because I figured it would make the experience worse.

To be honest, I don't know if my significant other's phone (iPhone 11 Pro) can even connect to my car anymore through the cable. (Bluetooth being the only other option - which has significantly worse audio quality and issues like static or something of the sort)
>scale back our lifestyle

Low-carbon-footprint urban lifestyle doesn't feel "scaled back." If anything it feels scaled up, intense, high maintenance, premium. Something for wild and rambunctious twenty-somethings. It leaves people yearning to settle down in "the simple life" with a big lawn, a big SUV, and a big steak on the grill.
Long find apple user here.
They’re really starting to lose me. all this shaving every little thing annoys the bell out of me.

No long power cables anymore with laptops.

No headphones. Wouldn’t matter if they don’t break. Or if the airpods last > 15minures after a year.

Years have gone without fast chargers. Or usb c. Not they’re telling us that we already have enough chargers. We don’t. Because of you!

I’m not getting a new phone, and refuse to buy apple’s headphones, cables or chargers. And I recommend people against it if they ask.
This looks like a strawman dressed in false dilemma. With Cambridge Analytica debacle, as I understand it, it was a facebook quiz hosted by facebook and the data collected from facebook directly and used for nefarious purposes.

This is a an extension developed by researchers asking users to install it on their machines and used exactly as advertised: scrapes advertisement data that facebook shows them.
> Have you worked with any of the things you listed?

Yes, and I offer the (indeed rather scattered) list as a sampling of the formats and taxonomies one encounters--sometimes by essential need to code wildly different concepts like "struck on head by tortoise" vs "lower back pain, moderate" vs "Lisinopril 5mg oral tablet", sometimes by separate efforts across time or geography or organization to do sort of the same thing. From the outside it might seem a lot more tractable space than it is after you get into the weeds.

Although my time with HL7 v2 over the years amounted to probably less than 100 focused hours, it didn't take long to encounter folks mangling the spec in ways HAPI rejects, mashing giant base64-encoded PDFs into ORU records, etc., and worst of all, using the "flexibility" of the records/segments to ram through rubbish not aligned to any nomenclature. Ugly pipehat serialization without schema or validation. I'm sure someone with 10 years at MGH would have a very different impression, but this one is mine.
I don't think "the 2-minute rule" (originally from Dave Allen of 'Getting Things Done') or the article above frame procrastination as "laziness."

It clearly about "Task Initiation" which is a problem related to "Executive Function". None of the related authors would ever frame it as being about "Laziness". That's like... the last thing Dave Allen would do.

Also "identifying the next action" (which is what you're suggesting) is also very much a Dave Allen technique. Dave Allen adds the 2-minute rule on top of that -- if it's 2 minutes or less, don't bother tracking it, just do it straight away... that way you won't pay the cost of tracking a whole extra item in your task management system.
Neither sentence means anything at all.
A beautiful breakdown of this idea is in ' One Small Step Can Change Your Life: The Kaizen Way' by Robert Maurer.

What Maurer does, however, is explain the biological reasons this works. When we are stressed/anxious/afraid, the part of the brain called the amygdala activates our "fight or flight" response. So, when we try to take 'big' steps, we activate the amygdala and...give up, run away, avoid. But (extremely) small steps "sneak" past the amygdala without activating the fight or flight response.

The catch is that you're looking at this through the lens of "comparison shopping between two user-facing apps", decided on by a random consumer out on the net. In that context, it's absolutely true. I personally experienced this with google vs. all of the other portal search sites like yahoo, excite, etc - google loaded much faster, and on my shitty 28.8 modem that was a matter of minutes, sometimes. So I switched to google.

The thing is - most web software isn't comparison shopped. It's developed on contract. I work at a company that does a lot of this, and, hypothetically, maybe we'd get hired to do an internal app for some retailer (imagine Best Buy or Walmart). When you build something like that, there's a gun to your head about time-to-deliver. They don't care if it's good — it's just got to meet a "reasonably decent" metric of quality. The only thing they really care about is getting it released on a certain timetable.

And all of this is because of contract law - timetables are provable breach-of-contract. You promised you'd make something by February, but you weren't done until April - that's something that's a provable failure-to-deliver. That's got financial penalties. But quality? Quality's gotta be astoundingly bad to be "provable". "Lag" or "the site's kinda slow" doesn't hold up in a lawsuit. (These things rarely lead to lawsuits, but do lead to 'punishment' by a refusal to renew a contract, knowing that the contractor can't sue the company because the contractor provably failed to deliver what was agreed on.) So they optimize for what's punishable according to the terms of the contract.

That's why all of this corporate enterprise software sucks - because nobody gets punished if it's slow or crappy; they just get punished if it's late, or if it's provably broken, because that's the stuff that's easy to pull out of a contract for.

Squint and Canada's carbon tax dividend looks like UBI. Win / win.
It goes both ways and depends. The point is there are options and your statement is not correct.

Some merchants, like street merchants or drivers, will simply have their code printed out. You scan it and pay them and they get a notification on their phone or tablet that you've paid. Other places, like at bigger restaurants, have QR screen readers that will scan the purchaser's phone.

Either way, I don't see what you're getting at. The terminal is the phone in many cases, and other cases, there is a terminal in the sense of an integrated scanner system, but why does that matter? For the user it is much more convenient and faster. It's essentially instant, and I have never waited for the amount of time it takes for a credit card or NFC payment method to process. Further, it allows basically anyone to have this method because, again, the terminal is your phone and can be so for both parties in the transaction.

> And NFC works when my battery dies.

So what? You can charge your phone essentially anywhere in China.
We have a lot of evidence of how people perceive color, and the differences of perception. There are tests that measure the ability to distinguish color. Some people are only colorblind in one eye, and report perceptual differences that are predictable by phenotype. I would expect any meaningful difference in qualia would have some conceivable (if not performable) test. Otherwise we're calling two equivalent things different for no reason at all.

I personally tend to believe that non-falsifiable statements are necessarily non-physical.
A few weeks back I went to the LibreOffice conference and the vibes were really encouraging. It is really a strange time we live in, where there are these fundamental structural changes in gatherings, bringing communities together in a totally virtual space.

These FOSS conferences are a huge deal and really thrive on community support. I encourage you to go, if for no other reason to get a feel for where the projects are going.
For some reason, and I really cannot fathom why, a lot of people seem to think they changed charging options.

They didn't. They added a new, optional one. Everything that used to charge an iPhone 11 will still charge an iPhone 12. I'm even willing to bet money on the fact that the original 30-pin connector (via an adapter) will charge the new phones. An iPod dock from 2001 would probably charge these phones.
I would rather assume that basic consciousness is a property of a certain kind of computation over time that keeps state in a way that allows you to experience the events of the world as a continuous process and track your state in it over time.

Of course one could say that the way that is implemented for us is using matter.
Then again one could argue that all matter is just a manifestation of a huge amount of computation.

So we are just computers built on a substrate of manifested computation, and we built even more computers ourselves that way.

Thus I'd argue that anything that can compute and keep state can have consciousness.
How intelligence fits into this all, I am not sure.
Your last sentence reminded me so much of Ecclesiastes 4:8 I concluded that it was probably a conscious, rather than an unconscious paraphrase ...

I like coding. I want to enjoy what I do. That's the single most important thing in my life. I spent thirty years, dancing to the organ grinder. I spent most of that as a manager, which wasn't fun.

As for how good? Feel free to look for yourself. I am an open book.
This is good advice. But it conflates two different (but related) ideas from Dave Allen: "Next Action" and "2 minute rule".

Both are fantastic ideas. I recommend going to the source to learn about these, the book "Getting Things Done" and the many writings specific to that system. It is very influential, so much so, that many of the things influenced by it no longer realisz their ideas have come from Dave Allen. It just seems like a universal idea that everyone knows with no particular source, like the Cerulean of the sweater in "The Devil Wears Prada", it came from somewhere.
Sure. Nobody (seriously) believes that correlations can’t be suggestive of a causal relationships....but they do need to be followed up.

It’s more that the AZ field has found this particular correlation over and over and over again. Despite millions (possibly closing in on billions) of dollars, however, it’s proven difficult to turn it into a causal link. A-Beta antibodies repeatedly fail, both before and after the plaques appear. Various types of inhibitors don’t work. If a method does something to amyloids, someone has probably tried it already, often in an expensive and ill-advised trial.

Unless NVidia gives Xilinx a compelling reason to switch away from ARM.
Great, thanks again! One more question: I imagine that it's not very important exactly what one picks as a beginner, but is Lean something which one might weight against Idris as something to start with, or would one get very different things out of learning about (and how to use) those?
Or just plan a topic and a survey period. Eg if we're going to talk about cereal, monitor Facebook/etc for cereal ads for X hours, then under similar conditions (time of day/etc) after you talk about cereal for a while.

To be ultra paranoid i'd avoid even chatting about it digitally. ISP distrust.
Certain companies tend to create ethnic clusters, and this person is probably at one of them. Ex: One 50-300 person place I worked at had a much higher rate of chinese & jewish people than other typical tech companies for example. It started because the first staff members were of those groups, and then they reference more people from those groups and it creates a network effect. I was a recruiter hire so I wasn't part of the trend. Companies only start reverting to the mean once they get so big that the reference network effect is too slow.

If the ethnic clusters have bad english, you then start getting language and cultural comfort effects and people not of the ethnic group have a much harder time getting hired.

Mao seriously mismanaged the economy, leading to famine. Life expectancy also increased from 40 years at the time of the revolution to 60 years at the time of his death. A lot of Chinese people have mixed feelings about him.

Is it just one person who is charging their phone wirelessly, or does it have the potential to be a large societal trend?
I do notice a certain glee we have when we can frame other people wasting energy in ways we don't happen to waste ourselves. As if wireless phone charging or bitcoin mining or X are the last unturned stones in the pursuit of zero waste. Some condescension we can share on HN before we drive to Walmart for a single gallon of milk.

It's weird how tempting it is. I had a roommate that used our clothes dryer daily. I have to admit I felt a little bit of ecosuperiority over him as I hung my clothes. Perhaps briefly pondering how much better the world would be if everyone gave up a luxury I personally could do without (while retaining all of my preferred luxuries for myself, of course).

I feel like there's precedence for this at Apple, even during Jobs' tenure. During the mid-'00s there was a sudden rush of new iPod types- iPod with Photo, iPod with color displays, iPod with Video, different form factor iPod Mini and iPod Nano iterations all within a few years. I remember being confused even then.

WeChat's QR scanning is basically instant and doesn't need to be lined up. In my experience, it basically has scanned and processed the QR code when I've barely realized I got it in view.

Regarding NFC, I've just seen too many times of having to put the phone in the right place in the right orientation to get the communication to work, and then it still takes time to make the payment. It's faster than credit cards when it just works but slower when it doesn't. And Alipay and WeChat are faster than both.

In China, you don't need a wallet. You just need a phone. So you get used to knowing what you need. There's an initial learning curve, but then you can be paying and biking around and everything else with just your phone.
They do add up, but not to very much compared to virtually any other household use of electricity...
Really? "Will be" and "has been" presume time. If you admit time, then no. If you don't admit time, then the statement is meaningless.
Formulas (at least the kind people typically use) are not Turing complete, so they are not as powerful as what most people associate with the word "code".

Edit: I know there are lots of people on the Internet saying you can simulate Turing machines in excel, but they're usually manually unrolling the computation in successive rows, which doesn't really count. For one thing, this style of simulation doesn't even allow one to make an infinite loop, let alone a more complex self-contained loop.

Across the pond they suggested to "eat out to help out". Very reasonable advice given the comorbidities.
