Use a third party service and call their API. Done.

If it was so onerous, why has it lasted?
Because it benefits other people who continue to vote in favor of such things.

Don't you want free trade?
How do you feel about an H1b taking your job? Don't you want open borders?

And GATT didn't help. People remember that. Trump is capitalizing on that sentiment. Clinton was offering the modern equivalent of applying more leeches to bleed out an illness.

We are only a means of production. If all of the means of production are automated, then we employees will be useless. The machines will do the production part. Why bother with employees when the machines will just create what their owners want? We will be cut out completely, and we will no longer have value.

I've seen some shady things, and it was ALWAYS in a setting full of people too junior to ask questions. Junior people are sometimes naive, and will believe management when told that certain shady things are normal. Junior people may have no resume to speak of and are basically forced to look good at their first real job. Junior people may not be able to afford to quit without having something else lined up, and don't want to be marked as job-hoppers. Senior people have the marketability to leave, and the experience to see through BS. They may also have enough savings to quit out of principle and take a sabbatical, or the ability to shift gears to their side business. I don't really know how to solve the problem, given that young adults need to eat regardless of their ethics. I do know that the problem is hardly contained to computing. Maybe we gravitate to this field because we love logic, but the rest of the world isn't logical. We still have to deal with human nature in this field too.

From TFA, the one thing that is death to a tech career. >> “They will always remain unemployed,” at least in tech, he said. “Their skills will be obsolete.

It's worth noting that calling, or even visiting in person, are the most effective ways to get a response from a public official. As stated in the article, public officials are deluged with email. Phone calls and visits are less common, therefore getting more attention than other ways of communicating. Something as serious as a request for an investigation is serious enough to warrant the time investment into a more personal method of communication.

Maybe we are the simulation. Maybe we don't exist outside of it and if we leave, we cease to exist.

According to the TOS, and common sense, this is scanning your emails to serve you ads. Granted, Gmail does the same thing, so maybe no one will care. It is still worth mentioning.

Inequality is already in my DNA, in the form of epigenetic changes caused by my ability to afford a certain lifestyle. I can afford to shop at the organic grocery store. I can afford a gym membership. I can afford time to meditate because I don't have 3 jobs. I can afford to relax when I want. Instead of punishing people who can achieve something, lets plan to help the ones who can't achieve what they need, for whatever reason. I'd rather have a conversation about how to make genetic fixes available to the poor too, instead of screaming that the rich ought to suffer with the rest of us. The rich will have this anyway. Someone, somewhere else, will perfect the technology, and people who can afford to travel will have it.

Here is a map of air pollution in the United States http://www.nws.noaa.gov/airqua... Here is a map of mental illness in the United States http://www.medicaldaily.com/sa... If toxic particles from the air are getting into human brains, could this be related?

It's intentional. Media companies are embedding high-pitched codes that you can't hear into all sorts of things, like music. Your phone tells the advertiser what you're doing in meatspace. It's a whole new way to track you.

Ad networks are totally doing this. I don't have proof so I won't name names because I don't want to be sued for libel. The root of the problem is that the phone's permissions allow an app with microphone access to listen all the time whether or not the user is running the app in the foreground. Be suspicious of anything that needs microphone privileges, especially if it's something that has no reason to need to use the microphone. Looking at you, Twitter.

People can generally guess a lot about you, based on things you say and do. No fancypants machine learning necessary.

Who do we hate more?
