And that's progress, too. But you're asking us to ignore decades of history because of one crowd at one event. That's not reasonable.

If the Republican Party wants us to believe that they're pro-LGBT now, let them prove it with legislation, not just cheers. I'll believe it once I see the majority of Republican lawmakers actively promoting full equality under the law for gay and trans people, not before.

> Do you mean that you think a singularity would form asymptotically slowly from an outside frame of reference as gravitational time dilation increased?

Yes.

> it's still ridiculous because the event horizon would exist anyway so the effect will be the same.

How would exist? It would only form after infinite time - time dilates as a function of how close it is to a black hole (i.e. you don't have to already be a black hole to dilate time), reaching infinity as it forms the event horizon.

> I think the majority of people try to be generous and give the benefit of the doubt, but I'm a physics grad and even after a lot of thought I'm not sure what you're saying. It's hard to give informed criticism in that case but easy to downvote and move on.

Thanks for the reply. If I gain nothing else except an understanding of how a black hole can ever form the downvotes would be well worth it. As best as I can understand it can't form, yet everyone just seems to implicitly believe it can.

The rest I just kind of threw out there to see what criticism I would get (none as of this writing, just some insults), but the black hole one really bothers me because that one is grounded in ordinary, orthodox, descriptions of black holes.

Every description describes them as matter caught falling in infinitely slowly, yet simultaneously say matter actually falls in and somehow forms a black hole. It's a contradiction - I can't be the only person in the entire world to see that.

What does "equality under law" mean? Vast bodies of law supported by either democrats or republicans are discriminatory by design(for example, affirmative action, religious exemptions, etc) - you would have to define what issues need to actually be addressed, otherwise it's a fairly empty statement.

For example, gay marriage is not "equality under law", as there are still plenty of prohibitions to marriage - for example, incestuous or polygamous relationships are prohibited from marriages in many a state, which means supporting gay marriage does not support "equality under law", but extending the privilege of marriage to a wider group.
I doubt it controls for age? (Also what's up with the tiny sample?)

To expand a bit on the age thing (and I'm sure I'll get downvoted for this again): for the older generation the default position was to be against gay marriage. Today, the default position is to be for it.

Does that mean today's generation is superior? Probably not, as I would guess most people haven't actually read the science/whatever on their own. They just parrot back the opinion of their social circle, unless it's an issue they actually care passionately about (then they might actually research it). Exactly like the older generation.

So basically... there's a difference in the initial conditions. Does it really matter? Would you be any different if brought up under the old conditions? Does whether you were told gay marriage is good or bad influence your ability to come up with a good economic policy?

I find it a little silly to have to wait for the older generations to die out so the percentage drops to a prettier level before we can have debates again.

Ideas aren't patentable at all.

In no country I guess. You have to transform your idea in something more concrete first. A piece of hardware, a process, a composition of matter you name it.

Imagine all those stupid ideas from just lying in the bed and thinking about being patented. Nothing would have been created but everything would have been patented. That's worse than patenting a formula or a piece of software.

> This is fundamentally an issue with the educational system. Change the system the rest will follow. Saying that humans don't work this way is like saying that nothing heavier than air will ever fly.

No, it isn't. Check out a book called the Structure of Scientific Revolutions to see how humans really work; even the best and most intellectual of us age and die clinging to old ideas we just can't unlearn. Any future that relies on most people continually learning new and ever changing skills is a future only possible in fantasy.

> I don't think that AI and human intelligence will ever completely converge.

They don't have to, what I said applies even without strong AI. This notion that AI is only disruptive when it reaches human level is not well thought out.

> I think that the world is a "fractal".

I think that statement carries no real meaning; I could snazz it up and say I think the world is a quantum fractal, but it's still just technobabble with no meaning.
Your perspective is also how I interpreted Peter Thiel's speech, a focusing of GOP attention on economic issues, but sadly I think it's the GOP that has higher stakes in sexual cultural issues as get-out-to-vote mechanisms, and that's the segment that Ted Cruz appealed to. And I think that vote is so important that Peter Thiel's call to refocus GOP attention cannot be GOP strategy.

The Christian base has been an important pillar to GOP power. The GOP used to / still treats Christians as first-class citizens, whereas the Democrats treated Christians with a secular attitude ("your religion is no more important than any other religion, and secular concerns should always be higher priority above christian concerns"). In individual states, such as Texas, the GOP is more brazen about including the unqualified God as an important pillar of their party platform.

And the only high-consensus Christian issues since George Bush Jr. have been entirely about sexual issues, the top two being abortion and homosexuality. George Bush set a tone for the GOP party, and he sent a message to Christians that they would be #1 in the GOP, when he discussed a constitutional amendment restricting the definition of marriage. In that year all candidate from both parties discussed their favorite bible verses, and presented evidence of their small town church credentials.

Peter Thiel might want economic and domestic policy to be the focus of the GOP party, but the GOP is not going to win without Christian energy. They will need to show that the top Christian consensus issues (entirely about sexuality) are going to receive the first-class attention that is worthy of the only true religion. That assurance, true or not, is what Ted Cruz brought to the table.

GoLang: Who needs generics? Use ... instead
Lived in Shenzhen, Southern China for a year in tech. Most foreigners I met there were either English teachers or in trading.

I come from Southeast Asia so the treatment is different (white privilege is extremely beneficial). Xenophobia is next to none. I managed to join a Chinese football/soccer team and badminton group.

I didn't apply for the job in China on purpose so can't help you on that. The difficulty of obtaining a visa sits on polar opposites. If your employer is a legit and big organization, you can get a legit one.

Others I met in Shenzhen just went with a business visa good for 30 days. This worked fine in this city since you can simply take a train to Hong Kong and reset your stay. Get a passport with more pages if you plan to do this.

Culture - most Chinese are very tolerant or don't care at all. I've heard other people say that Chinese are rude/impolite. You get used to it or get too tired of it.
Agree, but that is because when compared with other languages exceptions in C++ were always bolted on.

They don't play well with manual memory management or the C semantics C++ was trying to be as compatible as possible.

They don't play well with:

- constructors/destructors

- manual resource management

- low level code like UNIX signals

- allowing every possible type to be used as exception

So all of that made C++ exceptions poor cousins of how exceptions are used in other languages.

I have used exceptions in quite a few languages and rather use them (the alternative being sum types), but do understand that how C++ evolved they are an unwelcome feature.

India is exactly the same, for its much hyped democracy, it is one of the most corrupt countries in the world.

>Reddit isn't Internet infrastructure. It is a startup. The plan from day one was to make a kinder, gentler imageboard, get acquired, and make the founders rich.

Can you point out the specific words that "demean" the work of others? All I see is the assertion that reddit is a startup (which is factual) and the founders wanted to get rich (which is true for every founder I know, and is not demeaning in any way).

Yup. The difference is I'm looking for info, not assuming I'm right.

Now, that, is an insult considering how long I studied it. I wish I did more, but my math wasn't good enough - to my constant sorrow.

No claims! It's bad you read it that way. Rather unorthodox ideas, and looking for confirmations or refutations based on explanation, not appeal to authority.

For example: How much energy does the gravitational potential energy of all the stars in a galaxy embody? A calculation of that would confirm of deny me easily. But I don't know how to do it. I was hoping to get a reply from someone who did.

How AngularJS Framework is better than jQuery?
Angular can use jQuery if it's present in your app when the application is being bootstrapped. If jQuery is not present in your script path, Angular falls back to its own implementation of the subset of jQuery that we call jQLite. jQuery is like a free poetry, you write lines and keep some relations and momentum appropriate for your task to be accomplished.

As I've said in another comment, I would guess that being pro or anti LGBT is strongly correlated to age. Old generations were told it's bad, young generations are told it's good, and they vote accordingly -- only a few care enough to research it. It's hardly a good predictor for how good of a human being you are.

Therefore, this will naturally cease to be a problem as the old generations die out, and we're already seeing signs of it.

One would hope that we can thus move on and start discussing more interesting things (college republican/democrat debates, where you are automatically a monster if republican, I'm looking at you).
Because the second a better alternative appears, I'm going to switch to the alternative without hesitation. Having original content provides something that an alternative can never provide, especially if that original content is good.

One thing that bothers me about reddit already is the amount of blatant advertising in many subs where people review things. A few brands catch on early and everyone becomes a promoter, sometimes because the brand developed recognition, sometimes because of subversive marketing.
Somehow I can imagine that not being the case with offshored projects.

I think the problem is that most of Reddit's current 'content' isn't monetizable to the degree that they need it to be. In its current form, Reddit is mostly an aggregator of other sites' content, which makes that content much harder for Reddit to make money off of. Self-serve CPM and CPC ads will only get you so far in terms of revenue nowadays.

I run a company with an advertising based revenue model with seven figures of yearly revenue, and CPM isn't what the largest advertisers are looking for. Everyone wants custom created content now, and they pay high premiums for this type of content.

I love Reddit as a news aggregator, but I can see why they need an editorial and content team for revenue generation. I'm certain that most large user generated content sites like Snapchat and Facebook have writers and editors to help paying advertisers create content.
Well you manage the number. If your target is a high number of internet points your post will aim to maximize that.
For that Rust still needs to win the hearts of all those manufacturers selling hardware development kits.

Yes, they really have similar parts (mostly Operation and Action). But Hanami is a framework and Trbr is a architectural layer, that could be used inside any framework. In Trbr I really like the idea of Representable to convert objects. Trbr is more tailored for Raiks, to allow step by step improvement of existing Rails apps. Maybe it is not so important for Hanami, but with Sinatra it will still help a lot.

I think there are many things pushing towards more complexity, and not much of it is "bored developers pushing things to polish resumes".

1. It takes longer to teach someone even "simple" web dev than it does to leverage the programming talents of experienced devs. This means businesses are better off making tools that allow a small group of devs to create many simple websites or a few really complex websites than just keeping it simple. Even a small dev company can produce output that matches what used to only be possible with the resources of a much larger software company.

2. As they mentioned, the path web dev is going is towards a device independent software dev environment instead of simply serving up content or a few simple tools. This is across the board from internal IT, to small B2B, to large B2C resources. Alot of my personal programming time is adjusting the generic B2B platform to meet the needs of a specific client we have that doesn't quite fit the original project. It's frustrating, but a large source of complexity and not "unnecessary" since it pays the bills.

3. The number of devices that have to be supported by a platform is also greatly increasing, and it makes the code itself, especially on the js side, much more complex in response. I'm continually thinking "why do you want to squish our site down to your piddly little phone", but that's the primary way alot of users have access, and if you don't support it, you'll lose out to competitors that do.
