I think that small teams with high throughput communication can work in place and remote. In place the high communication is there by default where the default remote position would probably be lower communication / more isolation. It

It’s a long time since I used scala and none of this was ever a direct problem, but it was all extra complexity. I think there’s a split between people that appreciate sugar and people that find it not worth the additional complexity. That

Oh, come on. What is this? > people like you I linked an article on Wikipedia in response to someone’s question. It’s hardly Chinese propaganda. Really?

Is that like Russia's version of the BBC?

You've been posting similar comments all over this thread and it's a bit tiring. You don't have to like or support what China are doing to acknowledge that the terrorism was real. These are real groups and real documented eve

They're talking about East Turkistan Islamic Movement (ETIM), it's the Uyghur jihadist organization that's conducted a number of terrorist attacks using bombs and knives. I don't have a source to hand but you can find so

There are people that used both including me. But I fell squarely on the Clojure side and haven't written Scala for 7-8 years now.

It's been happening since Obama's Pivot to Asia, it's just a lot more noticeable now since Trump has no subtlety.

These obvious studies aren't just for the yes/no answer. It also provides other data. Like, if I actively wanted to evade facial recognition then I now know that a black mask is better than a blue mask.

Yes, do that then. 2000 = x, 4000 = 2x, 6000 = 3x, 8000 = 4x

I wouldn't count on it. The aversion to WFH always seemed to be the risk, but now they've already been forced into it and mostly handled it quite well, the unknown isn't unknown any more.

Perhaps understanding how things work is leading to the unhappiness. There are lots of big problems in the world, too big to be fixed by a single person. Dwelling on these can be depressing, they don't say that ignorance is bliss witho

It is free to the person that receives it. Imagine I bake and give you a cake, it's still a "free cake" even though I've put the work into baking it and other people have put the work into harvesting the ingredients and

He doesn't appear to be. He's calling for Americans to exercise their freedom in sacrificing themselves to the virus for the profit of the capitalists.

> but they also recognize that if we radically do less under our current paradigm, the people who are barely scraping by now will be crushed. It sounds like we should change that current paradigm too then. We're on the conveyor belt

Cloud seeding exists already. It works by distributing particles (I forget what of) in the air that water can coalesce around into clouds and then raindrops. There are ethical and geo/political consequences though, since doing it is ef

It is ignorance though, both willing and unwilling. It's ignorance at the bottom, ignorance at the top, and ignorance at every level in between. Even our "solutions" are ignorant. Every improvement in energy efficiency we hav

You find one that aligns with your own personal goals and ethics. I found one, and working with other people there feels like a multiplier on the change I want to see in the world. Generally they'll be quite small and niche but they do

Sometimes tips are given by the same people that place the bomb, with a desire to reduce casualties. I don't know anything about the situation in Russia, but that definitely happened in Northern Ireland.

I found his book Recovery to tell a very powerful story of his trouble with addiction, and how he has worked through it. He goes quite deeply into self introspection and analysis of himself and his character, and how he needs to remain cons

I eat them more as an affordance to other people. They're rarely my first choice, but if I'm eating with someone else and they've cooked or we're in a non-vegan restaurant then that might be my only available option. Ano

People are out demanding changes. I'm terrified of climate change. I'm also terrified of nuclear power. I'm not really against nuclear power in theory, but I'm afraid about how we're unable to think about, plan, or

I think it's because we're sold on the idea of progress (technological and other types) as leading to improvements in our lives. But generally they aren't realised. Automation, for example, was supposed to lead to easier live

Not really. My country is being ripped apart, everyone seems so hateful against the other, the government talks about record employment level and pay while people are using foodbanks and sleeping in the streets. My own life is great by the
