Limit the proportion of seats a party can contest to 50% so no party can control the government and will depend on other parties. Force each party to setup a voting platform so citizens in the district can vote bindingly on individual bills. The district will have two votes, one is the representative and the other is proportional vote depending on how many citizens in that district voting for that specific bill. (Can be partial vote e.g 63%)
The whole reason Facebook has any enforceable standards as a community is because of that policy. The community standards uphold themselves because there are be real-life social consequences for saying something hateful / sexually harassing somebody / posting pornography - the list goes on. Having to use your real name on Facebook is what keeps you accountable. If you want to see Facebook turn into a sewer, get rid of the real names policy. Witness 4Chan and YouTube comments.

They should make exceptions for certain cases, such as when someone is avoiding harassment, or has changed names due to being transgender, or lives under an authoritarian regime. But they can and should do so on a case-by-case basis.

Facebook Messenger: inside Zuckerberg's app for everything
BETA: let page load, then click image once or twice for audio sync; safari/ipad might not sync; smart phones tend to sync perfectly.

problem: GIF is dumb, no audio/vocal sync; click normal GIF, nothing happens; is GIF stuck with eternal async audio FAIL?

solution is onclick, do 2 things: 1) play audio from 0:00 and 2) restart GIF from frame 01; should we debug ipad, etc? then embed MP3/code for easy share audio sync GIF?

opportunity: extend popular convention of easy remix easy share GIF visual loops to include useful audio/vocals in perfect sync; do it in platform independent defacto fair use.

cool: GIF lets you manipulate individual frame timings, so you can precisely sync vocal text syllables; http://ggif.co/14ow for example varies image frame rates from .03s to .11s; so brains experience and synergize image/vocals/text in more perfect sync.

WHY? GIF is old, fat, slow, fugly. Why bother? Because 'easy to share'. Drag/drop copypasta. Voila! GIF survives and thrives because no UI = PERFECT UI. Easy use, remix, share.

TL&DR: if GIF sync audio, then what?
Student ratings for undergrad math in particular are problematic because courses like 1* and 16* are mostly taken by students majoring in non-math subjects who are only taking the course because they are required to pass it.

Millions or even billions if you accept that many, many attitudes and thoughts attributed to stoicism are taught in the Bible, both testaments.

In fact, the opening of the book of John was partially an appeal to the stoics to see that their philosophy is complete in the Christ.

And for what it's worth, Paul dialogued with the stoics in Athens in Acts 17, saying some of what I'm saying here... that stoicism part of a picture completed by the teachings of Christ.
It's also worth remembering that FPTP is designed to encourage strong single party governments over large multi party coalitions.

Whether you think that is a reasonable goal is a case of personal perspective imo. I dislike the position that implies FPTP is a flat out inferior system rather than one which has some advantages and some disadvantages (as do all other systems).
It's not about the money, it's about sending a message.
The "win" here is that if you have a source of "carbon free" energy (on their web site they mention solar, wind, and nuclear) you can pull CO2 out of the air and make it available for other processes (like Fischer-Tropsch) which can combine it with Hydrogen and turn it back into long chain organics.

As far as relevance goes, this is an interesting bridge technology. One could imagine a massive solar plan in the Sahara that was using its output to produce diesel fuel. Transporting diesel long distances is more feasible than transporting electricity and you can use it when you need it and store it when you don't.

If one of the several fusion efforts start generating excess energy this is one way to use that energy productively. You reduce airborne CO2 (good for the climate) and you produce fuel for later.[1]

Compressed CO2 is also used in a number of industrial processes so you can just sell the stuff if you want to make back money.

[1] And yes that re-releases CO2 into the air but if you're pulling it out to make it the result is a net-zero impact on CO2 levels in the atmosphere.

That's because too many people think they can do something better than the previous group. Such as situations where people think "this time it will be different!" that usually turns out worse. In this case, they were just thinking they could be better at cheating.
It's because bookmaking is a game of chance while fantasy sports (daily or not) is considered a game of skill. Ironically bookmaking is much more fair for the average person than daily fantasy, but that's not how the government sees it.
Honestly, if you don't have time to form an opinion for what each party (or at least main parties) stand for, then how will you have time to vote on each individual issue? According to this website: https://www.govtrack.us/congress/bills/statistics there have been over 10 thousands things those people have input one per year. (sounds insane to me as well)

You don't want to micromanage each little decision, and you can certainly make phone calls and show up in person to talk to some people in government to discuss things you do care about.

Also, you should never underestimate corporate inertia. Switching to a new system is immensely expensive, for many companies it won't happen, ever. Just look how many companies are still using decade old hardware and scour ebay for replacement 286 processors.

There was a very specific intent of extermination in the slave labour thing, not just utilization of slave labour. Political prisoners would be killed by having too little food when doing heavy work, while ordinary criminals, who would have been equally useful as slave labour, were given a privileged position.

While at this, Soviets also made experiments with people, and I think this was to some extent done out of sheer curiosity for information.

For instance, take a group of men, split them to three and send them to build a canal (dig earth with shovel, cut down trees with hand saw, use these methods to build embankments for a canal).

One of the groups gets "normal" rations (which are far below what is needed to survive). One group gets a little bit more bread, another group gets even less. Then set them to work, and observe how quickly each of them dies. This enables you to optimize a conversion ratio of bread-and-people to kilometres-of-canal.

Soviets studied this, and their then-friends the Nazis came to observe and study and then refined the methods later on.

Even with more transparent reporting, it'd still be possible in some cases to hide where the money is really going. There could have already been a planned budget increase, for example.

Well, the volume of a regular aluminum soda can is 375 cm^3 [1]. A modern can is about 15 grams of aluminum.[2] Just a really quick plugging it into Wolfram Alpha, the volume of 15 grams of aluminum is about 5.6 cm^3. [3]

So, that's about 1.5% aluminum by volume. So a soda can is about 98.5% air by volume.

Started reading Peat's 'Infinite Potential - The Life and Times of David Bohm' yesterday and came across this post on HN. Knowing of the stir created by the 2013 e-mail, the possible parallels with events associated with Bohm's dismissal from Princeton (although for seemingly opposite political reasons) were striking. As an irrelevant aside, Bohm's 3-world intentionality/stochastic/objectified space hypothesis is interesting because it reduces the Schrödinger cat metaphor to a useful fiction.

Take a 2'x2' 1" thick piece of foam. Laminate some fiberglass onto both sides of it. This is basically how modern boat hulls are constructed. Extremely light, rigid, insulated and durable.

WAG, but if it would allow you to replace 1 ton of foam on a 40' yacht, that's one ton of extra cargo/amenities you could carry instead and maintain the same water line. Or alternatively you could produce a faster boat with less wetted area.

I'm sure a real engineer has a better idea of practical applications. But I like cruising yachts so. :-)

This is such a perception skewed by Silicon-Valley-Syndrome.

This is how the rest of the world works -- I run an import/export business and have to manage logistics. It doesn't matter what industry, it could be crude oil or widgets from China at half a penny a piece. It's my job as CIO to choose an implementation.

I'm going to choose SAP or Dynamics (or one of the handful of other ERP's with name recognition) on DB2 or Oracle. I'm going to store my data on EMC dual array filers for HA and pay the tax. Why? Because if I choose node.js and MongoDB to run my 3 warehouses and the system goes down, I'm getting voted out next board meeting. If my SAP R/3 on IBM hardware goes down, they'll do the dance and at least fly some people out to retain their image keeping your job effectively safe.

This quote must feel like a punch in the gut to anyone who believes in that 3'rd party you voted for. They thought "look, we didn't win, but at least X number of people agree with us, we'll do better next time". They don't realize you haven't even looked at what they stood for, and it wasn't even a pity vote, it was a throwaway because you didn't feel like writing in Micky Mouse.

I had/have an algorithm that I use for MLB games. The stats are relatively easy to find and past that it's just trying to figure out what things "matter". I had a lot of fun day dreaming about which things are important to factor in. Some parks are hitters parks, some pitchers walk batters more often, most batters have a better average depending on the handedness of the pitcher, etc. There are thousands of things you can factor in.

If I'm being honest, it didn't make a whole lot of money before I shelved it myself. The most important factor is that the lineups are rarely submitted early enough for me to bet on a full day. Usually I found myself being able to only play the late games, which is typically 4-6 total teams. It really limits the creativity of the lineups.

In the future I'd like to try it with some other sports (NBA is a big one, because the lineup issue shouldn't be as big of a factor, same with hockey). But I don't expect to make millions, it's just a programming problem that's a ton of fun to solve for.
Stoicism teaches us that anyone can be rational, and that we're not really so different after all.
Sadly, although this would seem to be a bonus for the environment, I don't think it is. A lot of people have been tempted into buying diesels based on the claimed fuel consumption and emission figures. I was one of them. However, unless you are regularly making long journeys these figures are a false economy. I moved closer to my work and ended up making a lot of short trips in my car. The result? The engine's Exhaust Gas Recycling (EGR) unit clogged up after several months which cost a fortune to replace (and of course the environmental impact of more of these units being manufactured). The garage's suggested fix for this was to make a weekly superfluous trip up and down the motorway in 4th gear to burn off clogged particulates (thus wasting fuel that was supposed to be saved). Other 'fixes' I found on the internet were to apply a kit to bypass the EGR entirely (thus re-emitting the particles that were supposed to be cleaned up).

My fix? Sell the car and go back to a guzzly petrol model.
Angular 1.3 support gets weaker
Thats what they used to justify the difference in the law, but any other form of sports gambling seems to meet the same standard. For that matter, the daily sites have devolved into a sort of prop bet parlay.

My own personal subjective opinion is that blackjack, craps and especially poker all have higher skill to luck ratios than the daily fantasy games. Especially with the rake set the way it currently is.
It's relevant because companies that are not multi-national can't afford to engage in these sort of tax reducing practices. If you want to get rid of corporate taxes altogether, that would be different, but suggesting that it's okay for Facebook to pay less than other companies because their employees pay income tax doesn't make sense. The tax code should provide a level playing field for all companies. You shouldn't get a break just because you can afford to move money around the globe.
How would that work? Countries don't have radar coverage over the entire ocean. Even if the aircraft were noticed, which country would be responsible for upholding the international accords? If Russian aircraft were scrambling to stop hobbiest aircraft off the coast of Alaska, that would be a political nightmare.

When you go to a DoD CAC-enabled site, typically you'll first see a click-wrapper page saying "This is a DoD site, blah blah perjury, prison, blah". This page will present a certificate signed with a DoD CA that only DoD-provisioned machines have. The DoD has a whole suite of CAs for different departments and security levels, which keeps things compartmentalized.

When you click through, you'll be directed to a page that, via standard SSL, requests a client certificate which triggers the browser prompt. At this point, you insert your CAC and select the certificate it contains. After you enter your PIN to unlock the certificate, your browser sends your client cert back and the site verifies that your CAC was issued by the CAC CA and that it hasn't been revoked, then HTTPS proceeds as normal.

The trick is that CAC certificates can't be used blindly, since you have to enter your PIN every time it gets used in a new session. Public sites can't just request a client cert without triggering the prompt and making you re-enter your PIN, and typically the CAC isn't inserted when you're not using DoD sites or on the DoD VPN.

it's misguided to call tax practices like these dishonest because it puts the blame on Facebook, who is operating legally in the system they are provided.
