Tearing down a freeway doesn't necessarily lead to 'luxury condos and luxury retail/commercial spaces' when there's no demand for such property in the neighborhood. There's vacant land at the edge of downtown Milwaukee from the teardown of a freeway spur almost 15 years ago.

That said, in a rust belt city like Milwaukee or Syracuse, the real risk is full-scale abandonment of the city in the style of Detroit or Flint— which is best prevented by having a diverse array of people invested in, and fighting for the city. If that doesn't happen, it'll decay into a zone of concentrated poverty that major employers flee for the suburbs, trapping people in a worsening cycle of poverty because they can't get a job without a car and can't get a car without a job. And a car often costs the better part of $5,000 a year to maintain, and potentially much more if you can't scrape together that $5,000 upfront for something decent used and have to deal with scammy low-end car dealers.

And, of course, some rich people and expensive property are a necessary part of a city's tax base if it's to pay for decent schools and transit and social services and libraries and all the services that enable social mobility.
That graph doesn't look to me like something characterized by prejudice at all. Why would people suddenly become sexist in the computer technology field only, practically overnight?

The article even suggests that the drop started with the boom of the personal computer. That is not inconsistent with the hypothesis that women do better in formal settings, since that inflection point is essentially the moment it became possible for large amounts of people to teach themselves to be a computer programmer. It seems likely that some pre existing bias (either in interest our ability from girls or more likely an interplay of interest and culture) was just amplified when the flood of autodidacts joined the field, not that everyone decided to exclude women just as the field was getting hot.
Sure, I'm just saying that nonviolent resistance only works at all if the enemy is unwilling to just kill you and your supporters.

I'm saying that nonviolence operates on your enemies willingness to harm others, rather than focusing on harming the enemy, and that makes it fundamentally different from other forms of warfare.

Now, there is a connection in that both terror and nonviolence are fundamentally psychological warfare; both rely on giving the enemy feelings rather than just killing the enemy in the most efficient way possible, but I think that nonviolence is interesting and different because it is a new form of warfare that only works against modern societies that are able but not willing to just kill a bunch of the opposing group.

The principal thing people get in the 'burbs is cheaper real estate. I agree completely that the subsidies should go, but if you look even at the tax end of it, it's a loser unless you will stay long enough to fully pay the thing off.
>Generally people are driven to the urban centers in the first place after their [sustainable] rural ways of life and systems of land management are dismantled in the name of "liberalization"/"privatization"/"modernization", leading to ecological deterioration, and ultimately resulting in complete desertification.

Maybe I'm misreading what you said - because I don't think you could argue that people are moving from villages to cities because of privatization and land being polluted - in general. In some specific cases people are forced to move because of externalities like pollution or instability for sure - but migration to cities is just a step in social evolution that's been happening since forever - subsistence farming is a horrible way to live compared to even low level jobs in cities and people naturally want to avoid that.

The highway thing is mostly a side effect of unlimited funds being available to build highways 50-60 years ago. The engineers went mad.

But the reason Syracuse is a dump is that industry evaporated and went to Mexico and later China. If you want to look at a more depressing place than Syracuse that doesn't have a highway cutting through it, check out Utica, about 45 minutes to the east. It's like a neutron bomb hit in 1988.

Might be a bit late to reply, but FWIW and IMHO, any moderate/secular rebel groups are essentially gone at this point.

In any type of rebellion, or any other organization for that matter, the views of the group will naturally change over time to be more in line with whatever the source of funding and resources wants them to be. Let a couple of years go by with the West providing essentially no support, and all of the support coming from the Gulf Arab states with a history of exporting extremism, and naturally any moderate groups and moderate elements in less moderate groups will wither and fade away, and the extremist elements will come to the front. The more time goes by, the harder it is to find any actual moderation to back.

Whatever moderate and secular-leaning elements there may have been at the beginning, they've long since withered and died, and there isn't much of anybody good left to back, aside from the Kurds. We have the Iranian-Russian aligned Assad regime, versus the ISIS extremists so out there that even Al-Quada is fighting them. I don't see much in the way of good options now, honestly.

It might have been different if we had backed groups heavily from the start and gotten that view-shifting effect working in our favor. Of course, it also might not have. And it's hard to fault the American people for not wanting to get deeply involved in another messy Middle-Eastern war. But if you care about spreading democracy and liberal western values, this is pretty much the worst thing to do.
Sure. But the problem with the Servlet spec is that it was ill-conceived from the start, attempting to span domains other than http processing. It's an example of someone overthinking the problem instead of starting with an elegant solution to an existing problem. In its many revisions, nobody has thought to restart it from scratch the way that EJB/JPA did - what's happened is that newer specs like JAX-RS work around Servlets (but don't fully remove their necessity).

EJB/JPA (maligned as it is) is a good example of the process "working" - one product (Hibernate) dominated, and the people in charge of EJB realized their overengineered, designed-by-committee spec was a turd.They started from scratch with 3.0 and basically put the Hibernate guy (Gavin) in charge of it. Thus JPA is basically Hibernate's API... the official standard more or less reflected the de-facto standard.

My point is that the other three lines are indicative of decreasing prejudice in education, not increasing. The computer-science line is clearly different and why is an interesting topic, but it's not the topic at hand.
It's a solid list of tech-savvy attorneys with strong pro-privacy backgrounds. The court appointed them; FISA judges are not, contrary perhaps to appearances, looking simply to rubber-stamp government requests for surveillance, but the lack of an adversarial system certainly has given that appearance to the proceedings. Adding a public-interest counterweight to something that has gone from an extraordinary venue to a routine investigatory tool can only increase the legitimacy of FISC.

>Median incomes in the US stagnated at the same time as more women entered the workforce,

Perhaps I do not understand what you mean by "median incomes". I was breaking it out to median income for men (which did stagnate) and median income for women (which went from next to nothing to almost the same as median income for men)

Hm. Or perhaps I'm not thinking through the implications of 'median' which would dampen the effect of bringing a bunch of zeros up to 'mildly below average'
This doesn't sound right to me. There is no need to do address translation in IPv6 networks. It may be that there is still a firewall in place with rules about incoming and outgoing connections, though.

In the IPv4 realm the term NAT is often interpreted to mean connection rules in addition to network address translation. It is the address translation that is the source and focus of much criticism of IPv4 "NAT" and it is exactly that feature that is unneeded in the IPv6 realm.

So while network address translation is superfluous in IPv6, there is still an argument to be made for network access rules.

I would be interested to here what technical arguments were being made for true network address translation in an IPv6 network.

Most 'inflation' in our society lately is in buildable land prices within commuting distance of desirable cities, mostly on the coast.

If we increased the amount of buildable land, either by upzoning existing neighborhoods to allow property owners to build apartments and support high-quality transit (my preference) or building infinite freeways and suburban sprawl unto the horizon (Houston/Dallas' model, which while profoundly distasteful and inefficient, is very successful at providing ample detached single-family homes in an areas with growing economies).

I'm worried about our attention spans as humans. Mine has certainly gone down. When I was a kid and the internet was less popular and showy, I used to read long-form articles and message boards and do actual reading. Now there's so much content out there it seems to be genuinely hard to not just look for the next "quick fix" in the form of a funny or insightful comment. Reading even a 20 minute article doesn't seem to be the norm anymore.

God only knows how bad this is going to be for kids that are now growing up with youtube.

I'm not familiar with MQTT, I've just glanced over the spec right now.

Nchan is basically a message broker with channels, optimized for message broadcast.

MQTT is a TCP-level protocol, whereas all the currently implemented subscriber clients for Nchan are HTTP-level (Longpoll, EventSource and Websocket, which begins with an HTTP request). MQTT subscribers and publishers could be implemented in nchan, but I haven't yet written any raw-TCP connection negotiation code, so I don't know how hard it would be. Aside from that, the subscriber code is very modular and adding another protocol like MQTT would be straightforward.
> How do you know if you don't have IPv6 endpoints?

For my open source projects I do not care. For the business side of things at any company I worked for the bulk of the revenue came from a handful of countries where invoicing was set up, the interface was translated to, everybody spoke English in support etc. If I would ever have to grow a business into an area where there is no IPv4 connectivity or problematic one, there would be plenty of other issues before.

> And those sites will continue to be small with that kind of thinking.

One has nothing to do with the other. Sites grow because they grow their consumer base and that has pretty much nothing to do with IPv6 connectivity (at the moment). The future is irrelevant in this discussion as the thread was about why few people care currently.

> The user stats show that the time is now. What kind of signal are you waiting for?

Not the stats I am looking at, but I'm willing to be shown different statistics. For all companies I worked for IPv6 has been not even a topic worth discussing so irrelevant was it for the the operations.
That was a really interesting read and I think it supports the concept that "Bushido" was in full swing by the 1940's:

Bushido would find its ultimate embodiment in kamikaze pilots and foot-soldiers who “honorably” sacrificed themselves for their country. “Although some Japanese were taken prisoner,” David Powers of BBC writes, “most fought until they were killed or committed suicide.

> There is no need to do address translation in IPv6 networks.

There is no need, but typically desire. Which company is comfortable leaking out individual employees IP addresses if they can avoid it? There are more downsides from a security point of view than upsides.
I've gotta say, I was impressed with how easy the IPv6 setup was with the latest version of OpenWRT. I just recently upgraded and, with Comcast's native IPv6 support, everything just worked and all of the machines on my LAN grabbed externally-routable addresses. After poking some holes in the default firewall rules, I can connect directly from my machine at work (also IPv6 addressed) to a machine at home without any port mapping or translation. Feels nice.

Nice project, I'll be browsing it for the next hour or so. I do have a suggestion, however. Take the MemoryTechnique[1] page for example.

You can further minimize your cell phone backup costs with PTel.com, a T-Mobile MVNO, which costs $5/month (minimum spend) and $.05/minute. I had them for my (lightly used) cell service until recently, when I switched to Google's Project Fi, which opportunistically connects to either T-Mobile or Sprint, as needed. From a reliability standpoint, Project Fi might offer a bit more piece of mind with dual providers available, though it requires late model Nexus phones at the moment.

> The goal of gerrymandering, often achieved in practice, is to disenfranchise as many voters of the other parties as possible -- to ensure that their vote has no effect on the outcome of the election. So the first statement you quote is accurate.

Packing all the democrats into a single district could be described this way; most of the votes in such a district will be wasted democratic votes. But that opening statement was

> [Gerrymandering] creates districts that are skewed and uncompetitive, denying voters the ability to elect representatives who fairly reflect their views.

(my emphasis)

This can't describe the phenomenon the article is actually about. It's about segregating people such that they can easily elect a representative who caters to them. And in fact this kind of redistricting is often legally mandated, specifically so as to give minority voters an uncontested district from which they can elect a minority congressman.

Enemy party concentration can give the boundary-drawing party extra representatives counted at the state level compared to expectation. But it obviously reduces the number of enemy-party voters who suffer from being unable to elect their own representative. The skewed districts created by gerrymandering make it easy for voters to elect a representative who reflects their views; the close districts make it more difficult.

The claim I made, that most ISPs at least provide one IP per customer, so you personally can use one device with a public IP, is still true.

As it was explained to me, the main problem with capabilities is working out how to revoke them.

You either have expiring capabilities, which is a hassle but probably inevitable. Or you have revoked capability lists, imposing an additional cost on every single invocation. The latter was a bit of a killer once people had figured out clever, fast bit-operation ways to check a capability, because the cost of looking up the list swamped the gains from bit-twiddling optimisations.

Mind you, we sorta wound up with it anyhow, in the form of OAuth tokens. And here the algo-economics changes again to favour it: the cost of a network roundtrip is gigantic compared to any comparison operation, so it doesn't seem quite so bad after all.
I made a conscious decision a few months ago to decrease the number of online articles I read. I realized that I wasn't finishing most of them (and most people don't) and if I wasn't learning any relevant to me then they were basically trivia.

I've concentrated more on slimming down my book shelves by getting to all of those books that I always wanted to. I'm finding them more illuminating and enjoyable than any short article. I find them more likely to change my viewpoint than any catchy article could because someone dedicated months, if not years, to put their work out there.

As far as finding time, unless you're busy from when you wake up into when your head is back on the pillow you can find time for what you feel is important enough. For me I've cut scrolling through articles and social media for something more substantial.

I sort-of agree with you, but our system of jurisprudence is adversarial. If there's no one opposing a warrant, it's hard for the judge to take it upon himself to argue the counter. So, a set of impartial "people's advocates" would go a long way in cutting down this figure of 99%.

You are correct in that there will be m^n minima, but since your surface is highly symmetric, local minima are trivially easy to find. Are you simplifying the statement by skipping over the importance of intervals?

If the intervals spanned by x,y,z do not overlap, then your statement does not hold unless local minima are evenly distributed over the entire region, which defeats the purpose of searching for minima in the first place. If the intervals spanned by x,y,z are identical, then gradient descent can be reduced to just searching over f(x) by symmetry. You are right that there are m^n minima, but they are found in (nm)^1 steps. If the intervals spanned by x,y,z partially overlap, you can further reduce the search space to just f(x) and the union of the intervals.

I don't see how your example shows that gradient descent is likely to fail for any classifier with a sufficiently high number of independent parameters. Am I missing something?
The argument I've heard is that the judges work with the agencies rather than outright reject them, skewing the statistics. The judges will say, "Come back with more evidence", and the agencies go out and do it.

Not sure I believe that story, and even if it's true it's not a great idea to rely on the innate moral fiber of the judges, but that stat is not necessarily a smoking gun.
