The big reason for polarization is a voting system that directly causes it. Single winner elections, where the candidate with the plurality of votes wins, will automatically cause polarization (see "Duverger's Law"). All the more so as candidates and their campaigns get more scientific about how to win. Because smart candidates will try to avoid having their vote split, plurality elections have two sweet spots, "middle right" and "middle left." Anywhere else is generally a no-man's land.

Some things about TV and deregulation might contribute to it, but there are enough channels and enough other options for consuming news that I am not convinced that is a big part of the problem.

"All the machinery of oppression, and the silly exporting of de-stability (the arms to ISIS)"

Ah. People (particularly NY Times readers) see the words "muslim" and "extermist" and they automatically assume it must be Saudi funded, even if the conclusion makes no sense in the given context.

ISIS is the biggest challenge to the Saudi's rule of the peninsula in years. If anyone is going to support them it would be anti-saudi religious extremists looking to overthrow them. There are many groups operating in Syria which could be clients of the Saudis. ISIS is not one of them. It makes no sense for them to do so.

Programming is 100% design, there really is no separate "implementation" phase.

If the design has a flaw, whatever the reason: it is a bug.

A big part of development is "discovering the requirements."
It is typically the hardest part for real world projects,
and when that fails, it is perhaps not a bug in the code,
but it still a development error that needs to be fixed.

If a developer got a piece of paper that said "blue" but
the real world requirement was "green", and it was not
possible for the developer to find out together with
any stakeholder, then there is a development process error,
that needs to be fixed.

In any event, it needs to be fixed, so pointing to someone
else wont really help.

Anything where we can't host the tool and point it at git repositories on a server we control is a complete non-starter for us, unfortunately. This is mostly because our development and test environments are not connected to the Internet.

Other than that, I took a quick look at your product and it's feature-wise close to something I would want to use. Only comments I would make would be that non GitHub projects generally want the review tool to handle the branch management (a.k.a storing pull requests, flagging their status, etc.): of course only focusing on GitHub lets you not worry about that and get a product running much sooner... You should spend some serious time looking at your page load times as well - I'm 10msec away from your server and the demo code review at https://reviewable.io/reviews/Reviewable/demo/1 took nearly three full seconds to load, even with most static assets already cached since I didn't timeline it on the first attempt.

> Why? Because Twitter as a company hasn't produced effective revenue?

Because they're lecturing about engineering efficiency, yet they require 2,000 engineers to support their product. By comparison, WhatsApp scaled to 3X as many active users with a engineering team 1/40th the size. Instagram also runs circles around them in this respect.

For a team so huge and so productive, where is the output? More productivity tools? Maybe Twitter should pivot into that space.

Ok, you made me count. I have exactly 50(!) windows open, and the three first windows I checked had 34, 7, and 15 tabs. I know at least two of the windows have about 100 tabs each. Altogether, I estimate maybe 700-800 tabs?

I wish I were joking.
It could get away with none, however i wanted it to constantly move even while numbers are changed - otherwise i asked myself why build it out of liquid if its not moving.

On the other hand, you are right, it only draws power when it moves and it moves every other segment every few seconds which is enough to constantly animate the numbers, because the fluid needs time to readjust.

The motors are actually stepper motors, which made it all harder, because its not as easy to move them as it is to move servos, and steppers have no idea where they are which required an initial calibration sequence. The good news is that steppers are not loosing any steps, i guess the mechanics work very well.
For one, Linux isn't an RTOS and never will be. The many rejections of real-time patches into the Linux kernel tree have shown that the kernel devs favor performance to precision, so it would be a fool's errand to try once again to push a real-time patch just to get it patched. At which point, you'll end up having to do a lot of your own OS development anyways to backport kernel features you need. There are quite a few situations where Linux will delay interrupts for milliseconds, and quite a few situations where milliseconds can mean millions of dollars.

For your last question, 20 years of support will certainly not Linux developers. While MS offers extended support for Windows XP, neither earth nor the heavens will make Red Hat provide extended support for RHEL 3. The Open Source world has a lot to learn from proprietary companies about support still.
You are confusing regular language with finite state machine. I don't know why there is so much resistance to this. All real machines have bounded memory available to them, thus they can only accept regular languages. Therefore, regular expressions are as powerful as any machine in existence.

> Mr. Xi has often discussed the seven years he spent exiled to a rural village during the latter part of the Cultural Revolution, including in a speech in Seattle on Tuesday, casting that chapter of his life as an uplifting story of a city boy who discovers the suffering of ordinary Chinese in the countryside and resolves to make a difference.

As this was the main point of the Cultural Revolution's Down to the Countryside movement, I'd have to strike this as one of the successes of the Cultural Revolution.

Distributed teams are where it's at. There is no need to make your most experienced people with the deepest knowledge (often the married people with children) go through all the drama and hot mess that is the Bay region. The taxes. Finding an apartment (or house!). Finding a school for your kids. The cost of living. Parking. The NIMBYism, political correctness, and hatred of engineers a la the Google Bus. The overhead of homelessness, and the aroma of shit and piss on the street.

At some point, companies are going to have to get with the program if they want to keep their best people. That will happen once enough of them can't fill senior roles. They'll respond to quality of life issues—those are getting more important in hiring, not less. You don't need to locate your engineering team in SF and force them to put up with all that bullshit. Make life easier for them, not harder.
Let's say that political polarization is in fact increasing since 1996. But there's this little thing called the Internet that went mainstream that year -- and had a far bigger impact on yet another cable TV station (that was not even available in major markets in 1996).

Also I can think of plenty of other causes that are equally or more plausible than the ones cited by the authors:

* MSNBC launched in 1996.

* 1996 presidential election, hotly contested because Democrats wanted to take back the House from the GOP (did not succeed) and Second Amendment advocates were alarmed because of 1993 and 1995 anti-gun legislation. There was the 1996 FBI white house files controversy, Clinton signing the Defense of Marriage Act in 1996, etc.

* Drudge Report launched in 1996 (followed by Lewinsky scandal in 1998).

Though I think greater access to alternative media via the Internet, no matter what your political persuasion, is the most likely cause of greater polarization. You no longer had only ABC|NBC|CBS and your local newspaper and radio station. Republicans now had Drudge, Democrats had MSNBC.com, socialists had wsws.org, libertarians had Cato.org or Reason.com, etc.
None of my friends use G+ but it has lots of active communities and there are many people who use it in a twitter-like manner -- posting non-personal items, starting discussions and the like that are crowd pullers (+1s, comments, resharing to other communities).

G+ is a good network, I hope the Facebookers will remain on Facebook and Google will find some way to open it up to outside web to integrate it with its active communities and the wide web - a prime example is the G+ blog comment system. It had potential to be the no 1, but they squandered away the opportunity by limiting it to G+ and Disqus scored there.
Sorry for that... working on getting it back up right now!
Just the number of active users is a really bad metric in this case. WhatsApps product is much, much simpler than twitters products.

Django Tutorial (Database Setup) Question
Hello all !

So I am going through the (Database setup) chapter of this tutorial (https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.8/intro/tutorial01/) --- Its the section right after the first chapter on "Creating a project"

I opened up mysite/settings.py as per the instructions on the Django tutorial.

However, when I try to run the following command : $ python manage.py migrate to create the tables in the database,

CaiGengYangs-MacBook-Pro:Weiqi CaiGengYang$ python manage.py migrate ---- input

I get the following error message :

/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/Resources/Python.app/Contents/MacOS/Python: can't open file 'manage.py': [Errno 2] No such file or directory ---- output

Any idea how to solve this issue?

Thanks a lot !

I have started sending samples to my kindle as a kind of place holder for books I'd like to read when I have time. It's saved me heaps of money!
Just "bookmark all tabs" (Chrome), and name them Tsundoko. Now they're just as accessible as before; you haven't lost them. But they no longer take up screen real estate or RAM.
Some ATMs in Canada do make you take your card first before dispensing the money if it's not your last transaction. Others display a "Remember to take your card" message. Others have a beep and flashing light near the card slot.

There really is no standard.
For what it's worth, every ATM I've ever used here (a major city in the US) has made you take the card back before continuing the transaction.

That said, they've all used a "insert card -> remove card -> enter PIN -> perform transaction" flow rather than the "insert card -> enter PIN -> remove card -> perform transaction" flow mentioned in the article.
My friends did use it. But they don't any more.
We might want to change what we call them, if we want them treated as something other than "Ivory"
I collect ebooks instead - better yet, I collect Kindle Samples, which are free. I can sleep peacefully at night, knowing that all books that I want to read are on my Kindle, and when I actually want to read them, I start reading, and buy them when I get to the end of the sample (and plan to continue reading).
Worth mentioning: when Xi visited Tanzania not too long ago his entourage smuggled a bunch of ivory out. So yeah I'm sure the orders to stop ivory trading from the guys whose houses are full of illegal ivory will be taken seriously.

> Facebook in particular has allowed me to keep in touch with a much larger social circle

For me, Facebook offered a false sense of being social. The more I used it, the more I craved social interaction, leading me to use it even more. It's possible, maybe even likely, that I was "using it wrong." But after I used Facebook's tool for dealing with this problem (the Delete Account tool), I've become a more genuinely social person.

I do miss out on photos posted by my extended family. That is a genuine loss. I've probably also missed out on some events organized through Facebook. But then again, I'm making more of an effort to actively maintain relationships offline, and it's probably been a net positive.

Of course, that's just my experience. There are 1.5B active users who might disagree.
>assuming that microsoft is a "typical" subset of the entire US economy

As you note yourself, this is where the argument likely falls apart. Given that you average wirh energy-intensive industries like aluminum production (well: any kind of production most likely) the figured might be not even in the right order of magnitude.
Energy consumption is probably to a large part data centers (usually built close to energy sources like dams, though I'm not sure in the MS case), production and shipping of SKUs (less and less) and offices for 100k+ employees. Perhaps a large impact is also due to commutes. Are there any more tangible calculations around this?

Interesting, in the Netherlands almost all ATMs work in the same way as Germany, take the card first before it gives you the money.

However the other part about paying a lot in cash seems strange to me? And a fee on card payments while cash withdrawal is free if the exact opposite of my Dutch card. Paying in shops is free, cash withdrawal within the country is also free (not sure if all banks do this), but taking cash from an ATM abroad costs a small transaction fee.
Rumor has it SAP has lower than 50% success rate on their implementations.
I lost my (German) credit card exactly the same way in Bangkok. Unlike the author, I never received my card back and had to order a replacement card, which takes ages to ship to the other side of the world.
