I found out, just yesterday, that it is stationery (with an ery) when talking about office supplies and stationary (with an ary) when talking about something that isn't moving. I'm not a grammar nazi and I don't care how people spell it at all, I was just interested that after years I had always been getting it wrong, so I am just sharing it here!

It might just be that people who view classified government info leakers/whistleblowers negatively tend to lean conservative, and so do those who view trans people negatively. It doesn't necessarily have to be that her trans status is causing anti-transgender people to also have an unfavorable view of the leaks (though that is certainly also possible).

Blugh, I can't count the number of times I've watched guys walk out without washing their hands. I don't get it. Is it just a guy thing, or is it common everywhere?
Another possibility is that most people are relatively indifferent towards trans issues, and in a sense revoke their respect of her based on their negative perception of her perceived transgressions.

Of course, if your respect for someone's trans status is revocable, then you probably weren't that strongly in favor of trans rights to begin with.
For all that these people can be ridiculed by simply quoting them, their successes are really alarming. The consensus that CO2 emissions threaten the climate is something more than 20 years old at this point (the first IPCC report is from 1992), so the absence of political consensus on the issue is a significant achievement. In comparison, the Freon ban to protect the ozone took little more than ten years (in fairness the Montreal Protocol is the most successful treaty the UN has produced).
It's been pretty thoroughly established that reparative therapy doesn't work on trans people. What makes you think it'll work on cis people?

I've tried a lot of pens, from fountain, to regular ballpoint, Fisher to Parker, and I'm yet to find a better pen than the Pilot G2 Retractable.

It doesn't look "fancy" but it is effectively a ballpoint pen than glides across the page. It is retractable so no caps, and it doesn't have a stupid thick stalk like some so called "premium" pens (so they're easy to hold for long durations).

Yet as much as I love these pens, they're only $12 for a box of twelve. Hardly super expensive.

I discovered them in what Americans would call "High School" and used them all throughout University and haven't stopped since. They're now my pen of choice. I have a whole draw of more expensive pens, but the G2's are the workhorse that gets it done.

PS - Yes, fountain pens glide across the page too. But I got tired of the mess/hassle.

PPS - My Parker Stainless Steel Classic is likely my favorite LOOKING pen. It is the same as the Parker Stainless Steel they still sell, but has a touch of gold leaf on the clip and cap. As much as I like the look of both the Parker Stainless Steel AND the Stainless Steel Classic, the G2 is simply better for actual writing.
I think there is a difference between mistreating a monument and just not having self-awareness.

The way I look at it, if there are kids laughing and playing on a monument, that is a better representation of freedom and security than any amount of pillars or stone could ever represent.

> I have hated AA ever since they decided to put me on some secret list (the SSSS list)

Can you prove that AAL did this? If you can't, then this is absolutely not the fault of AAL. This is the fault of DHS or TSA.

That's a good point, and it's what I do when I need to drink from a fountain. I just got back from Egypt, you should see their solution: clay pot, one cup, everyone drinks from it :) Side-note, after having a child, I've found myself getting more germ-adverse, not less. I'm not sure why.

I very strongly disagree with what Manning did, but misgendering her is a vile, hateful act of bigotry.
This is clever but it definitely needs to be backed by real data and adjusted in the future. This would be a great use case for all the data that's been collected for research into programmer productivity!
To be clear, having issues with fundamental care of our veterans is not what is in discussion. We should absolutely be outraged at poor care of our defenders military, firefighters or otherwise.

Making your original comment some what of a "No True Scotsman"
Those whose jobs it is 'to decide' have shown themselves untrustworthy and unwilling to uphold justice.

So fuck 'em, time for others to take on the responsibility.

Manning, Snowden and whoever else in future has access to information that would serve public interest and decides to risk their lives and their freedom to make it known.

They have my full support.
you do not know that, there is no method to prove. For practical purposes we can have 'time'. But it does not mean it exists. Look, it is uneasy concept, I know. But it is not Kantian at all. The thing is that we build tools to augment our limited senses, but we cannot build tools to augment depth of our understanding. If the language has no word for phenomena, it cant be explained or exposed. But its reality is undeniable. Ever had something you know but you cant explain? It does not mean the thing you know does not exist, right? Such is the uneasy truth that there is no 'time' or 'self'.
Would love to grab coffee! (No contact info in your profile)
Yeah, I was pretty confused myself at the time. We started to taxi with an empty plane and I asked a flight attendant wtf was going on and if the plane was supposed to be moving. It was nice though, I put up all the arm rests in one of the rows of middle seats and laid down for a nap.
MakerBot Faces Class Action Lawsuit Over Faulty Extruders
What I don't understand is the validity of these arguments. The very language it's presented in casts doubts (at least in my mind) of its rigor. Do these arguments actually hold water?
>Transgender people are probably more hated than any other minority

They are the second most hated. The most hated is the one hate groups compare all other minorities to when attacking them. The catch is that the most hated group has far better ability to pass than transgender individuals, meaning that a 'which group is worse off' classification is harder to determine.
Radio leaves Earth at the speed of light. How deep in the universe are songs?
Well, yeah, and people believe in gods and miracles too. That's the world we live in.

On this product though, I think it is a stretch to place it in the same category as holy water and other nonsense. An assisted walking device costing tens of thousands of dollars is very far from magnetic bracelets sold on TV. The sales process is very different. It includes a demo, during which the buyer will quickly understand whether or not the device does what it says. The FDA should not be involved unless something is going into your body. Their involvement pretty much guarantees the device will be far more expensive and competition will be limited due to the barrier to entry.

I refuse to misgender her, I'm trans myself, and I don't view her favorably.

And I've noticed that some of Edward Snowden's more vocal supporters also support Putin's actions across the board, including his hateful anti-LGBT stance.

What a difference a year makes. Brazil had the most overvalued currency in the world a year ago[1] according to the Big Mac Index, but today it's undervalued by 10.6%.

It strikes me that currency exchange rate is a very inconspicuous thing with a big effect. Unlike inflation, interest rates, or how much rent you pay--which everyone is aware of--most people don't sense changes in exchange rate, the effect of which is just as profound.

The flight attendant told me the plane was fully booked on the next trip, it was replacing one that had to be taken in for maintenance at my destination or something along those lines (Its been a while, I don't remember the details), so it was either flying it empty or flying with us on it.
I thouroughly enjoyed the read so I suppose I should be on my way then.

I struggle to see the purpose of a comment like this when a good chunk of the point of an algorithm/crowd driven news aggregator is that we don't have to defer to one persons finger in the wind judgement on the matter. We can just wait and find out.
Rich guy gets deal only offered to the rich that allows them to go from merely rich to extravagantly rich while contributing nothing to society. And it happens to be legal!

If we were talking about a Wall Street financial predator, people would be squealing for change. In fact, they have been. But this guy seems to get a pass for "sticking it to the man" or something.

It's weird.
A safe I used at a prior company had a digital lock with one combination. A little searching for similar models revealed that the lock had additional combinations, not documented in the manual for our safe, with factory default combinations. We changed the extra entries quickly.

I wonder how many more there are. It's software, it's practically uninspectable, it sure wouldn't surprise me.

Linux Foundation report: It pays to update tech certifications
This seems to me to be estimating the cost to get from a fixed spec to "works on my machine (or simulator)" rather than the total cost to go from an idea to shipped product with non-technical stakeholders (whom your estimator is targeting), a diverse product team, changing understanding of the target, i.e., all the bits that investors struggle to understand seem to be omitted or minimized.

I've found in many years of building apps for clients, the easy part is forecasting simple programming costs. The hard part is helping folks understand time spent keying in code is only a small part of shipping successful software--and one of the more predictable ones. So, the cynic in me reacts with: "great, another over-simplification that instills more of those unreal expectations that so often cause failure."

Minor points worth reiterating from others:

* The rates are off for areas other than yours (how about making rates/regions an option?). And, I'd make it much clearer that the viewer is likely looking at offshore outsourcing pricing as that is a very, shall we say, unique approach to new product development.

* "Man" hours is a small, visual irritant due to the problematic gender relations and inequities in our field at the moment.
PEPs are basically the Python community's RFCs (if you're familiar with those).

BTW, what you call "an opinionated piece on how to write Python" was originally written by Guido van Rossum, the guy who invented Python in the first place. I think that gives him the right to say something on the topic...

(You ought to know that Python has a large following with a strong community feeling. Making negative remarks about their BDFL - benevolent dictator for life - van Rossum does not go down well ;-) )

Quick question : would you pay extra fees for a credit card that only allows transaction from whitelisted stores and if used online, the shipping address could be only to a whitelisted address ?
Double that to get the agency rate, and no one wants an app completely designed by juniors, you'll need at least one senior resource and probably a PM.
It hasn't shown any wrong doing either. The only thing that made any noise was some records of some collateral damage, for which the US army already disclose statistics routinely and the absence of which would be surprising in any war. One can only claim to be a whistleblower if there is any wrongdoing exposed. Most reviewers of these notes mentioned that the US diplomacy was rather doing its job well.

What is worse about this is that credit monitoring does nothing to protect you, it only alerts you after the fact.

The issue I have seen in a few incidents is that a company will fix the 1-2 issues that they feel caused the data breach but not take a serious look at overall security. To me that just means they aren't serious and realize that the cost of providing credit monitoring is cheaper than fixing issues and consumers aren't demanding more so it passes as good enough.

What is going to have to change is that consumers in quantities beyond 1-2's are going to need to start suing for damages. Personally, I think the damages could be fairly high. Think of the cost of credit, lost or reduced employment opportunities, car insurance etc. All of which cost more or are damaged when your credit is dinged regardless of the source. Multiply that by the years it can take to repair your credit even with all the proper legal documents etc and then by the number of consumers affected in some of these cases. That could be a big number which starts to get corporations to change their tune about security.

Of course, to me Credit Bureaus is an industry ripe with potential to disrupt. The problem is the barrier to entry is steep and the incumbents are not going to let new players in without a major fight, so my guess is the cost would likely be high.
It is interesting, isn't it? You might expect there to be a 'general factor of criminality/antisociality/violence' akin to how we find a general factor of intelligence in psychological things, but as far as I can tell, drug use or sales seems to be largely orthogonal to other kinds of crimes - most of the DNM users will never buy credit card dumps and rip off retailers (carding is disliked by a lot of DNM users, although not enough to totally ostracize it like CP), most DNM users will never download CP, most DNM users will never beat or rape someone, etc. I have no issue buying and using illegal drugs, so I'm a criminal, but I'm not the same kind of criminal as, say, the Vallejo kidnappers (which BTW if you haven't read the complaint, it's an amazing read if you're into true-crime stories: http://www1.icsi.berkeley.edu/~nweaver/vallejo.pdf ).

This probably has a lot to do with why the War on Drugs has been such a failure and why legalizing does not seem to unleash crime waves.
There's a lot going on here. Partly, I think we're conflating having the best possible defense with having a fair trial. The latter probably does not require the former and, in any case, it is probably not possible under any reasonable system to provide the former for everyone. I think many defendants do receive fair trials, whether they can afford representation or not--though this does not mean their representation could not have been better.

In fact, today, for poor defendants, the lawyers on both side are already salaried state employees. Moreover, federal defenders and some state public defenders (particularly in big cities) are actually very good. Believe it or not, these are highly coveted jobs, despite the dismal pay and stressful work. But that doesn't mean it isn't still possible to go hire an even better lawyer. And, when your life is on the line, this is just what people will do if they can possibly afford it.

This will result in disparities, but it's unclear how we could prevent this short of preventing people from hiring private attorneys. This seems like a non-starter, so it's probably better to focus our resources on making sure everyone's representation is adequate, than on making sure everyone's representation is the same.

But the other problem, of course, is that, although many public defenders are actually extremely gifted, their offices don't receive nearly enough funding. This means that, although it is possible for a given defendant to receive good representation (and some do), in the aggregate public defenders offices simply cannot properly do all the work that needs to be done. This is, in theory, an easy problem to solve, but unfortunately, there is little public interest in solving it. Prosecuting criminals is popular. Defending them is not. (Of course, the whole point is that not all defendants are criminals, and we need good lawyers to help the system distinguish between the two. But that's not the message that sticks with people, for some reason.)
Sounds very reasonable to me. $56/h is above the market rate for Thailand, Eastern Europe, Russia, etc.
