4.5MB PDF with merely 37 pages, hidden not only behind "we'll send you an
e-mail with download link" form that wants my e-mail address for no reason,
but also requires me to specify my friend's e-mail to spam their inbox, and
the link itself is hidden behind two redirectors that track my browser.

To add an insult to injury, in the download page's corner some cretin pops up
and plays a sound. Fortunately it's just short "click" sound, but it's still
annoying.

The content is very thin, being composed of a list of a few incubators,
venture capital investors, Poland-focused crowdfunding sites, and co-working
spaces. And this sad landscape is presented as a vibrant, active community.

The economic cost of dealing with the disaster and its cleanup, to Japan's present and future generations, is immense.

The loss of land in a crowded country where inhabitable land is at a premium is also a very heavy blow, which could have easily got much worse if the disaster had cascaded down to reactors closer to Tokyo, as the Prime Minister at the time very much feared as a real possibility.

Measuring the scale of disasters simply in loss of life is simplistic and also sometimes, as I think here, disingenuous.

The article has nothing to do with trickle down or taxes: it just underscores that many people are not too excited about keeping their property in places where rule of law is rather peculiar. E.g. if you look at the title graphic, 2nd largest capital flight figure is for Russia -- I highly doubt its 13% (iirc) flat income tax is to blame for that.
No, it hasn't been "settled."

It won't be until the perpetrators have been held responsible for the crime they committed: 2 counts of aggregated sexual assault (for the forced voyeuristic inspection of her lower parts, and the forced bowel movement), and a further account forced sodomy with a foreign object. That means jail time; lifelong bans from participation in any form of law enforcement (or private security detail); and of course, a very prominent place on local and national sex offender registries (which I'm normally against -- but I make an exception for egregious acts of sexual assault and indecency enacted by government officials).

Fines? Against an institution? That's just a number on some spreadsheet somewhere.
so a newbie question, when do I need this? the only thing I understand is that hadoop is for batch process while storm is for realtime big-data processing.
I'd happily have both - solar panels on roof and nuclear in the neigbourhood.
The technology choices seem okay. I suspect it could have been done fairly quickly and slightly less expensively just by putting the metadata into the postgres image and running plain SQL queries there. On the other hand gaining some experience of Spark is a reasonable thing to want to do as part of the analysis.

I'd be concerned for the analysis itself that using the blocking of a comment as a proxy for the comment being abusive contains significant risk of confirmation bias - moderators may be more inclined to moderate articles by authors with traditionally female names, or those authors may be more inclined to report comments, or indeed they may be more inclined to write articles on more controversial topics. I can't think of a better automated approach to the analysis, and I find the outputs pretty believable, but I'd be wary of regarding the study as evidence.

> You cannot evaluate the "correctness" of arguments about many things in the political space.

Of course you can. How do you vote, just pick the guy who you'd like to have a beer with? Give me a break.

Again, you're starting off by rejecting rationality as an approach, so I really don't need to prove that you're irrational here.

> How do you arrive at a situation where both Bob and Charlie agree with each other?

We don't. Bob and Charlie's agreement is entirely unnecessary. Why is this even your goal?

> which path would actually yield better results is impossible to simulate or predict accurately.

This is rarely true in practice for major voting issues.

> That doesn't mean Bob or Charlie have discarded rationality, it just means that pure application of logic cannot solve most of the problems on which politics dwells.

Nobody is claiming that Bob and Charlie have discarded rationality, but I'm claiming that you're discarding rationality. You've again state this fact for me.

If logic can't solve your problem, it can't be solved.

> The Guardian argues that companies should feel a moral obligation to pay more tax.

That's not The Guardian's argument as far as I know, so let's stop right there. I doubt anyone with The Guardian's caliber would bother with the idea that companies should feel.

People underestimate the importance of culture change. I hate this word, but there has to be a company-wide re-education if any company is serious about becoming more high-tech. Often, measures like opening a new R&D lab or pumping more money here or there gets wasted since it rarely has a wider effect. When the effect isn't wider, there is a lack of critical mass for high-impact high-tech projects to get out of the door. The internal friction is generally high in big old companies, and most people causing the friction tend to be old-school "company-persons" who have fixed mindsets about where the company should be. Many of these people aren't necessarily tech savvy and some even pride themselves on not understanding computers as though the ignorance burnishes their skills in science/mechanics/biochem or whatever is the core of their company.
This is basically how it works in VB as well, and I agree it is way better than the c-style default.
> It'd be great if you have evidence that Moldbug is an ex-con who underwent rehab for his racism!

Unlike violent crime, racist speech isn't immediately dangerous. But in any case, if you believe he's a criminal, rally to have him arrested; him being a free man means that he has nothing to go in rehab for.

Indeed. It's a very disappointing article. I clicked on the writer's name and browsed his other articles published on The Guardian and they seemed good, so again, it's disappointing that he has such a blind spot on this issue and writes about it in an obviously one-sided and flawed way.

The problem with Ctrl C is that it is also the shortcut for SIGINT when the terminal is focused.

Also most terminal emulators will forward all Ctrl combinations directly over the TTY rather than capturing them in the windowing system, so in practice Ctrl-V rarely works in a terminal either. Likewise for Ctrl-W, which is typically bound to backwards-kill-word, etc.

The way it ends up in practice, shortcuts involving the Command key on OSX end up being clearly defined and consistent, because apps typically can't override them.

Wouldn't it make sense that support staff can only generate and send out password reset mails if the PIN/password has been entered into a form? I don't know the term for this - like "coded procedure".

In this case, the support staff wouldn't even needed to be trusted in the first case.

I doubt they will release it for others to analyze.

There's some interesting things from a tech perspective - use of Postgres, Perl scripts etc. That was fun to find out.

Unfortunately the Guardian is in regular battle over their comments, particularly in respect to how they handle comment regarding Israel - they are frequently accused of suppressing anything 'pro' (by deleting entire commenter accounts as breaches of their rules) and retaining some quite alarming comments (on Israel and other subjects) by classifying as free speech and retaining despite complaints - see [1] for 68 'recommends' for killing Tony Blair being kept.

This looks like an attempt to bypass some serious issues by intentionally addressing something completely tangential. A classic diversionary tactic.

That's why I think you (or anyone else) is unlikely to get access to the data.

Which is a pity, because it could help clear up exactly these issues of claimed bias they are accused of, and help determine if it exists or not. - something useful.

For me it's the other way.

In Linux there's a clear separation of CTRL for sending messages to the app --ALT for commands-- and SUPER for messaging the OS.

I found OSX very confusing trying to mix everything into a single key.

As a die hard Linux fan, I'll admit that it'd be nice if ctrl+left/right worked the same everywhere.

I agree (sort of) with the premise of this article but I'm not sure I believe all of its facts.

Specifically, the analysis of the negative effects of each respective meltdown, Chernobyl and Fukushima.

I personally believe there's reason to distrust any study on Chernobyl because of the blatant cover-up mentioned and the interference of the Soviet government, so it doesn't really work well as a citation to convince skeptics of the safety of nuclear energy. Likewise, I don't know that we've seen the full effects of Fukushima yet.

Here is one article that shows some of the milder social effects on residents: http://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2014/03/10/national/life-in...

"Some of the smallest children in Koriyama, a short drive from the ruined Fukushima No. 1 nuclear power plant, barely know what it’s like to play outside — fear of radiation has kept them indoors for much of their short lives."

I lived at one point in time relatively near the Fukushima plant (100 km away) at about 2 months after the disaster and I did follow pretty closely at that time the pattern of fallout, but since returning to the USA it is not something I have followed as closely as I should.

For me, the hardest part is seeing the impact on people I met and their friends and families. But I also saw many people doing well even in the hardship.

I did live somewhere (a university campus) with continual radiation level monitoring, with levels somewhere below 0.12 uSv/hour or maybe twice the background radiation of Rome, and I also took Iodine pills in the immediate aftermath of the disaster. For that reason, maybe somewhat selfishly, and because of all of the obvious reasons, I do believe that nuclear energy is essential.

Side note: Fukushima Prefecture has the University of Aizu, which is the only public, graduate-level university in Japan dedicated to computer science and engineering.
Given that freer internet access could be highly politically destabilising for the current regime I seriously doubt that Obama could "have easily negotiated freer internet access". The opposite would seem far more likely.

The Cuban people were already suffering - the US' new policy can start to change that. Nothing else will.

Well, I am not sure but from my point of view, this article misses quite a few arguments against nuclear power. Some may be excusable but not mentioning waste storage (or even regeneration, though I want to see it before I believe it) at all. It does not tell about the destruction cost of nuclear plants (that will never be covered by waste regeneration). It does not talk about terrorist attacks on nuclear plants or just someone stealing radioactiv material to make a dirty bomb. I understand that some arguments against nuclear power are just nonsense but there are some quite tricky ones, picking some that you are able to refute is rediculous.

Edit: and a broken dam in a (at the time) third world country that kills >80% of 170.000 people later through famine and epidemics is nothing that translates to the first world. I agree that hydro-electric power has some big down-sides (like mentioned terrorist attacks) but still you should give things in context. Fukushima happening in Angola would have been a different story than in Japan.
I think that's unnecessary. Obviously police officers shouldn't have to be shot before they are allowed to shoot people, so where is the cutoff?
Law Enforcement Officer?
what bugs me is the possibility that one disaster, however unlikely, when it happens may render a wider area uninhabitable for a longer period of time. is this not the case?

and then, perhaps a bigger issue, waste management. just look at Germany [1], supposedly a role model country. please note that the New Scientist text is mostly about light waste, "just" 1000 years storage time. there's a committee trying to plan storage of highly radioactive waste - for 1 million years! we are a species of idiots. none of the plants generating that waste is going to give us a million years of power.

as others have mentioned, Fukushima could have been prevented. and Japan has also had accidents and cover-ups before [2]. all in all, it seems too risky.

and finally, what happened to Thorium plants? aren't they much much safer? or the breeder reactors, how are those coming along?

who walks around saying "I'm an Atheist" it's a silly statement really. I'm not religious, had my enlightenment about 20 years ago now. But saying "I'm an Atheist" is like saying "I'm a non-whatever" It's just kind of immature. I mean if you're an activist speaking to people, I guess, but at that point you should expect to live in the space of constant criticism.

You should expect outrage about gun ownership in california. Because you're saying that you are for taking people's rights away, or in general prevent them from something where the model isn't proven to necessarily be correct.
I guess what I was getting at is that maybe dreams or trips can be defined as truthy experiences so far as the fact that our brains are experiencing them, even if they aren't objectively "true" in what we define as the "real world." Experiencing "meaning" from music for example isn't necessarily objective, but it still feels a bit like "knowledge" to me.

For what it's worth I've never used hard psychedelics, and I haven't studied classic epistemology since college so my viewpoint comes a bit from a point of ignorance but I wanted to provide a different perspective for discussion.

The home page has a 'Why use Storm' section that you might find helpful: https://storm.apache.org/index.html

For example, Twitter used to use Storm to process analytics on tweet data. They now use Heron. [1] Storm is valuable when your data is constantly being generated as a stream, on which you would like to perform processing immediately. I've previously also used Storm's distributed RPC cluster, where I fire off a task that I would like processed in the background and wait for the response to arrive.

Why is the notion of pornographers fighting for equality a joke? XHamster seems to have a pretty progressive corporate view towards sexuality. Obviously not all the content on the site is that way, but you seem to be implying pornography is inherently bad?

Besides, you're naive if you think the Republican lawmakers who push this type of legislation are actually so wholesome that this is totally irrelevant.
I did some recon at their office in cambridge last night, and it was just too funny to listen to the words out of their evangelists/devs/data scientists mouths, its like they are trying to appeal a caricature of what they think people on the FOS(software/silicon) community want to work on/for lol Sadly they'll attract a lot of desperate college students just chomping at the bit to work for them lol

note: (behavior not unique to $msft, same is true of $aapl, $goog, $fb and those who want to emulate such…)
They should be shot at before they're allowed to shoot anyone, for sure.
Would be more fun if xhamster required a certificate of sexual orientation before allowing you to switch to straight or gay porn.

That's exactly my point. With people, assume they can change for the better; with companies, judge them primarily by their bad actions.
Ironically, by pivoting the discussion to systemic power differences as justification for large groups of students to disallow smaller groups of their ability to voice their opinions by passive-aggressive force, you are supporting the conceptional framework that in large part allows the abuses of power, which can be aggressive force, you oppose. If it is wrong for the powerful to prevent the less powerful from speech, then it is wrong for the large to prevent the smaller from speech even the majority against the minority. The 'core issue' of free speech has never been the opposition of those in power with the speech of a majority, even a localized majority, but the empowerment of every individual to speech regardless of their opinions popularity or any of its other attributes, except for those who cause tremendous harm. If it is wrong for the government because it is more powerful to abuse their power, it is wrong for the group because it is larger to abuse their size to limit others. I think the cause of this whole situation is due to the conflation of speech meant to harm other persons (i.e yelling fire, inciting a riot) and speech that causes subjective discomfort or intellectual disagreement. One is a crime, and the other is the heart of every civil discussion.
If you can read German, here [1] is a study that says shutting off nuclear in Germany causes 63 million tons of additional CO2 emission per year. It's from BDI, an industry group, so take it with a grain of salt, but as the power we used to produce in nuclear plants has to come from somewhere, it makes sense that we produce a lot more CO2 to replace them. You can't just crank up wind and solar to account for the difference, you have to burn more fossil fuels.

Without anal probes they lose one more way to say "I can do anything I want to you. I own you." These things are not just investigatory, they're for intimidation.

Remember the woman who killed herself in a Texas jail in the last year. During the traffic stop, the cop yelled "I will light you up!" He was referring to a taser, and that was pure intimidation.

Intimidation is a technique and a feature.
