«Are you suggesting some other consequence of this case, leading to stagnation of IE development?»

I think that you could see a lot of optimistic excitement from Microsoft in the idea of merging IE into Windows just prior to the antitrust case. There were experiments with using the HTML renderer everywhere in the OS from widgets (the "Active Desktop" thing) to applications (HTML Help, even the HTML usage of Windows (now File) Explorer)... Admittedly today with have mixed opinions of such experiments (and their often poor performance), but it is hard not to wonder what could have happened had Microsoft invested fully into that combined Windows/IE rendering platform had they been less afraid of the antitrust repercussions...

We're finally starting to see HTML/JS/CSS "everywhere" application toolkits (it's a vertical slice in the "Universal Windows Platform", and then there's efforts like Electron and Cordova), and it's interesting to think that maybe some of that would have happened sooner in a world without that antitrust lawsuit. (Certainly the counter is that it would have been less standardized, but I don't think that is necessarily the case, either: it would have largely have been different standards though.)

I just wanted to say, jerky-cam has it's place (albeit often not in action scenes).

An example of good jerky-cam is HBO's The Knick. It's a turn-of-the-century period series that doesn't have a sentimental veneer to it, but shows the gritty truth of life during that time.

To dispell any notion of that sentimental perspective, the shots are taken with unsteady, hand-held frame (they also forgo the vasoline lens you'd see on something like Masterpiece theatre).
> Starbucks prides itself on its care for “partners,” the noun it prefers to employees. It pays higher wages, offers health insurance even to part-time workers and pays college tuition for thousands of eligible employees. Starbucks employee turnover is relatively low, yielding benefits in efficiency and morale.

On a related note, Starbucks also has very LGBT-friendly policies at every level; they're well ahead of the curve in terms of non-discrimination policies and trans-inclusive health benefits. It's widely known within the LGBT community, and especially the trans community, that if you're LGBT and looking for a retail job, Starbucks is the number one place to look.

They do an amazing job at treating their employees well.
Economic growth does not strictly require specific raw materials and natural resources. With ingenuity and time, it is almost always possible to utilize alternative resources or recycle/reuse existing ones (e.g. seawater desalination).

The constraints seem to be our intelligence and perhaps energy. Energy could probably be solved with sufficient intelligence as well--e.g. nuclear fusion.

Negative externalities, such as anthropogenic climate change, are a real concern. We do not yet have good ways to neutralize all of those but it does not mean we never will. It is in some sense a race between consumption and invention.

"Don't be a wussy."

On a serious note, not every gender stereotype is inherently bad. I don't recall ever making a threat against anyone, certainly not doxing them, and don't support the behavior. Some people tend to force a victim mentality, it doesn't mean that they aren't victims, I'm only saying it's so as there are instances where I think we've gone too far.

The concept of "trigger warnings" in classrooms just seems absurd. Also, people can't take a joke anymore. Many comics won't even do shows at college campuses anymore. It's kind of a sad statement.

As a kid, I was picked on more than most.. and while I feel such behavior shouldn't be encouraged, you can't stop all bad behavior in an instant, and becoming militant about it will only serve to fan the flames. Compare racial tensions in the U.S. vs the U.K. for example.

There are times to speak out, and times to suck it up.

To be interrogated or detained (the pre-arrest stuff) is not benign. It is full of risk because police are sanctioned to use force on citizens. It is especially risky for non-whites, especially if they try to exercise their rights. This story is about what it's like to experience these phenomena in real life. Did I make that easy enough for you all that are struggling to see the value in this piece?

Both Mars and Venus would need some sort of radiation shield.

"the guy is stopped because he's black, average size and wears a knitted hat during the winter."

Because the description of the suspect is "black, average size, and wears a knit cap." Indeed the description could have been more complete. Whomever interviewed the victim might have botched it. Maybe the woman was completely wrong. Maybe the communication for a BOLO was still incomplete.

But that's the description they had and that's the description they went on. These cops could have been less intimidating, but with the information they had, they still had to check this guy out.

The point is that people with such senses find it utterly obvious that they do, while those without are incredulous - and demanding proof - that they do. Such proof is hard to satisfactorily address (as elaborated on in the Wells story), seems needlessly overwrought to those being tested, and all too often is nonetheless dismissed anyway by those without.

If you haven't read the Wells story, it may behoove you to do so before criticizing my post further. The point is largely addressed. And sorry if the word "insane" bothered you; seems a proper use given that the implication is she's claiming a "power" which others here are disputing (if she doesn't have it, seems the term applies).

Plenty of private industries have incidents. How would this be different? There's already well-established legal and insurance systems in place to handle them. Also, privately run infrastructure has more of incentive to have a safe track (literally) record. Unlike government monopoly, they could loose a lot of money, lose their contract, or both.
What....why the heck would you give 8 year olds iPads....my littlest brother was born in 2002 I think and when he turned 8 his school didn't do this nonsense.

They should be reading from regular books and get regular chalkboard/whiteboard Lectures and doing hands on activities.

Instead of giving them iPads you could have a small set of time in the week to go onto a desktop computer and learn how to keyboard and do those kid like programming exercises and maybe some fun online learning tools.

Technology is only bad for kids if you don't know how to ration it and talk to them about it and limit it to educational uses.

Just giving them iPads makes no sense. All you're doing is helping Apple lol.....

You cannot even teach them practical academic tech stuff like keyboarding or programming using those kid friendly programming applications like Minecraft.

Or at least lock down the iPads so it only has educational apps.

"Eyewitness identification is known to be extraordinarily weak..." and then "...the police readily admitted that he didn't match the description."

You can't have it both ways. If they know the description they have from an eyewitness is weak, then they have to dig deeper to make sure they're not releasing the actual suspect. In this case, he never mentioned whether the eyewitness actually came along and said it wasn't him. All we know is that we was not arrested and no longer detained. We don't know why.

Right. I take this verbal tic as an indication that the banks do not think bitcoin is a viable financial protocol, as the reward structure of bitcoin is essential to how it works. Blockchain without bitcoin, or blockchain that distributes tokens arbitrarily, is not trustworthy. It is "trusted" ie vulnerable to defection by any member institution. The banks pushing blockchain without bitcoin might as well be using the Ripple protocol for their desired applications, given that they do not seek the benefits of nakamoto distributed consensus.

IMHO, this description is practically useless. It is, in fact, racial profiling; that's the effective description. And the officer's knew that when they took it down from the witness and they knew that when they pulled this man (and likely several others) over for questioning.

I would not so easily let the officers off the hook. The worst case is that this happens so often, they don't even see it for what it is.

Proof?
A reduction in working hours does not equate to a reduction in productivity. We should be striving to minimize time spent working while maximizing productivity as a basic goal of capitalistic society.

Also this old argument about reduced work incentives is becoming increasingly invalid as an expansion in permanent structural unemployment due to automation, hyperefficiency, and globalized labor markets is spelling the end of industrial labor to begin with. Meaning that there simply are not enough jobs to go around, regardless of incentive. It's one thing to chalk unemployment up to laziness in an era of abundant opportunity, it's quite another in a post-industrial era of labor scarcity.

In a way, you have found the purpose of E-Prime. While your speech or writing will use more words to avoid use of "to be," you will actually communicate more since you are describing more instead of simply making a proclamation. Word count will increase, but meaning and information will increase as well.

And yes, it did take me a little bit longer to write this comment following the constraint.
I'm saying your original example was specifically crafted to make people think teachers are well-paid ("average salaries over $75k... school admins routinely take home $125k") by cherry-picking a specific outlier. When I called you on it, you found real data showing the average is actually $55k, which means many salaries are even lower than that. Now you've backpedaled so far as to say the average teacher salary is roughly equivalent to "a ba with zero experience," which I would categorize as criminally underpaid for a position so crucial to the upbringing of our country's children.
Blockchains are necessary for Bitcoin, but Bitcoin is not necessary for blockchains.

"The Blockchain" (big B) is the original blockchain (small b) used for Bitcoin, but it's only one possible implementation. It's like saying Postgres, MySQL, etc. aren't 'true' SQL databases only Codd's original implementation is -- now, obviously the metaphor doesn't quite hold because of the distributed nature of blockchains, but it's disingenuous to say that there's only one canonical implementation of a technology.

The Blockchain and Bitcoin are valuable proof-of-concept implementations of blockchains, but there's value to be gained from separating the general ideas from specific instances.
How are we defining "home" here? Does the typical small-time burglar own a house? Does he care about skipping out on a lease? Does he even HAVE a lease or is has he been sleeping on the couches of 'friends?' If I'm committing a small burglary, I doubt I'm very attached to my current address.

Back to this story: you have to check out whomever matches the description and is nearby. The only thing that the police needed to do in this situation was to not make it a situation. Reaching for that gun was The Wrong Thing To Do because this guy was cooperating.

> when manipulating real binary or in memory data, a little bit of C would really simplify

In what sense? Accessing an octet in a buffer and performing basic bitwise operations on it is equivalent:

# C _and_ Python
some_buffer[idx] & 0x80

Reading a buffer in Python is slightly less error-prone, as errors are automatically converted to exceptions, which can be caught at a more centralized location in the code; in C, one must check for errors (and manually propagate those errors) at every read; this applies a bit less in C++, though even there, the stdlib leaves some things to be desired (but generally speaking, they can be wrapped away).

Text encoding/decoding, struct packing, and base64 aren't in C or its standard library.

Now, in terms of speed, C wins hands down. (I wrote a minecraft file parser in both C++ and Python, and the difference was several orders of magnitude.)
