The line I quoted says "doesn't like" not "hate" but by equating the two and then banning "hate speech" you are succeeding in your goal of shutting down ideas and discussion.

Well done.

Well, if racism and sexism are real (they are) and person A believes that these are bad, then if person B disagrees with person A, that means person B believes racism and/or sexism are not bad.

Language like "racist/sexist" suggests that it's a binary, that each person is either racist or not racist. It's more useful to recognize that the dominant culture in the US is racist and that people benefit from/support that culture to varying degrees. Person B supports it.
So it doesn't matter what is being said as long as it is coming from the right person?
My earphones kept breaking (I use them while working out) so I reinforced the sensitive area with a heat-shrink wire wrap, like these:

Still... it isn't often that the Internal Revenue Service greets them with shotguns drawn. But that's what happened to rapper Young Buck - real name David Darnell Brown - on August 3rd, as the IRS attempted to satisfy a tax debt of roughly $300,000.[1]

Three businessmen told the Senate Finance Committee today of Internal Revenue Service agents who, with guns drawn, broke down doors, terrified workers and forced teen-age girls to change clothes in front of male agents in raids at the men's homes and businesses that they said were unnecessary.[2]

redux-router is still in beta, so this isn't entirely fair.

No, you should have used an analogy that actually works.
There's an open issue to replace redux-router with this package:

Yup, I always followed your exact advice and still wound up with frayed and ultimately broken cables within 10 months or so.

It's always possible that I just have bad luck. That doesn't mean I dislike your advice though.
Maybe. If I could somehow target that money to content that interest me, then yes. But I would not fund news coverage of British royal family. You could make it into "crowd commission". That might instill bit of healthy pride to the authors.

Ok - can you elaborate why you so clearly favour aggression and blaming Ireland rather than simple domestic legislation and general political will to prevent these companies using other countries as tax havens?

A sensible move.
I'm certain that poor whites are better off than poor blacks, but both are much worse off in most respects than wealthier people of all races. The problem is that poor and lower middle class people of all races are fighting among themselves for scraps.

Yes poor whites are privileged compared to poor blacks, and poor blacks are privileged compared to poor indians living on a reservation. There is almost always someone worse off than you, arguing about who is the most worse off is the wrong fight.

The groups that we divide people into are fairly arbitrary anyway. Why stop at race? Surely you can subdivide any race into smaller groups where some are more privileged than others.

But to most people taking about privilege (especially college students) this issue is purely binary. If you are white you're privileged, if you're black you're not. To them it doesn't matter if you're comparing a middle class black guy and a dirt poor white dude.
Your comment assumes that Pfizer will no longer be obligated to pay taxes at all, which is untrue. They'll pay less taxes, particularly on capital gains and such that allow them to benefit from double-Irish style tax avoidance, that does not mean they aren't paying taxes.

It would be an interesting though experiment to determine the exact cost those services provide, submit them an actual invoice, and then do the math on whether or not services rendered are more or less than taxes paid, but without it, it seems naive to assume that paying less taxes is in any way equivalent to paying no taxes.

Presumably, they get those same services in their countries of operation, and at a lower cost, which opens up an entirely new pool of questions. Are services in Dublin substantially less than what we have in America? Why is the cost of American services so much higher? If services are similar, how is Ireland able to provide them at such a discount? Will Ireland continue discounting their services as they attract more and more businesses? Etc.
Thanks for the suggestion!

A big differentiator is that we are purely news and events based. The others are general use (or in the case of Twitch more geared towards video game broadcasts). The idea is that this focus will help us have a higher concentration of quality news media, making it easier for people to find what they are looking for. We want to be a hub for citizen journalism.

Our content is also perpetual and will never disappear after a period of time.
I'm not the OP, but I'm working on a project that originally did not use Redux, but was integrated after the fact. It is using a presentation layer other than React, and thus we would not be able to use this router.

>> When he was with her, he was Mark Stone.

More accurately, he was Mark Kennedy pretending to be someone called Mark Stone. Saying he was Mark Stone didn't magically make him Mark Stone.

>> She consented to have sex with him, that's it.

Because she didn't know he was an undercover policeman. He obtained her consent by abusing his authority as a police officer. His superiors also abused their authority by ordering or permitting this to happen. They took away her ability to make an informed decision about whether she wanted to enter into a sexual relationship with that man.

> 44 years for attempted murder of a police officer... Makes you wonder how big a sentence you'd get if you succeeded, more than a lifetime?

Probably depends on the state, but where I grew up (Ohio), murder of an on-duty officer is one of the few crimes where capital punishment is possible.
I think there might be some that apply to your criteria, for example at least in some European countries, sugary foods are controlled by taxation. I mean something like the idea of banning infinite scroll that someone mentioned earlier might be worth considering.
"people who are self made".

There is no such thing.

A single child raised to finish college costs the taxpayer in Germany 300'000 Euro in subsidized nursery, free school, and free college.

Additionally, each person costs a lot for roads, public transit, etc.

And then you have to add in that for every person who gets to become a billionaire, you have hundredthousands who won’t become billionaires, but still cost you equally much. There’s no way to find out who is going to become a self-made millionaire, and who isn’t.

And society already tries to provide many programs only to those kids with high potential, to save money. Programs like this [1] are already exclusive.

If you want to give the generation of your kids the same chances at becoming self-made millionaires, you have to provide all of them with this high quality service.

Which means you have to accept nominal tax rates of 48%+.

> Discussing nursing isn't relevant, and even if it is two wrongs don't make a right, which is the logical fallacy you keep making here. But if you want to hear me say it: there's a shortage of nurses and the fact that men aren't going into it due to social pressures is an issue.

As long as we're pointing out fallacies, you're attacking a straw man here. I'm not saying two wrongs make a right; I'm saying neither wrong is actually a wrong. They are simply outcomes, neither negative nor positive. The overarching point I'm trying to make is that if we both agree we need more nurses, and we both agree we need more techies, and we both agree that men tend toward tech and women tend toward nursing, and operating under the assumption that it's a zero sum game (hint: it's not), then there's nothing wrong with women staying in nursing to keep the overall number of nurses high and men staying in tech to keep the overall number of techies high.

I simply do not see the need for the fields of nursing and tech to swap genders until they both hit some gender equilibrium. The goal should be to increase the overall volume of both nurses and techies (and decrease, perhaps, the number of lawyers ;-).

And by the way, the other day my 3 year old daughter told me she wants to be a nurse when she grows up. It would feel wrong to discourage her by pushing her toward a career in programming, but maybe that's just me.

edit: grammar and added the bit about increasing overall volume of nurses and techies

I liked the following comment.
The speaker himself is probably biased as to what happened to him:

As a student of ‘centerville high school’ as well, I can assure you this comment is completely true. While multiple questions were phrased as attacks towards Haidt personally, many of them were completely rational. In response to one question (about his annoyance towards people who are pushing women to be in more stem positions) he stated a very vague position on how women, no matter their environmental conditions in childhood, are still predisposed to not be in stem positions (genetically).
This was not the only ‘sketchy’ point he made. The question about his condoning of rape, while completely unnecessary, was founded on his insensitivity towards the subject (which continued into many subjects, including race and gender).
His careful picking of data allowed his points to made clearly and succinctly in his mind. Questions that were too long or that had follow ups were completely ignored. In response to one of the first (albeit angry and unnecessary) questions, Haidt’s response was to tell the audience that in order to fully look at an argument, one had to look at both sides, something I (as someone who did believe in a large amount of what Haidt was saying) had to scoff at. His entire argument was founded on the idea that everyone being free to say whatever they want is the best thing possible for American schools, while being politically correct in all scenarios is the worst thing possible for American schools. Obviously there are positive and negative aspects to both. This completely contradicts his belief to look at both sides of an argument dispassionately, not to mention being hard, as students who do care about their education, to listen to.
Haidt’s talk was difficult to listen to. Even though I believe in almost all of his points (despite being part of many, although not all, of the minority groups mentioned) his inability to speak to us effectively (in a way that didn’t seem like he condoned rape) made it so that his argument was not relayed to us clearly. His blatant misunderstanding of his audience put him in the position to be attacked.
One can say that he did that on purpose, to prove his point about shaking those who do walk on eggshells. But that doesn’t work. Telling defensive people their wrong doesn’t work. Sorry.

Do you mean the premise that the patriarchy exists?
Putting aside the merits of allowing or disallowing refugees, this comes across as incredibly smug and juvenile. It's this kind of disingenuous "anyone who disagrees with me is a bigot" logic hiding behind the stated intent of "opening a dialogue" that divides people. That, and social media comment areas will usually attract the most extreme views. I assume that the comments posted aren't the views of the entire town and so it's not fair to call the entire town racist.
Phone banking is where the disruption is.

Cue M-Pesa.
One thing that I haven't seen anyone mention is that this sort of walking on eggshells culture tends to build higher walls around the privileged and powerful group. How often do you think these privileged rich white boys go on to become employers and refuse to higher someone from an out group (consciously or unconsciously) due to fear that the slightest misinterpreted off hand remark could bring hell down on them, but if they hire the other privileged white guy they can comfortably be themselves without risk.

I think even if you have the most leftist SJW views and objectives, you have to see this as counter productive.
Wasn't "8 years in Siberia" likely a death sentence?
Agreed. This happens on both sides almost all the time.

In this context, it is the left for sure. But I can imagine plenty of situations where it happens on the right in practice.

Exactly this. If the US would have a similar tax rate and policy to Ireland, this merger might not have happened. Many of these transactions are happening because they deliver quick, untapped gains. You just need to unlock them by doing an inversion deal. Or in other words, even an overpriced deal pays for itself.
I teach at a University - this semester, using an outlook.com account (I have my university e-mail forwarded there and some students send e-mails there directly), I've probably gotten 2-3 student e-mails in my spam folder / week for almost the entire semester.

Not antiquated at all. Protectionism has always been an integral part of U.S. economic policy since the beginning, though I don't think even ardent tariff and land law act proponents would have went as far as to threaten war on countries with more favorable business conditions (actually, the trend has been war on not being favorable enough, but otherwise retain strong domestic policies).

Apple behaves like it's doing everyone a favor just by existing to be frank. Steve Jobs knew how to get shit done even if he was an asshole about it but that attitude he had permeated the organization. It might not be the right word but the only way I can think to describe the way Apple treats people is "snobbish". You can be awesome and do awesome things without being an asshole about it.

Are you suggesting that in addition to the shoplifting and the attempted murder that you suspect there might be an additional crime that is bad enough to justify the courts sending him to prison for the shoplifting?

Or are you suggesting that the badness of the attempted murder might be such that the 44 years was inadequate and so the additional 8 months is acceptable as additional punishment for the attempted murder?

Your wording is somewhat ambiguous. I can tell there are some scenarios that you believe are possible and which justify the additional sentence, but I'm not sure what exactly those scenarios are.
"It is not that I am “unwilling to configure our software so that comments posted before the new policy is implemented remain under chosen screen names.” I extensively investigated that possibility and was unfortunately told by our content-management software experts that such a configuration is impossible."

Is there actually any possible CMS where this problem cannot be solved in one line of code? It's either a terrible excuse/lie or one of those examples of why I'm so happy not to be working at a large organisation wrangling ancient legacy systems.
While it's clear that Apple attempts to limit the production of junk peripherals by patenting its connectors, it would be great if licenses were made readily available to companies wishing to make high quality stuff.

Even just putting a magsafe connector on the brick itself would allow the cable to be easily replaced if it frayed.

Does anyone know if Apple laptops contain enough protective circuitry to be used safely with inferior power adapters? It appears that some of that sophistication is actually just moving parts out of the laptop and into the adapter.
> Maybe a difference: A p-value is what a researcher has in mind before the hypothesis test as a 'cutoff value', say, 5%, for alpha while alpha is whatever the statistical hypothesis test says, for the data and the test, is the probability of Type I error, e.g., 3.141592653 or some such random number. So, since the 3.14 is less than the p-value of 5%, the experimenter rejects the null hypothsis. MAYBE this is the difference, if any, between p-value and alpha, in which case we're talking a triviality.

This is completely wrong: you're confusing the alpha and the p-value. Maybe you meant that alpha (5% in your example) is the preset type I error rate (significance level) and the p-value (here 3.14%) is calculated from the data. But conceptually the alpha and the p-value are different things and shouldn't be mixed. 3.14% is definitely not "for the data and the test, [...] the probability of Type I error".

If you're doing hypothesis testing, you calculate 3.14 which is less than 5 (alpha) and you reject the null hypothesis. If the calculation had yielded 0.69 instead of 3.14 you would also reject the null hypothesis. But you cannot consider the second result to be "stronger" than the first one. They are both below the threshold and that's all that matters.

If you're using p-values as evidential measures, the second result is indeed "stronger" because 0.69<3.14. But in this framework there are no error rates involved.

> The paper you referenced also starts to get wound up over beta = 1 - alpha as the power of a test.

I've not looked at the paper carefully, but it's unlikely. Power = 1 - beta, it is not directly related to alpha. (Maybe it's just a typing error, I'm not sure what is your point. I mention it mostly for the benefit of other readers that might be confused by your definition.)
What about someone who argues "Rape victims don't matter because they are just women, and women's feelings are not important"

That isn't something that can be argued against with facts. You can't present evidence to counter this, because they didn't use facts to come to the opinion. As the saying goes, "You can't reason someone out of a position they didn't reason themselves into"

There are a certain class of opinions that we need to be able to dismiss with just a "that is just not worthy of even talking about." While I believe this list of things should be very small, it DOES exist.
Study Shows That 17% of Black Friday “Deals” Cost More Than Amazon
> But we all know the reality: people are imperfect and therefore so is their technology. A server could return a 200 status on a page that you are not authorized to see.

That's the whole problem. 99+% of the time the status code is correct and the server will give you the data if it's supposed to but not if it isn't. It's generally quite reliable and people are expected to and do rely upon it -- that's what it's for.

But 100% of the cases that end up in court will be in the <1% where the server made a mistake.

If we had a better way to deterministically evaluate authorization than what the server is using then we could use it to improve the server and therefore ought to.

So we have a choice: Either it is impossible to deterministically evaluate whether access to a particular server is authorized, or we defer to the server's determination (and improve the server where possible). In the latter case this law is obviously then redundant and silly, but that doesn't make it the wrong choice.
> If he instead simply worked for those same hours and earned $100 an hour, he could pay 10 people to work at the same soup kitchen and help 10 times as many homeless. That's the kind of tradeoff you don't think about if you don't realize that money is fungible with regard to caring.

A statement that 'money is fungible with regards to caring' ignores the network effects that happens when money becomes prioritized, like a version of the Jevons paradox, in which a relative efficiency in coal resulted in an absolute increase in coal consumption.
