That works the same for both sides. Many people I know would never use an iPhone. Most people in the world don't use iPhones.

Mirai means future.

To me it's a lot like pumping your own gas. It's weird when I go back to NJ and have to sit in the car and wait for the one dude working on 6 pumps.

But if you talk to people from NJ who have never been outside of NJ it would seem obvious that someone else does it. All of the comments in this thread against self service are the exact arguments NJ people have against pumping your own gas.

Or he crushed an opponent in comical fashion after 8 years of antagonism.

>...gave European colonists significant military advantages over Native American people wielding bows and arrows, clubs, hatchets and spears. The attractiveness of such goods also meant that Indians desired trade with Europeans, despite the danger the newcomers represented.

Every time they use "Indians" after this I have to assume they mean Native Americans, though no where is that indicated or made understandable.

Is there any expectation that at some point in the future we will never again refer to the original habitants of North America as "Indians"? Everyone understands the term "American Indian" to mean indigenous person, but using just "Indian" and expecting people to know by context that you mean literally not an Indian person doesn't seem like a future facing literary move.

> “I strongly believe that it is not compassionate to allow human beings to live on our city streets,” wrote the measure’s author, supervisor Mark Farrell, in an op-ed. “Let’s help get the homeless into housing, not tents.”

I guess this would be the other side.

Yes and no. It is paranoid because we're already about 20 years into our Orwellian future; it's no longer ahead of us.

I already get throttled and I didn't hit 200GB last month. Moved from NJ to CO and still have to deal with the long dick of Comcast.

Why would you force anyone to do anything?

Just do it. You've got dozens of these threads full of competent software engineers and no one can put 10/100 people together and fix this?

I think it's easy to not want to learn something. It's hard to read this article and say "hey I want to learn all of that". But because it is hard it is valuable.

It's so interesting to me that so many people complain and no one does anything.

If Javascript is so bad just make any other JIT compiler run in browsers. Defeat the argument with action.

I'm comfortable with my build process. I have a package.json and a gulpfile.js. I run npm i, then gulp dev. For every new project this is automatic.

Don't follow trends if you don't want to, but I don't believe anything in the OP was difficult if you understand why you're doing it and learn it properly.

It's just the fonts being loaded over http instead of https like the site is.

Easy fix is just change all the font urls to https since Google Fonts supports https as well.

It's just not true that Americans wouldn't take these jobs.

If Americans won't take jobs at $2 an hour that doesn't mean Americans are big assholes who leave food on the table, it means that companies are big assholes that want to profit seek at the cost of legal employment. If you actually noticed a shortage of employees in these jobs, their salaries would necessarily go up to attract more. This is the natural process of the labor market.

Pretty sure way more sites are centralized on AWS behind a GUI so unintuitive companies pay Amazon to do it for them.

Even accepting all of those things, if the company was profitable and had anything in the war chest they wouldn't have to take more funding. They're either getting capital for war or survival which means what they have now isn't enough for either.

I think it's because if you do sign up you get access to the best answers to common tech, higher edu, and startup questions by predominantly people with relevant public credentials.

Maybe I'm just an undeveloped child, but after 2 all of the "improvements" just seem like an outgoing person explaining why they're the evolution of humanity.

> Fed up, the woman quit her job at Apple, trading her position at one of the world's most iconic companies in favor of a job riding a bicycle.

At least it has a happy ending.

I can't tell you how happy I'd be if someone made a network of applications you could download and install in under a second that ran in any other language.

Oh, yeah I didn't mean it to sound that way. In that context I'd say that I believe that moving humanity forward provides more fulfillment than just being happy.

I guess I'm coming from the wrong side. I think happiness for its own sake is really meaningless. I'd much rather struggle and advance than be happy doing nothing until I die, but I guess I'm in the minority. Happiness, to me, is a choice to not let negative things make you unhappy. You can acknowledge negativities and not be consumed by them.

Fighting for happiness is like fighting for peace. You win by not fighting anymore.

I'm sorry if this opinion somehow reads like satire.

Well I'd much rather have Advancement over Happiness. We can be happy our entire lives but if everyones dies before 100 and humanity never goes anywhere I wouldn't consider that a successful society. Happiness is masturbating 24/7 until you die. If you truly believe that is the goal of humanity I can't help but disagree.

I'm not sure I understand. 15 words per minute means you say one word every 4 seconds.

"Most" is kind of a meaningless word. Most people I know use Netflix / HBO Go, Spotify / Youtube / Soundcloud, do not buy newspapers / magazines (they still make these?) and are on their phones the whole time they're walking / driving in public.

If a company wants to force people to see ads, they can do what Forbes does. It's inconsistent to allow people to see content and complain that they don't see the ads. It's like a Halloween candy bowl with a "please take one" sign. If you don't enforce your ideals you cannot represent yourself as holding them strongly. Facebook allows people to use adblockers, and they don't have to. They choose to because they know that not seeing ads is more valuable to users than the service Facebook provides.

Modular vs monolith. Many people would rather require 100 libraries that each do one thing perfectly than one library that does 10,000 things poorly. It also makes everything you do easier to test and run 10+ times faster.

When I took the SAT they required you to copy a sentence in cursive on the scantron. I don't know cursive so I just scribbled on it. Didn't seem to hurt my grade.

It's not necessarily retroactively. If he has 10 people (8m, 2f) and wants parity (8m, 8f) then hes guaranteeing that the 16th person he hires will be a woman.

Something I'd add is that many people who actually play (buy) the real Pokemon games realize the state of this game as well. Most of my friends who play Go are people who know Pokemon from the 90s, not people who have contributed to the franchise economically for the past 20 years.

Also, I don't think people are as invested in Pokemon Go as the numbers seem to suggest. It's something fun for a few days, but because of how legitimately boring the game is, normal people won't be able to keep playing once their friends stop posting about it.

It's a lot harder to beat someone to death from the window outside their car.

That's both much less storage than he needs and much more expensive.
