Yes, I definitely don't want to reinforce that and I do agree that narrative is used to give work to more contractors than necessary (I was just using that to paint a portrait of how people perceive contractors versus government employees).

Someone in the Marines isn't paid a lot in cash for what they do, but they do enjoy well-deserved honor and satisfaction in serving in a mission and other intangibles. I know there's a big difference between military and other government workers (members of the military put their lives on the line a lot more), but I do think that just as a Marine enjoys dignity in their work, it is possible to shift the perception of other government workers and give the positions more dignity by raising recruiting standards, empowering the workers to take on more responsibility and playing a stronger role in fulfilling the mission.
> why did you let 1'000'000+ in last two years?

Simple, because over two thirds of those were already sitting in refugee camps in Greece by mid-2015.

Greece asked Germany to pay for the camps.

Merkel decided that paying for camps in Germany would be cheaper than for paying for camps in Greece, and that here maybe a third could actually get integrated, further lowering costs. And the effort to deport them might get easier.

So she said her famous sentence "we won't send anyone who already is in the EU and tries to go to Germany to get asylum back to the EU country they were in before".
> Last time we took in a large portion of out-EU immigrants we didn't send ~2 million of them back

That's wrong.

The last time we took in a large portion of out-EU immigrants was the balkan wars, and we sent all of them back in the late 90s/early 2000s.
What I'm saying is that you took the strongest possible interpretation and knocked it down as a strawman. If there are several possible interpretations of someone's argument, and one of them is obviously flawed, then it's not very generous (or constructive, IMO) to attack the flawed interpretation.
Yes, the language itself you should be able to get used to after a while, but the historical context needs to actually be studied.

I found it useful as a foundation to understand rationalising algebraic fractions; but outside that I've probably only used it a few times, none of which would have been essential.

This is a complete misinterpretation of the concept. The only economy of scale that matters in software is that (in theory, barring certain scaling considerations which are in any case becoming more abstracted out thanks to IaaS) the same program can be run to support 10s of millions of users. Each additional unit costs very little to produce (serve it up via a CDN, some amount of network calls, processing and data storage over the lifetime of a user).
Sure it's nice. Sending data to Microsoft is fine if and only if someone gives their informed consent to give that information (which includes a manifest of the exact information that will be logged and transmitted).

Microsoft isn't entitled to this information. Asking is fine, but tricking people with opt-out settings - which they know most people won't notice or understand - or simply exfiltrating data unasked or against the user's wishes is patently unethical. Stealing data like this should really be seen as the digital version of trespassing or larceny. Unfortunately, the law is slow to change and this isn't a crime.

"Legal" does not imply "moral" or "acceptable to society", and extrapolating your own opinions to other people is the "projection" fallacy.

What part of the essay are you responding to with this comment?
As a "non white" child of immigrants I had no idea what this show was that was always on late Saturday afternoons as I'd be in a long car ride with my family (they listen to NPR during the week in the car). I didn't understand why there was a studio audience or what this man with "the voice" was talking about, until I decided to research it recently amidst the buzz about the retirement. Listening to some clips now and still can't say I really understand it, but that's fine. It's funny though, I also share some nostalgia about PHC, but for me it's for the old tradition of changing the radio station in the car on Saturdays away from this show, and for so many others it's the show itself.
I think that's a good example though maybe in the opposite way you intended. Censorious asshats like to conflate the principle of free speech with legality in order to continue being censorious asshats, which that comic is basically endorsing by pretending that "free speech" is only a legal concept.

> I wouldn't call them AI - they're neither knowledge-based systems nor neural networks.

Out of curiosity, why are you drawing the AI line at neural networks? Neural networks are just function approximators; there's nothing magical about them except they work really well on problems we're interested in.

Would you really not consider an SVM or a Naive Bayes classifier "AI" since they don't use a very rough, very loose analogy to the brain?
this might be a misunderstanding on the purpose of the Police. If you are being interrogated, they are trying to put you in jail until enough reason is given to not. They are allowed to outright lie to make this happen, so long as you divulge something to them.

This is one of the inherent problems in the "right to remain silent". you are correct in identifying that silence (especially in contracts) is an acceptance in dishonor. Furthermore, by going silent, you are instead accepting a limited subset of rights, in lieu your inherent rights guaranteed by your constitution (in North America anyway), which includes waiving your rights guaranteed by the 4th amendment and 5th amendment.

by saying "yes" to the question "do you understand these rights and they have been read to you", you have given up your right to remain silent, which means you've now waived your original rights, as well as the new rights they read you.

Knowing your rights usually leads to a harder/harsher grilling by the police, as they attempt to test you on them. Not knowing your rights leads to an attempt to railroad you through the system.

The safest path has been "Duress" as implied by Uniform Commercial Code Article 1 Section 308. Inform the police in every encounter (i.e. every time they enter or leave the room) that you are acting under duress, and you intend to cooperate fully. Answer all their questions without hesitation, maybe adding a "please don't hurt me" to the end. If you're given anything to sign, your name now becomes "Without Prejudice" or "Under Duress", so sign it that way. Print that name underneath as well. Once released from police custody, you have 72 hours to inform them that your signature was given under duress, and that you're revoking those agreements/documents signed.

It's obviously a matter of perspective: for me writing an opening monologue of "Well, it's getting colder here each night in Lake Woebegone" from a Starbucks on Broadway doesn't feel as sincere as writing the exact same words in St. Paul.

I understand he's trying to depict a bucolic lifestyle and portray himself as a resident and narrator of this fictional little town. But in my opinion if you're sitting at a remove from the area that inspires these stories it's possible for another perspective to color your view. Culturally NYC and St. Paul much less Lake Woebegone are vastly different.

Nobody's saying you have to agree with me, but I do get what he's trying to do. I just find it harder to believe it's anything but entirely fiction as opposed to a tapestry woven from an underlying truth with the names changed to protect the innocent, and for me that makes all the difference.

Ah, now this is gratifying to see. I'm not a lone crazy person. Because I read that book, with high expectations, a couple years ago and came away profoundly disappointed for many of the same reasons.

I did find him to be a hell of an interesting thinker and someone with very interesting ideas, but to me, the whole book had a smell of overconfidence and incredibly weak standards of evidence. Very much in the "well I observed this phenomena, went for a walk and though deeply and clearly the reasons is X", followed by a tower of (interesting) conjecture built on top of X.

I put it down to coming from the economics culture rather than a more rigorous scientific culture.

Aren't all those things already illegal? It is really hard to find people on either side of the political spectrum that wouldn't agree that those things should remain illegal and be enforced.

So most people don't have a problem with that, but they do have a problem with labeling an entire culture, race, or religion is immortal/illegal. That's literally the definition of racism and we should be better than that. Yet it seems like some people are in a real hurry to turn back the clock on that.

Actually I would say that you are more likely to be correct if you wait until there are multiple replicated results before you "have to accept" it as true. One study is interesting evidence, depending on the protocol, but publication bias/filedrawer effect is a real thing and studies are massively biased towards positive results.
This name is awful. I would never want to contribute to it, nor use it. Nor suggest it to anyone as a solution to anything.

It's the worst name since that framework called "cocaine" with tools and subprojects named after illicit drug market terms.

Yeah, "felony" and "cocaine" are not things I will put on my CV or would like to show up when someone Googles my name.

What's the joke here? That some people are incorrectly labelled felons for what they say and write?

Do you know what most "felons" did to be called that? It's not for what they said and wrote that should be constitutionally protected.[1]

[1] I don't have numbers to back this up. Maybe most people are actually felons for drug possession, but you know what? I don't want to be associated publicly with those actions either. Also do you want to be on this table? https://www.fbi.gov/about-us/cjis/ucr/crime-in-the-u.s/2015/...

Thanks for posting this. I'd read it before, but re-reading it after reading Pullum's essay gave me an interesting new perspective on what DFW and Garner are talking about.

Of course, the essay doesn't disagree (or agree) with DFW's prescription for SWE; it mostly just concerns itself with what AAVE actually is.
I used to be an open border supporter but then I changed my mind. The same thing is going to happen to a lot more people in the future. I'm liberal in comparison to most people I know. I feel like neither fish nor fowl because I can see the liberal and conservative positions, a bit like flipping back and forth between seeing a blue dress and a gold dress.

I respect David Cameron for allowing the referendum to go ahead and I respect the Austrians for allowing a recount of their votes after potential fraud was spotted.

Despite that I don't think good stewardship can prevent violence breaking out. Between social media and Islamic terror attacks there will be a reaction, probably starting in France.

It wouldn't be appropriate if every immigrant were a refugee. But, categorically, this is false:

“The number one reason why people leave Syria is not the bombs or the food or the cold, it’s because they want to find educational opportunities for their children,” Mr. Møller explains. “Every refugee is a migrant. Not every migrant is a refugee.” [ http://www.breitbart.com/london/2016/05/15/un-director-admit... ]

"Six out of 10 migrants to Europe come for 'economic reasons' and are not refugees" - EU Vice President Frans Timmermans [ http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/six-out-of-10... ]

"The diversity of asylum applications shows the migrant crisis is driven by more than just Syria’s collapse.... Only 21 per cent were from Syria." [ http://www.telegraph.co.uk/comment/telegraph-view/11877088/N... ]

The vast majority of immigrants are simply looking to take advantage of European Union countries' superior infrastructure and aid/benefit programs.
I can't tell if you're being sarcastic, but I can't let this stand without replying. I live in Idaho and the protected areas are relatively pristine (aside from the inevitable gas stations and lodges needed to handle the high volume of sightseers) but the unprotected areas have been largely deforested, desertified and poisoned by extractive timber, grazing and mining practices. They don't tell you that 95% of forests in the lower 48 have been cut so they are no longer old growth, that the droughts are exacerbated by erosion due to loss of native vegetation, that the easily accessible minerals have already mostly been extracted and now we have multi-billion dollar superfund waste sites with mine tailings like arsenic and mercury that we'll be cleaning up for eons at taxpayer expense. The same story is repeated over and over again throughout the west.

For anyone reading this, be wary that the national backlash against public land is being driven by high federal deficits caused by overspending on the military and taxes on the ultra-wealthy that are at nearly an all-time historical low. Remember that we all own public land as individuals and can use it at any time for any purpose that is not destructive. The idea of freely giving away that land to private interests to be exploited for private gain is deeply unsustainable and I mourn for future generations that would miss out on what we enjoy today.

The great tragedy in all this is that I've found that the people in the most enlightened areas, the regions with the most natural resources and beauty left from the time of earliest creation, can take it all so easily for granted and come to take stances that don't ensure its protection. If anyone is on the fence about sustainability vs economic growth, I strongly urge you to do a full accounting with all externalities. You may find that the philosophies and principles that guide environmentally conscious individuals are rooted in logic and not some knee-jerk hysteria like what is sometimes portrayed by infotainment news. I understand that every community is different, but like most things in our society we can rely on a majority sentiment that only thinks one move ahead, not 10 or 20 or 30 like we do. We can’t go wrong by meditating on such important decisions and drawing our own conclusions, which I’m confident will have little alignment with the propaganda of the day.

A couple of examples from the first minute of the video:

- A ridiculous example of "electronic voting" is presented - voters download ballot papers, fill them, then email or fax them back. This obviously sucks in multiple ways. Therefore, all kinds of "electronic voting" must be broken.

- Physical voting is very old, therefore it must have become solid and tamper-proof by now. This is not true. Physical voting is vulnerable to all kinds of manipulations, and they do happen on large scales.

The wrong claims continue forward. Just because that dude sounds smart doesn't mean his clip has any value.
