I disagree.

The line between consensual, coerced or exploited are sometimes vague but they are real. It's like the pornography line. It's vague, some things are grey, it's culturally contextual but it is a real line. people usually know it when they see it.

When extremely disempowered, poor and desperate people interact with much richer, more powerful people who see them as just a means to an end and are completely contemptuous of their humanity (their dignity, their desires..), we cannot call this agency. If a university teacher dates a student or a boss dates an employee, we view it with suspicion because we know that dynamic can be abusive, though it is not necessarily so.

Sometimes things are what they seem. Sometimes a name on a dotted line or other symbol of agency means nothing. If you find a dozen girls from rural moldova living in an Istanbul basement, making almost no money, ostracized by society and another group of people making the money and the decisions… I think it's prudent to assume what seems obvious.
it may not be easy, but with the progress made by other game engines in last few months, running your game on linux is now a reality and as easy as making it for PC (with little effort).
What happened to "No one was fired for using Oracle or Microsoft" meme?
Couchsurfing did catch on.
You missed this paragraph:

> That stress appeared to be too much for at least one young woman at TJ, who goes by her nickname, Sara.

"Sara" is not her real name. That nickname, which helps the story from devolving into a mess of pronouns, is only decipherable to people at the school...and probably not even that, since there's likely to be more than one "Sara" there.
Release it as a beta - perhaps even for a reduced price and let the community provide bug reports or even submit fixes if parts are open sourced. This has worked very well for non-game software so the same principles likely apply at least in part.
supporting your game engine for Linux is great for overall PC game ecosystem and not just Linux. Also, for a casual gamer, its a win as they can probably buy a 20$ game and run it on a Linux laptop without needing to buy the PS machine. I mean, most of us run a i5 8gig laptop as a dev machine anyway.
Distributing tracks along CSS Grid Layout container
Indeed MetaES may be a way to pave a path to new kind of development. Bret Victor's work, LightTable, Swift Playground and others proved that small improvements are possible. I believe though, that next bigger step requires new fundamentals and metacircular interpretation plus smart IDE and partial evaluation may be very interesting.

I don't know honestly what's going to pop up along the way, but with MetaES we can get smart completion and better debugging experience in popular editors for sure, it just requires more work and care.
Even better, the subtitle reads: "Researchers at New York’s Columbia University harness the element’s natural process"
I always have it on. I'm already being tracked using Wi-fi and GPS; BT beacons are unlikely to pose much more of a threat.

If you don't want to be tracked, you're better off not installing Facebook or any other closed-source app with BT or location permissions.
The Cost of Keeping a Brand Advocate Onboard and Engaged
This is sort of my point. My wife chips in here...

Strict diet control is likely to be more harmful than people realise. Many many people end up in hospital during pregnancy after controlling things very strictly. The amount of mothers following silly baby friendly diets results in a lot of faceplants and ICU trips and occasionally tears.

I was an NHS maternity ICU nurse for about 5 years and if your child is not healthy to begin with, the risks to mortality are off the scale if the baby is underweight. If you can't get them feeding pretty soon, they rely on metabolising that fat to get through anything in the first couple of weeks.

An overweight baby has some loose and non conclusive statistics tied to childhood obesity and maternal diabetes. With proper sizing scans, induction etc, the risks are minimal and the diabetes risk treatable (metformin, dietary changes).

Edit: batou again... also c-sections are something you want to avoid, having watched a couple, so you're right about a balance.

They have an error rate - which makes them in admissable as a tool for deciding whether someone should go to jail. That's reasonable.

On the other hand, their are routinely used in classified agencies for some tasks.

So maybe ,even with this error rate, we could see reduction at trafficking , at some risk of loss for freedom of profession. Maybe the benefits are big and the disadvantages are quite small(depending on error rates, etc) ? Maybe it's a worthwhile tradeoff ?
You mean "Windows PC"? :)

It sure is, I'm a Linux-exclusive gamer ever since Steam on Linux came out, but I try to look realistically at reasoning of developers who never did this before.
The main selling point of this is that it is private. Not that it gives my customers or me some sort of benefit.

If your product has a benefit, I am interested. If it cannot supply this benefit with reasonable privacy, I will have to decline.
I wasn't arguing the merits of the article. Let's give it the benefit of the doubt - checks out to be glowingly academic, ground-breaking.

It's still coalescing around these politically charged "all or nothing" terms; begging the question. As if I don't grab a pitch fork and swallow any of the "human rights" pablum, I'm a heretic.

I have a bias learned from being in America and being forced to jam puff pieces down my throat without ever cross-examining it on the merits. Every liberal term is hoarded up for some self-serving reason that has little to do with people's betterment.
Install steam for Linux. There's enough good games that, unless you are an enthusiast, gaming on Linux only is completely acceptable. I'd recommend Civilization V, dreamfall chapters, spec ops: the line (way smarter than it looks), witcher 2, team fortress 2 and braid. Those are the kinds of games that are officially supported for Steam on Ubuntu these days. Most of the rpg classics (torment, baldur's gate etc) on gog.com also works on linux, if that's more your thing.
I think that many people go into dangerous jobs with noble goals, but once they realise the reality of it, they want out (but it's too late).
I thought the beacons would transfer content to the device.
The meme doesn't imply that those products are good or never break, just that you won't get fired for choosing them. We'll have to wait and see if anybody involved in selecting Oracle gets fired over this.

I upvoted that comment, on the assumption that it was sarcasm.
Actually it's more about infant health post-birth. If there any feeding problems, infection, secondary problems or surgery required then that body fat is very very important. Babies are notoriously fussy buggers and can deteriorate pretty sharpish if they are underweight.
> I was given an award for courage at the Lincoln Center in New York. I said they should have given me an award for anger instead. There is nothing courageous about what I've done.

That is courage. Not being afraid of dangerous things is not courage: it's stupidity.
This is just plain untrue. The trick is simply to make Webpack generate a special build for Node.js that doesn't access the DOM.

With oldschool webpack style-loader, all you need is the well documented & supported ExtractTextPlugin to save the .css to a separate file, and there's nothing left for node to choke on. I'm not sure whether the same works as easily for the OP's idea though, but at a first glance I don't see why not.

The only real disadvantage is that you're feeding Node webpack-generated code, and not vanilla JS files. I've yet to find the real big problem with this, though, other than a slightly slower save-build-reload cycle.
You can either look at the past. Or spend your finite time and energy on working towards your (personal) goal.

Revenge is a dish best served cold. Nothing annoys the fk out of people then succeeding despite their efforts to trip you up. It makes them feel powerless.
The problem I have with this logic, is that I suspect with legalization/regulation, supply increases to meet or exceed demand, and drives prices down. This isn't a tremendous economic problem with drugs, because it should be relatively straightforward to ramp up production (and employment and tax revenue increases with it). With prostitution however, trying to increase the supply and driving down costs creates problems. Willing prostitues no longer earn as much, making the job much less appealing, and trafficing potentially increases in order to meet new demand or a decreasing supply of willing prostitutes.
Sure, buy an AP and just let it sit there unconnected. As soon as a few smartphones with their Wifi and GPS turned on pass by it, its position will make part of location databases and be used by smartphones to locate themselves.
I don't understand why separate frames cannot be connected into a "book". It would take less space and as far as I can tell, each frame is quite thin anyway?
For me, the fees are usually worth it for the identity verification, reviews, insurance, support line, and ease-of-use, especially for stays of about a week. (When you get closer to a month then yes, you're better off looking elsewhere.) Also, I'm usually traveling while working, and I'd much rather pay so that I didn't feel indebted to my host, socially or otherwise.
That calculation seems a little off... I don't know what ADAC takes into consideration for that calculation, but either of the cars in my family operate at around 16 Km/L on long distance, mostly motorway/autobahn (and neither will be as efficient as a Golf VII which may be closer to 20) and I don't know how much petrol/diesel costs in Germany right now, but it's probably not too far off £1.15-1.20 per litre in the UK at the moment (quick google suggests 1.43€, exchange rate of 1.4 so actually a little cheaper.)
550 Km/16 = 34.4 Litres of fuel at 1.43 a litre gives around 50€ per direction. I don't know what the tolls are like but I wouldn't cost in vehicle cost or insurance (both sunk costs) but maybe a portion of servicing costs (1/30th of a 15000Km service interval) so let's say worst case allow 20€. So actual cost of journey more like 70€ per direction, which is A LOT less than 247€ that ADAC is suggesting, and still 50€ less than the train.

I'm not trying to advocate for the car, (I much prefer train travel - especially on DB) but based purely on costs, it doesn't stack up... BTW, train prices are similarly stacked in the UK, with it rarely being more cost effective to take a train unless the convenience factor is a major part, like going to central London...
This is a nice implementation.

I made something similar [1], based on the Post Room Computer [2].

Basically it is a two address (operand) modification of the LMC. It was used to as a teaching tool for undergrad students at my local university.

It's a bit more fully featured - It supports absolute and register based address modes, macros, programs spanning multiple files. The computer is accessible via command line or using the in-built Java Swing UI.

If anyone is bored and wanted to run it, heres a sample program:

Thomas Baekdal's calculation model[1] is fundamentally flawed to conclude with "artists never make up the cost".

Apple may be right or wrong with their optimistic projections but people need to at least understand the business proposition they are offering. The concept of "making up the cost" has nothing to do with recovering the 3 free months from Apple as if it was a closed economic system. The idea is that the musician recovers the 3 free months from the entire music industry because Apple will have a wider audience and a bigger platform.

flawed model: get $0 for 3 months and never get it back whether the future Apple payments total $1 billion, $10 trillion, or infinity.

Apple's model: get $0 for 3 months but you (potentially) come ahead because we pay higher royalty AND we have the potential to convert a bigger % of 800 million iTunes accounts to paid streaming subscribers which will exceed Spotify's 20 million subscribers.

In other words, the artist is supposed to make business comparisons based on:

-- lost $$ for not being on Apple's platform and only providing music to Tidal & Spotify

-- more $$ from customers switching away from Spotify

-- more $$ from new streaming customers that would never have paid for Spotify but would subscribe to Apple Music because the app is already preloaded on the iPhone and there's less friction

(Each musician was supposed to weigh those bullet points to see if the big picture of skipping 3 months of payment made financial sense. It may or may not.)

As an analogy, it's as if a merchant concludes that accepting credit cards will "never make up the cost" because paying the monthly fees for the VISA/Mastercard mag swipe terminal and the transaction rates of 2% will never be paid back by the VISA/MC corporate entity. That's only true if one has a bizarre concept of thinking of the payment network as a closed system.

However, rational businessmen think outside of the CC payment system and conclude that accepting credit cards is net positive because behavior analysis shows that customers spend more when they can use a credit card instead of cash or checks.

[1] Thomas Baekdal's arithmetic and logic:

If we assume Apple Music will have $10 billion in revenue per year, we get this:

First year:
70% royalty / no free trail = $7 billion to artists
71.5% royalty / 3 months free = $5.4 billion to artists
After five years:
70% royalty / no free trail = $35 billion to artists
71.5% royalty / 3 months free = $33.9 billion to artists
After 10 years
70% royalty / no free trail = $70 billion to artists
71.5% royalty / 3 months free = $69.7 billion to artists
So, the artists never make up the cost while Apple saves
$1.6 billion the first year of Apple Music.*

I live in a country where prostitution is legal and not taken as taboo. All I can say is that it makes things easier for everybody.

Many use their bodies as a "small business", having their own personal marketing, credit card processor and online clients, increasing and improving their portfolio.

Because they have such leverage, they end up being strict on what they'd do and even who their client is. In case something goes wrong, they can still go to the police and report the incident.
It's amazing how quickly that F1 catches up despite the rule changes though. Qualifying times at Austria (last weekend) were within 0.5 seconds of the qualifying lap record, and that's despite the two Mercedes going off-track in their final lap.
Congrats! Just about to celebrate our twin girls' first birthday in two weeks. I went through same as you - bought books and read articles but I can honestly say they didn't really help - they only make you worry about things you might not need to worry about. My advice would be hold your breath and jump in - it is crazy, it is hectic, at times scary but it is an amazing adventure. Learn as you go and take advice (including this!) with a pinch of salt. Every baby is different - both our girls are very different and the same advice doesn't work for both - you need to find what works for you.

Good luck and enjoy.

Are you sure coal mine workers were aware of everything ? You may never know what will happen even if you worked there for long. And maybe previous workers, those still alive to talk, were coerced into silence to avoid being fired, may not want to stress acquaintance trying to earn money, or would like more colleagues to lessen the load. Maybe that wasn't the case back in the days. But today's miners seem rarely given any choice or information (talking about African rare earth minerals miners)
Thanks for the tip. Last time I tried steam on Linux it only supported Ubuntu and only has 32bit packages with broken i386 compatibility dependencies but that's probably changed now I'm assuming. I've actually really been enjoying Elite: Dangerous recently and they've just come out with an OSX client which is great.

Support period for unsuccessful games is wayyyy shorter than support for unsuccessful or buggy first release of open source softwares that can benefit from bug fixes and patches in the long run. Games are not in the long run.
You could say that if you buy a washing machine or a pack of tampons or a computer chip you and other buyers are "sharing" the cost of the production line, designers, marketing and distribution.

Personally, I wouldn't call it sharing even though it meets some dictionary definitions.
A lot of people get the wrong idea about 1 on 1s because they've only had poor ones. When a manager turns them into status updates, as you describe, they are a waste. And even if they do ask good questions in the meeting, if they don't keep their promises with what they're going to do based on the discussion, it becomes pointless as well.

That being said, in the right hands, 1 on 1s are amazing. They help managers and their team in a variety of ways:

1) Open channel of communication
- Having a standard, private time to talk to your manager or report (depending on your role) is huge. Michael Wolfe has a great post on this http://www.michaelrwolfe.com/2013/10/19/do-i-really-need-to-...

2) Avoid interruptions
- If people are constantly bugging you as a manager you can't get anything done nor give those problems attention. By meeting at a set time each week or two you can dive into the problem and give it your singular focus.

3) Talk about career growth
- Most companies suck at this, but those that actually do talk about skill and career growth have a huge advantage. There is no other time to have this conversation besides 1 on 1s.

4) Catch problems when they're small
- If you have to interrupt your boss to talk to them about something you're probably going to wait til it's a big enough deal to interrupt them, but by then it can be too late. Jason Lemkin writes well about this: http://www.saastr.com/by-the-time-you-give-them-a-raise-they...

5) Supporting the efficacy.
- Is there a study out there? Well, not exactly, but Andy Grove CEO of Intel (High Output Management), and Ben Horowitz A16Z (the Hard Things about Hard Things) swear by them to the point they included them in their books, and recently Deloitte did research on them as a way to replace the hated performance review https://hbr.org/2015/04/reinventing-performance-management

There's a reason Andy Grove said the "90 minutes of your time can improve the effectiveness of your team for 2 weeks or 80+ hours". One on ones done right are that powerful.

That wasn't the case with Germany.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prostitution_in_Germany

It seems to reduce the violence against workers, but increases human trafficking, because Germany now acts as a safe haven for traffickers. Maybe trafficking would disappear, if all societies made prostitution illegal and not a looked down profession, but I somehow doubt it[1].

So if your goal is to reduce human trafficking, it might not be the most worthwhile of means.

Also there is the silly issue, of woman losing her unemployment status because she didn't refused to work as a prostitute.

[1] Even if all countries made prostitution legal, nothing stops a gangster from kidnapping a woman and dragging her from say Mexico to US to serve as sex worker. She could escape and there would be less stigma; but it sounds to me like those poor workers trapped in Dubai/Quatar and they had no reprieve. As someone mentioned, there is a supply/demand problem that can't be solved via prositutes.
Can you or anyone recommend a good documentary on Konrad Zuse please? I have searched and there doesn't seem to be any obvious candidates.
Also worth mentioning we shouldn't limit ourselves to domestic legalization.

Because prostitution would still be illegal in developed countries, human trafficking would continue to happen, as prostitutes will need someone to "take care of stuff".

If they could become independent with technology, they wouldn't be vulnerable to violence, rape,...

Hey! I got started with Webpack and now got a decent workflow.

Still figuring out the interoperability between React(JS) and TypeScript.

There are some issues regarding arrays from React that don't have Typescript features, even when casted (like filter() and reduce()

Not to mention the lack of JSX makes things verbose.

The stylesheet can be inserted in the VDOM, very easily in modern browsers (IE9+). The isomorphic scenario is more involved when IE8- support is required because you can't just have `<stlye>{styles}</style>` work out of the box on the client, you must access the DOM element and set its `.styleSheet.cssText` property.
