Rugby is regularly shown on ESPN, at least here in South America, and also in Europe I think.
While there inarguably is some -often subtle, occasionally open- racism in Germany the law is usually on your side and the system to enforce it is (mostly) working. Openly arguing and even (verbally) fighting with police men/women isn't so unusual here and I think knowing and insisting on your rights is more likely to make the police handle you more cautiously (as they know you know your rights) rather than escalate the situation. Only speaking from my limited experience as a "European looking" person though, so don't take my word for it.
How do I get this to render in CSS? I tried using "System" (Windows 7 Firefox) and it didn't appear to work.
I don't think this is true. Revolutions come in all sorts of flavors, but some of them involve some point where armed forces are required to choose between shooting on citizens or not.

Most of the eastern block revolutions 25 years agos were peaceful. None had dissident firepower playing a significant role. When East German security forces decided not to fire on the wall crossers, it was 50% over. When Moscow decided not to send in tanks it got to 100%.

Not many revolutions are armed insurrection like you see in Syria.

When bidding out work and using micro-payments lowest cost is the only criteria allowed without additional justification and accompanying paperwork which would usually negate any benefits of using micro-payments.
Making your own galvos is a huge feat. High quality ones used for laser cutting or etching can cost up to $2k each. I'm guessing they must have needed to hire someone with a background in this area.
I've used AIX since it ran on the RT. I've used CVS since a buddy said "hey...this guy has some shell scripts that work better than SCCS" (i.e. the late 80s). I've done OS performance analysis for decades. I'm quite clear on how those boxes perform. Quit doubling down on the bullshit that an unloaded 660 with server class I/O is outperformed by a mobile P3 cramming data down a laptop IDE bus. It never happened. What happened is something like what mattzito described and you just have no idea how real systems are deployed and managed.
Perhaps you think that police are friendly and helpful because of your experiences. So here is a guess: you are white, you have a standard hairstyle, you wear standard clothes.

Perhaps we could experimentally test your hypothesis of friendly police behaviour. Start wearing dreadlocks, put on baggy pants and some other more 'hip-hop' looking clothes. Put some colour on your face and make it look darker.

Do this for a year, and _then_ tell us what you think.
No, but the legal system does have a sexist slant to it.
Technically, it does both ;-)

I am not a lawyer, this is not legal advice, if you're actually in a situation where it matters you should check with a real lawyer, etc.

This is a common misconception. First-to-file does not mean that prior art doesn't matter. First-to-file means that, if I invent something today, you invent it tomorrow, you try to patent it the next day, and I try to patent it three days from now, nobody gets the patent. In first-to-invent, I would get the patent.

The 2013 law explicitly still gives weight to prior art.
I suppose that UberX specifically drops the price point a bit but my personal rent a car vs. get a ride calculus for trips doesn't really change with Uber and I don't think it would for most people. If I'm flying to an airport and just need to head into a city like San Francisco where a car would just be parked until my return, I'll get a cab/Uber or, if there's a good option like BART, public transportation. If I'm going somewhere that's more spread out like the South Bay and can't easily get between hotel, restaurants, work sites without a car, I'll typically rent.
Luckily. I find that guy (Martin Asshole Shkreli) indigestible.
I guess I mean in practical outcomes - that money equates to speech, therefore freedom of money in politics has done the exact opposite of campaign finance reform.
The difference is that if private institution that issues "toms safety certification" takes a bribe it is a very shortsighted strategy - such certificates will be very soon considered untrustworthy and general public will start to ignore them, therefore putting certificate institution out of business. Government-powered institutions can take bribes for years, or even decades without ever being punished for that, or being put out of business.

And yes, limiting government competencies is the best way to limit corruption.As one of Polish politicians put it:

The problem with this solution is that it's very expensive. Imagine couple hundreds of millions of computers making a TLS connection every few minutes.

For NTP there is Autokey (RFC 5906), which allows authentication of the servers with public-key crypto. It has various problems, one of them is that it's insecure.

The NTP working group is currently preparing a Network Time Security specification and its implementation in NTP, which is supposed to replace Autokey.

It might explain their incredibly large investment into College Football. Even other networks use ESPN to schedule games, and they own the copyright to some conferences even if they don't broadcast the game themselves.
A Brief History of the Web
I seperated out my suggestions into UI and Frameworks. Kendo does many things, a non-standard MVVM framework is one of them: http://demos.telerik.com/kendo-ui/mvvm/index

Kendo also gives multiple ways to initiate their widgets, one of them being the standard jquery widget way.

Also bootstrap is more than just CSS, which is why it's distributed with a JS file. Samem with material design.

Frankly, I think the approach Kendo takes trys to do way to much, and in effect they make it difficult to do beyond what was accounted for.

If you simply are creating internal tools for a business to use and don't care about aesthetics or having great control/UX experience, Kendo is possibly an easy hand held solution for your company. On the other hand, the type of company who has this as a goal is likely a terrible company to work for and will not lead to very interesting work.

> A semicolon is not considered sentence final, whereas a question mark usually is. This makes it easier for software to auto capitalize. So at least that's possible a use case.

Such software will need and have a language setting anyway (e.g. for hyphenation). It doesn't have to and cannot rely on code points alone, so the characters (or rather, different uses of the semicolon) needn't have different codepoints.
Cutting out middle men seems like a no brainer, but it doesn't work out in reality too well. See wholesalers. They just provide too many value added services, including pricing buffers (bundling).

I think the future-proofing was just a "why not?" bonus. The real goal was just to render with system fonts so the page felt as native as possible and they got to take advantage of all the person-hours put into the choice by the OS vendors.

But the fonts do change on occasion, so it makes sense to me, for forwards and backwards compatibility, you'd ideally just want to be able to say "render whatever font the rest of the system is using".
It'd be really interesting to see what the network sports programming gets per viewer from the advertisers (I think they aren't capturing any cable money). Maybe that information is available, I don't know where to look (I guess the Superbowl numbers are pretty public and would establish a ceiling). Those numbers should more or less show what it costs to put together the programming and would make it easier to reason about how many viewers they need at a certain PPV price.
Not sure what you mean, but the site linked above says they do it <10KB and then a few paragraphs down says how they patched it to go down to a bit more than 5KB. So, I don't think it's a typo.

At a very basic level, when I was volunteering helping the homeless, I saw a great deal of disparity. There are many homeless shelters and programs that only take in women and children, and many shelters which accept people of all genders but have limited space will make men wait to gain entrance, while letting in women and children, so that if someone doesn't get in, it's always men. Donations are frequently given under the condition that they go to help homeless women and children.

I do understand some of the legitimate reasons for this: women are at higher risk to be raped and experience more medical issues related to homelessness. But this only accounts for some of the disparity.

Part of the issue here is that there's a belief that adult males should be able to support themselves. This is evident in the programs that do serve men: while homeless programs that target women provide food, shelter, medical care, and childcare, the few homeless programs which target men almost universally focus on helping homeless men get jobs. Men do experience privilege in employment when they're actually employed, but this idea is inapplicable to the homeless. Most homeless people are mentally ill, and a mentally ill man is no more employable than a mentally ill woman.

> Really, people who expect an encounter with the cops to be respectful, convenient, not humiliating, fair, decent, honest, voluntary, or inexpensive are a part of the problem.

All of the encounters I've had with British police have always been fantastic, they're always respectful, tell you exactly what they're stopped you for, what's going to happen next. I'm glad I live in a country where I don't have to fear the police.
The answer is "everyone."

* The people who elected "tough on crime" DAs and politicians.

* The DAs who got every conviction they could and the harshest sentencing possible to show how they're "cleaning up the streets."

* The politicians who voted for mandatory minimum sentencing.

* The judges for being punitive rather than rehabilitative.

* The media for painting a very distorted picture of modern America.

The US is never going to fix itself as long as it continues to be a culture of fear, blame, hate, and ignorance.

It's certainly fair that Uber + Zipcar + online banking + grocery delivery + etc. can make a difference in the need for car ownership at the margins. For example, I know a couple in San Francisco who don't own a car and I think it's fair to say that they would not have been able to manage this 10 to 20 years ago--at least without making a lot more compromises.

Why not both (or all 4)?

There are laws with racist and sexist underlying reasoning and disparate impacts and the legal system does have a racist and sexist slant to it. There are also decently fair laws that are broken at unequal rates due to sexual and racial differences in society (those differences themselves often caused by social racism and sexism).
Apple don't bother arbitraging away taxes most places I've looked.

They also seem to have started doing USD<->Local Currency pricing 'adjustment' far more regularly than I would have expected. I have watched the base price for an App in Australia fluctuate between $0.99 and $1.29 over the last two years. They are always slower to change the price 'down' than 'up'. So I'm not surprised at the fact they would just 'pass on the full cost' to an entire country. I'm pretty sure even with the import tax they are probably adding a 'nuisance surcharge' to the price of the laptops, because of the 'costs of tax compliance' and other typical corporate excuses.

It appears you've never had a real encounter with Police.

I've actually worked with the Police. ALL training is about asserting power when dealing with suspects (a suspect is anyone you stop or talk to - no matter what the circumstances; think about how many people reporting a crime actually end up being arrested themselves due to something they say which incriminates them, even in something tangential and unrelated to what they are reporting).

The moment someone tries to reassert control, training is to respond with additional aggressive responses to overwhelm resistance. Call in backup, draw a taser/gun/baton, physically take hold of the person etc.

Try pulling things like talking about your consulting projects and asking for a guarantee about making a meeting and you'll be lucky not to be face down on the ground in under 5 seconds and spend the next 24 hours sitting in a cell.

In all my years, I think I probably met less than 5 colleagues who could proportionately and reasonably interact with people, defuse tensions and remain in control (of both the situation and themselves). All the rest relied solely on the power assertion training and some couldn't even interact with other police officers without trying to assert power over each other. That always got nasty, especially when they did it to someone who, like them, didn't know how to back down or defuse a situation.

Unless you have a crack team of lawyers monitoring your every move, your best approach is to be compliant and non-confrontation. Remember as much detail as you can (especially names/numbers) and make a formal complaint later on, via a lawyer if possible, once you're out of custody (and preferably out of easy reach - remember the police are 24x7, they can expend huge resources to hound you out of sheer vexatiousness. You have to sleep. They don't.).

Does IPFS have a client-side JS library for building apps that interact with the IPFS DHT? Something similar to https://github.com/feross/bittorrent-dht.

I've been looking into developing distributed client-side apps for IPFS, and it would be great if we could just tap into the native IPFS DHT rather than having to depend on a separate IP-based DHT for peer discovery in our apps.
Eastern block revolutions was about people who didn't have other choices, even those with weapons was tired of it.

ipfs dev here! This is indeed possible, you will be able to listen on announcements (provider messages) of hashes that are near your nodes peerID within the kademlia metric space. To get a complete picture of all hashes on the network, you would need to ensure your nodes had reasonable coverage over a good portion of the keyspace (enough that the K closest peers calls for any hash would return at least one of your nodes).

I really want to build something like this, just haven't had the time to do so.

It's interesting I was just thinking along these lines yesterday, I'm currently reading "The Trolley Problem" by Thomas Cathcart and realized that sometimes a self-driving car might have to kill you in order to save more lives. Ethics and philosophy will come into play a lot more in an A.I automated world as we will actually have to program rules in without really understanding the rules in the first place ourselves.

> We had society first, then we had laws. Laws exist to serve society, not the other way around.

Laws are extensions of social customs that happen when society grows beyond a certain size (think few dozen - hundreds of people). The things Uber does break are against social customs as well.

> When a law stops being useful to society, we get rid of it.

Yes, but the way we usually do it is not by someone unilaterally deciding they don't like it and breaking it, while raising enough money to keep its enforcement at bay.

> They promote "fuck this one particular law that sucks for everybody except a few who benefit from it".

They break this particular law (and a set of others, like tax laws, insurance laws, etc., as well as ideas of being decent and not threatening people who disagree with you - ideas that are sort of important in a civilized society) because that's the area they're doing business in. But other companies enlightened by their example will be breaking other laws. Who knows, maybe next SV-backed startup decides to ignore FDA? Because who cares about those "clinical trials", they're only slowing progress down. And the next one after that will ignore biosafety. Would you like to live in that world?

> Maybe we could have had a long, drawn out process where the taxi system was slowly dismantled over the course of several decades, but who benefits from that? Not the customers who are stuck paying for overpriced, inefficient taxi service. Not the many drivers who are able to get flexible part-time work.

We had that in Europe before Uber, and it was going fine. As a customer, I benefited from local company that offered pay-for-distance drive-by-GPS service stirring up the taxi market. They had some legal battles, there was a law adjustment, and the local market improved (the company is still around, and I'm still their happy customer). Rinse and repeat. That's how you do the progress of civilization.

> In a language that lacks maybes, but has nulls, what is the equivalent of the type Maybe (Maybe Int)?

int **

> Even ignoring the lack of composability, flatMap is an operation on a broad category of which Maybe is one example; that generality is a key part of its utility.

While it's certainly part of it, I would disagree that it's the key part. The ?. operator is flatMap in the context of Maybes, and Maybes alone are useful for preventing a class of bug (NullPointerExceptions) even without the rest of Monadkind.

> ?. is a special-case operation on nullables, if you want to use it on any of the other things that flatMap works on (e.g., lists), you need a different operation, so you can't build generic algorithms.

Being able to use generic algorithms like sort() on Maybes-as-collections-of-arity-[0,1], while very cute, isn't actually that useful in real code. Particularly real C# or Java code.

Don't get me wrong, I've written code in Scala, and I love the generality of Maybe and related collection types, even though I have hit some interesting issues where I've needed to call .toSeq on my Maybe in order to get the right thing to happen, because they're not quite equivalent. But being pragmatic, and given that C# (and Java) don't have proper Monadic Maybe, and are unlikely to ever get them, I'd quite like the ?. and ?? operators, please.
