Perhaps... but my larger point is that a father doesn't have to decide to check out of the responsibilities in order to have his kid breast fed. Thanks to breast pumps a working mom can manage it, and there is a market for fresh breast milk sold by lactating mothers who have a surplus.
Does your username have anything to do with these experiences or is it just a serendipitous coincidence?
Was Golden Krishna paid to write this article, or did The Verge receive any compensation?

I ask because this is more or less an advert for his book. The introduction is presented in the third person to introduce the excerpt, and the closing is a pitch on why you should buy the book.
Yeah, they should drop all the frills. And those seats without backs looks terribly uncomfortable if not unsafe.
I don't know if it is just my incompetence, but I wanted to mention is that it can be unclear what the citizens want unless you cycle through all the available overlays and check things out.

I feel like they could definitely summarize important counters for you so you don't always have to click 10 times to get all the information on your city. This is especially true early game when your city is expanding by leaps and bounds and you keep hitting electricity/water supply issues.

Like all things we should take caution with how we embrace new advancements. There is a history of humans screwing ourselves up in the name of progress(mercury & lead poisoning,asbestos & iridium usage, even sand in bread in ancient Egypt)

Can we shy away from these advancements in the name of safety? No-that is not how progress is made. What the critical point is that we should be more careful in vetting how we as society do/deal with things without the influence of money or power. This maybe a far-fetched utopia delusion but the only thing that will keep us from wiping ourselves out as a species. The world is getting smaller and the actions of a few are affecting more and more everyday.

Heck, ask a AWS engineer to go pull a plug somewhere. Watch the tech world burn.
I feel that this was and is a super myopic view to hold, while it's true that most of the worlds news probably doesn't affect you directly, it will almost certainly affect you indirectly, since you live in the world.

It boils down to the same reason you should vote, sure you probably won't swing any elections, but in the same way your voting might influence politicians into listening to the things you care about, by being aware what is happening in and around your city/country/planet you make it harder for people doing shady shit who rely on general public apathy to get away with it.
Does Typed Racket give you a way to run your whole program through a typechecker without executing the code? Because catching type errors at compile time is a major benefit you get from a static type checker, that you wouldn't get from just runtime type checking.

I don't care about how the war in Iraq is going.... I don't care how many people are dying in a genocide on the other side of the world.

I am sure this is not quite how you mean it, but to me this comes across as saying "if it doesn't affect my life, or my friends, then who cares." You should care about things that don't directly impact your life -- partly because you can make a difference in these things, sometimes, if you get involved.

Time to get out of the shire and see the world, bilbo.
Noam Chomsky on the Roots of American Racism
Thinkpads are pretty awesome, to be honest. Best keyboard of any laptop (even the new chiclet style), they don't overheat on your lap, they're pretty much bulletproof, and replaceable parts means the laptop is serviceable for a longer life-span (after all, parts like batteries have a limited life, shame to throw away a nice laptop because the battery pack is running at less than 50% capacity after a few years of use).
I wish we could have written the documentation for my current project in the browser instead of LaTeX.

But the need to produce good PDFs killed the idea.

Apple no longer allow use of Objective C garbage collection on the MacOS App Store (it was never supported on iOS). This doesn't effect third-party garbage collection and there's no requirement for third-party languages to use ARC (it wouldn't be practical for most of them, anyway, though there is an AOT-compiled Ruby that uses it).
You have gone past the point of healthy skepticism to unquestioning cynicism. The status quo can't be changed? Are you kidding? Is that why we still have slavery in the U.S., women can't vote, homosexuals can't marry, etc?

Change may be imperceptible day to day or year to year, but over the long term, it has been profound and there's no reason to believe it will not continue to be. In a decade's time marijuana will likely be legal in most of the U.S. and the drug war a shadow of its former self. In a decade's time I expect more legal protections for transgender people.

If this is the product of a corrupt, self-serving political system, then perhaps those are good qualities for a political system to have.
Yeah, originally everything was open, we didn't even require a login to upvote/comment/etc. Then some folks from ISIS came on and started trying to muck everything up, so we had to throw a gate on it (banning by IP was just too chaotic). We'll add some more info to the gate soon.

My wife and just adopted and its hard not to feel second class when there's all this horse wisdom about breastfeeding, which just isn't an option for us. Thankfully, I don't see 1-3 IQ points as having any practical advantage. I could see perhaps 10+ as being meaningful. We're not even sure what IQ measures other than the ability to take IQ tests. I'm not saying the test is useless, but its a synthetic benchmark and the realm of 1 to 3 points may be meaningless itself, even though its measurable, the same way spending an extra $200 on my desktop will mean my games will go from 45fps to 60fps. I doubt I'd notice.

Its also bothersome that IQ is the only metric social and biological sciences take seriously. I'd love to see the results of different lifestyle choices on things like emotional intelligence or creative intelligence.

it's the best non-violent way for you to impact your world

Clearly parent disagrees that it impacts the world in any way; simply asserting it is probably not going to change their mind.

You know that's what the power structure wants right? An apathetic population.

Not voting does not mean being apathetic, and vice-versa.

How on earth can people look at our current situation, where the majority don't vote, and say it's working?

I don't think parent is saying it's working, or that the solution is to not vote, but that voting or not is irrelevant to the result, and therefore, why bother.
You might also want to look at the discussion of their TOS from yesterday: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9220210

Basically, the TOS disclaims pretty much everything claimed by their marketing material (ie. they are not a transportation company, don't claim to be one, don't make any guarantees or promises about what they do, etc; also, you are dependent on the bus driver to actually transport you because the driver is the 'third party' you are actually contracting with and they won't refund you if they fail to transport you [which they most definitely won't, because they aren't a transport company]).

I am on my 3rd Macbook in 6 years. All 3 are running great and have not had this issue.

I am one of the lone Mac users in my company and I can't imagine switching to the Dell laptops my coworkers have to use. They don't wear well, they require far more updates than my Mac. (I am on a rapid upgrade cycle because I am spoiled, not because my old ones no longer meet my needs).

I'd also observe that "ability to live within ones means" is not necessarily a "richer or poorer" thing. There are those who will always live within, say, 80% of their free income until you literally hit the bottom where you can no longer survive, and there are those who will always live within 125% of their income, even if you give them a 25% raise every single year of their life. The first of these is marriable, the second effectively isn't.

(Note my complete lack mention of any gender whatsoever, or any other characteristics. Regardless of what the population statistics may be based on any traits a person may have, what matters is whether this person standing in front of you can live within their means, and anyone has the capacity to pass or fail this test.)

An alternative comment (that would likely be more useful and spark more interesting conversation) might focus on listing the ways in which you see public transportation in SF as broken, and thoughts on how they might be sustainably (and profitably) fixed.
I'll be interested to see how this works from afar in New York. To my mind it's likely to just make for more traffic and not take a sizable number of cars off the road, but I'd love to be proven wrong.

> the problem here is literally that you will find that what you've bought can't be resold for anything like what you bought it for,

What does this have to do with an "open market price"? Most anything bought at retail price will not have the same resale value, that's just how resale markets work. They buy at wholesale and sell at retail. Pieces of jewelry and whatnot are not commodity bundles you can trade on a liquid market.

Retail art pieces aren't any different.. High dollar art trades at auctions (again, lots of liquidity), that's why they're easier to resell. But if you sink five grand into a piece from some gallery, good luck reselling it.

Take away the bus-style seats, and it's now more like a tram/trolly/subway/european busses, from the rider's perspective.

This open layout is vastly better than the traditional US bus layout. Feels safer, less trapped. This is the right direction to be going, as public transportation in most of the rest of the world has already proven long ago.

I totally agree. If I hadn't purchased AppleCare and I was asked to pay $700 for the repair, I would be very upset! This is clearly a manufacturing defect, and Apple will eventually have to address it in a systematic way.

Thanks for the feedback. What "visuals" are you referring to that don't make you want to stay?

It's tough for me to grasp what someone wants/needs to stick around. Right now we have a pretty good core of hardcore news junkies that come every day, and maybe that's OK for the curation/fact-checking side of things, but what do you want/need?

We're adding a "background" area to each news item. That was an issue that I didn't really have at first because I sit there and watch the news all day, but turns out not everybody is like me :). That may take a couple weeks along with all of the other changes we need to make, but it will be in there.
I predict there will be protesting.
But most of it was not gas.

The most ironic thing I think about this piece is that he claims not to have followed the news since he was 13 and has drawn this conclusion...

Having spent a large portion of my life keeping up with the news, other than a few minor quibbles about semantics, I'm inclined to draw the similar conclusions.

Most of what is presented is not news, it's politically slanted propaganda relating to daily events that further the political position of the network that owns that media outlet - this goes the same for papers, TV and radio. They only bring in "experts" that corroborate their own viewpoint, and when opposing opinions stray too far from their party line and cannot be discredited, they're let go. It happens time and again, and eventually you have to wonder why you continue to allow your own perspectives to be influenced by their agenda.

It's gotten to the point where I'm so tired of wading through all the bullshit to find facts or something remotely resembling truth that I frequently wonder why I bother...

We all know at this point that what goes on behind the closed doors of Government doesn't even closely resemble "legal" or "constitutional" and when they get busted, they "welcome public debate" and change the law or reinterpret the constitution to allow their illegal or unethical behaviour to continue and discredit anyone against that as at best unpatriotic or at worst a traitor... you get to a point where you wonder which side is the side of truth and righteousness. Does any of it matter? Is it all just bullshit, distracting us from greater things...?

気　气 and 氣 are actually not merged by han unification, and could be described as similar to similar to Ä and Æ: shared etymology, same meaning, some languages decided to use a simpler character because the old one was too complicated to write.

The variations on characters which have been merged are usually even closer than that. More like the single or double storey "a", or the single or double loop "g".

We see the "frontend" as a daily email that goes out or an app with a daily push notification that says "Hey, here you go, the best news of the day in 30 seconds." So the hours of work that the people are putting in on the back-end really just reduces the amount of time for the end user. We could probably hire five people to do that, but it's important to us that it's democratic and open.

Best advice is read a lot of writeups on failed startups more than successful ones (if that's your goal). You learn more by seeing where people could have done better than by studying those that for the most part got lucky (yes they worked hard too, but sometimes timing, connections, location, etc. doesn't work out).

If you're looking toward just being successful in your career, that's a different line of study (how to win friends and influence people, etc.).

If you'd like to have an actual discussion, shoot me your email. I'd meet the criteria for failed startup founder (I'm on #7 or 8 right now, too lazy to go review how many failed I've had :-)

True on the traffic. Sure, the game isn't perfect. However, one of the successes of Skylines has been the honest tone and communication with the developers. There's a sense of confidence that the game will be supported and improved over time. This didn't exist with Sim City 5, what with the always-online drama, the inability to play the game well for several months after release, and the early focus on producing large amounts of paid [overpriced?] DLC.

You are probably right if the data you're representing is scaled, but this sort of solution is fantastic for categorical data. Also, see other comments re: accessibility for colorblindness. Not necessarily a silver bullet, but possibly a solid solution in some circumstances.
From the article: "In 1946, a new advertising campaign appeared in magazines with a picture of a doctor in a lab coat holding a cigarette and the slogan, “More doctors smoke Camels than any other cigarette.” No, this wasn’t a spoof. Back then, doctors were not aware that smoking could cause cancer, heart disease and lung disease."

No, this is a complete fabrication, doctors and researchers were well aware that cigarettes were carcinogenic and caused other lung ailments. Isaac Adler proposed the link in 1912 to lung cancer. The first animal and human studies showing the links started in the 1930s and the connection was well established by the mid-1940s.

The reason why the advertisement advertised "More doctors smoke Camels than any other cigarette" is because the general public was becoming aware of the problems with tobacco and the advertisers wanted to use the authority of doctors to create a sense of that their cigarettes were safe without talking about cancer and lung disease.

The FSF has this bizarre belief that companies write some software, and right before it gets shipped, pick the license under which to distribute it [1]:

When we explain to the employer that it is illegal to distribute the improved version except as free software, the employer usually decides to release it as free software rather than throw it away.

Our hapless employer wrote some amazing software, but then found out that they had to give it away! Hah, joke's on them!

As I said in my message, I covered that with the "retailer premium", which I understand exists for a reason, which I describe. That reason does not cover the degree to which you can not resell the ring, which is absurdly large. Also observe that despite technology recently being able to make "forgeries" ever better, this inability to resell at anything like what you paid for it has been true for decades.
