It is indeed unfortunate that white men are only represented in leading roles in Marvel films via Steve Rogers, Bruce Banner, Tony Stark, Peter Parker, Thor, Wade Wilson, Eddie Brock, Frank Castle, Stephen Strange, Peter Quill, and Scott Lang. Equality is nice and all, but the Marvel Cinematic Universe has only had fifteen movies starring white men, three with ensemble casts, one with a black man as lead, one with both a man and a woman in title roles, and zero with leading women. Isn't that enough? Shouldn't women be happy as supporting characters and, 5% of the time, secondary protagonists?
It's also terrible that the film writers chose to stick with the 2012 canon of Ms Marvel taking on the role of Captain Marvel, becoming the first -- sorry, the... fourth? female Captain Marvel, a role that had previously been exclusively reserved for men since the character's inception in 1967 -- whoops, the Monica Rambeau storyline from 1982 to 1993 -- sorry, the Phylla-Vell era Captain Marvel's end and replacement in 2007. This is unprecedented revisionism just for the sake of views. Male roles should remain male roles.
If a similar situation happened with a standard bank, a government could step in and help out. In the US, for instance, FDIC insures $250k per person per account type (with eight different account types).
In order to qualify for FDIC, the bank has to agree to certain additional regulations and auditing that make it less likely for this sort of issue to occur. So this would almost certainly not happen with a standard bank. Cryptocurrency sucks.
The point of UBI is to make people safer, rather. Safer from the ill effects of joblessness and underemployment. Safer from unexpected emergencies. Safer from the negative economic effects of reduced aggregate demand in a heavily demand-based economy.
If you read the article, you'd see that the people enrolled in the pilot had similar rates of employment to a control group. It isn't that they don't bother -- they bother just as often regardless of whether they have a basic income.
If it were reported accurately, this would alleviate the fear that you just parroted, that people would stop working.
If a kid feels loneliness and anxiety when you cut off a major means of communication (including with their emergency contact), the problem might not be the kid.
Blowing systemd away would mean doing more than it does. We want a system that does less. For instance, we want an init system that doesn't have a DNS server built in. We want one that doesn't handle rewriting resolv.conf and instead relies on a separate daemon to do that. We want one that doesn't try to take over logging, one that just uses logfiles.
Systemd has some advantages over sysv-init: named runlevels, starting tasks in parallel, and restart policies are all nice. Integrating logrotate would be handy. But it's hard to wow people with an init system that does a lot less than systemd.
The exploit is a privilege escalation attack and does not require physical access to the machine. It uses a local account (that is, one on the OS) to start a local root shell (that is, one available to a process running on the machine, not necessarily available over the network).
They are switching to proof-of-stake instead of proof-of-work. Instead of using all the compute resources required to calculate a hard problem on every participating machine all the time, your computer gets to sit idle for most of the time. When you and your friends get your turn to process transactions (which is based on how rich you are), you get a portion of the transaction fees.
This allows Ethereum to be only a couple thousand times more expensive per transaction than Visa, and with a fraction of the features.
I'm pretty good with humor. I'm not at all amused by "weboob". It's the level of humor of a four-year-old boy announcing that they have a penis, except with sexist connotations.
I've developed reliable dev estimates in the past. This relied on us having a single codebase that we worked consistently on for an extended period. We knew our own infrastructure. We knew what we were doing. If there were major areas of doubt, we used a timebox for investigations.
The kicker: however long it took us to write the code in the end, it took us one tenth as long to create the estimates.
Her post specifies that there were 150 people in her unit when 3% were women. That's about five women.
It's possible that she's the only person who left and the company only hired men from that point, which would be problematic in itself and indicate that the unit grew from 20 people to 150 within a year.
It's possible that the unit had no net change in size, which would indicate that the unit started with 37 women, which would indicate that over 90% of the women in the unit left in the course of one year. That isn't a sign of a healthy working environment.
An injection every month or three is much easier to use reliably than a condom. You can't put it on wrong. You can't forget it in your other pants. It can't tear. So the effectiveness in practice should be much higher for this than for condoms.
You could dictate to your phone during the trip. Or nap. Or relax. Or just not worry about traffic and other drivers. All more productive than navigating a two ton vehicle through a throng of other two ton vehicles, forced to concentrate on that task and nothing else.
Can they apply this to everyone's account by default, with an opt out option? That would maintain freeze peach (everyone can see your tweets if they opt in) and make the platform nicer (people can avoid abuse trivially).
It's easy to break this kind of watermarking. You get K copies of the book, compare them, and take the most common version for each element. Choose K based on your budget and the degree of confidence you want that you've scrubbed everything.
For bonus points, you can analyze the types of differences and create novel watermark elements to confuse the watermark reader even more.
You have to analyze several types of media -- like CSS, HTML, and images -- but it's still pretty straightforward.
If the interfaces are fair use, I could have a non-GPL project depending on a GPL library, and that dependency won't affect the licensing of my project.
This reduces the difference between the GPL and the LGPL. However, in order to sidestep that difference entirely, you have to distribute your application separately from the GPL'd library.
As a practical matter, I don't think people tend to be that concerned when I, for instance, release code under the MIT license with GPL dependencies. Compile the work and distribute it, and you still have to follow the GPL's restrictions. But I might be wrong about that.
If you check the site, you'll see the extension adds an 'X-Forwarded-For' header with a random IP address. This tells the server on the far end that you're using a VPN and your real IP address is that random value.
That requires the site's tracking stuff to be moderately smart (to know about the header in the first place) but not terribly smart (or it would look up the owner IP on the far end of the connection and, if it's a residential ISP, trust that rather than a randomly generated IP address).
Omitting etag and cache control headers will make sites less efficient. If you don't enable javascript on untrusted sites, it shouldn't affect correctness. If you do enable javascript and people are using etags rather than query parameters to handle incremental updates, you might get strange results. (Like if gchat were doing this, you might find yourself getting a lot of chat history on each request, as if you had a full conversation every second or two.)
Altering etag and cache control headers to some time further in the past than the last time you loaded a file will result in less inefficiency.
I'm dual-booting my desktop. Everything works fine in both Linux and Windows with the exception of audio. Windows just can't do it.
Windows is convinced my speakers aren't plugged in and refuses to let me select them as the audio output, whereas Pulseaudio on Linux realizes that people sometimes want to select an audio device that doesn't appear to be plugged in at the moment.
(I might be able to find a driver to reinstall or something to get Windows to realize my speakers are plugged in, but it just isn't that important to me yet. I only installed Windows for the Unreal asset store, but I switched to Unity3d.)
The project leader insults people a lot and is too distracted by a name to give my code a fair evaluation, so I'm going to stop trying to work with him in my free time and instead work on my own, where I can get things done without a ton of useless fighting.
There's plenty of puerileness here, but not from Garrett.

The increase in percentage could also be accounted for by a reduction in other forms of theft.

It's a lot easier to parse a feed into a series of articles if each article entry has something in it that gives a natural ordering.
It's a lot easier to display an integrated collection of feeds if articles have a natural ordering relative to each other.
It was a problem that RSS didn't make publication date mandatory. JSON Feed doesn't solve this problem.
Similarly, when Google Reader shut down, I started my own RSS reader: https://github.com/dhasenan/pi...
Oddly enough, I never actually used Google Reader. I didn't use any RSS reader before then. I just used the announcement as a reminder to take a look.

Scala is no longer hip.
You may as well join our company -- sure it sucks, but you're not going to get better anywhere else.
Yeah, that's not an endorsement.
A lack of punishment doesn't mean the thing wasn't wrong. Bill Clinton avoided punishment, not wrongdoing.
