I wrote a paper for a sociology class in college focussing not only on light pollution, but the fact that many historians believe that certain cultural and aesthetic attributes of cities and surrounding urban areas are lost when the warm glow of HPS lights is replaced with stark white LEDs.
I think it also helps to have someone "legitimize" what are relatively to mainstream news "outcaste" views. It also helps when you have a charismatic person personifying those ideas.

Palin, for example may have had similar opinions but was not charismatic. Trump on the other hand sounds like your regular blue collar worker --I've known black as well as white blue collar workers and they speak just like that. When they make a mistake, they don't try to explain it away like a Clinton or a Bush. Nah, they just come out and say, yeah, I was probably wrong and this is why and offer some plausible support for the argument. Also, I think lots of working class people have felt funny about politicians tiptoeing around issues rather than just being a bit "vulgar" about things and that appeals to some people. If you ever listen to how people who take buses to the poorer areas of town talk, just sit at one of those stops long enough you'll know what I mean. They are unfiltered and speak as they feel without any affected tiptoeing.

I am looking a technical co-founder to join me in a non-for-profit idea for a startup. I have technical skills, but it is not my strongest skill.

I want to do a CRM but for beneficiaries of social programs implemented by NGOs, Government, International Organizations or companies doing CSR. These organizations hardly do any monitoring of their programs, and this tool would help them achieve it by creating processes. This would allow them to follow-up a person and their indicators, to set-up reminders, and so on.

I would like to mix this with ML, in order to help them figure out which beneficiaries are more likely to benefit from their program (before enrolling them), and which one are more likely to drop-off their program.

My background: CS, work experience at povertyactionlab.org, and now accepted to an MPA at an Ivy League.
The point of 5 whys is NOT to assign proper blame for each problem. It is to give you a way in a complex system for identifying pain points that are causing you repeated problems.
>99.9% of cases is used to hide illegal activities

Do you have any evidence to back up that 99.9% statistic? Even many of the public disclosures haven't been illegal (for example David Cameron's investment fund was 100% legal and he paid all the UK taxes required).
But this depends on the context. We can assume that the context of bsaul is being in Paris (context is not a requirement of intelligence) and now is where some intelligent processing appears: it is very unlikely for anyone to actually want to fly so quickly, thus checking if Chicago the band is playing in Paris (or close enough) would be a reasonable try before going to a flight planner website.
Programming is mainly about automation and I mean "automation scenarios" as the general concepts we work on. Improving automation is a path towards "singularity" (in this case that meaning not AI world domination, but nothing to do left for humanity as everything is being done automatically) with a nice feedback loop. Many people here, including me, naturally obsess over the parts that are directly relevant to our jobs and not think too much about the possible effect on other industries. Hope it is clear now :)
I'm always tickled by the mythology that was sold thanks to a macbook and a textmate theme - that creativity is inherent to it, and that it is a pioneers tool, for craftmenship etc.

That might all matter if the first thing people did once deploying it was to port off of it. For software that has such a rapid expiration date, none of it selling points matter. You might as well have written it in php or perl.

Rails continues to be a favorite joke of mine.
If it turns out that api's are copyrightable then in the short to medium term this will cause some indigestion. In the longer term though companies and developers will just insist that api copyrights are put in the public domain or they won't use them. Lockin avoidance.
Sorry to hear that. Can you link to any news, or other, sources about this? I don't use facebook so I'm glad to not be contributing to this, but maybe there are other data centres in your town I do use, who knows.

Progress hey, it's tricky.
That's the problem with desktop software though -- it's expensive to build and often, there's a solution already out there or will appear in the next release of the OS. For instance in Activity Monitor, you can view every process simply by clicking the View menu, then "All Processes". It will even show them hierarchically. Which then leads to users often picking something that works and rarely switching unless an app fails on them somehow. Contrast this with the web, where we routinely "switch apps" because there's so little cost to install them, keep them up to date, commit to them and save our data in their format, etc. AV software is much less useful these days as systems ship more securely by default. Disk cleaners also have less utility as folks learn of free or built-in options, or buy larger drives than they need...

About all I can say to sum up is, yes, pick your app carefully, but solve a problem you've researched and haven't found an easy solution to, and then ... see if you can build that into a business? :) It'd also be fun to build a meta-app: e.g. gamify learning about OS X, such as the activity monitor. Maybe it could be social, where you get points for being the first to get something set up amongst friends on the same wifi? That sounds like an incredibly niche market though...
The 2008 study did not find that "88% of journalists donate to the Democratic party."

It found that, of people who made a political donation and identified a journalism company as their employer, 88% donated to a Democratic candidate or cause.

It's not possible to take this study as evidence of an overall bias in journalism, because it is a very small, non-random sample of people. The total number of people included in the study is less than 1,500, and it was a self-selected group. In addition it includes non-journalist jobs like CFO and a "Saturday Night Live" producer.

About the only solid conclusion to draw from this study is that the vast majority of journalists do not contribute to political parties or candidates at all.

Docker. Docker is working incredibly well in production and in development, particularly if you use only a subset of its features. We're relying on Docker as much as possible for building and deploying your apps.
The most salient feature is that there is nothing about the really big fish. The ones with really competent lawyers and accountants. The ones that aren't in the papers.

So, we get a lot of heat and noise about middling wealthy people who used a second tier firm to bank monies. Because said firm dropped a lot of documents on the floor, perhaps when their arm was accidentally jogged ...

It might even send the message that some people outside the right circles, hired help and social climbers, should be careful when aping their betters, because they may find their nuts caught in a vise.

(The second most salient feature is how the press is enthusiastic and cooperative about this, when they studiously ignored similar items in the past. Wonderful.)
I don't think it's a case of me misunderstanding, I could have easily provided other examples of view points that are largely not covered or ignored because they do not hold merit. Not that this really adds negates what you said, but I used to be a conservative (and not in the vein of the caricature I was employing), it'd be hard for me to misunderstand a position I once held some years ago.

There comes a time where experience and evidence will just not go your way, no matter how many what-ifs and "if you would just listen"'s you throw at opposing parties. You cannot add credibility to your position based on unknowns and chance.

Making sure there is an artificial level playing ground between two sides is pointless. I don't believe this is a case of people stifling view points, but rather the view point in question just not holding any merit.

Equating that to censorship is silly. Furthermore utilizing questionable sources to further a point isn't going to help your view point either.

While the language is nice, I find it hard to work with existing frameworks, given they are designed for a language as dynamic as objective-c.
For example, NSError, NSNotification's userInfo is a `[AnyObject:AnyObject]`, but its member types are specified in documentation. It would be nice if we can have specific error will typed userInfo. Working with storyboard is the same story, there is no type check for VC and segue because identifier is a string, instead of something like `R.id.view` on android. Working with this kind of API requires lots of casting, I wonder will Apple design Swift-centric API later.
There's a lot of software out there. Every car, every phone, every plane, computer, TV, washing machine, factory robot, etc - every thing works pretty much flawlessly on a day to day basis. Occasionally things need a reboot or a patch but that's all. The number of times software fails in our daily lives is pretty low considering we interact with it so often. I'd contend that software quality is actually staggeringly high. It could be higher, but there's the law of diminishing returns and all that.

I, and most of my friends, are liberal minded. After The Guardian established a policy of (ironically) closing comments on their Comment Is Free section when the article relates to refugees or Muslims, I decided to include sites like Fox, Breitbart etc. into my daily feed. (I found the reflex to stifle debate deplorable and wanted to step outside the echo chamber).

Discussions with friends have become more interesting for sure as I reveal their biases.

From defending real violence over threats of violence, (Trump rallies and protests) to ignoring crime statistics, to just being woefully ignorant of what position the other side actually holds, it's incredible to see just how steadfast the Left can be in their ignorance.
It looks like this is a closed binary blob. Disappointing, since I'm curious to see what exactly it does differently.

Quoting from their results

> Furthermore, total red meat intake was positively associated with total energy intake, intakes of all fatty acids, cholesterol, and protein but inversely associated with dietary carbohydrate, fiber, magnesium intakes, and glycemic load. Similar associations were observed for total meat and processed meat.

and also

> In the age- and energy-adjusted models, total red meat and processed meat were significantly associated with an increased risk of type 2 diabetes

This study does not go into refined carbs, but it does adjust for total energy. Don't focus on just this one paper. They this is just one of many such papers. The link between meat and diabetes is well established at this point.

Here's a meta analysis for example: http://circ.ahajournals.org/content/121/21/2271.full

> Red meat intake was not associated with CHD (n=4 studies; relative risk per 100-g serving per day=1.00; 95% confidence interval, 0.81 to 1.23; P for heterogeneity=0.36) or diabetes mellitus (n=5; relative risk=1.16; 95% confidence interval, 0.92 to 1.46; P=0.25). Conversely, processed meat intake was associated with 42% higher risk of CHD (n=5; relative risk per 50-g serving per day=1.42; 95% confidence interval, 1.07 to 1.89; P=0.04) and 19% higher risk of diabetes mellitus (n=7; relative risk=1.19; 95% confidence interval, 1.11 to 1.27; P<0.001). Associations were intermediate for total meat intake.

Note that "processed meat" means any method of extending shelf-life like smoking, curing, adding salt or preservatives, etc. but excludes freezing. None of the the meat-eaters I have known (including myself) really differentiate between processed and unprocessed meat when it comes to their diet.

Edit: All these studies blame just processed meat at the moment. But keep in mind that all we were discussing so far was diabetes. There are more than enough good reasons to avoid all animal-based food, including dairy. I will not go into that now. My intention was to show that sugar has been made the scapegoat for diabetes. There are plenty of other diseases that sugar does not contribute to, but meat does.

> FreeBSD lacks basic low-level exploit mitigation, such as Address Space Layout Randomization (ASLR)

the whitepaper you linked was published in 2014 by Shawn Webb, one of the people behind the hardenedbsd fork. that same year a submission for review was opened on phabricator[1] re. merging their aslr work in mainline fbsd.

it was closed on 2015-10-19:

> Closing this revision. FreeBSD is free to pull from HardenedBSD.

another aslr review request was then created on 2016-03-10 by Konstantin Belousov[2]:

> This revision needs review, but there are no reviewers specified.

that same day he sent a call for testing to freebsd-arch[3].

>This is why I think Google is really in a better position to answer these queries, because the knowledge graph allows the context to provide the nuance you are looking for.

I agree completely. That's why the viv presentation left me a bit unsatisfied. I also had the exact same thought in the middle of their talk : "with google database of concepts, you could do so much more".

But even Google still needs to break the last barrier, and it's related to language itself and culture. Every translator and linguistic knows that a language conveys much more than clear information. It is a mental construct that evolved during thousands of years, and keeps evolving, is full of ambiguities than only culture, experience (and a bit of common sense) can solve.

The best example of this is to notice how bad automatic translators are. Guys at google tried to brute-force the problem, with a gigantic database of text, yet the result is absolutely miserable.

Wow, a non-falsifiable argument about how another side is a priori wrong. I'm sure this is a reasonable point to make.
How blockchains could change the world
In your example, there is an obvious moral argument for an even split. When you're talking about a wider social contract, the morality is less clear. How are people supposed to work out what's an intentional tax incentive and what's an immoral loophole?

Although honestly, what are you doing signing such a dubious contract, even with your friend? If I saw something like that, I'd at least query it, at which point we've probably established a verbal contract for an even share.

> Jonathan Haidt has shown[1] that non-economics social sciences skew more than 14-1 liberal to conservative (and that universities have not always been so skewed).

This seems to be measured by "Democrat" vs. "Republican". An alternative hypothesis is that mainstream American political views have skewed strongly towards the right in recent decades, but that shift did not touch the academy, and also that America became more prominent in research in recent decades (so more researchers labeled themselves by American political parties).

Anecdotally, it seems like there's a liberal/conservative split within the Democratic party, exemplified by Sanders/Hillary. I wonder what you get if you figure out some good way to quantify that, and then redo the statistics.

This is only frightening if you think that there's a lot of ideological conformity within the label "Democrat", or that the specific ideologies with the label "Republican" need representation. There are probably good arguments for those, but they're not completely obvious.

I feel the same way. I actually like dealing with the details and making sure I get the absolute best experience.

Wifi? Best price/date compromise? Probability of on-time departures? Opportunities on connecting flights? In-flight alcohol? In-flight chargers? Free meals? Expected leg room? Luggage price? Carry-on limits? That's a 5 minute conversation right there... 20+ minutes if I want to explore results. I'd call a human if I wanted a conversation.

It's not only the dosage that does you in, but also the processing... which i think is what others are alluding to.

Meaning a can of soda has a whacky amount of sugar to begin with, but also, if compared to say an orange, has no fiber/roughage (which helps the insulin spike supposedly, plus orange will have good micro-nutrients and antioxidants).

I think people should be much more mindful of these manufactured processed foods and drinks, and why sticking to whole foods just makes sense.
Double NAT explained and possible solutions (2012)
Viv is being presented as a platform for other developers to build on top of, and these 3rd party developers will be the ones responsible for fleshing out the specifics of how the queries will work given the domain they are implementing for. They will be the ones who will need to anticipate all of the different ways a user can request for something in particular and include all of the edge-cases that might trip-up the API.

In the end I think queries for certain types of well-established services like asking about the weather are probably going to yield better results than more obscure/complex things like placing an order for building custom furniture from a small workshop.
Well, if you reworked the process, would it at least win the last war? Because if the "new" process reintroduces known points of fragility, you're guarding against potential problems at the expense of known problems.
