I was trying to say that organizations should be charged to be a part of Facebook, period. Whether they choose to advertise or not.

In a perfect world, there wouldn't be any advertising on Facebook. Just billions of people using it for free, subsidized by companies that pay to be on it.

Most Chinese are fairly nationalistic. They're not going to complain about this to a foreign documentarian, especially if there's political reprisal for criticizing the one-party regime that runs everything.

This is why stuff like this is important. We get a view behind the propaganda veil. The narrative of "See, we planned ahead all is good," is questionable especially considering their recent stock market and economic woes.
By "crazy action" I mean for 2 years wilfully undereating, not washing, living in filth, not responding to basic communication (even to your own daughter) and standing for long stretches of time at road intersections.

>And under what mental disorder should someone be institutionalised?

Under those that are responsible for causing a person to suffer and damage their own health and fail to try to recover, or seek help with recovery, as in the example above.

>All you've referred to is the DSM, so it's very unclear which illnesses and disorders you are referring to.

You've taken this comment thread on a totally different tangent. We're arguing a wholly different point now.

> Incidentally, are you aware that there is a difference between a mental disorder and a mental illness?

No, wasn't aware. I use them interchangeably.
This article is a turd. The only redeeming quality it has is at all is that it aligns with ideas that are politically popular. That shouldn't give it a pass.

Are the allegations on ESR's blog a bit far-fetched? Sure! But poor writing like this is the kind of thing that pushes the kind of people who care about good arguments away from trusting people aligned with that political position (even if the listener themselves is also aligned!). As the rhetorical and tactical measures become more about winning than providing a strong arguments for your positions... more and more people are willing to entertain the allegation published by ESR!
Loyalty integration is already being integrated into ApplePay. Walgreens went live with it today. Kohls also announced support for their house-brand credit / loyalty card.

The retailers are going to find that their "loyal" customers are much more loyal to their iPhones and Android phones then they are to the retailer's brand.

Consumers like the loyalty programs because they are a benefit to them (lower prices without clipping coupons and points programs such as .10 off a gallon of gas for every $100 purchased in store). The consumer isn't interested in helping the retailer build a database about their habits for "targeted marketing". Most people if left to think about it, find the programs creepy and would actively use any alternative if it was just as convenient as having the little card on their keychain.

That's not even to mention the ridiculous amount of barriers CurrentC will have asking for people's bank accounts from the same retailers (Target, Home Depot, etc.) that lost their credit card information. At least with the credit cards the consumer is protected. Not so much with their checking accounts.
Here's the Serious Eats guide to sous vide eggs:

For soft boiled, I've only tried it at 144f for 1 hour, but was a touch softer than I wanted. I think a few degrees higher might fix that. Part of the white was slightly liquid, but it was easy to discard. Peeling was a pain.

165f was good for a hard boiled egg. The texture was softer than normal which I thought was great.
That's new with iOS 9, it wasn't possible when Apple Pay launched.

The category this article ignores are people who say things like "Why?" when they really mean "You're an idiot, stop being an idiot." In that case, more words aren't going to make things better, they'll make things worse.
They didn't scale too far, they set expectations too high (for investors) creating the perception of a struggling $20B company, when they are really a thriving $5B company.
I use to think that any article should only be evaluated based on their worth of its arguments. I now check the biases of the person and organization which publishes it, before reading.

The difference of this approach from ad-hominem is that it's more a mental "test" than a "shortcut". "How intellectually honest is this person or organization? If new evidence or fact comes to light which disprove to some degree the position they are maintaining or expounding-- will they change their mind? Or at least be silent and move on to something else?"

If "not really", then I pretty much ignore most words they have on that position. Taking partisans too seriously entails investing extra-thought into separating the spin from the "truth". Put another way: reading RushLimbaugh.com to determine what's wrong with America would probably melt my brain.

Yes, everyone has biases: the key, at least for political understanding, is to determine how biased they are before engaging.
There has to be a relatively short, simple answer as to how Jesse Jackson will make money from requesting this information from Twitter.

Is it that he raises his profile in some way, and then he can profit from being marginally more famous? I honestly can't think of anything else.

And then I'd like to know why that matters. If this is information that Twitter has an ethical responsibility to release (and I'm not saying that it is), who cares who asks for it?
In the past, I would have jumped at these demo apps screaming "but they won't feel native! They won't integrate well!"... however, these days all major OS developers are busy knee-capping themselves and making their desktops feel and act like webpages, so hey, it might actually work.
I have a lot of friends who have passed their fundamentals exam (FE) and are on their way to become 'professional' engineers and I can guarantee you many accredited professional engineers do work that I would have a harder time calling engineering than a front end dev creating HTML files. Credentials certainly don't make someone an engineer, and neither does pay.
As I said previously once you start (massively) cutting cables it means you're at war.

I agree, anything I put out comes with one expectation on my part, I may be contacted regarding it. I do not feel any obligation to support it, I have no relationship with someone randomly contacting me over something.

Though, I put anything I want to be kept private is on bitbucket.

My job is basically fixing the code and processes of corporate programmers who copy/paste examples from websites into production systems. There's little understanding of how the code works and almost no reading of related documentation. If I compiles, I ships.

It's like if bridge designers didn't really know mechanics and just copy/pasted minecraft designs into the real world. Sure, it's not the fault of minecraft designers, but we can help kill fewer people by making better examples.
Not buying the argument that we have it harder now - that we have to 'work really hard' for a living. There may be local variations in the last couple of decades. But go back 200 years and boy howdy they had it hard. Infant mortality; general health and diet; violent death and vulnerability to weather and economic climate. They were orders of magnitude a bigger issue in the average life.

And students aren't interested in 'what makes us human'? I know quite a few students, and its a very large part of their makeup. They are young and relatively ignorant and college can be a wonderland of discovery.

I know what you mean. I've used cannabis a lot in my past, and my life was basically standing still. But without, my life felt unbearable. It turned out that changing what I was doing with my life eliminated the need completely, and without any signs of withdrawal effects.

It was also the case that it's not cannabis that introduced bad habits, it was that the bad habits led to (the need of) cannabis use to ease my mind.

Now, I use it as a tool for creativity, when I'm working with my music.

I would also like to share this video, about how addiction seems to work:

> when did you last see an advocate for government action invite falsification?

All the time: very often advocates of government action tend to predict an association between specific government actions and specific results, rather than ascribing bad results to "government" generally and good results to "the market", drawing both bad and good results from scenarios where government regulation shapes the market; while anti-government advocates like to pretend that there is a symmetry between their non-specific advocacy against government and some opposing advocacy for government, that's not actually the case.
Maybe we should fix the "education is expensive and people have no money" things also then?

Instead of taking them as granted and designing education around them?

Education is quite cheap in Europe for example -- to the point of a few thousand dollars per year or less plus living expenses (which can be near zero if you live with your parents as lots do).
I bet most people that cook food at McDonald's would think you were mocking them if you called them a chef.
If you want to throw around oughts and shoulds, I would confine those to the rational/empirical side of the spectrum because that is the very foundation upon which a society may be constructed.

Now, once that society is constructed, all of the other stuff is nice to have, but I would not describe those things in morally imperative terms like that.
Yeah but I'm sure Katy Perry gets enough out of the service to pay it $10k a year. For example.

Total revenue would be lower, yes, but that should be matched by cost-cutting. These companies' head-counts are bloated compared to the services they offer.

I know there's a lot more to Twitter than the simplistic short-messaging system it seems to be from the outside (speed, scaling, etc)...but does it really need over 4,000 people to run it? I highly doubt it.

The transition from it being fun to being torture was strange for me.

When I was a teenager I could sit around smoking at parties or with groups of friends playing computer games getting high, or even just walking the streets stoned and it was an intensely pleasurable experience.

At about the age of 21 that all changed over the course of a week and suddenly being high made me feel paranoid and anxious.

Being high in a social situation was horrible because I felt like all eyes were on me, judging every little move and sound that I made.

I had to stop smoking completely because it was making me feel awful and honestly, I was dependent on it by that point. I couldn't watch movies or play games and the like without being high first because I was always pining after that 'enhanced' experience that was better than the sober experience.

I don't smoke anymore (29 years old now) but I've tried taking a few tokes socially a few times over the years to see if I could enjoy it again. Not a chance unfortunately, I sink right into that paranoia and anxiety within minutes.

Confiscate and do what with it? Distribute it to the poor? That would only be a (very) short term fix to a long term problem. These billionaires would be replaced by new ones.

Perhaps a better solution might be to fundamentally rethink the role of money, work, economy etc in a radically different world (robots, unsustainable population etc).

Keep in mind that Stalin is a very small subset of R4RS (note that the current is R7RS-small), and in many ways becomes a very small portion of an already small language. This makes it easy to optimize, but can be annoying if you're coming from other languages that are less spartan.

As for using Stalin, I would argue that nowadays it is better to use the CHICKEN port of Stalin [1], as it is a bit more up-to-date and provides some extensions (such as using '\n' in string literals, something Stalin didn't provide from the outset!!!). In any case, it's nice to see the variety in Scheme implementations, but in the case of Stalin I personally turn my nose up, as CHICKEN is often fast enough on it's own (or can be made to be), without restricting myself to a very tiny set of tools and libraries. That's not to say the work on Stalin hasn't been appreciated, I'm sure Gambit and CHICKEN have taken their fair share of ideas from Stalin as time has gone on.

I haven't actually taken this on a different tangent. You literally wrote that you would only institutionalize those with a mental illness that is in the DSM, when questioned you said only certain illnesses would apply, so now I'm asking what illnesses and disorders you believe apply.

There are a group of people in Australia called Ferals. They don't eat well, and they never bathe. They do it out of choice. I'm sure some of them are mentally ill. I wouldn't be locking them up in an institution!

Few think property rights aren't important. But it's a relatively small number of people who think they're more important than anything else.

Property rights fundamentalists, like all fundamentalists, have the emotional benefit of experiencing low cognitive dissonance. But if inequality keeps increasing, they're going to be very surprised when they discover that when push comes to shove, most people value other things over property rights.

This is very interesting, and such a great idea. Doing a textual analysis of all the emails would be really interesting.
So far I have looked through almost all of the emails and its amazing how they word everything.

It seems that they love using the word "Friend". They also love using the word, "Chip" when they as for donations. Also marco robio is going with asking the citizens for a "Favor" and to donate $7 or more.

Pretty interesting stuff.

Not sure what gives you that impression. During the impeachment of Andrew Johnson, Chief Justice Chase cast 2 tie breaking votes on procedural issues. The purpose of this provision (Article 1, Section 3 - Chief Justice presides over the trial of the President in cases of impeachment) was separation of powers but the authors appear to have overlooked that value when it comes to the Vice President.

After my team made a half-hearted attempt to adopt something vaguely resembling agile scrum, I suggested we simplify by just using a Trello kanban board.

The ease of adoption makes it a good way to just get started, which is what we needed.
Agreed. Its popular for publications with a goal, to write pseudo-scientific articles. They adopt the forms of science or investigative journalism. But they cherry-pick to suit their agenda. Its vital to know who is writing something, before you can digest it responsibly.
> Not buying the argument that we have it harder now

We, you and I probably not. But plenty of others do work extremely hard. Quite probably not as hard as the people that farmed the land or worked in cotton mills 200 years ago, but still, pretty hard.

The danger is to see this stuff through a personal lens, the world is a very large place and life has gotten a lot more complicated requiring ever higher levels of education to partake in the spoils.

It's like the Douglas Adams bit, 'Many people were rich, and nobody was really poor, at least, nobody worth speaking of' or something to that extent.

There is poverty, it's real, and quite a few people work hard to extremely hard to escape it and yet they can't seem to achieve 'escape velocity'. And not exactly everybody goes to college either.
I worked for a company that was an international distributor.. basically they'd try to sell implementations of said software, and make a profit on the project. They'd also sell training, etc.

It works for stuff like ERPs or other highly customizable software.

It's also very important if you need to win government bids, etc., if your company is not registered as a supplier, then you NEED a distributor who is.
Reading first sources is great. A lot can get lost in translation, so you're right, in some aspects liberal arts have lost rigor by not analyzing the original Greek Latin or Sanskrit texts.

I didn't do this project to convince people that the "write once, run everywhere" is the holy grail but I wanted to explore how it is possible to do it with the actual tools.

It happened to be really convincing (at least to me) in the case of a small project like the one I did but I am also convinced that for bigger projects people should be very careful and think twice before going with this paradigm.

I think this is largely due to the greater shipping distances (rail gets cheaper relative to trucking as the distances gets greater), and maybe a bit the lack of interference from passenger rail.

Btw, in Europe many networks are state owned, some are privately owned. By open-access regulation forces every track-owner to open their tracks for a fee to other operators. There's also a distinction between track-owners and track-operators, even if a single company may be both.
Yes, but the gut feeling has the caveats attached (or anyway, I also prefer it to be made clear that it is a gut feeling).
