Jobs delaying treatment likely made it worse for him, but I don’t think it’s fair to say his disease was curable. Especially when compared to something like melanoma that’s 90% for five year survival [1].

Had his fruitarian tendencies led to him dying of hepatitis or something, that’s a different story.

Many who join Mensa are/were developmentally gifted children/adults. For many such folks, finding a peer group with similar experiences (owing to them being precocious, not fitting in, not often meeting people with similar interests -- especially before the advent of the Internet) was/is generally harder (or at least low probability).

Mensa was one avenue where they could bond over those shared experiences with people of like-mind. It certainly wasn't perfect -- gifted children often struggle with loneliness and isolation, and don't have the easiest time with social interactions, hence the manifested social dysfunction in certain local chapters -- but sometimes it works out and they find a community of diverse individuals with whom they relate (as was my case).
Roads, healthcare, education, infrastructure, military are things most people would probably be able to respond. Also the money they're giving to the government isn't tied to their identity in any way other than how well they're doing financially.
Make sure you're at least well compensated for it. At least 2x to make it worth your while IMO.
I would agree with that, and indeed I used it for many years, were it not for it's performance. It's just atrocious under a big library. I would constantly get assaulted with what I could only assume were garbage collection pauses, the interface would constantly freeze in the most inopportune times.

It also had a pretty silly bug that went unfixed the entire time I used it where it would (rarely, triggered while moving around the playlist) say it's playing song X but in reality it's playing song Y.
Does this mean we remove articles in ++ version of English ? You have my vote :)
You have a point! The goal though is not for one FUND to support they entire ecosystem but for many funds supporting it. 1k from one fund and 3k from another for example + recurring subscriptions from individuals, end up adding up. (disclosure, I am OC co-founder)
Yeah, the "Libre" vs. "Liberal" thing was very odd, especially as I've never, ever, ever, seen anyone use FLOSS to mean anything other than "Free/Libre OSS".

I just wondered what his open source credentials were, so to speak, I mean, his Github is okay looking I guess? Just the comments about his speeches at OSCON sounded like he's a heavy hitter in this area.
Though I lean more toward individual rights than most, I've always had a problem with like-minded friends who pushed Ayn Rand books at me. I just don't get how a work of fiction is going to convince me that the world works a certain way. Obviously I could write a story where people were collectivists and everything turned out just fine.

If you want to convince people of how the world works, use real-world evidence. Make your case for why more individualistic societies have fared better/worse, dig out stats, and tell me how you see the connections.

As for economics, the more I studied it in and after college, there more I see that ecology is what economics courses actually need to contain. The interaction of agents with the environment, leading to changes in both, is just like the economy. All the weird stuff you see on Attenborough has a business-world analog. It's also a refreshing pause from applying inappropriate mathematical abstractions that eat up a heck of a lot of time.
I think your opinions are obnoxious and advocating the removal of a persons rights based on his lack of social skills is such a low mark I think that by your own logic, YOU shouldn't be allowed at those meetings.

Now, luckily, I don't hold the same odd values you do, and will gladly invite you to any event I might organise once Corona is over.I just hope this turning of the tables can open your eyes to a different perspective.
That would enshrine the exact misunderstanding that this thread is trying to correct. Free software is not necessarily gratis.
Does a take home eliminate the onsite interview? Or is it just additional time?
Just for sports.

> I’d rather just pay Microsoft than use a scheme where I pay by the number of dependencies.

So you wouldn't want to support OSS, you would rather support a company.

> I would not contribute to commercial packages where my labor benefits some org.

That would be your call for sure.

> And I would still release packages under a permissive license that allows for reuse without any compensation to me.

This would be your prerogative as well.

Let's pretend we have in place the infrastructure. A place where anyone can submit a bill of usage, and do payments, and this holds the payments and a person can register their software there. For your use case it would have even the possibility of you redirecting the funds you don't want into other projects. Perhaps a badge on your profile, "redirector", "open hands", wtv.

Let's imagine that every piece of software besides a "readme.md" file, has a file describing its dependencies. NPM would be able to do this like they can build a dependency graph. Your OS would be able to do this because each programs/lib would be able to do this/provide their own.

Let's say there's a piece of software that can pick all these little files and coalesce them into a single one.

Now you could build a "package" of what it would cost you, see what is in there and then just make it part of your monthly payroll.

There's no bureaucracy. If you are a company using software and not paying for it, you would be under breach of contract and could be sued legally.
My first thought about “English++” is the Newspeak from 1984(like doubleplusgood). When I find this project is only a English textbook, I sighed with relief.
>North America currently faces a 40% imbalance; which means that for every 100 containers that arrive only 40 are exported. 60 out of every 100 containers continue to accumulate, which is a staggering figure considering the China to USA trade route sustains on average 900,000 TEUs per month.

>The scrapping of containers now exceeds the building of new ones, causing inventories in factories to plummet. It will take months before more vessels and containers are built, meaning capacity likely won’t normalize until Q2 2021.

Interesting, try to buy one and they are charging and arm and leg. About 10-15 years ago you could pick up an old 40 FT container for about $500. Today you could go to a yard that has 10000 stacked and rusting containers and they want $2k plus to buy a beat up one.

Here is a 20 Ft beat to shit for $3600

Judging from where free software has gotten, I'd say he's quite good at what he does.
Well, not all libre software is gratis.
Maybe author refers this aspect:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Objectivism

> Rand described Objectivism as "the concept of man as a heroic being, with his own happiness as the moral purpose of his life, with productive achievement as his noblest activity, and reason as his only absolute".

Cooperation seems to be means to achieve personal goals. Which brings us to the thesis of the article.

Why would objectivist care about climate change which will have effect in 100 years, but requires them to sacrifice something today?
I live in Saitama, I used to live in Canada. Thus I think the editor is blind to the differences.

In Canada you commute by driving fast along large roads, what would be highways in Japan. While in Saitama, and most of Japan car commutes, you drive on much smaller roads. You often need to stop for lights. At any time a moped might drive next to you in your own lane. Over all the experience leaves little attention to spare and the drive is never monotonous.

Meanwhile in Canada the driving was longer overall, and always with large stretchs at high speeds with no stopping once on the highway. Mopeds and motorbikes are not allowed to sneak by you. When the highway backs up you've find yourself driving for 30+ minutes without turning.

Saitama backs up too, but more because many intersections have no dedicated turning lanes. Thus a driving turning left will block everyone behind. When traffic is bad a couple intersections near my house often let no more than 3 cars per cycle through.

Personally I expect the audiobook market to be about the differences in commuting. On trains it is easier to read a book than to wear headphones. In cars your attention is constantly demanded.

In exchange commuting by car implies a shorter commute. I can commute into the core of Tokyo from Saitama in only 30 minutes. Parking costs 30 dollars for the day, and highway tolls cost 14 dollars in total, but it saves me otherwise unbillable time and thus makes sense for my situation.

OK. Because Fossil is awesome you can disallow people from changing their own passwords, while also making it possible to create further accounts that can change their own passwords. Nice!

[EDIT: A few misconceptions here. No, you can't do the above; if a user couldn't change their password but could create new admin accounts, said new admin account could just change the initial user pw.]

Google spying on you is the least of your worries, they are the most transparent of all the big tech companies if you ever manage to dig into your Google profile these days.

If anything Google is so far ahead they are advocating more privacy and less data being sent if you choose, because they don't sell it directly to people like a local grocery store with its own app or Amazon does.

Federated learning AI is basically making it where Google can continue to have all the benefits of massive data mining without any personal information ever having to leak out
What if prosocial behaviour isn't the best option for the individual?
This has changed a lot since the internet has become so widespread, but from my past experience:

What I think has helped me a lot learning English, is just how ubiquitous it is and how easy it is to find resources that align with your other life interests to make it feel less like "learning".

I probably learned half of my basic English as a kid, not trough school, but with Magic The Gathering cards (once I learned they are valued higher than the translated ones), MS-DOS, 80s/90s action movies and bit later Terry Pratchett books. Others learned trough reading English instruction manuals, watching NBA, music lyrics, etc.

For other language it was much harder to find resources outside of traditional educational approaches. Which are useful and important as well, but they lack immersion.
> Intelligent people are accepted. Understood? Not so much, but they are accepted.

Accepted because you conform to a certain societal expectation is not really acceptance. And if they were truly understood

> I clearly speak of people I know: "The people I know", "Those aforementioned people". Also, they often did do one, maybe two of these things, but their life wasn't balanced at all.

So not just anecdotal data, but highly subjective anecdotal data. That's not convincing at all.

> Nobody should think too much.

Nobody should run too fast, lift too much, be too tall, be too short, be too good at anything. Don't ever risk making the average even the slightest bit uncomfortable.

I’m not sure we’re interpreting that passage the same way, and I know nothing about this incident beyond these two articles, but I imagine most people involved would agree on these values:

1) “Academic freedom” should include the ability to speak truths that may be politically unpopular, regardless of format, and this includes critique of any academic content, ideologically-driven or not

2) Harassment or deliberate inducement of harassment, or actions that are likely to result in harassment, are not ok, and this includes both Twitter mobs doxxing and academic harassments

These really parallel the whole “free speech” values: say whatever you want, but don’t yell fire in a crowded theater.

In neither case should anyone be forced to listen to you if they don’t like what you say.

It’s hard to tell from these two opinion pieces alone what actually happened here (at least, without some serious reading-between-the-lines, as the two accounts appear to reflect entirely different universes), but I’m curious where (if at all) people disagree on these principles.
To be pedantic, Android is under Apache[1] license, not GPL. And the apps you install in Android are (and can be) closed source (most of them).

The hypothetical scenario you describe is the one where you build Linux from scratch and you find a spyware. And this, AFAIK, is not happening right now, and one of the reasons is because it's open source and you can build it from the source code.

Maybe, but you would think Germany wouldn’t make the list again afterwards after losing talent/knowledge. So, it could also be showing the affect of a war torn country split East and West and how long it took to regain the population to support film.

Why would you not update your phone security updates? Do you even read anything about Android updates. It's extremely important for vital security flaws if you use any sort of modern apps.

It's a huge advocate of keeping all my data private but now knowing how useful it is to anonymize, encrypt and use it all on my device with things like Google Pay, I strongly advocate if you're using Google or Samsung services to update.

Plus these updates usually are Android level and not related to Samsung or Google
Not necessarily or directly, no.

This is a good and underappreciated point. With collectivism the idea inherently implies "do what is good for the group at the cost of the individual." I argue that we should do what is in our best interest, which will often mean cooperation and working with the group (as long as it is beneficial for both). People treat "individualism" as though one will just wander off into the woods and begin eating tree bark and never speak with or cooperate with another human again.

For anyone who thinks "collectivism" is superior, think about employment. Do you really think people should take no pay and work on things they don't enjoy because it serves the collective (e.g. company)? If not, how do you decide which collective to join (e.g. Nazi Germany vs Charity Org), or does the collective decide that too? I argue deciding what collectives to voluntarily support is the ultimate act of individuality, and also keeps a check on the corruption by allowing a person to leave at will.

> Prediction: By mid-2022 there'll be a glut of containers. All the publicity around the present shortage will induce manufacturers to ramp up capacity.

From someone else quoting TFA:

>> Anticipating major industry collapse, the Carrier Alliances showed remarkable discipline in aligning supply with demand as early as February; removing trade capacity from the seas by halting vessels and shipments. By doing so, the erosion of ocean rates was kept to a minimum. Basing their reaction on potential worst case scenarios, shipping carriers artificially created under-capacity. This made available space come at a premium and therefore significantly raised the cost of container shipping, stabilizing revenues for carriers.

It seems the constraint is artificial.

It's only for devs with commit bits—not random users. So not likely to be buried in feature requests and much more likely to be just a couple messages being passed back and forth between developers of the project. I feel it streamlines the process and improves cohesion a great deal; more of a long-sighted deal—but I'm only a random opinionated passer-by.
I would very much welcome that on my Linux install.
Those two things aren’t connected. Also, many people do care about solving this puzzle, both for the sake of cryptography and for the chance it will provide closure to the case, if not justice, at this point.

That is a very interesting idea. I never considered that freedom can either contain or exclude liberty, depending on who you are talking to. But i'm still pretty sure that you can't confuse the term 'liberty', as it has a more defined meaning, regardless of cultural contexts. What changes is the value associated with the ideal.

Every people on Earth strives for freedom, but the form of this freedom may be different in every cultural context. In the Western tradition, as developed by John Stuart Mill, Frederick Bastiat, Thomas Paine and John Locke, etc., this means liberty which is characterised by an emphasis on negative rights, freedom from government, and individualism.

I do not think that the people of Kashmir consider liberty when they ask for freedom, but rather mean freedom in the way that the OP defines it, as only being democratic self-governance.
Indeed, it reminds me of Jordan Peterson’s remark that every household is communist.

The stereotypical French speaker who has trouble with English [h] would definitely have the same problem with the Japanese [h], [ç] and [ɸ]. If they can't manage the tongue placement for English [θ], how are they supposed to handle Japanese [ɕ] and [ʑ]? And that's just the consonants.

Usually when someone thinks that language X has all the sounds of language Y, it's a speaker of language X who hasn't yet realized that their ears are too attuned to language X to recognize the sounds of language Y as something different. Don't trust your ears!

Of course, but even $500 per month is more than $0.

> Yup. Open ocean. Because that just creates incentive to make a looooong dependency list.

Well, perhaps no? Since those things don't get into your list by themselves I would think that it would incentivise the opposite. If whatever lib you're using has 100 dependencies, one for left-pad, the other for right, one for switching underscores for hyphens, this would make someone come and say, I can make this with much less cruft.

But still, if the dependencies are repeated across dependencies they wouldn't increase. So if you use 2 packages that both use say "curl", for your "bundle" it would still be only 1 entry for curl.

I have an Asus laptop I bought 6 or so years ago that I loaded Mint Linux onto when I found I hated Windows 8. That thing is still working perfectly. Every other device seems to slow down with every single update until it's almost unusable. The tablets have all slowly degraded. The phones are worthless junk that barely even runs now. My Windows 7 laptop isn't worth the space it takes up, even after a system restore.

Yes, I want a Linux phone please! Especially one I can get parts and batteries for. Something with a removable battery even. Although I must admit, Motorola does a pretty good job with their unlocked Android phones.
Never had such a calculator, but probably you are right.
I was wondering the same thing. I've been told that in Spanish, you use the neuter when you don't know what the correct gender for something should be. As in:

"Te deseo lo mejor"

"I want the best for you"

In that phrase, the speaker doesn't know what gender "the best" is, so neuter is used.
Being 'in a field' is not rigidly bounded but it is hardly imaginary. It doesn't matter where a good point comes from but where a point comes from has a huge impact as to whether a point is good.

Being in a field means you are familiar with the content and style of discourse. You speak the language, even if the language is always English. You know how to communicate ideas within group norms. That is useful because it aids shared meaning making in any form of communication.

If I stood up as an educator at a ACM conference and started talking about 'normalizing to C+' there is serious potential for misunderstanding that I'm talking about grading whereas y'all might think I'm talking about programming languages. We make meaning of information in context as human beings, some of that context is local (e.g., the rest of what I'm reading) some of it is regional (dialectic, people who ask me at restaurants in my area 'do you want a coke' and then clarify what kind because coke is a euphemism for soda not Coca Cola)...some of it is even broader. The key thing is not all of it is shared, and context is key to inferring or constructing shared meaning.
