> The 3He thing may not hold water, but the film just isn't about that.

Honestly your point kinda ruins the article entirely. What does it matter that 3He mining is implausible? It's an excuse to tell a story, and the story being told is the important part, not the 3He mining. I don't watch something like Moon to learn more about 3He mining, so it's plausibility doesn't matter to me—although maybe that's not the same for the author?
Is it still untrue if you do not drive drunk?
It's a problem that he's so scared, yes. But this particular incidents paints his fear as baseless paranoia.
Hmm. [citation needed] on the cost/benefit being applied evenly in practice, I think. As the sibling comment says, it's something of a self-fulfilling prophecy, the limit case of which would be an arcology of extremely dense, extremely expensive housing surrounded by cardboard slums.

And I'm not talking about "two villages of 100 people", I'm talking about such remote, unknown locations as Manchester and Birmingham (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GxZ1xn2ml10 may help explain Birmingham to Americans)

A very big factor is that London gets to have a proper state-owned local-government-controlled integrated public transport service, TfL. Most other places have to put up with private local monopoly bus services run by Stagecoach.
> Granted, I have taken the quote out of context. But so do religious fanatics.

You can't hand-wave this sort of thing away, since anyone can make the Bible say anything they want by selectively quoting it. You are doing more harm than good here.

The Old Testament law was set up to create a theocracy. Many infractions of the law were punishable by death. Contrast that to Jesus' teaching:

"You have heard that it was said, 'Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.' But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be children of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Are not even the tax collectors doing that? And if you greet only your own people, what are you doing more than others? Do not even pagans do that? Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect." (Matthew 5:43-8)

But of course, you'll need to understand the context in which Jesus is teaching to understand all of what he's saying in Matthew 5 and during his whole ministry.

In the very same chapter he addresses the law and says that he did not come to abolish it but to fulfill it. That statement has been a great point of contention through the ages as well.

Did I just make things worse by pulling a couple verses out of context? At least the ones I quoted don't advocate homicide.

As far as radical clerics/rabbis/priests/etc, religious leaders worth anything should encourage the congregation to look to the original texts rather than relying only on their words as final truth.
I agree. They could just use books in all classes like before, and possibly netbooks in an IT class (if they have one). It seems to me that the article came to the similar conclusion.
Sadly, for many people it is. Conscious people and lived ideals, people putting their money where their mouths are, are a rarity.

Yes, I would expect most officers to take this as a provocation. And the results can be even worse. Listen to this story for instance:

"So I ask them, 'Can I please see a warrant before you continue the search?' " Landau says. "And they grab me and began to hit me in the face. I could hear Addison in the background yelling, 'Stop! Leave him alone.'
This type of progression in software development is inevitable. Groups of people writing individual lines of code for bespoke apps will one day go the same way looms in factories went after the industrial revolution.

I run a software company, and we've actually moved away from fixed price projects and only provide development on a day rate. Fixed price/scope/timescale projects are incredibly risky, require massive amounts of project management resource, and can be insanely unprofitable if the specifications for the work are not watertight and the client isn't managed well.

Knowing the industry very well, and having completed hundreds of bespoke projects for all sizes and types of clients I have so many questions about how the Gigster model works. Off the top of my head:

* What language are the apps built in? This is important to me if I want to hire my own people to continue to build out and support the app going forward. I presume the mobile apps are native, so this question is probably more specific to the web development.

* Do I own the intellectual property on the finished app?
* What does the support and maintenance agreement look like and provide? And at what cost?

* What does the contract for development look like? The devil will be in the detail here. For example, I'd be interested to know what happens if my project overruns and deadlines are missed.

* What if I want something built that doesn't fit one of their various examples here https://gigster.com/pricing?

* Who writes the specification? Who creates the wireframes for the app?

* Who performs quality assurance testing? What happens if the work I receive is excessively buggy?

Bespoke development of software is hard and it's great to see somebody take this on. I wish Gigster luck but I fear for their sanity as they attempt to scale.
It is amazing that there has been so much resistance to this sort of thing.

I have no political axe to grind, no agenda to push and no particular opinion one way or another. I simply have a question: Is it important to his recounting of the story to emphasize that a "white woman" carried his fate? Would the story have the same impact if he simply said "victim"?

[Edit: grammar]
Daniel Dennett delves into an idea similar to this in his essays 'Where Am I?' and 'Self as a Center of Gravity'. I think he explains it a bit better than the parent comment which I found to be a bit too forceful. That can't be helped though, its not something you can sum up in a couple sentences.

Here the links to them for those who are interested:
('Where Am I?') http://www.newbanner.com/SecHumSCM/WhereAmI.html
('Self as a Center of Gravity') http://cogprints.org/266/1/selfctr.htm

The first one is a (fictional) story many people here might be interested in so I highly recommend it. If you are still interested read the second which delves deeper into personal identity but without the story.
Much praise and glory are due to the people of Japan for such a courageous and expensive undertaking.
> Would they have asked a successful white person to get in their cruiser and transported to the victim for identification? Hell no.

I have no experience with US police, but as a successful white person, this is exactly what I would expect police officers to do to me. Why the hell wouldn't US police do it?
It's also the conversations that go on when they are not playing that impresses me.

Less so with lego, as it's look at this, then destroyed and forgotten. With minecraft they have to articulate what they have created and why, and continuously improve and develop things.

> Group projects and emphasizing socialization is a crutch that incompetent teachers use to force their intelligent students to do their job for them.

I find the opposite true in my career. Business is 95% about how you interact with others; whether that is teaching, listening to, meeting with, understanding morale, etc.

Let's look at Agile, socialization is at the key, people over processes, scrum meetings every morning looking for who needs help and who can help, sprint meetings with product managers selling ideas to engineers and engineers discussing how it will be solved, retrospectives where everybody tries to figure out what went right/wrong and what to do better.

Then there is pair programming, which is the definition of a group project.

1. You are correct, once a toxic CEO gets put in by the board, he fills senior management with people similar to himself. This is the primary way management becomes toxic.

2. Some of them could be coached and become excellent leaders, but most depend on their toxic traits to get ahead, and their performance would plummet if they could not use their toxic traits. Most need to be identified and rooted out.
I wondered if I was the only one who thought that way — apparently not. I also found D3 to be very inflexible, with abstractions doing strange things behind your back. In general, a lot of "magic" was happening behind the scenes.

I mostly write in ClojureScript, so the data binding wasn't that attractive — I can do all of that work better anyway.

I guess what I'm looking for is a library with graphics/charting primitives written in ClojureScript, possibly using React. Hmm.

I love how blockchain has been completely de-branded out of Bitcoin, as if Bitcoin is some heinous forbidden term that can only be associated with criminality and must not be mentioned even once. The blockchain, of course, is the entire raison d'etre of Bitcoin. It's the innovation that makes Bitcoin work as a decentralized currency. Everything else Bitcoin does -- signature verification, P2P, cryptographic hashing, public-key cryptography, etc. -- was on a well-trammeled path. The blockchain is the break-through, and to disassociate it in this way is misleading and petty.

You really should use tobacco for your example:

- With alcohol they say they're guilty;

This review draws from 204 studies, 20 of which you have cherrypicked one-line statements from.

There are more studies. How many would be an "enough" number to convince you that it is not trivial to achieve optimal health on completely meatless diet?

My point is that there are many vegetarians and vegans in imperfect health and lacking certain vitamins / minerals. To make a blanket statement that they are all doing it wrong would be to fall into "No true vegetarian" fallacy.

Complexity of course exists, but not in the dishonest sense that you implied in your initial comment. What I am telling you, and anyone else that is listening, is that as of 2009 experts in the field have concluded that it is absolutely practical to be healthy on a well planned meatless diet, notional doctor and newspaper strawmen be damned.

So at least you agree that complexity exists. My disagreement lies in that I do not think it is "absolutely practical" to be healthy on a meatless diet. Your own words "well planned" suggest that there is an expectation for a person to be aware of all potential deficiencies one can experience on a meatless diet, and to have enough nutritional knowledge to plan ones diet around these deficiencies. While possible, it is not something I expect from an average person to do. An average Western person, unfortunately, does not even have enough knowledge in nutrition to keep a healthy weight, which is a much easier task compared to tracking micronutrients.

A practical thing would be to include at least some meat (I agree that most people in the west eat more than strictly necessary) and to avoid a lot of overhead, unless one really wants to study the subject.

> certainly casting it as baseless paranoia

But that's exactly what this blog post does. It's like this is actually propaganda which was created to paint the author as paranoid.

He doesn't tell any real reasons for being afraid, he doesn't seem reasonable and rational at all. He comes to the encounter with preconceived notions and doesn't even try to doubt.

Police brutality and racism are awful issues, and posts like that do real harm because they paint them as paranoid delusions.

This reminds me of something I pointed out elsewhere... I don't know any black people who have never had a negative, frightening interaction with police. And I have a lot of black friends, from teenagers up to men in their 60s. I've had friends arrested, had guns pointed at them, on ridiculous things (one that stands out was a friend who got arrested and roughed up for doing his laundry in his dorm).

"Baseless paranoia"? Ask any black person you know if they think this is baseless paranoia.
I'm already employed full time as a software engineer, as I suspect are most other readers here. This doesn't appeal to me at all.

Also, if I really had a cool idea that I could execute on that could potentially change the world of finance, why would I give it up for a measly six week paid internship? I'd do a start-up, of course.

>Socialist

Just because the Nazis called themselves National Socialists doesn't make them socialists. Communists and socialists were the first the Nazis sent to concentration camps.
The appropriate thing for society to do about someone being in fear for their life is quite different in cases where that fear is justified from cases where that fear is baseless paranoia.

So you would give up your home in exchange for the proceeds from a small burglary?

I would just expect some Bayesian reasoning, and "has a home at a reasonably expensive address" and "has a car" and "has MIT ID" would presumably rank quite highly as factors? Unless "is black" ranks so high that it dwarfs all other factors.
It's not just about race. I am an average white guy, and I'd still find it hard not to talk to the police. The police has guns, and more importantly, has the state behind them. So I'm intimidated by default (and it's partially how it's supposed to be - the police is supposed to commend respect). Refusing to answer a politely asked question feels like an escalation (and will likely be received as such). I'm a law-abiding citizen, we should be "in it together", me answering their questions should help us both in ensuring bad people get caught and good people stay safe. It's a very unhealthy situation if cooperating with police by default is seen as dangerous.
Should we decouple Drupal with a client-side framework?
You are right of course, but there are apparently a whole lot of people of the opinion that since Chrome was (one of the?) first apps implementing some sort of pinning, that this is de facto what certificate pinning "is".

I don't really agree with that, but it's IMO more useful to acknowledge the confusion, than having an argument about whether Chrome really does pinning or even gets to de facto define pinning or not, since this isn't even about Chrome :)
I don't know any people of any race who have never had a negative, frightening interaction with police.

Improving Organizational Security at Kadira
I recently suffered 2nd and 3rd degree burns over much of my right leg. If she liked the experience of being burned, they were doing it wrong. I know that a 1st degree laser burn is much less painful than what I experienced, but burns are some of the worst pain you can experience. I would say its as much of a mental "game" as it is physical reaction. 2 shots of dilaudid knocked the pain from an 8-10 to a 3-4 for me. I cannot imagine the hell some people experience with large swaths of their bodies being burned. I guess I've strayed off topic some, but I just cant imagine a burn as every being pleasurable.
1) You have a point. One 'Who we are' section coming up. :)

2) If you mean you have 1000 users across all websites you could create a different account for each of them. We know this might become a pain to manage so we are planning to allow users to manage multiple websites in future versions an each will be priced separately.

3) If you're talking about allowing users to give different access levels to their users then we already have that on our roadmap.

4) If anything happens to us we will be providing assistance to website owners to recover their data. We also support user export at any moment and this should cover you.

5) We verify users on signup by asking them to click a link we email to them. Social login also guarantees email verification.

6) Caching and custom login pages is a feature we support at the moment, so that you will be able to avoid calling the loginBox all the time. We are working against DoS attacks in parallel.

7) As long as both accounts have the same email you should be fine. We treat social logins as a verification for the email associated with it.

I will email you so we can meet and talk about them! Thanks a lot!
