vvdcect··on Darpa Funds Development of New Type of Processor
The way things are now, that corporation is probably creating jobs in china, india or SEA and storing its "value" in Ireland. Just to sidetrack for a second, I know we're still quite far from ai taking away jobs from the software industry, but oh boy when that day comes I won't feel one bit sorry for you. It doesn't take much to fall through the cracks in society and I hope you learn this the hard way.

Maybe the money taxed from that said corporation could be channeled to pay for universal income.

Also IIRC General Douglas MacArthur wanted to use 30-50 atomic bombs along manchuria during the korean war, he claimed that it would have resulted in a sort border of radiation for 60 years and would prevent any invasion of korea from the north

urban malays although less enthused about it tend to skew towards having an equal playing field.

No middle class malaysian citizens.
vvdcect··on My Family’s Slave
I only can speak for malaysia and yes this issue doesn't get brought up much, it's quite sickening to be honest. What is even more interesting is that most of the housekeepers are hired by the middle class, the same middle class that is wants racial equality in malaysia..

Does it mean it would be possible to use redux with either squeak or pharo?

vvdcect··on Ask HN: What do you use to align your daily todos with your long term goals?
Most of the cards are fixed. So for instance my morning list has checklist cards like: Exercise, Daily reading, To Read etc.. The only exceptions are cards based on things I need to do for that day, i.e send email to x or call y, these cards will get archived and deleted.
vvdcect··on Ask HN: What do you use to align your daily todos with your long term goals?
So I use 3 trello boards and break my goals/todos into cards. My long & short term todo boards are sorted by icebox, work in progress and done. My daily agenda is sorted into 3 lists, morning, afternoon and evening. I've been using this for almost 6 months and it's pretty simple to manage.

vvdcect··on Lyft surges to the top 10 on App Store following the “DeleteUber” campaign
I think the hullabaloo around this immigration matter is reasonable. However, it would have been really great if the left had used the same amount of enthusiasm and vigour to protest the killing of innocent muslims civilians[1] by the united states, but i guess it's alright if their party approved of it.

vvdcect··on Reddit’s CEO edited comments that criticized him
A little bit of backstory from r/outoftheloop on this issue :

To explain what's happened to anyone not wanting to dig through the threads, Spez, the CEO of Reddit, has admitted to editing some comments on The_Donald. Specifically, he changed mentions of his name in insults to the usernames of The_Donald moderators. According to his comment, he did this for about an hour before stopping. His comment states that he was very stressed over dealing with the removal of r/pizzagate and being called a pedophile for it, resulting in him going out of line and making edits to comments. He also says that he won't do it again, and that the community management team is angry with him.

The Reddit admins have had a strained relationship with the moderators and users of The_Donald, for multiple reasons. For a lot of users there, this validates some beliefs about the admin's treatment towards them, specifically that they make an active effort to censor their content. Other users on the site feel like this sets a dangerous precedent, as it demonstrates the admins can and have edited comments without disclosure. Further users feel like, while Spez made a mistake, he was unfairly treated and harassed by TheDonald and his response was an understandable outburst.

Now, people around the site are wondering what the repercussions of this will be. Some question if Spez will be removed from his position over this. Some wonder if the admins will come forward and admit they've edited comments in the past. Others wonder if a significant population from The_Donald will migrate to Voat, a Reddit alternative.

vvdcect··on Shrimp Trap
The best way to kill seafood in general would be to use an anesthetic then gut/puncture its nervous system. Clove oil would be the best example of this, check dave arnold's post out http://www.cookingissues.com/index.html%3Fp=5731.html and a good method for fish would be killing it using the ikejime method https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ikejime .

Yup the main reasons high end restaurants do this is because of consistency, a cup of coffee from a nespresso would always yield a 6/10 cup.
