[...] are what creates dysfunctional men.

Even if we posit what you say is true, there are no alternate expression and communication toolboxes presented as a set of life skills. The only thing society has offered are signals that society wants men to cry more, and only in the situations they're socially cued to cry.

The comment you're replying to says "Masculinity is not something to be feared or ashamed of, teaching that is what creates dysfunctional men."

What other impression do you expect men to get when they're told the problem with masculinity is that it's too masculine? For them to act LESS stoic? Is society going to accept with open arms an entirely new form of expression?

Especially when the people who fancy themselves able to understand the problems with masculinity cue men to be more stoic while pretending to want the opposite. (The more degenerate form of it from people that get all their philosophy from blogs with Fox News levels of bullshit even has a cute little hastagh for it #MasculinitySoFragile)
Big Oil: Which Are the Top Biggest Oil Companies?

This is really great. I've contributed to lots of projects and it would be nice if maintainers were all this thoughtful. If not actively encouraging people to get involved, it would be nice of maintainers to simply acknowledge or appreciate someone's effort.

I've contributed a lot of code and have had vastly different experiences. Sometimes people are excited and accept a PR without question. Some people just ignore PRs. Some people make you feel as though you've just spit in their face. I had one pull request that I thought was reasonable which was met with a ridicule from the maintainer at how useless my idea was (to him). I'm a seasoned programmer with my own projects and a lot of code under my belt but, even knowing how these things work, that one really soured me on his project. I can't imagine if a novice who was excited at their first PR was treated so poorly.

If I could suggest anything to maintainers, it would be to simply appreciate that somebody was trying to contribute. If their code doesn't meet your goals or standards, try to still respect that they spent some time on your project.

Victim of fraud or not, how should the INS have handled it differently? If someone at your company is found trading job offers to unqualified people for money, should those unqualified people keep the jobs? Of course not. What if those unqualified people used an intermediary to proffer the bribe? Doesn't change anything. Sad story all around for the victim of fraud. That's why they are called a victim. Being a victim sucks and is nothing to be proud of.

> There are many ways to do it, you just need to pick a convention.

The fact that you have to pick a convention is the crux of the issue. "Easy" is a subjective term, but the fact is there isn't a direct mapping between XML And JSON.

It means that if you're using XML and converting it into a programming data structure, you have to make a bunch of decisions about how to handle the XML. It means that if you're converting a programming data structure to XML, you have to have a bunch of specific rules for how to generate that XML.

With JSON, you only have to make those decisions if you need to use data structures that aren't supported by JSON.
Yep. Every single charger we've owned has had to be replaced after a year or two.

And If you really want to actually degrade ISIS's capabilities, you start by bombing their money pipeline - the hundreds of oil trucks making their way to turkey in return for millions of dollars. You know the kind of action, the USAF and its so-called allies didn't do for over a year, until the Russians got into the game and made them look stupid.

Erdogan's son is hand-in-glove with ISIS and any oil bombing affects his business.
The issue is that you are using your customer deposits to make the loans. When the loans default and they aren't paying a high interest rate to compensate you for the higher default rates, you don't have the money to redeem those deposits at face value, and then the NCUSIF (FDIC for credit unions) will have to step it. The regulators would rather prevent that in the first place.

There is an entire class of hedge fund who make their money by only investing in the stock of companies who are merging. This is called merger arb and this deal is a huge one.

Unfortunately it is about as uncertain as a deal can be due to concerns about the government not allow the merger.

For those of you who don't follow corporate mergers, there has been a trend recently of larger american based corporations doing mergers with smaller foreign companies to move their head quarters to another country where the corporate tax rate is lower, these are know as tax inversions.

Burger King famously recently merged with Canadian "icon?" Tim Hortons in an attempt to domicile the corporation in Canada to lower their tax rate.

This is only going to intensify and its corporations telling America that their corporate tax rates are too high.

The US has a tax rule specific to itself where by it taxes corps at 35% on profit no matter which country it was earned it. It does let companies deduct taxes paid to foreign governments but it leads to companies operating in a way to minimize their US taxes.

From the article linked at the bottom[0]:

> Pfizer takes in about 40 percent of its revenue from sales in the United States and 60 percent from foreign sales. Yet, according to its 2014 annual report, Pfizer had about $17 billion in pretax income from overseas, and almost a $5 billion pretax loss here in the United States. By shifting profits overseas, Pfizer pays relatively low cash taxes compared with the nominal United States tax rate of 35 percent. Instead, much of its American tax liability is illusory, taking the form of an obligation to pay taxes in the future if it repatriates cash to the United States.

This leads to companies jumping through hoops to shift earnings income around and to holding large chunks of cash off shore of the US.

This might be upsetting to some people who think corporations don't pay enough taxes but it's not going to go away. The world isn't going to get more protectionist, especially on the heals of TPP.

The US needs to deal with this.

> Those subreddits are "less than agreeable" because they advocate outlandish responses

Do they? What "outlandish responses" might those be? You're smearing by implication. What specifically do you find so "outlandish"? As far as I can tell, people making claims like yours think that creating a consistent set of rules for all, promoting free expression of all views, and countering group libel are thoughtcrimes. What's "disagreeable" is countering the idea that I might be guilty of something because of my gender and ancestry.
An interesting feature of switched-mode power supplies like this is that they'll run on DC input, if that's all you have! DC passes right through the bridge rectifier into the chopper---not sure how happy the PFC circuit would be about that---and the rest of the circuitry works as usual. If the DC supply voltage is high enough, it'll work.

I'm sure they've considered it, but my first thought would be to buy a magsafe to magsafe 2 converter for each batterybox and use that as the connector.

Seems like that would be better looking, but maybe it's still impractical.
The law is concerned primarily with the practical application of logic. Logic is a core tool of legal practice, but the day-to-day of practice is mostly grappling with the uncertainty that comes of applying generalized law to specific circumstances. At a very high level, you could compare it to engineering, especially on the transactional side.

Legal theorists---the mathematicians of the legal world---can stick to the pure forms, and even consider ones with no practical application, without pesky clients dragging them back to earth. They often get to use more of the arcane, cutting-edge tools of logic, which is also a branch of philosophy IMO.

At least speaking of the American legal system I deal with, laws and cases don't lead to just any conclusion. (I would call such a system "arbitrary", rather than "illogical".) Outcomes are rarely certain, but every time you read about especially civil litigation, you're usually reading about a case where at least two sides made big bets they were right.

A few thoughts on inherent contradiction:

1. Statutes, regulations, and cases cant' be read off the page and understood. They're just inputs to a system. For instance, statutes are routinely read very restrictively to avoid conflict with other statutes with greater authority. Some states will mark laws that are struck down accordingly in their statute books, but some don't.

2. When lawyers speak of "The Law", they usually don't just mean written, statutory law, or even case law. They're referring to the mass of probabilistic hypotheses informed lawyers hold about how courts and other institutions will react to regulated situations. Lawyers maintain running odds on various outcomes that matter to their clients by consuming legal input: reading case reports, monitoring new legislation, trading stories with colleagues. A very rigorous logic determines how those inputs affect the odds under which we all play. It's not simple boolean logic. It's much more developed than that.
> In a perfect world, the only thing that would matter in a justice system would be intent - it would determine whether one's to be punished or left alone. The issue of harm to the victim could be covered by insurance.

Not really: insurance for harm to victims deals with harms for which the justice system (particularly, the civil justice system) holds the insured liable. If the justice system doesn't deal with the harms, there is no liability to insure. It doesn't make sense to talk about insurance for harms to victims as a primary solution independent of the justice system.
That doesn't seem like an exactly fair comparison.

I think this is a really important point. It's dangerous to think that reading x amount of articles is the same as reading a book. With a book, you're taking one idea and going into immense detail over the course of a day, a week, or a month. Additionally, the size of books encourages and even requires in many instances that they be written with some degree of organization. This means it's much easier for the reader to find the information they're looking for and to skip over information they already understand. Most of the articles I read are poorly written. They fail the reader by not introducing important information (such as their point) as soon as possible. In fact, authors will purposely leave out all the important information til the end in a hubris effort to sensationalize the piece. This means that the best way for someone to read these articles is actually backwards (so you don't commit 15 minutes of reading just to find out you don't care about what the author actually had to say). It's silly, and I don't think I've ever seen it done in any book that I've actually read.

I think this isn't so much Jobs lying as it is him doing his normal embellishment.

Rod Holts design wasn't electrically unique, but it was extremely light and small. The Apple II wasn't the first computer to use a switching supply but it was shockingly light of a power supply which really helped the Apple II's reputation.

Which... as far as Jobs was likely concerned was all that mattered, but it wasn't the rip-off he claimed, it was just the start of the trend and Holt was at the right time to be one of the first on that wave.

I cut a discussion from my post about how I tend to actually philosophically deeply disagree with them, lest I sidetrack the conversation pointlessly. Despite my disagreements, and the fact I might value things somewhat differently than them, I broadly appreciate their taking time to analyze various charities for their effectiveness. Even if abstractly imperfect, and even if I would rate things somewhat differently, they're still gathering useful data that I think can go a long ways towards ensuring that you aren't just pissing into the wind and that your donations are having a real effect.
"how to push back against the perpetrators who are clearly acting in bad faith but stay on the legal side"

But by definition of being on the legal side, such people are not even perpetrators.

Perhaps "bad-faith-crimes" are something the legal system shouldn't get involved in (never mind that it cannot competently, as we agree). Among other reasons, the bad-faithness definition itself becomes easy to game (see "*ism!" accusations).
Yes, we know.

Asynchronous circuits: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asynchronous_circuit
having had 5 chargers' cables of 3 kinds break on me in less than 10 years, I agree wholeheartedly.

But I think TFA is about the charger internals, rather than the cables per se.
I've had this problem too, in my case it was caused by some clever (way too clever imo) stuff going on that tries to write a bunch of io ports to a safe place on suspend and writes that data back to the various chips on resume. This caused all kinds of trouble.

If your BIOS supports it choose 'sleep' rather than 'hibernate' for suspend/resume. It will be a bit slower but there is far less OS dependent magic going on under the hood.
My two cents is that once you start talking about "distributions" you add a layer of obfuscation that makes it a non-intuitive explanation.
> Shame on Apple for ignoring this very real problem with their product.

The cynic says they like it this way. By the time the charger goes bad the battery is already degraded and fixing both of them is so expensive that you might as well just buy a new device.
Would you agree with me in saying that the comments are at least disappointing?

In terms of the article itself, I agreed with this part, "High schools and colleges that lack viewpoint diversity should make it their top priority" which seems like a pretty progressive viewpoint. Let's make sure everybody's voice is heard, and let's make sure that voices that are usually silenced outside the classroom have equal footing inside. But a sentence later, bam - "Schools that value freedom of thought should therefore actively seek out non-leftist faculty."

I'm not sure how exactly that flows, and that's what led me to be disappointed. Moreover, the idea that students and faculty are living in "fear" and we have to accommodate their fears is also just a tad hypocritical.

I also have a problem with victimhood culture being a thing, but that's a whole different argument.
To expand on this, its the difference between knowing a field of knowledge, lets take cooking, and how to use a tool, lets say a knife. While you can learn a lot about how to use a knife by going to culinary school much of the knife and the process surrounding what makes a good knife, good and bad knife, bad is very specific knowledge. The analogy kinda falls apart because you need to touch on the topics and metallurgy and industrial process but hopefully that paints a reasonable pictures. Linux is a tool, a very complicated tool with specific features. CS/SE/IS education is a very general set of skill which should apply across not just Linux but most/all of computing.
Leave it to the NYT to shill for more taxes and more government. Of course the article doesn't mention one single factual dollar figure about this inversion, it only decries the horror. They estimate major inversions cost the treasury $2 billion a year. Wowsa, that's a rounding error in a $4 trillion annual budget.

I've encountered many deals where small foreign companies were looking at doing business in the US but when we explained to them federal and state corporate taxation they were discouraged from setting up shop here. I'm sure there are hundreds if not thousands of similar stories each year. Instead of reducing the US corporate tax burden (amongst the highest in the world) and encouraging companies to set up shop here, the US tax code discourages such investment and growth.
That would certainly make life easier on technologists--just read the HTTP code and if it's 200 you're good.

But the legal concept of authorization doesn't rest on technology, and there's actually a good reason for that: if the technology was that reliable, then you wouldn't need the law at all.

That is, if servers always returned a 401, 403, 511, etc. status code for unauthorized access attempts, then it would be impossible for unauthorized access to occur. And we don't tend to bother with laws restricting impossibilities.

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.
In the US saying "Peee Yooo" is often times combined with holding your nose. Sometimes each word is stretched for dramatic effect "Peeeeeuuueeee Yoooooooooo!"

Sorry, I saw how that could be misleading by saying that's so I clarified right away... not fast enough I see. I mean that comparing the observed data to a baseline gives you a p-value.
The problem with "balancing viewpoints" argument is that it isn't based on a critical ethos and so it cannot progress on the basis of logos. You can have a "balanced viewpoint" and still have debates about "whether the moon is made of the body of Vince Foster or not." There are certain ideas that just don't belong in a university setting because they are bunk and this has nothing to do with diversity of opinion.

It similar to the bogus fair and balanced media argument. News reporting is about reporting the facts as they lead logically so that if anyone would perform the work of the journalist they would arrive at similar conclusions regardless of their perspective or polity. It's very much like the scientific method. Focusing on opinion diversity is a red herring.
