One island grows 99% of the world’s kangaroos.

Exactly. The need for a CPAP is almost always mitigated by weight loss.

Lose weight and most likely you will stop snoring. Most likely you are obese or overweight.

I don’t doubt that hat the people don’t get enough sleep, but the biggest health problem in the western world is Obesity. It has huge health, environmental, and social costs.

Obviously since you’ve had no problem everyone else is wrong. Maybe you’ll be on Apple’s next billboard campaign with Jeremiah Cohick.

“Small Percentage”? Ha!

That’s exactly the point. Only the biggest companies with large pools of compliance accountants and attorneys will be able to do business.

MS SQL Server may be a good choice, too.

This will help with self-driving cars faced with a "trolley problem." You can choose the victim most likely to die anyway.

What makes this especially bad isn't that they're trying to correct an underrepresentation of certain groups by giving them a boost when evaluating candidates; it's that they're making up false "personality traits" based on stereotypes to demote Asian applicants. They'd be on much firmer ground if they just said "we feel we should have more African American candidates and we'll alter our selection criteria to get them by increasing our ratings for them."

This hasn't been true for several years. Most films today are 4K (Cinema)

It's better than the Apple ad about "facilitated communication" -- a completely discredited way of getting non-verbal people to "talk" with what is essentially a Ouija board. _That_ was the most distasteful Apple ad ever.

I can update Erlang programs _while they're running_ without any downtime. We do this often at our company.

See http://erlang.org/doc/design_principles/release_handling.htm... for the basics. With no shared state, and no global variables, and no side effects, you can update functions so the next time they're called they're something else.

I can post on hacker news with only 4.

A Leaf is a glorified golf cart. If you can't afford a Tesla, the next best bet is a Chevy Bolt which has a 250 mile range and not a golf-cart range. (Also, you're buying American, if that's important to you)

Or a Chevy Bolt!

Will he fix these sorts of problems:

and also issues of people being removed from projects _by GitHub Management_ because of political or personal opinions expressed in other forums that were unrelated to the open source project?

This is why I don't use GitHub

Don't forget how evil Github is!

Microsoft should be able to leverage Bing to do good deep searches across all code. This would be a big win for everyone (and Bing!)

Good! Getting rid of Atom for Visual Studio Code should make things a lot better (and allow them to free up some staff). And if they eliminate they head of "community" that makes public repository owners have to tiptoe around any sensitive snowflake's sensibilities, that will fix most of the remaining problems.

You’re kidding, right? Anyway Microsoft will kill it and replace it with VS Code, a much better editor.

Adobe.

Meh. _Real_ headphones have 1/4" or 4-pin balanced XLR connectors, like my Grado or Oppo headphones do.

I'm no troll, but I like to keep my fun/hobby life separate from my professional life. My customers don't need to be able to google me and get my "fan theories" about Westworld, etc.

But there is a lot of groupthink on Reddit, too. Some popular forms you just have to stay out of if you have a different opinion.

I'm more worried about the Disease Resistant Bacteria than a blanket claim from a grass-fed organic beef producer that it's causing obesity, etc.

Perhaps he figures that "causes obesity" would get more people concerned that about the risks of resistant infections.
