I know that I, as a 30 something, have no voice in any of the candidates. I like Bern as a person, but not as a President. None of the Republicans align with my ideals, and I literally ran a Republican campaign for Coroner when I was 17/18.

I just don't think there is any presidential candidate that's pro gun, pro-choice, pro-gay rights, with a reformist mindset to unseat the Corporate-tocracy we've installed.
So if a parent does something their child doesn't like, but for a good reason, they must be one of 1) a bad parent, 2) incapable of doing anything better, or 3) unaware that the child won't like it?

Given a deity and an afterlife, I don't think that argument holds up. Generally the idea of God is that they understand a lot more than humans do or can. (Whether that's true or not is a different question, of course.)
You're right, the absolute quality level of support structures is not sufficient. The sufficient cause is given by the relative decrease compared to the expectations established in the latter half of the 20th century, which the most affected group (middle class in middle-age, i.e. the majority of Baby Boomers) grew up with as understanding to be an expected part of American life. At least us in the younger generation have a more clear eyed understanding that the safety net can be taken away by greed, and if we ever succeed at rebuilding it, we'll hopefully have the foresight to make it more robust against neoliberal attacks.
10 years ago, I got elected to our local parliamant and I learned that democracy does not work very good for searching names. That's just something which somehow is not a good fit for the political process. Perhaps other methods how votes are counted (Condorcet or other methods) could work better.

Similar issue: when the new Wembley stadium got a new bridge, there was a voting for the name of the bridge. The german football (soccer for my american friends) player Dietmar Hamann scored the last goal in the old stadium, and german football fans tried to overrun the election to force the englishman to name it "Dietmar-Hamann-Bridge", a slap in the face for every english football fan. Although Hamann won the vote, the bridge got the name White Horse Bridge (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_Horse_Bridge)

Kind of odd, though - if the panels will so clearly pay for themselves, why did they have to be mandated? Just to be clear, it isn't a purely rhetorical question - I suppose there's a chance that the people who have to pay the upfront costs don't get to realize the savings (buyers don't always factor in the savings, so construction companies may be reluctant to pay for them). Alternatively, people will sometimes just stick with a very inefficient system for a long time, never really getting around to it until they're prompted (by a mandate or tax incentive). Sometimes this is because people are just unable or reluctant to eat large upfront costs, other times it's something they've intended to get around to for a long time but haven't taken the first step.

That said, I do think that if the cost of carbon emissions were genuinely reflected in the price, all these specific technology mandates wouldn't be necessary. I do understand that a single municipality is in no position to make that happen, though.

What good life is is the most important philosophical question. Mr. Hintjens writing is extremly important as our mortality is a key facet of our understanding of life.

One day we all will be dust like Mr. Hintjens. I hope I can approach my passing with such apparent dignity and compassion as echoed by this text.

I second what MalcomDiggs has said, but run some benchmarks on your home box with all the memory. Find an amount at which performance increases level off, & request a just amount based on hard data.

All of which are true.
Given Facebook's real-name policy, and the fact that it's literally a social network of your best friends, then since all Facebook pages are HTTPS anyway, the idea of using it over tor is... Uh... a bizarre

in theory the only thing you're leaking over a plain https is, "Hey this guy has friends." (this connection is visiting facebook).

meanwhile in theory I'd expect facebook to leak everything else on their end, because come on. I have next to zero expectation of privacy on facebook.

by that I mean you think people are planning terrorist plots over facebook? come on.

so I find the mashup of tor with facebook to be kind of bizarre.

I've heard a few people express concerns around whether they actually own Steam games, and whether those games might suddenly be pulled or otherwise made unavailable without the courtesy of a purchase price refund.

The dots are just for human readability, showing the address byte-by-byte, and don't have any "meaning" anymore. Geographic structure is also only accidental.

Subdivisions nowadays happen nearly everywhere and noted with a a slash and a number after the IP address (e.g. 215.54.87.0/24 is the network containing all addresses where the first 24 bits are the same as in 215.54.87.0, 215.54.87.0/28 would be all the addresses where the first 28 bits are the same etc).

The rules differ a bit between the regions, but if I remember correctly a /24 is the smallest that can be officially assigned to an entity and announced in the global routing tables. They are free to slice smaller inside their networks though, and e.g. give a customer a /28 or /30 to use.

I hope that is somewhat understandable, I'm having a hard time putting it in words...

EDIT: IPv6 is same principle (although the notation for the address itself is now different). One important size there is /64, which is the subnet size for which automatic address assignment works, and the default size for subnets containing end devices. If you get IPv6 internet, you get at least a /64 (although a /56 is recommended), so you don't need NAT because you have more than enough addresses for everything.

I consider the need to share a tab a BUG, rather than a feature. Here's the filing on Bugzilla: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1249185

As I state there, Firefox Hello's user experience (before this change) was significantly superior to both Skype and Google Hangouts. But they seem intent on shipping a barely needed feature instead of providing excellent and usable video chat (where no other platform comes close, IMHO).

When I last used it a few weeks ago, the "feature" was a disaster -- every time you switch tabs the other person you're chatting with would see exactly the page you see. This should be an opt-in feature, not a possibly opt-out one! (they claim that in future versions there will be a way to disable tab-sharing... though I don't see it currently)

The idea of efficient and scalable myths is interesting. Haven't heard of Sapiens but I'll definitely check it out.

They "allocated" the key by using it. Others are not more likely to generate the key they found than any other specific key. This is statistically unlikely due to the extremely huge number of possible keys.

In no way does this demonstrate a "market failure". Municipalities own and/or strongly control the entire waste removal pipeline. Had the process been in control of a private entity they could have been free to make their own rules saying they will not permit plastic bags, or charge an appropriate fee for their disposal.
What makes you think Edge is less resource hungry than Chrome? Last time I checked the resources used by Edge it was similar to Chrome and even worse in some cases. Any browser that implements a process-per-tab architecture is going to consume significantly more resources than one that doesn't.

Windows:

Amazon is the only place I have seen blatant user-targeted dark patterns. "Order within the next hour to ship today". Four hours later: "order within the next 2 hours to ship today". Never mind the lowest-bid delivery acting like this is the first package they've ever handled (a phone call, really?), or email spam from checking a price.

I believe a short time after a company acquires a reputation, customers develop a blind spot and you can count on reality being the opposite of that reputation.

A key sentence from the BBC article on the topic: "
The strict rules are also seen as a way to foster the success of indigenous net Chinese firms such as Huawei, Alibaba and Tencent."
var obj = {...}

// native JavaScript

Object.keys(obj).forEach(function(key){
console.log('obj.', key, ' = ', obj[key])
})

// Lodash

_.forEach(obj, function(value, key) {
console.log('obj.', key, ' = ', value)
})

Object.keys(obj) creates an array that contains the keys of the object, which makes it pretty trivial to call filter, map, reduce, etc. And getting the value from an object's key is also pretty straightforward...
This has the be the weakest justification I have ever seen for piracy and believe me, I've seen a few.
Note the link I submitted above, where it says that yes you have to send all rows with every refresh, but for every row you can tell it not to do anything. Presumably that means if you skip all but few rows, you'll get a faster update.
I'm sorry, but I'm having a hard time understanding why the constraints are contradictory. For example, can't you just have a thin countertop such that the corner is within 18 inches of the edge and put an outlet there?

Browser vendor makes a browser engine, and you believe they don't plan to put it in the browser?

If you do a risky project that might fail or not pay off, and you don't want to get bad PR, you can do only two things: Keep it entirely secret, or develop it in the open but make no promises whatsoever. For an open source company, the choice is pretty easy.

I always thought it was a public secret that of course they're going to put it in the browser, but they don't dare promising that before they know it's going to work out. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if nextgen Firefox is just going to be Servo + browser.html.

> If everyone simply linked the "canonical" version of jQuery (the CDN link is right on their site) then requiring jQuery will be effectively free because it will be in everyone's cache.

It's not, though. I ran this experiment when I tried to get Google Search to adopt JQuery (back in 2010). About 13% of visits (then) hit Google with a clean cache. This is Google Search, which at the time was the most visited website in the world, and it was using the Google CDN version of JQuery, which at the time was what the JQuery homepage recommended.

The situation is likely worse now, with the rise of mobile. When I did some testing on mobile browsing performance in early 2014, there were some instances where two pageviews was enough to make a page fall out of cache.

I'd encourage you to go to chrome://view-http-cache/ and take a look at what's actually in your cache. Mine has about 18 hours worth of pages. The vast majority is filled up with ad-tracking garbage and Facebook videos. It also doesn't help that every Wordpress blog has its own copy of JQuery (WordPress is a significant fraction of the web), or for that matter that DoubleClick has a cache-busting parameter on all their JS so they can include the referer. There's sort of a cache-poisoning effect where every site that chooses not to use a CDN for JQuery etc. makes the CDN less effective for sites that do choose to.

[On a side note, when I look at my cache entries I just wanna say "Doubleclick: Breaking the web since 2000". It was DoubleClick that finally got/forced me to switch from Netscape to Internet Explorer, because they served broken Javascript in an ad that hung Netscape for about 40% of the web. Grrrr....]

Sure, and we have a huge problem where a public health emergency comes up and then the press freaks out the public, which doesn't understand what a public health emergency means (not a lot for most individuals). Look at the rational response of the government in the US to Zika and the breathless nonsense being spouted in the press.

I think it is at least instructive to look at the rate; I live in a town of roughly 10,000 people. The rate translates into ~1 person here committing suicide in a year. I don't want anyone to kill themselves, but it isn't a shocking number when put in those terms.

I'm not comparing them. I'm saying American religious fundamentalism is an impediment to openly opposing religious fundamentalism and anti-equality of the sexes religious doctrine elsewhere, comparable or not. Nonetheless, except for the overt calls for genocide (ours believe The Eschaton will take care of the Jews), you might have picked better examples of differences between the two.
But it's only leaked when you don't have it cached. Otherwise the client doesn't even make the request.
As I said below, what if the leadership of Saudi Arabia is seized by some hostile factions which attack the US & EU interests in the area ? What if these factions denounce the US - Saudi alliance and switch sides demanding help from the Chinese ? You think US & EU would place sanctions and wait like they do with the Russians ? I think US & EU would pull out all the files (support for terrorism, human rights abuses, democracy, yada, yada) they have against "ex-Saudi" Arabia and punch their way in before the Chinese move an inch.

While I don't doubt bureaucracy plays a role, I think comments in this thread insinuating that there is something wrong with having an organized and thorough onboarding process are wrong-headed.

Many, many mature organizations probably have more than 60 tasks to complete to fully onboard a new employee. If you really want to see what inefficiency looks like, put your head in the sand on those 60 items and wait to perform each of them when they become urgent.
