And there is the rub, the Boomers have treated their homes as investments, on average their homes are by far their largest "investment", with plans of downsizing to finance their retirement. The problem with this is you need to find someone to purchase the home.

Over the last few years a large part of the reason in the increase in the value of homes has had to do with historically low interest rates and a statistically low inventory due to the number of homes underwater or with low equity. The Boomers are just starting to retire, over the next decade many will attempt to do as you describe creating a glut of homes for sale, while the median household income has continued to decrease making it impossible for the generations coming behind to absorb those homes based upon their income and Demographics, remember Gen X is much smaller than the Boomers and the Millenials have not come into their own yet.

What do you think "you" are exactly?

* Are you a specific arrangement of atoms. If so, then you are constantly dying and being reborn.

* Are you a specific arrangement of neurons? If so you die and are reborn every time a memory is created or a brain cell dies.

* Are you an uninterrupted process of consciousness that evolves from one state to another? If so, you die and are reborn every time you fall asleep.

* Are you your soul? Give me a rigorous definition of soul.

Here's a question: What if, instead of a digital copy, an exact physical copy of your body and brain was constructed (down to the subatomic level) and then I woke you both up at once. Is one of you you and the other not? What if I didn't tell you which one was which?

"Identity" is a human abstraction, not a fundamental physical quality. We're examining hypothetical areas where that abstraction leaks.
At this point I'm not even sure what you're arguing.

In both cases, the sheer quantity of total garbage content gets in the way of individuals finding high quality content that meets their needs and expectations.

Whether the absolute number of quality apps is fairly high
or not is entirely beside the point.

This is all about a) perception, and b) accessibility. If the perception of apps is that they're garbage, and that perception is backed up by an experience that makes finding quality content difficult, that's a problem, whether there's 100 quality apps or 100,000.

Even TV anchorpersons were concerned in the early days of HD, that their small wrinkles, blemishes, or imperfect makeup would be noticeable.

Yes, I recall that he talks about the multi-engine approach with respect to both PCRE and RE2 somewhere in these articles:

https://swtch.com/~rsc/regexp/

Sorry I don't have the exact reference handy. Apparently the author of PCRE tried to implement an NFA/DFA engine for some regexes as well. And I think RE2 might also have different strategies for different regexes as well, but I forget the details (it might be related to capturing).

2) You could be an angel investor too. Maybe you need to have a rocket success of a start-up first, but if you have the aspiration, grit and a bit of luck, you can do it too.

If you're complaining that Topher had it handed to him and you have to work for it. Be thankful that you CAN work for it. In an earlier age, upward mobility was much more challenging. Today, where the CEO of Microsoft grew up the child of a Civil Servant in India, I think if you're complaining that it's to hard, you aren't recognizing the opportunity in front of you.

> Why aren't men and women allowed to express their preferences without it being pathologized?

Because those preferences are mostly the result of sexism.

In 1970, there was no law against women being doctors or lawyers in 1970, yet less than 15% of graduates in those professions were women. Many people said the exact same thing you're saying now: oh, these are just natural preferences and aptitudes. Yet today, women make up 50% of graduates in those professions? Did something change in their genetics? Or did those professions just become less sexist?

What the heck explains 50% of accounting graduates being women, but less than 20% of CS graduates? Some weirdly specific gene?

It was never hurtful things - more just ignorant things.

> But bad behavior is bad behavior

Agreed, but if you'll let me quibble over some more semantics I would argue that people who regularly and consistently behave badly are bad people and that a rare bout of bad behaviour does not necessarily make one a bad person - especially if the person learns and grows from the experience after being called out on it.

>media companies aren't exactly extorting the people, nor price gouging.

In your opinion.
It feels like you could factor off the trust requirements into a much smaller kernel, though.

For example, you could operate (your instance of) your pseudo-legal service yourself, but open-source the codebase (sticking it on GitHub even) and accept patches from anyone.

You could also implement a simple replication architecture for your service, where at any time one node (yours) is considered to be the 'canonical master', and then other nodes can join the network as slaves, receive replicated state, and run as mirrors. Sort of like Linux package repository mirrors.

With such a setup, arresting the original maintainer just means 1. a codebase fork by a new maintainer, and 2. a (probably manual) network master-node election.

And that's just a setup that lets you stay in complete control without having to trust anybody (since you still "own" the codebase, and the master node, until you disappear.) If you are willing to relinquish control to the system itself, you could just build your service on a DHT or a signed store-and-forward hierarchy or a blockchain or whatever. There's no reason that things that are essentially "a BitTorrent tracker exposed through a website" need to have their canonical state anywhere at all.
while you are correct about Putin not wanting NATO on russia's border it's not why Ukraine was attacked. Not external causes (NATO) but internal issues/ideas/reasons, whatever sick they are
> This seems like a bus-factor problem. Why does it keep happening? Why aren't these sites being run by multi-national teams that can survive a loss like this?

I mean, I would assume it's because it's shady business. Even if you made it multi-national, there are probably only a few places where you could reasonably keep the server hidden for an extended period of time (Keep in mind, these aren't Tor services or anything, they're pretty out in the open as far as I can tell) - and you're making money off of ads, so actually getting paid is another complicated issue. And really, if you only need one person, why bring in the risks of a second one? I don't think you'd be very concerned about "keeping the scene alive" if you're going to jail.

Wikipedia is easy in comparison because most countries don't throw you in jail for running a Wikipedia server.

In the early 90's I worked at a company that made server software that allowed Mac AppleTalk (AFP) clients to connect to a PC network. Eventually IBM had us write a custom version for OS/2 called LAN Server for Macintosh. We were really excited about using the streams/resource forks feature but had to give up eventually. We used a separate database to store what's in the resource forks instead.
But how do I send that link to people? That doesn't address the issue arunc mentioned of persistent group chat.

Well there was btdigg, a DHT search engine, but it stopped working a few weeks ago. In theory, everyone connected to DHT could run queries himself, however I am not sure there is software to do that comfortably.
It doesn't actually take that many lines of code to implement a linear time NFA engine. Most of the code is actually in the regex compiler. That is, there are only a few actual "instructions" or node types in a regex engine (alternation, concatenation, etc.). The rest is just compiling the bizarre syntax to a those nodes/instructions. (And dealing with Unicode if you need that.)

The whole awk implementation is 958 lines, so it can't be that bad. It supports a fairly featureful regex language (though no capturing AFAICT).

> If it had succeeded, they would have got a military dictatorship

That's usually not how these things go in Turkey. In 1997, there was a non-violent military coup because of a situation very similar to what we've seen with Erdogan. A few months later, I spent the summer in Istanbul, drinking beer, discussing any and all politics with Turks, and chasing Turkish girls in a decidedly open and free environment. Most Turks I spoke to (admittedly tended to be secular) were quite glad that the coup had taken place and that the Islamist Party (Refah, or "Welfare" Party) was subsequently banned.

Incidentally, at the time the Refah party was banned, Erdogan was an active, up-and-coming party member.

In any case, few of the military coups that have occurred in modern Turkish history have been violent (1980 was significant exception) and none have resulted in a long-term dictatorship (1980 resulted in a 3-year military dictatorship).

Ironically, since 1980, it has been democracy, not military intervention, that has now permitted a dictatorship to gain a foothold in Turkey.

this seems like a classic "remember that USA is the boss of you" move

I skimmed the treaty. It does appear that evidence that the person sought has committed a crime is a requirement for an extradition request, in which case Kerry is merely saying "we're not going to exceed our legal authority just because you asked us to". It is also a requirement, at least in most circumstances that the evidence be for a crime that is punishable by detention for more than one year (i.e. a felony) in both countries.
My advice is Python, but it depends on what your background is and what you want to do. If this is your first language and you have a stats background, R is a solid choice. If you already know another language, R has a lot of flaws that are quite frustrating. Perhaps the worst thing about R is how hard it is to google answers to as opposed to Python.

Like if you google R for loop, the first result http://www.r-bloggers.com/how-to-write-the-first-for-loop-in... is much worse than the equivalent first result for python: https://wiki.python.org/moin/ForLoop
I was a fan after seeing one of his first shows, in which he had his dentist on as a guest to critique Reds, the Warren Beatty movie about the Russian revolution, all from the point of view of dentistry. The guy was deadpan serious, using still images to point out historical fallacy in dental work, anachronism and such. It came across as the real thoughts of a real dentist, in the sort of conversation one might have during an office visit. Dave's affection for the guy was obvious - and you can see that in this interview with Grace Hopper, too. He shows genuine interest in her, and enjoys her qualities as a person, so he lets her talk. So many talk show hosts obstruct and interrupt and make themselves the center of attention. Dave was different from the start and it was refreshing.
I'm not convinced city lights would be what we're looking for. Visible light from space is "waste energy" and, over time, our civilization has gotten better about wasting less. It's certainly imaginable that a civilization 10,000 years more advanced than us (a blink of eye in geologic time) would not have visible waste light.

Given how rapidly VR, remote work/telepresence, and so on is advancing, it's plausible that a civilization slightly more advanced than us won't even physically travel their bodies anymore, or potentially not even use biological bodies at some point, resulting in difficulty detecting any sort of industrial emission or spectrum from the planet.
The Freenet project (https://freenetproject.org/) has decentralized messaging (Frost) but the problem was/is spam and DOS by malicious actors eating up the (already little) bandwidth.

There is a successor (Freetalk?) which when I tried it had some novel features to combat that, i.e. solve captchas to gain "trust" and a "web of trust" where you can vouch for users and similarly receive trust.
LBRY (http://lbry.io) uses a blockchain to maintain an index of decentralized content, with a pretty creative naming scheme that allows writing URLs like this:

Because realistically speaking nobody cares. Having people trust wikipedia to stay open or be at least backed up and not controlled makes them more likely to contribute to the upkeep of the site.

The U.S. still doesn't even recognize it officially as being genocide, so, no, it's probably not time yet.

We're pretty much deaf, dumb and blind when it comes to genocide. We generally allow governments to kill their own people, and often other people, as long as they're brown. When they're white, we draw the line at them killing other people. Sometimes.

What does it mean to be a nazi scientist? I would argue most of these people were pretty a-political and just happy that they got their science projects funded, so they were primarily german scientists that did their rocket science in germany during the nazi era and did not care about much else. That's a big difference to some political people like from gestapo or ss, which soaked up all of the ideology.

smt88 is entirely correct. In fact, his arguments in this thread are excellent, and there's nothing I want to add. Rights are a political concept, and the right to free speech is entirely an issue of government censorship. A private company witholding a service from you cannot infringe your rights.

Within that context, I want to point out that an action can be within your rights, but still be morally wrong. Influential private companies can create an anti-free-speech culture. This doesn't directly infringe on people's rights, but it paves the way for anti-free-speech legislation.

My other disagreement is whether your internet provider could shut off your internet, and not be infringing your rights. I say 'yes': you and your ISP have a right to sign whatever contract you want, and they can set whatever limitations they want on your use of their property (as can newspapers and online services). The rational way for consumers to deal with is not to get the state to step in, but to push for 'no censorship' contracts.

Having written a handful of apps using Angular 1, I would say it's true that you have to learn Angular's way of doing things, but most of the code for the apps I've written is plain JS.

Angular 2 no longer has its own module system, so that's one less Angular-specific thing you have to learn about.
