Indexing and storage are two different things. If something if not accessed regularly, then you don't want to index it. You can still access it, it just takes longer to find.

tl;dr - Vox is trying to figure out what that mysterious vegetable is that some gut doctor has been going on about in every ad box ever. Their best guess is that it's corn, but the doctor (or more specifically, his publicist) won't confirm.

If I go to foo.com, I generally expect that bar.com, baz.com, and qux.com are not also loading.

We already have enough issues with tracking pixels, but now we'll have to worry about multiple sites worth of trackers (which I'm sure google will do their absolute best to obfuscate behind the background network call and other sandboxing shenanigans)? No thanks.

Okay, but did Memmius end up building over the school or not?

1) Probably on the order of about 200GB of random file types. Definitely within the range of reasonably priced HDD.

2) True, I just can't bring myself to delete it yet, thus the hope that someone had concocted a way to minimize the non-trivial cost of long-term storage.

I'm going to speak with a potential employer quite differently than I will with a friend. Trying to artificially move yourself into that category is not going to work and will just make me even less sure of the process. At least with a standard interview format I know what the interviewer wants. If you flip that on me and put me in a position where I have no idea whats going on, it's not going to end well.

Its not about parental access. Its about third party access. Unfortunately, allowing parental access means that the device is vulnerable to malicious actors also gaining access.

Also, for those curious, the name is because the common explanation/metaphor is of a gambler at a row of slot machines which are sometimes referred to as "one-armed bandits".

As I read it, their argument is that Apple doesn't do enough. And they cite the fact that Apple still associates with privacy offenders as their proof of Apple's hypocrisy.

So yeah, virtue-signaling click-bait.

Maybe, but if you slow down the video to 0.25x, @4:30 you can definitely see the blade bite into it and yank it away.

Hold up. We already have to pay through the nose for medical care, so where is all this money going that these hospitals need to ask for more? Is non-profit a different class that is somehow left out of the con that is the US healthcare system?

Can someone explain what ejection is? I'm not familiar with this terminology. How is it different from say, editing your package.json or webpack.mix.js files?

Technically the US is a Rebuplic. Which, in a sense, means it is largely a Democracy of Aristocrats. Who, it should be noted, have done a stellar job in the last 200 some-odd years of convincing the masses that the Aristocracy no longer (truly) exists. And so the People feel they have the power. When in reality it's all Smoke and Mirrors. Political Theater is nothing more than Circuses that the People can take part in. But the fact remains that Panem et Circenses still exists.

Or to put that in technical terms. "Democracy" (as understood in the common vernacular) is a honeypot that the People got caught in, at which time they got sandboxed.

Throwing stuff out is hard to do if you are poor or were raised poor. Everything you save now does not have to be bought later. There is a potential use for anything and everything, so you might as well keep it. Granted, at a certain point the cost of the storage facility exceeds the amount saved, but the mindset is still there.

Even now, as well off as I am, I tend to collect things (and by extension, clutter) because I can see the potential need for something in the future. I've been trying to overcome this mindset and slim down my possessions to the things I need and the few sentimental items I have, but it's not easy at all. If someone else came into my house and started trying to clean up, I'd probably lose my mind (admittedly for a few unrelated reasons as well, but largely because of this mindset)

I think one of the comments on the article summed it up pretty well.

> I think I disagree with half that statement. I agree that HTML is undervalued, but I've never seen that as gender bias along that line. [...] I think it's an issue of, "declarative languages simply can't be hard"

Actually that not true. You are reducing my logic to an absurd level.

A static price is not a prevention, but a disincentivization. Enabling people to do something they are otherwise economically incapable of doing is how we got the 2008 recession. Granted this is a whole different level, but the point is the same. A functioning economy reflects the value, not the means. And as a result, some are less able than others. A price point that makes it difficult for someone to afford a pet will (presumably) make them think twice before taking on a responsibility they might not be able to handle.

One of these classes is wildly better equipped to care for an animal.

Interestingly enough, as I followed along with your description of the demonstration, I too "painted in" the pirate. But when analyzing the rest of the scene, I realized that I had already created the background of the picture (ship, deck, sea, sky, rigging) and just had to look at those elements.

Shouldn't purchasing the tattoo transfer the rights to the person being tattooed?

The Titanic was going fast because they were trying to get to New York ahead of schedule for the favorable publicity.

To say that the Titanic was careening out of control through the Atlantic Ocean that by all rights should have been devoid of icebergs because some lowly stokers were shoveling coal into a furnace faster than they should have is both simplistic and flat out wrong.

Ah yes, another "TITANIC MYSTERY FINALLY SOLVED" article. And right on schedule too!

If you Google "Titanic coal fire", the results page will be full of articles positing this exact theory. This is neither new, nor correct. Anyone who has studied this event at any length will know it was a death by a thousand paper cuts. Trying to assign ultimate responsibility to a coal fire using a 106-year-old photo showing a black smudge is laughable and shows a fundamental lack of understanding.

The fire in question wasn’t some blazing inferno that many undoubtedly imagine, but rather it was more of a smoldering affair. This fire was in one of many rooms that was built for the express purpose of containing this coal. A fuel source that is known to self-ignite. To say that the fire effected the ship is like saying burning a casserole in your oven will burn down your house. Possible? Technically. Likely? Absolutely not.

Something this article failed to mention was that the fire was put out the day before the Titanic sank. Coal fires were common on large steel ships like the Titanic. The engineers and stokers were prepared for, and ultimately handled the fire. It was part of their job, not some apocalyptic emergency.

As I said above, the Titanic was a death by a thousand paper cuts. Unfortunately, it was a necessary death to give us the marine safety regulations we have today. If any number of things had been just slightly different on the Titanic, it would be a footnote in history and we would be talking about a different ship that would have inexplicably had everything go wrong, including but not limited to an irrelevant coal fire.

Okay, so if the planet has done it on its own before, who are we to think we can stop it? Are we gods to command the sea and tides?

On a slightly less melodramatic note, it takes a massive amount of hubris to think that we can do anything to the rock we live on that will affect it in any meaningful way. The worst thing we can do is set our civilization back a couple hundred years.

Earth has been through several mass extinction events and life keeps coming back, we are only the current stage. There is nothing we can do to change the course nature has set.

Does Atom work with mounted directories yet? Especially sshfs? I'd love to go back to Atom, but unfortunately, last time I tried to use it, it had massive indexing problems when working through mounts.

Pick a starting point then write a lot of comments.

You could just define the second to be a 1/100,000 of a day and go from there. Aside from screwing with literally everyones perception of time, it could work.

I'd postulate it is because we are intimately familiar with how the sausage is made, so we can identify the problems (perceived or otherwise) with ease. Since everyone thinks a little bit differently, even if we do make something impressive, everyone who sees it will think of how they would do it instead. Either that or we think "why the hell did you think this was a good idea?"

This is the theory I subscribe to.
