That is one aspect of PECF. The other is a grant to the presidential candidate as outlined further down in the page I linked earlier:

PARTY CONVENTION AND GENERAL ELECTION GRANTS
The presidential nominee of each major party may become eligible for a public grant of $20,000,000 plus COLA (over 1974). For 2012, the grant was approximately $91,241,400 for each major party nominee. However, the two major party presidential nominees in 2012 opted out of the public financing program in the general election. Candidates themselves may not raise any other funds to be used for campaigning during the general election period. The general election limit for publicly funded candidates for 2016 is $96,140,600.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Calling someone ugly says at least as much about you as it does them, possibly more.

Furthermore, the whole point of the piece about civility is that it protects individuals so we can more effectively hash out ideas that matter. Unless you are hiring a model, whether someone is "ugly" or not is likely not terribly relevant to the work you are trying to do.

> And the 2nd Amendment WILL be exercise should the government try to ban the 2nd Amendment.

That can only be done via constitutional amendment. such an amendment could only realistically pass if the people actually want it. In which case trying to use guns to stop the process would be criminal, and for good reason.

Unless you are one of those people who thinks the government is gonna bring out the army to start collecting the guns by force.

In which case you definitely fall into the category of people who I don't really want to have access to firearms.
Why a shame? What would Channels buy you if it were included into the framework?

I would love to see Django split up into smaller official external packages and repackaged as two or three different official starter packs (Traditional, API, SPA, etc.) with each containing a different set of packages that make sense (DRF, Channels, Models, Views, Forms, etc.).

I know this goes against the current "Batteries are included" model, but why can't we treat Django as the standards body, and the various starter packs as the more targeted "batteries are included" frameworks.
I totally agree about the focus stealing problem. Drives me crazy.

This conversation is a little off the rails, in my opinion.

Colors of money, market forces, the political alignment of the NYT... None of these are the most interesting part.

The government(s) exists to serve the people, right? To provide safety, predictability in the environment, in our lives. We exchange a little liberty for those benefits and indeed pay taxes, too.

Corporations exist to make money. And to protect their owners from liability, I guess? I'm no expert on why corporations exist, and I certainly can't tell you why they should exist.

This animated series of tweets from the NYT (it's hardly an article!) tells us that corporations, specifically a subset known as "private equity", now own things that the average person does not expect them to own.

For me, the takeaway is: The number of things NOT owned by corporations is decreasing and traditional resistance (by the governments and individuals) is failing or has failed.
Much better optimized CPU/memory use

It appears, however, that ClickToFlash doesn't work on Safari anymore: http://clicktoflash.com, and the general "ClickTo" plugins don't work: http://hoyois.github.io/safariextensions/clicktoplugin/: "Due to Apple’s new development policies, version 3.2 is the final version of ClickToPlugin." That's a huge backwards step in usability IMO.

This is an acquisition to get Bret Taylor. I'd expect Salesforce to put him in charge of slowly improving the core salesforce tech stack.

Let's say there are only 2 users using it. Then a lot of bandwidth would go unused if each user has a hard cap.

Plus, they're crap. Seriously. I bought one of the more expensive ones, with auto channel scanning, still crap. Made me go back to burning CDs until I put an aftermarket stereo with 3.5 mm jack in. Fortunately that's a near-universal feature these days.
100k years is tiny compared to the age of the universe. Even if their ships only travel a tenth of the speed of light, they could have colonized the whole galaxy in a million years. That's a third of the time it took humans to evolve from chimpanzees, and only a tiny fraction of Earth's total history.
> so even if it takes a longer time for life to evolve in that environment, it's still, on balance, more likely that life evolves around low mass stars in the near future ("near" still being tens to hundreds of billions of years). So we would expect that the typical life form will evolve around a low mass star, far in the future.

I find that premise to be false, given our (limited) knowledge about exoplanets already. The limited Goldilocks zone for low mass stars usually results in planets being tidally locked, leaving life to develop in narrow bands or in the hostile zones with direct sunlight or lack thereof.

Not all exoplanets around faint stars may be tidally locked, but with increasing distance it also pushes them out to the limits, where there may not be enough energy for life to develop (at near freezing ocean temperatures)
With more information we may find that perhaps there's also an optimal star brightness, which provides just enough energy at just the right distance for life to develop, disqualifying most dwarf stars.

In either case, whatever you believe, given our extremely limited information, any papers produced can be labeled as speculative, especially when we're talking about something where N = 1.
Well, that's basically it. It certainly isn't cutting edge, nor anything close to it. It's stable and boring. Some people like that, believe it or not.

I tried to adjust to atom, but the lack of full on kill/yank support with the standard emacs keybindings (ctrl-k/ctrl-y; i should note that these keybindings are also standard almost everywhere in OS X) drove me bonkers.

The fact that the kill command overwrote the standard clipboard just crippled my workflow (i routinely, intentionally keep different things in the kill-ring and the standard clipboard; i just couldn't unlearn that muscle memory).
I hope the product continues to grow at Salesforce. I love it and it runs our business. I need it to get some of slack's integration features and it'll be perfect.

Your post is a great description of the phenomenon that Tableb describes in his book Antifragility, as "Lecturing Birds how to fly" [1] Essentially the argument is: we learn by doing and formalize that knowledge in research. Birds don't need to be lectured on fluid mechanics(drag,lift,etc) to understand how to fly.

As I read this post, QUIC has been introduced at least partly to solve the problem of head-of-line blocking. Head-of-line blocking in turn has become a problem since the adoption of HTTP/2, formerly known as SPDY, which is the protocol Google previously foisted upon the world. So the core protocols involved in the web are now the playthings of Google, and when Google screws up the answer is yet another new and shiny protocol with unknown sideeffects.

I know this misconstrues Google's role in all of this somewhat, but it's an interpretation that crossed my mind.
Well, I have a go utility I use (Syncthing) that does not work anymore and the go compiler itself does not compile anymore (Xcode 8 beta 4 installed). Both worked fine in beta 3.

One time I was up for like 36 hours, and I had just gotten a new router from Linksys. I started reading the privacy policy and got really freaked out that they were tracking every website I visited through some kind of HTTP/S proxy.

I wouldn't doubt it because in their policy they paint some pretty broad strokes with their words. Their "Smart WiFi" router phones home constantly and the web interface manager doesn't allow you to run it without third party cookies enabled and JavaScript enabled. I'm going to have to burn that open source router onto it because it said it was capable.

The point of Apple Pay in Safari is to move it to online transactions.
I think Uber is, in practice, an unregulated taxi company, allowing it to cut costs and pay its drivers less, and it would be just as popular if it had no tech at all.
Perhaps they have, and are too small or too large for us to notice?
Quip talked about how many users they had in a Recode article from Oct 2015 [1]:

> Taylor said Quip has millions of individual users and 30,000 business customers, though not all of those are paying.

So to do some back of a napkin math if they had 15,000 paying customers (50% of their noted business userbase) how much would they make in revenue? I've distributed the numbers across different levels of SaaS monthly bills because most customers will pay for the cheaper packages.

75% (11250 customers) * 5x users = $30/m = $337,500/month
15% (2250 customers) * 7x users = $50/m = $112,500/month
10% (1500 customers) * 10x users = $70/m = $105,000/month
5% (750 customers) * 25x users = $230/m = $172,500/month
Estimated Revenue: $727,500/month
or $8,730,000/year

(these buckets of average users could be much much bigger (100's of users) on the higher end if they have enterprise customers but I'm being purposefully modest)

We don't know why ice is slippery? I thought that was understood as hydroplaning (small amounts of ice melt and then you have a low-friction scenario where water separates the two surfaces). I've read that when ice is cold enough and the other surface (a rubber tire for example) is also below freezing point there is good traction.

Is there a description of this that a layman such as myself with a college degree in mathematics (heavy undergraduate physics) could understand?

Depends. It apparently is real enough. Higher 5GHz WiFi band channels can interfere with airport radar. That's why the standard mandates a router to switch to another channel if it detects radar signals.[1]

But of course using an illegal channel is simply illegal...

Apple Pay: From https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2016/703/?time=9...: "You take an Apple Pay server URL, and this URL is provided from Safari. You send this URL to your web server, which then requests the merchant session." -> Seems like Safari only :/

PiP: From https://developer.apple.com/macos/: "And if you use a custom video player, it’s easy to add a Picture in Picture control using the JavaScript presentation mode API." -> Seems like it's possible for 3rd party browsers to implement it!
I don't particularly like ads but I don't have a problem with the idea of ad substitution. This isn't very different from ad injection that WiFi hotspot and other captive portal operators do. For me, it is more about privacy than not seeing ads (provided the ads are not annoying and don't interfere with my viewing content).

Now for Brave, their incentive is to maximize profits just like any other ad broker. This is not necessarily aligned with my interests as a user. I get their theory, I just worry about how this works out in practice. To trust Brave, I have to believe they will never get greedy and never relax their privacy or security standards, even if these interfere with profit-making. That's a big ask. I would be tempted, too.

I also have concerns about 'malvertising', which has affected many high-profile sites who employ world-class security teams. They haven't been able to stop malware infecting their users via ads.

Admittedly this whole comment is pure FUD but that's just it - I am not certain Brave is the answer, and the easiest thing for me to do is keep using an open-source browser with an ad-blocker. Bonus, I'm using NoScript and have a gigabit FTTH connection and let me tell you, the web is lightning fast!

Good luck Brave team, but I don't think I am your target demographic.

I don't know for sure, but I'm going to say 'not entirely'.

Certificate pinning would prevent you from sniffing the requests, and if they made API changes, you would be unable to analyze them.

So I think the reason Pokevision stopped working is because they may have made API changes, but they've been unable to see what the changes were.

Info graphics marry numerical data to imagery.

For example: it's an info graphic if you show some number of cars unevenly distributed across two lanes on a road and explain that each car in lane A represents 10,000 rental cars and each car in lane B represent 10,000 driver-owned cars, and the sum of the infographic cars * 10,000 happens to equal the number of cars on USAmerican roads, assuming that the infographic specifies that its subject is rental-vs-ownership of cars on USAmerican roadways.

See? An info graphic is a fancy chart or graph. Every rule from your highschool science textbook about charts and graphs applies to infographics.
