All that aside, I do wish you good health and hope that you can get the treatment you need soon.

Thank you (and I mean that quite sincerely).

Practically speaking, though, how will I get treatment? Intervention from the government is the only reason I'm waiting for care right now. (See my comments in other posts on this thread - I establish this in great detail if you consider my posts together.)
The way I heard it was essentially: both. With this sort of issue, it's usually some advocacy group of the Left that gets the ball rolling with policy (not legislation, usually some regulatory, rule making, or court thing) and then the Right feels the need to react as it's advocacy groups see fit. In the meantime, more critical, if perhaps boring, problems are ignored. Sure, to those for whom this is their world there is nothing more critical, but on the whole it is a side show.

I think Thiel is correct on this point. And I do think it was remarkable that he got such a warm reception on his statement about being Gay and not agreeing with all the platform planks; and that Trump's statement on Orlando was so warmly received.

Having said that, for me jury is out. Personally, this election feels not unlike how I'd feel about be given a choice between killing a puppy, killing a kitten, or just walking away leaving them both to starve. There is no option that won't make me sick, and even just not voting leaves you with the taste that this time you should have done something productive to stop one or the other from getting in.
Someone on the other side would argue that if the left-wing hadn't started pushing for it, North Carolina wouldn't have passed the law.

Again, no matter what your position is on this, it's quite clear that the "left" is the group that altered the status quo and therefore brought the issue to the foreground.

Gun deaths in America
Aw, they're concave.

Many years ago, when Symbolics LISP machines roamed the earth, Alex Pentland wrote the first animation physics engine. Everything was a deformed superellipse, or rather the solid of rotation of one. You could apply a bend and a taper to a superellipse-generated solid. These were called "superquadrics".[1] I spent much time trying to come up with an analytical formula for the closest distance between two such objects, for collision detection. This was a dead end; polyhedra and meshes, although they required much more bookkeeping, were more useful in programs. Interest in superquadrics died out.
Wasn't that a JS injection and not anything to do with passwords?
>Secondly, I think we want a society where police choose constructive dialog over violence.

seeing how deep the police got addicted to violence one can only wonder whether it is possible for them to get sober at all.

I mean you can't make that up - https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/morning-mix/wp/2016/07/2... . Just make sure to watch the video. The police tried to shoot the autistic patient even after the therapist clearly explained to them everything, and there were absolutely no danger to anybody. The police screwed the shot [fortunately] and instead of killing the autistic patient they hit the therapist in the leg.
That's interesting. It demonstrates my point that a large machine is not to be disregarded just because of its inefficiencies.
I don't agree with all of Thiel's politics (I do identify as a libertarian thou), but I do respect the amount of courage it took to speak at this years RNC. The amount of disdain he'll receive from the Valley will be something else.
In that case, then who cares what his ideas are?

All ex-communist countries were poverty is the status quo have a similar way of dealing with things. We call it bribe, but most of us are on the bright side of the planet, financially speaking at least.

If Irlan didn't wanted to be bribed there would no discussion. All the chit-chat was in order to induce the victim to bribe him.

I heard much more salty stories from my father who was a Businessmen in the Balkan area in the 90s and 00s. After 2002 the situation in the Balkan area improved a lot, but it's not uncommon for police officers to get bribed, it's their way to make ends meet and the easier way for a foreigner to get things done.
And again, that isn't correct. The status quo was that you used the bathroom for the gender you identified as. And the status quo was maintained, perhaps silently, for a long time. HB2 upended that and imposed on personal freedoms.
The article states that they didn't want him to rat them out to their superiors about the nice treatment and the help. Being allowed to take a pic doesn't mean he was meant to sell them out on the Internet. The guy who will particularly be screwed is the one that accepted the bribe.
It is very hard to make libraries that rely on features that can be turned off.

The bad idea was making language features optional.

Library writers are forced to either support all possible combinations, don't use any of them or use them and see their library being rejected by those that won't turn on the features even at point gun.

One of the things that made me initially enjoy Java was that there weren't features to turn on or off.

(Not sure what you're talking about with codecs. H.264, AAC and MP3 are supported in all major browsers.)

For example, H.264 is patent-encumbered. It’s now supported to some degree for HTML5 video elements by all the major browsers on most platforms, but it has been a long road to get that far.

Mozilla struggled for a long time with getting support into Firefox across platforms. To this day, Firefox still relies on third party software and/or hardware decoding to provide the required functionality, and this was a real world limitation on at least one major platform as recently as two years ago. A similar limitation would affect any other browser whose developer wasn’t in on the patent pool or paying royalties to it.

Google also threatened to pull H.264 support from Chrome for a while, reportedly because of concerns over the licensing costs.

Anyone distributing video encoded using H.264 also needs to be mindful of the licensing rules. Although small scale and non-commercial uses typically don’t require royalty payments under the current rules, there is a legal minefield here for anyone operating a larger business who might be affected. This is a significant concern in itself given that some major browsers only support H.264 for HTML5 video.

Beyond the patent issues, we also have the issue that H.264 comes in many flavours, and support for those isn’t standardised across browsers and platforms either. Unless you’re only talking about the least common denominator, it’s not really sufficient to refer to H.264 support; you need to know which specific variations are supported on any given browser, OS and hardware in order to serve video with the best possible quality and efficiency. Finding that information is not straightforward, even if you have the resources to then encode in many different variations once you know.

Looking at the above, it’s hard to see anywhere that the current situation is actually better than what we had for a long time with plugin-based players, except on newer systems that don’t support those plugins. Which brings us to…

Well you can't rely on Flash being available anyways. It's not available at all on mobile.

Of course you can’t rely on it now, but that is mostly an artificial limitation imposed first by the mobile browser developers and subsequently by Adobe themselves in response. A Flash player was available on Android for a long time, and Microsoft were reportedly keen to see a version running on Windows Phone as well.

What we’re really talking about here is Apple starting the ball rolling by refusing to allow plugins on iOS, for reasons we may or may not believe are what Apple publicly claimed at the time. Considering that there have been numerous significant problems with Apple’s support for HTML5 video on iOS devices — not least relying on the infamous AppleCoreMedia to handle that content instead of the browser itself for a very long time, causing all sorts of functionality to break — and that Apple’s policies prevent any other browser on iOS from doing better, I have always found their stance on this rather hypocritical.
Donald Trump Jr went onto Morning Joe and said he never said something that stupid.

Edit: He said on Morning Joe that Trump Sr was not part of this conversation and his head would be rolling for suggesting such a deal. What makes you think this is Trump Sr's style? From what I can see from his campaign he is very hard working. Always willing to give media reports and has very rapid response times. He responded to Nice within 8 minutes.

If anything hiring someone else to do the job seems to be Hillary's style. She always has surrogates speaking to the media. Trump isn't afraid of defending his position to highly critical media. Its something that even his critics admire.

No matter if you are a Trump support or hate. There are definitely things you can admire about Trump's character.

That's an old view of the republican party. They were staunchly against gays, and the democrats didn't exactly embrace gays, but they didn't want to make their lives miserable for being gay.

But, we have a new republican party now - one that is centered on Trump at the moment and is entirely concerned with the economics of the middle/working class. I'm glad to see that's here. I've always been conservative leaning, but couldn't countenance being a republican because of their old social views which I thought to be completely backwards.

Now that they've dropped that, and (I think) embraced identity differences, I am more than willing to throw my hat in with them.
Learning about launching a new site
Of course it can. Why is the origin of a particular controversy relevant to telling both sides to stop sweating the small stuff and get on with the critical business of running the country? If anything the, "they hit me first", sort of back-and-forth is exactly the sort of thing he's saying is the problem. I don't know that Trump is the answer to that, but on his statement at the convention: Thiel is right.
Browsers already support HTTP/2. The problem (IIRC) is that there is no way for Javascript to access the HTTP/2 functionality. Once JS engines have access to these functions, then gRPC on the browser will be possible!
The quote at the beginning of the SO question you linked to, one of the top-25 questions of all time, is so ironic given the current state of SO:

SO is a great website, but I wonder how much more it could've been if this sort of a page was allowed now.
Hi, I have ads running on three subreddits right now, the smallest one has only 1,460 readers. Considering the CTR (click-through rate) I guess putting ads on subreddits smaller than that might not be worth it, even if that ad has been live for over a week it's still at less than 400 impressions/views.

As a reference, I have an ad on the /r/programming/ as well with 678,120 readers, that one has 113,613 impressions/views during the same time period.

This is what I detect in Reddit's new ideas: the fear that the existing site is good enough for most people and its population has therefore stabilised... which would be pretty bad for certain kinds of investor looking for a big one-off return instead of a consistent dividend.

Not sure what you're getting at, but your history is wrong:

"In a one-day specially convened session on March 23, North Carolina’s legislature passed a sweeping law that reverses a Charlotte ordinance that had extended some rights to people who are gay or transgender.

Read more here: http://www.charlotteobserver.com/news/politics-government/ar...

The North Carolina bill was not something that was pulled from thin air to antagonize a disfavored community, but it was a response to a local ordinance which sought to codify specific legal privileges for that community.

No matter what you think of either law, the sequence of events is not how you represent them.
Understood. I still don't see the relevance, but never mind.
Jon Stewart is really smart and knows how to turn a phrase. I'm not as good as him, so I'll try to copy him:

"These guys say, why are christians so sensitive about their religion, but god forbid you draw a cartoon about their prophet, because then it's fucking terrorism" - except "the war on christmas" is rhetorical spin by fox news, whereas the terrorism committed against people who have breached muslim religious norms is real. That does not mean "these guys" actually support the terrorism, it's simply rhetoric to discredit your opposition.

When Stewart says "these guys", I am sure he knows the fallacy he's committing - smearing a whole group by the actions of a subgroup within it. Since most such statements are not followed by rigorous statistical analysis to prove whether this sentiment is widely-held and core to the group, they're almost always just a rhetorical device to score points against your political opponents. Any sufficiently large group will have a dissonance of voices within it. By extracting a particular issue out of its context and reaching for the widest label possible to slap on it, you can accrue political capital without actually dealing with the issue.
Does Thiel really think Trump's proposed protectionism will benefit America in the long run? If he thinks that he isn't as smart as I thought he was.
what?

have you looked at the positions of the current candidate for VP? the various "bathroom" laws, as currently exhibited in Carolina?

the republicans, especially the evangelicals amongst them are pro LGBT. what. the. hell.

trump's speech got praise by david duke. the grand-wizard of the KKK, in case that isn't clear.

and this is the republican party platform. thiel right in the middle of it. pro big government, how else will you deport 11mio people, enforce law and order and build that wall?

libertarian MY ASS.
i love to do Rap
Thus far trump has paraded Mexicans on stage (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lm6LGITkiz4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UJVAaPPXdew) while talking about building a wall between our countries, pointed out black people in the audience ("look at my african american over here" http://www.cnn.com/2016/06/03/politics/donald-trump-african-...) but wouldn't condemn David Duke's endorsement (http://www.politico.com/story/2016/02/trump-declines-to-cond...) and now gets Thiel on stage after choosing a running mate who thinks conversion therapy is science.

Trumps positions seem to be pro-xenophobia, pro-racism, pro-homophobia. That is the ticket Thiel is supporting -- it is the platform Trump rode to the top. But hey.. muh tax breaks!
the biggest problem i have with trump is his seeming stance on protectionism and anti globalism.

but like most things he says, i'm not sure if he means it.
he got an extremely positive reaction for being proud to be gay in the video. i think obviously it's b.
I'm talking only about the httpOnly flag. It's worse than useless because it makes you think that you dodged some kind of bullet, when in fact that same class of attack can still happen: the attacker needs to craft a script to send the cookie to their server, so they might as well have that script execute the actual requests in the context of your authorized session, the same way that they'd do it if they had your cookie. They would write the script ahead of time. No real attacker would sit there at 3 AM making requests because their victim finally activated a script that sent them the cookie. Far more likely, that script is already pre-programmed to do what it needs to do. And if httpOnly cookies didn't exist, the people would care more about sanitizing their Javascript output to prevent XSS, which is the only correct way to prevent this attack.
You are correct but all those books on cpp exceptions are about a bit more than dealing with issues related to optionally disabling them :-).

I disagree with Thiel a lot too, but I always recommend everyone to read his thoughts. He thinks independently and is smart. Thus, from him you can pick up interesting ideas that you won't get elsewhere.
Those kinds of arguments are easier to fabricate than to actually assemble well thought out, evidence-backed positions. They're probably more effective too. This applies to both sides.
The Republican platform literally calls for conversion therapy for gay children, the overturning of nationwide gay marriage, rolling back civil rights protections for lgbt people, forcing transgendered people to use different bathrooms, and discouraging gay parents from adopting -- one token gay guy on stage doesn't change any of that.

It's not just liberals that think Republicans are homophobic, its gay people and Republicans too. Many in the party are proudly so. There's a reason their support from there lgbt population is ~0% (likewise with black, Hispanic, and Asian people as well).
Mike Pence is a serious problem for me, for his religious views mostly. Economically, he seems to have helped Indiana do well - I don't know if that scales nationally or not. Gary Johnson s a choice is looking likely for me.

While we're throwing around ideas, how about this:

Black holes do exist. They are simply the beginning of the inverse of what we call the "Big Bang". The Big Bang was space and matter appearing from nothingness. A black hole is space and matter disappearing back into nothingness, where it came from. At the current time in our universe, black holes exist only locally, dispersed thinly throughout space. As time progresses (billions of years), distinct black holes will merge, forming larger black holes, eventually usurping all space and matter in existence, leaving behind nothing. And then, a new Big Bang, followed by its inverse, can occur again.

The only somewhat confusing part is that, while the universe may have expanded from a single point (the Big Bang), it will not contract into a single point before disappearing. I'm not entirely sure why, but this is exactly the same we see with all extinct life forms: evolving from a single point/origin, but disappearing as a multitude of separate things spread out over their habitat. Or perhaps it's simpler to just say: from the perspective of the universe space doesn't exist. The universe comprises space. It doesn't move in space, it is space (and all that it contains).
