I don't think there's any simple answer to this.

On the most abstract level: it seems to come down to various related problems feeding into each other. People of color continue to be economically and socially disadvantaged, which plays into the negative perceptions that society might have toward them, which makes it more challenging to elevate oneself above such problems, which allows the cycle to repeat, generation after generation. So if a large portion of the population consciously or unconsciously sees a group as the lesser, then that perception reveals itself socially, legally, politically...that perception to some degree immutable on account of its existence. This simultaneously creates a counter-culture whereby the mainstream is rejected on account of the rejection it creates, which further feeds into the cycle of poor racial integration. In many ways, racial segregation is merely class segregation, it's just that blacks are disproportionately of lower socioeconomic class.

Without forcing oneself to be open-minded, one might immediately associate a black person with low income, poor education, "criminality" (I put that in quotes because laws don't practically apply to all races/classes equally [e.g. the war on drugs]), and then question "what will my friends/family think?" because even if one has abandoned his or her prejudices, he or she will still have to contend with everyone else.

It's overwhelming for me to even try paint a complete picture in a single comment. There's so many nuances to the situation that I feel like I'm already short-changing all of the relevant groups by being so general.

If I recall right, education for education sake did not lowered recidivism much. It made prisoners better behaved while in prison (e.g. there was less violence and less problems in prison).

I suspect that part of the problem with practical education for prisoners is that everybody else have to pay for it. So, law abiding (or not caught yet) citizens get all jealous about the perk they are not getting.

Android will almost certainly always be more customisable than iOS, the question for many users though isn't "which is more customisable?", it's "is it customisable enough for what I need/want to do?".

In this regard iOS8 begins to close off some of the more significant constraints iPhones and iPads have. For any given individual it may not go far enough but what's being introduced will almost certainly make it a better option for some people and some of those people may now buy iPhones instead of high end Android.

The point isn't that this brings the two platforms level, it's that iOS now competes for a small piece of the market where it previously didn't.

I think you miss the point and are being overly semantic.

There's no pricing information, and no link to pricing information available on the home page. I had to click "Free Trial" before there was a nav bar at the top I could click on.

With that being said, I love the idea of the product as it's a pain point for me. Unfortunately, I only have a handful of customers, so even the $20/m doesn't really make sense. It would be great to see a free plan for "up to" X customers, once you pass that threshold send me an email to upgrade my account.

As of right now I see it, I like it, I want it, but I can't justify it so it will be long forgotten by the time I'm ready to sign up. If I was able to sign up for a free plan today I would in a heartbeat, and would be happy to upgrade if I got an email remainder once I passed 25 customers.

Plus this article focuses on the depression founders face, but most of us aren't founders. And while I wouldn't say starting a company should make you depressed, it should be hard in some sense. There is an idea that it will suck for a while and then you'll succeed, or more generally that the suck has some sort of timebox around it.

But for people with jobs, we just... have jobs. Until we retire or die. So depression in that case is a bit more of a problem, I'd say.
> The delete action is being synced, therefore the contact should be deleted from B.

Yes, and that is exactly what I said in my post, the one that got downvoted -- there are special cases where the context can be used to decide which is the source and which the destination. But a source and a destination must always be selected.

> There's no directionality needed or implied, it's a merge of two trees.

Not in the general case, because there is no general case. How do you merge two directory trees having different file sets without knowing the operator's wishes? Does he want files missing from one tree to be deleted from the other, or does he want files missing from one tree to be restored from the other? The answer is that you ask him -- the operation cannot proceed automatically.

And for this obvious, technically correct insight, my posts get downvoted with perfect reliability.
> We're not the only industry that suffers from it

The article actually acknowledges that:

> Depression is hardly exclusive to tech. The disorder is the leading cause of disability worldwide, according to the World Health Organization, and costs employers billions of dollars a year in lost revenue. Multiple people I talked to for this story pointed out that entertainers are also known for melancholy. For writers and artists, neuroses are practically required.
No idea if HelloJS is a secure client or not, but it's possible. Here's a good resource for how Google offers purely client-side OAuth to API consumers: https://developers.google.com/accounts/docs/OAuth2

I believe this is only possible since OAuth2. One important aspect is that the API provider registers the consumer's key along with their domain, so API requests using that key are only valid coming from that domain.

Google Says Not to Worry About 5M 'Gmail Passwords' Leaked
With the risk of sounding like an elitist prick (not the intention, and I'm really not) that photo of a Patek Phillipe and Apple Watch side by side on his wrist to me screams: This is the way the world ends, not with a bang but a digital picture of a fake butterfly. A masterpiece of craftsmanship, good taste and skill, side by side with a mass market simulation of those all those things sporting a tacky, pointless image of an animal.

I'm not an Apple fan but I do appreciate their mostly good taste and design. However, this watch is hideous. It's the first object they produced since their resurrection in 1997 that I instantly find ugly. Really, really ugly. If it was an aeroplane it wouldn't fly well. I wouldn't bet it will be unsuccessful though, there's a lot of people with bad taste out there.
So true. I think it's the fact that the general public doesn't think startup founders (and employees) face depression that is the story. But the same can be true of many other professions too: doctors, lawyers, consultants, etc.

Not a stupid question as you've hit on the major strategic bit of news here that most people, I think, are missing.

Displays are cut from larger pieces of display material at a given PPI. So Apple focused on perfecting a 163PPI display material and then tended to use it on multiple products. They'd do the same thing for the retina display material as well (I think at one point the iPhone and iPad used the same display material and it was just cut to different sizes in making the display)

Apple could do this because they work so closely with their display manufacturers and they care so much about fidelity. It just happened that doing rigid multiples of the original display size was convenient for software as well.

However, displays have become more commoditized, especially retina resolution ones (at the time it was introduced, Apple was the only one shipping these kinds of displays in such volume) and Apple's volume has only increased over the years.

So we're seeing a shift to more commodity display production, I believe, because the commodity market has caught up with Apple's standards. Beyond 300 pixels per inch there isn't much advantage to higher density.

But there is a huge advantage to unit volumes of a display also used in portable TVs or whatever.

The software cost of downscaling isn't significant at this point so it is an economic change.

Secure the IOU with the valuable thing you brought.
the machines are overused. If more people decided to tolerate 80F as room temperature...we'd see a precipitous decline in energy usage

When I first moved into my current house I was setting the air conditioning at 78 degrees. Then I had my central AC unit serviced and the tech showed me little dots of mold throughout the inside of the unit in the basement. He told me not to set the thermostat above 75 degrees in the summer time because it doesn't get enough humidity out of the air. He also said to make sure I kept a dehumidifier running in the basement.

Now I keep the thermostat on 75 and keep the basement at 50% relative humidity using a dehumidifier in the summer. I also ended up installing a UV light inside the basement unit myself to kill microorganisms.

So it's easy to say to just tolerate higher temperature but the unfortunate thing is that high humidity levels inside a home can lead to serious issues.

Hunh? Developers work in terms of the "points" described in the first image.

The 6+ has an extra 39 points in height and 69 in width the 6; about 10% more real estate in each direction. Sure, it's not that much, but it's not nothing. It's an even bigger jump over the screens of the iPhone 5 and 4.
They have it for Ubuntu, but Ubuntu and Debian have somewhat diverged on how it is done. It is not a big issue for me on this build, but if I wanted to do large scale file servers and didn't want to stash a USB dongle in the box for root, it would be useful.

Although, I guess I could use FreeBSD if I didn't need KVM and/or Xen....

Great work, I signed up.
I love ZFS, and I love working with Linux, but I can't help but worry about using ZFS on Linux. Without the needed support from the kernel side, I don't see how it can be useful for production. I can see using it on personal workstations, but for any situation where data loss is critical, you just won't see any uptake. Because of the licensing, ZFS can never be anything more than a second-class citizen on Linux.

That said, I run a FreeBSD ZFS file server just to host NFS that is exported over to a Linux cluster. At least on FreeBSD, there is first-class integration of ZFS into the OS. (I used to also maintain a Sun cluster that had a Solaris ZFS storage server that exported NFS over to Linux nodes, which is where I first got a taste for ZFS).

So, I guess my main question is: In what use cases is ZFS on Linux so useful when native FreeBSD/ZFS support exists?

I'm not saying it can't be done - I just don't understand why.
Just checked this link again... It appears that Google has fixed the //search issue as it returns no results now.
Do you realize that every Retina Macbook Pro out there uses this "cheesy" resolution "hack"?

Tying the size and density of your display to software needs-- especially points that are arbitrary to begin with (as they are based on the original iPhone) seems silly and outdated.
(1) The iPhone 6+ has 421 dots per inch, which is in the lower ballpark of printing resolutions where you don't have pixel perfection either. It's not going to be a problem.

> Any big learnings you found during the process which you didn't anticipate starting out?

Always big learnings when it comes to rearing children.

Limiting in scope to my previous comment:

- I started with the "basics", which had nothing to do with browsing the internet (which came later.) Ease-of-use in services such as Google is a nightmare when it comes to providing a safe environment for your kids to explore. I think making the online world one of the latter components of exposure is best; otherwise, kids can get lost really fast in it's expanse. For anyone else following this approach, I'd say "keep it local".

- Kids are much more adept at technical adoption than adults. It speeds up conversations very quickly. For anyone else following this approach, I'd say be prepared to see what's coming. It will happen much faster than you might expect.

That doesn't matter. I don't think Objectivism is true. But, I do think it's an interesting and enlightening perspective, a lens through which some things can be better understood. I think trying to actually apply it as the political basis of a country would be a terrible idea.

The bottom line is that class and class dynamics are real i societies. Avoiding that lens entirely is avoiding reality, to an extent.

High income engineers are members of a certain a class. Most of the prison population are members of a different class. This is obviously true.

All I am saying is that when you look at something like the role of prison, you should probably look at it from that perspective.
Humans Could Be in the Middle of a Huge Evolutionary Transition
"there should be no fidelity loss"

Heh. Yes there will be, most notably on webpages, for example those with box borders defined as "1px solid" lines. The lines will look fuzzy and unequal. Check the last image at http://www.paintcodeapp.com/content/news/2014-09-11_iphone-6... : it shows a "1 CSS pixel" line rendered as 2 black lines + 2 grey lines (one of the greys is very, very light). Some lines will not be interpolated the same way: some will be 2 black lines + 1 grey line, some will be 1 black line + 2 grey lines, and the shade of the 2 greys will be unequal and will vary depending on their precise alignment on the 1080p physical grid. The end result is that some lines will look slightly thinner/lighter or slightly thicker/darker than others. Heck, on my Nexus 5 which has an even higher PPI (445 PPI) than the iPhone 6+ (401 PPI) I can still clearly notice this effect, when holding the phone at arm's length (and I don't even have 20/20 vision), when simulating the downsampling that the 6+ is going to have to do. I can do it by zooming out[1] to simulate an effective pixel ratio of ~2.61, which is equivalent to what the iPhone 6+ is really doing graphically (1080 physical pixels wide / 414 logical pixels wide = ~2.61).

Contrast this with most Android devices where it is possible to get pixel perfect rendering because most (but not all) of them use a non-fractional pixel ratio (1.0, or 2.0, or 3.0, or 4.0) and to my knowledge none do downsampling (though with thousand of devices on the market I am sure 1 or 2 obscure models do it).

[1] If you have a 1080p Android device with a pixel ratio of 3.0 (eg. Nexus 5, LG G2, Galaxy S4, HTC One M7, etc), you can simulate the downsampling of the iPhone 6+ by zooming out in your browser by a factor of 360/414 = 0.8696

Edit: I did NOT downvote you. I agree that for many apps it won't be noticeable, but it will be in some apps. Many users spend a lot of time in the browser, and many sites use 1px lines, and they will be a distracting artifact (unless Apple implemented a special hack to interpolate 1px lines in the browser - maybe Safari bypasses downsampling and forcibly rounds them up to 3 physical pixels, but then what about other browsers?)
While the GPS satellite has atomic clocks, the GPS device also requires an accurate oscillator that is synced with the satellites' clocks — it uses the satellite signals to approximate the actual time and uses that approximation to measure the time delay to each satellite's clock to estimate distance, using an iterative algorithm.
