I was saying that some people decide to live without money (modern life nomads, they even exist in well known cities like Berlin) and some live in an environment were money is not part of life (thinking of the area around the Amazon river or maybe some steppe villages somewhere in Africa). According to that definition they are considered "poor" but actually they are not considering themselves that way.

Now if you go and throw money at them they might not even be able to do anything with that.

So, maybe that definition is not a good one. Poverty is not equal to having little money. It is more related to education, having one's basic needs fulfilled and opportunity (to travel, to build a house, etc).

Also Money does not come alone. It comes with the corresponding culture. And while at first people are happy about all the new things they can get, in the end they are quite frustrated because their own identity, culture and values are suddenly non existant in their environment. So yeah, increasing one's spending power can indirectly be harmful, even if you don't make anything off it.

You are right, that I may have explained that in more detail up front. But I think it's possible to see that in the first comment. It's just that many people start reading a text with a strong opinion in mind before they even start, which leads them to complete wholes in argumentation with assumptions which are very far off. I did at no point say anything about actions that should be taken, like not giving people money who need it. I was simply adding another point of view.

> It's a juvenile, poorly thought out argument.

If someone doesn't say that and you consider it a poor argument, why do you assume that was someone's opinion. Is that logical? Is it funny looking back after reading this longer text, how I was actually adding a point of view with empathy for people not considered by this definition of empathy instead of not having some for people who really need more money?
> "Aircraft surveillance has become an indispensable intelligence collection and investigative technique which serves as a force multiplier to the ground teams," the FBI said in 2009 when it asked Congress for $5.1m for the program.

Holy military state, Batman! It seems that the FBI has really taken to heart the change in mission statement from "law enforcement" to "national security"[1].

> The surveillance flights comply with agency rules, an FBI spokesman said. Those rules, which are heavily redacted in publicly available documents, limit the types of equipment the agency can use, as well as the justifications and duration of the surveillance.

Given the duration and location of these aircraft, it's very hard to see how these aren't an illegal search, given the past few years of judicial rulings[2][3]. It's become very clear that collecting movement data, even if that movement data is public, requires a warrant. No wonder the FBI wants to keep a layer of fake companies between it and these planes. Also, if you do collect wide area data for a specific target, can you keep the wide area data for use later on for another purpose?

I volunteer for an organization[4] that works with cities to adopt privacy policies regarding the data they collect, receive, and share. To date, our privacy policies have mostly been focused on disclosing how local offices are sharing local data (license plate readers, stingrays, etc.) with the feds, but now it seems we need to add sections about disclosing incoming data feeds from the feds.

Its like an elderly aunt reminding you to take your umbrella. What does she take you for, a child? Especially annoying if you've forgotten your umbrella.
I'm missing some definitions here. Not sure if I didn't see something, but what are they assuming in terms of number of hours/week and what does "two-bedroom housing wage" mean: is this just the wage at x hours/week that allows you to rent the average 2BR or does it include some other kind of spending like food? Because what does it help if minimum wage pays for the apartment but I can't eat?
On a different note, in relation to everyone asking why 2BR is important: please just imagine being a single parent with, say, 1-2 kids and a minimum wage job.
Most Americans believe the "one child policy" limits families to one child. Then they extrapolate conclusions based on how they imagine that might be enforced. It's like someone thinking the American "Affordable Healthcare act" made healthcare in America affordable. And then they guess "oh, that law probably limited how much hospitals and doctors could charge or something". "So that probably made it harder for hospitals to make money, right? I don't care enough to find out whether that's true, but it makes sense." "Hey, an article about a healthcare merger in the US. I'll comment on it since I know all about why this is happening."

Still, I'd interpret the numbers the same way as I would "extends battery life 50%," which I can easily imagine someone writing.

This might be a strange parallel to try and draw, but I wonder if you could put Steve Wozniak into that category as well. I mean, he is a electronics nerd not an indie game developer, but at his core he was never built to be an executive at a successful company any more than Notch is.

I think you're right, and it makes me sad. The reflexive urge to downvote cultural criticism is a pretty bad one--we as people (not "tech people", but people) need to be forever vigilant against making the world a worse place. We do it a lot. But that responsibility is not terribly fashionable.

Men have always been dispensable. Eggs are expensive and sperm are cheap. This is the basis of most gender roles.
Pardon, it might have been a trivial example. I managed to find a real-world example I encountered in February this year.

The PAPI library has a utility program papi_avail which prints a table of supported performance counters. The lines may look like this:

PAPI_VEC_SP 0x80000069 Yes Single precision vector/SIMD instructions
PAPI_VEC_DP 0x8000006a Yes Double precision vector/SIMD instructions
PAPI_REF_CYC 0x8000006b No Reference clock cycles

For a course project, I wanted to turn this into a C-array like this:

{PAPI_VEC_SP, "Single precision vector/SIMD instructions"},
{PAPI_VEC_DP, "Double precision vector/SIMD instructions"},
{PAPI_REF_CYC, "Reference clock cycles"},

Using :norm, this transformation can be achieved in the following way:

:'<,'>norm I{^[eldedecw, "^[A"},

(where ^[ is a literal escape, typed CTRL-V ESC.)

Anecdotally, it is faster for me to type up such a line than an equivalent regular expression, since I use vi normal mode commands much more than regular expressions.
FWIW, I've been running our business on Stripe for four years, and we've been hit with all sorts of legal threats by the government, individuals, and other companies (we're also currently suing the CIA). I couldn't recommend them more highly, based on our own experience and talking to others in the space.

We've done full refunds, partial refunds, and had one unfortunate chargeback with zero problems. Their customer service has always been incredibly fantastic, and the money is in our bank two days after it gets charged. The one issue we've had is that they given super vague answers when our users trip their fraud detection algorithm, simply stating the "charge was declined" and telling us to check with the user's bank, when it was actually the fact that the user had been using the card via a Tor proxy in Nigeria. I think the security opacity is understandable, and each time they helped us work through the issues.

tl;dr: I'm sympathetic to the poster, but Stripe seems to do whatever they can to get the money to you quickly, and their customer support has been great despite running a business with customers that regularly use Tor, fake names, etc.

Ah, thank you so much for sharing this. We have just been working on a Stripe integration in addition to PayPal, but we're going to find someone else now. It doesn't appear worth the risk.
Is it high-risk though? Or is it just perceived that way? It wouldn't surprise me if Stripe and/or the banks saw the word "weed" and shat a brick without actually performing any kind of analysis.
Optional power delivery? Optional nowadays just mean "will be removed before even reaching production"

Your point is taken, but we also have to consider if that would even be possible. 100W is not a power level that a laptop device is going to be able to output, so it clearly can't be standard. It's good to have a standardised option, however.

You are ignoring the fact that the laws in Washington State do not trump Federal laws. Your entire business was built in direct opposition to Federal Law.

You helped organize, manage, and facilitate drug trade as far as the Fed is concerned.

Stripe is in the banking industry -- heavily regulated by the Fed. They can't have customers knowingly violating Federal law, and potentially passing drug money (again, as far as the Fed is concerned) through their network. It's a huge risk to them.

You cannot blame Stripe for shutting you down.

It's irresponsible and downright ridiculous to blame Stripe for your business's dealings and/or shortsightedness.

You weren't "Fucked" by Stripe... you "Fucked" yourself.
" it's just amazing how stagnant the official versions are compared to the thousands of mods my son watches reviews of."

Preach it, fellow parent and Amiga user! :D

It's like Mojang hit upon success and didn't know what to do next. From an outsider's point of view, by late 2013 the company didn't seem to really have any vision or direction besides arranging the next Minecon. That year saw the release of versions 1.6 and 1.7, which both contributed greatly to the game's content and replayability.

Then 2014 rolled around, and it took pretty much the entire year for Mojang to release one version that added a couple of blocks, flags, and still didn't contain the long-requested and (supposedly) long-worked-upon Plugin API for modders.

Makes you wonder where Minecraft would be today if they had kept their initial energy and focus.

Where USA stacks up to Materinity Leave compared to other countries.

1. Sweden offers the most generous maternity leave policy, with 56 weeks paid at 80 percent of citizens' salary, and 13 additional weeks paid at a fixed rate thereafter.

2. In some central European countries, the standard maternity leave is three years.

3. Adoptive parents and same-sex parents get parental leave in the U.K., Canada, France, and yes, Sweden.

4. There is still zero mandated maternity leave benefits in the U.S., although companies with over 50 employees are obligated to offer three months of unpaid time off under the Family and Medical Leave Act.

5. This makes the U.S. one of only four countries in the world with no required paid maternity leave. The others are Liberia, Swaziland, and Papua New Guinea.

They should quit, then. It sounds like this poor guy did quit, but then inexplicably went back. At any rate, these are highly educated, competitive people. They would easily be employable in any number of other industries, anywhere in the world.

> Women no longer pressured to marry young in order to survive, can focus on careers.

And what great mothers this produces, with happy and balanced kids all around, right? Err, somehow, I fail to see many around me, but I am sure this is just local situation. Maybe you are happy just by pursuing career, but most have to find happiness elsewhere.

The thing is, women don't really have such a big window as men when they are considered attractive for dating or starting a family. And then you have fertility issues sooner. The world ain't fair in this topic, but things are as they are.

> Women empowered to leave abusive, philandering husbands.

In current modern empowered world, there are as many bad wives as bad husbands (yes, anecdotal, but somehow real in my experience). Women don't tend to resort to physical violence, but there are other ways to behave badly in relationships.
But is it really a "drug" if it's not in a pill or food?

Maybe that's the issue?

I don't have a qualified answer but given he says it would take 24 minutes to crack a 256bit key and 3 days to do a 512bit, I would extrapolate (given exponentially difficulty as you add more bits) to roughly:

- 180x per doubling bit size would be
- 512 doubled twice, would mean 3 days * 180 * 180 = 97,200 days

I think you're safe.

But, ostensibly, there's going to be thunderbolt devices soon which, while having a USB Type-C plug, won't work in a regular USB port despite the Type-C plug.
Anyone here versed in the Swedish tax system? Is vested stock even viable under Swedish tax law?
It's a good point. With my current USB devices, I know that the short cable will charge my phone properly and the long one won't. I know that I've seen a 'charge only' cable. I'm not sure this will be fixed with the newer USB standards.
It's worth checking out their SaaS, WeedTraqr (https://weedtraqr.com) -- "Marijuana tracability, seed to sale, from your phone". They are located in Seattle, where marijuana is legal, and their app is a way for dispensaries and retailers to ensure compliance with the law.

In other words, they are doing the opposite of breaking drug laws.

Also of interest is their pricing page; their price tiers give you some hint of how much money is sitting untapped in this industry, and how generally underserved by software solutions it is, too.
Japan is so screwed! By 2060 there population will be 50% of what it was and only 32 million people will be under 65 years old!

After peaking seven years ago, at 128 million, Japan's population has been falling — and is on a path to decline by about a million people a year. By 2060, the government estimates, there will be just 87 million people in Japan; nearly half of them will be over 65. Without a dramatic change in either the birthrate or its restrictive immigration policies, Japan simply won't have enough workers to support its retirees, and will enter a demographic death spiral. Yet the babies aren't coming.

I actually have no problem with non-traditional marriages.

However, some form of "forsaking all others" is one of the most common vows. So, assuming it was part of the original covenant then it was clearly that convent was broken well before 'divorce.' Some groups go so far as to consider a couple divorced on the first infidelity.

Also, generally it’s not the initial cheating party that instigates divorce proceedings as your better off divorcing before infidelity than after. So, if we are talking about female divorcers then the infidelity would generally be on the male side (excluding LGBT).
