I've been contracting for the last 15 years and the lack of remote working means I have to do a lot less work! If the bosses are measuring your productivity on just being there then fine, they're idiots and I've no qualms about doing as I please with my time.
Very impressive article and I'm glad that he doesn't offer up Survivor Bias. Nations that work hard to eliminate childhood poverty would, by this reasoning, have a considerable, and long lasting, advantage. It's not just a single generation that will benefit but all the following ones, too.
True. Also e-mailing it around to everyone who requests it is a nightmare. We should be looking to the Estonian model of managing ID (e-estonia). I've also seen id done on the basis of your bank account (cf. miicard.com) which is a bit bowel-loosening.
The article implied you were more likely to remain a veggie if you lived with other veggies. They also cited not wishing to stand out as a reason for lapsing. I don't think, however, it would help someone remain veggie for long if it was being imposed on them in any way. The important points raised that may help a veggie stay the course would be to educate them on the environmental and moral implications of eating meat. Freedom of choice then rather than the imposition of a culture.
I'll lay odds that Scotland at least will not be giving that mandate. Currently the Conservaties have 1 out of 59 MPs in Westminster from north of the border. Of course, that's irrelevant as the Tories can simply continue to completely ignore Scotland.
meh. People can already filter their searches with search operators, for instance, "-washingtonpost -jezebel -theguardian #makeamericagreatagain" for those on the right.
"different interpretations of the facts" may be true sometimes but not in this specific example. Denying climate change makes as much sense, factually, as claiming the world is flat. As xkcd would have it, "Science. It works, bitches."
I have a couple of soroban at home. One has lovely, bright, colourful beads to attract the children. They are attracted, they try to use them as roller-skates. Which soroban drilling app have you used?
Sia [http://sia.tech/]; filecoin; Storj [https://storj.io/]; maidsafe [https://maidsafe.net/]. Sounds like someone could do a good comparison article. Does anyone have any experience of using any of these? They do take quite a bit to set up compared to, say, Backblaze B2 or AWS S3.
But as my mum says when I try to point out she's worrying about the wrong things, "I don't care what the statistics say, I read about it in the paper and I believe it's worse." So is it the papers that are distorting reality or are people wilfully obstinate in their beliefs? (Hint: it's both).
I worked through quite a few of the exercises on http://exercism.io/ and can recommend the challenge and the community around it for learning by writing code.
Build the wall along the Mexican border. Then build one along the Canadian border. Soon enough the world will chip in for a roof and we'll all be happier! :)
