Which is why I bought a black and white laser printer 10+ years ago. Never need to worry about the ink drying out. I am still on the starter toner. Not sure if I will be able to buy toner when it runs out, but it still works even with Windows 10 over USB. Network mode only works for printing, no network scanner drivers anymore.

That things often continue to be legal (or illegal) well after the consensus on their morality has shifted. And that is to completely put aside those laws that were patently immoral
Especially Europe.
Facebook is not just a private company anymore.

In what sense? Legally they are, they act like one so I am not sure in practice what makes that distinct.

Perhaps you mean that user expectations makes them not "just a private company." In which case I see no reason why that doesn't also extend to pretty much any other much smaller platform in which users complain about moderation or opaque governance (reddit, twitter, linkedin, tumblr etc...). There are numerous examples of change.org petitions asking for kickstarter or some other platform to change how they do business.
I'm sorry. I can't even imagine. I don't even want to imagine.
Yes, they make you feel full... until your blood glucose level drops 1-3 hours later, then you feel very hungry again.

By contrast, if I eat a fat and protein based meal, there is no blood sugar drop to instigate a 'fake' hunger signal, so I don't begin to feel hungry for 4-7 hours or so.
Or they prepended the header themselves as whoever developed the emulator used the de facto standard.
but some toothpaste additive

About 9 months ago I stopped using toothpaste (my Dentist said it was fine) because I read the canker sores I had been getting for years and years were caused by an additive in tooth paste: Sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS). Sure enough, I have not had a single canker sore since I stopped using tooth paste!
When cooking, sometimes the taste of the ingredients isn't everything. Have you ever forgotten to put salt to something you were cooking, and then tried to add salt after cooking to correct it? It doesn't taste the same because in addition to just tasting salty, the salt was supposed to participate in some chemical reaction while it was being cooked.

Artificial sweeteners taste like sugar, but they lack its other chemical properties. Just because stevia works just as well as sugar when you put it in your tea, doesn't mean it will work well as part of a complex recipe or processed food.
That's getting less and less common. Apparently its really easy for North Koreans to get smuggled media from other countries, and a lot of the guards look the other way or take bribes. Most North Koreans probably realize how bad their situation is but don't say anything because they don't want to go to a labor camp.
Could you mention which plugins you switched to? Is there a list somewhere that details the alternatives that work better in neovim?
Many people feel that way too, that's why I started ex-mode[0] for Atom. If anyone cares, it could use contributors.

As someone who has gone down the rabbit hole of measure theory, functional analysis, and the like, I completely agree with the wonderful balance that Prof. Osgood strikes.

For a concrete instance, he brings up the distributional viewpoint of Laurent Schwartz and talks about the class of decaying functions for which one can operate nicely. This was something I next saw primarily in mathematics texts, with very few engineering books caring to talk about this even though it is not very hard to introduce and gives significant clarity to the process IMHO.

Studying Prof. Osgood's stuff off Stanford SEE during my summer vacation at the end of high school was one of the best learning experiences I have had till date.
Seveneves is fiction.

While I agree that a major strike would be horrifically catastrophic, I think it's easy to underestimate the platform for life that exists on the Earth. Unless the biosphere is entirely wiped clean, it's always going to be easier for us to persist on Earth than in space, because this is where we evolved.

We don't understand our global ecosystem well at all. Think about one tiny aspect of human life--the gut bacteria. We are starting to learn that it is important, but we don't really know for sure where it comes from, what it does for us, and how changes in its makeup affect us. The Earth is TEEMING with bacteria, most of it unknown and unstudied. We have no idea what the long-term effects would be of removing ourselves from that permanently.

And if you can think of any risk to the Earth, it's greatly magnified for a spaceship. A comet might hit the Earth? Well even a small meteor will wreck a spacecraft. And there are a lot more of the small ones, and they are harder to see and track.

In the very long run, I hope we do figure all this stuff out and become a space-faring civilization. But in the short run there probably needs to be other reasons to try living out in space.

The two that I can think of are tourism and energy research. Tourism is a huge business and if you can imagine a luxury hotel in low earth orbit, well, it will need a staff and logistical support. As launch costs go down, this might start to make business sense.

For energy research, a multi-terawatt solar array in zero gravity might let you do all sorts of interesting things with exotic materials and high energies, like work on manufacturing antimatter.
Remember that the endgame worry here is a lot more innocent people getting nuked. It's not about keeping a political bargaining chip away from the country. It's the very real risk posed by a despot.
Even if the government power is smaller than previous authoritarian states/monarchies, the simple fact is that the scope and scale of government has massively grown. We're fortunate to be in the only(?) major industry that isn't heavily regulated. Where you can build a sizable business without having to wrangle with regulations at every step (outside of HR and financial regulations).

The best example in the book is how interior designers need a required 4 yr bachelor diploma, pass a difficult test, and buy a licence, in order to choose what furniture and paint colors will look best in a persons living in Florida. Similar regulations exist for cutting/styling hair. Or cutting nails professionally.

Or look at the 'Burkini' ban happening in France right now.

This wasn't some partisan blanket criticism of 'the welfare state' that US republicans take while simultaneously supporting the 100 different agencies and offices that are now involved in fighting terrorism. It was a serious analysis of how far we've come from being able to solve issues society faces without creating another administrative blackhole.

21 million people are working for the US government alone. That's 16% of employed people and not counting the massive amount of private industry that works directly off of gov contracts (particularily significant in the defense industry). So it's probably closer to ~20%. More than all Fortune 500 companies combined.

How many people do you think worked for the crown in France/England in the 1800s?
So, what is the alternative you are using? Water and brushing? Or some organic toothpaste alternative?

Facebook pays its bills by primarily being a mass reach advertising platform just like any mainstream TV channel. They are not some public communications service.

Therefore they will curate their content in such a way that preserves and expands the mass reach as much as possible (eg. by following country specific content guidelines) and keeps them out of legal hot water (in this case, the risk of child porn) and negative imagery contexts to keep them an attractive source for advertising. For instance, mainstream advertisers (with the exception of the Bennetons of the world) don't necessarily want their brands to appear in possibly negative contexts.

Given these economic interests, any content process they have will necessarily lean towards extra caution.
It's not so much "censorship" really as economic self interest.

In these things, follow the money.
And it's completely and utterly beside the point.

We absolutely do expose them (willingly) to violent imagery. Whether it's done by dropping them off at a movie theater or at a friend's house is irrelevant.
I want to use org-mode as well so I tried the switch to evil/spacemacs, but slight differences in keybindings and behaviors between evil and vim were enough to turn me off.
Defectors already tell us that not everybody is on board, they just shut up about it. Denying North Koreans food when they need it might convert those folks to regime supporters once it's used for propaganda value. That increases the regime's power.

There's outright power, which is what you're talking about, and the people being behind you no matter what which is subtly different. If someone in the world starts favoring changing the regime, the people being behind the regime is insurance; it'd be way harder to accomplish those goals with the people in the fight.
Your post now fails wc3 validation.
> If the population starves, there's a huge higher chance of revolution

What makes you think so? They already went through one horrible famine (the "Arduous March", back in the '90s, which claimed hundreds of thousands of lives: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_Korean_famine) without support for the regime shaking.

The absolutely stunning amount of indoctrination and thought control the government has put its people through has made North Korea a place where the normal political laws of nature do not apply. Light bends by itself, water flows uphill. It's a deeply weird place, which makes predicting how its people will react to events very difficult.

I prefer writing <heading level 1> instead of <h1> :p
It is interesting, I just tried pressing 'j' immediately after <esc> and the block prefixing does happen right when I press 'j'. The usual lag is just a second or two for me, though, using Gnome Terminal on Ubuntu. Also, there is no lag at all for me in gvim, even without pressing <esc>j.
There is a scale that's been defined but getting news and articles to use them appropriately is an uphill battle. It'll help when it becomes a more common thing so more people get used to the difference.

Well that escalated quickly

Only saw the documentaries a few months ago. I'm glad this awareness has pushed for deeper more reputable investigation.
As a naive IntelliJ user, I found myself editing files with Vim in IntelliJ's terminal console.
Of course this happened. Duh. It's still happening today. I'm not saying where because I don't know where. But if you do the simple math about how many people are working as scientists, it's not hard to figure out that there are companies who could benefit from positive scientific findings--no matter how wrong--and realize that some of what we're reading in original research was paid for and not really true.

I wish people would keep that in mind when they get all worshippy about science being self-correcting and a great system.

It's not a particularly great system if you are looking, for example, for certainty. If you want absolute certainty, a good dose of syllogist reasoning will serve you better than any inductive method.

The problem is that syllogistic methods break down very quickly in real world applications because you have to find ways of classifying all the objects that may or may not fall into your category of "all", "some", or "none".

The scientific method is not a bad method, but it's not great. And it's weak in ways like this. It is not even close to the best method. But it's the only one we've found that's generally applicable to the human endeavor.

That's all it is. Better at being more general. I wish we'd get over ourselves and be honest about that.
Some of those years of teaching might be less stressful and more productive if the student had appropriate tools and skills.

Those shows that sugar on it its own is OK, what is problematic is mixing it with fat. I.e. as long as fat is less that 10%-15% of calories, sugar and carbohydrates are fine.

Unless its changed drastically since I was a kid (which I admit was a very long time ago) the average parent does not expose their children to violence or violent imagery especially not in middle school. Where the hell do you live where that's the case?
I believe they tried something like that before by writing something like "from the US" on all the food. They just told the people that the US gave them the food because they were scared of North Korea and the food was some sort of tribute.
Follow the money and you will find the motive for what you're being told.

That is definitely true, but way beyond the scope of almost everyone that is targeted by the things that should be questioned.
And be sure to check it again if there's a redirect. Don't let your URL handling library do this. Alternately send all your traffic through a proxy that can't talk into your network.
Don't move from sugar to fake sugar. Move from sugar to other flavors.

Using fake sugar is like a diet, and diets don't last. Lifestyle changes do. Like making every thing you eat not need to be sweet.

As far as the actual food sales, most of the money winds up in the same small set of hands regardless of which fad is currently popular. They'll resist trends that switch from high-margin to low-margin foods, but only until they've figured out how to alter the low-margin food to make it high-margin.

The secondary money-grab is from the food-fad industry. All of the books, all of the websites, all of the memberships, all churning out recipes and advice and misinformation, depends on constant change in what's considered "good". Without constant change, their markets would dry up to a trickle. It's just like the fashion industry; if we all decided to wear the same SciFi-like jumpsuits all of the time because it's really the best thing to wear, the fashion industry would be destroyed. So instead we have a constant rotation of the fashion trends. (At least the fashion industry isn't killing us, though.)

Gogoro,“Tesla of scooters” has hit the 10,000 customer mark
I didn't forget. By your numbers blacks account for half of the murders. So take the US's 3.9 and divide it by half = 1.95. Compare that to Spain (which is full of hispanics, just to elimate that as a confounding variable) at 0.7, which has a 2.8 times lower murder rate than the US non-black population.
Modernization of Reactivity
It required unbelievable amount of man power and money to do those things. The real benefit to all our modern technology is to do more with less. It's not that people were more focused; it's just that there were many more of them and there was way more money involved.
What about all the people who die from diesel particulates? Failing to consider that is exactly the mistake Europe is still making.
my Coke example was actually the fact that Diet Coke has existed for decades, and it and Coke Zero are available everywhere. They taste fine. I don't care about a stevia version. I drink lots of diet coke or coke zero (don't have a very strong preference) and want to eat lots of artificially flavored oreos the same way. I can certainly do that: if I take twelve hours to read and track down ingredients and make them myself or something. these products are not made by nabisco, and oreo is just one example. it's the best-selling cookie in america and comes in all these ridiculous flavors:

http://torispilling.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/OREO-FLAV...

including literally "swedish goldfish" which is disgusting on its face, and also actually disgusting as reported here:

https://www.reddit.com/r/nottheonion/comments/4x4lgz/swedish...

and

https://www.reddit.com/r/videos/comments/4xzdml/my_dad_eats_...

So it's just disgusting.

But if you google Stevia oreos (which wouldn't be disgusting) you get...home recipes to make them.

why? Why, in all of these flavors, including abominations such as swedish goldfish, does stevia not exist?

It doesn't add up. 100%, there's something, someone, some process, some state of affairs to blame here.. . .

> Uber is directly in the fray

Do you mean Tesla? Is quite pointless for Uber to have a car that almost drives itself. They are not car makers trying to sell a better product, they need to get rid of the driver to get any money out of it.

If you are going from the airport to downtown you don't want your car to stop working because it is starting to rain and wait until a human driver comes along.

I think that in that sense Uber is competing directly against Google and not, for example, Tesla. And it looks like Google's technology is more mature, even that it is still not good enough.

For Google is a long time investment, I think that Uber is quite wrong if they think that is a short time investment for them.
There is an increasing distinction between computer scientists (math and algorithms) and software developers (implementation - your systems researcher and co).

Just as originally computer science was 'just math', the very part of it that made it distinct may have become distinct enough to split off on its own.
The important part of that phrase is "most trips." It's going to be a while before cars are cheap enough that most people will have a car with them and even once it starts appearing in cheaper (10-20k USD) cars it will still take a while since people generally use their cars for a good long time before replacing them.
>Trademark? Why would you need to violate trademarks?

This is a straw man argument. I didn't say violate trademarks. I said trademark enforcement. A small competitor can be wiped out easily with legal costs associated with an extended trademark battle in court.

>Build your own system or come up with your own great idea.

Same straw man. I don't have to violate patents to be sued out of existence.

I'm used to seeing people say "vim" where "vi" is meant (of which vim is but one (much enhanced) clone), so when you say you could switch out gcc for clang, or bash for zsh, could you not switch out vim for (e.g.) nvi[0]? If not, why not?

How Google Is Schooling Apple and Microsoft in America's Classrooms
To be fair:

1) Leadership should be criticized, particularly political decisions leading to war, but I'd steer away from treating soldiers like shit. In a lot of ways this is punching down. It's mostly people from poorer families that join the military, as some of the benefits are a huge boon to getting out of poverty for them or their children. I don't know if you've ever talked to a recruiter, but...there's some powerful propaganda there for an 18 year old. Once you're signed up, you can't easily leave, and the punishments for disobedience can be severe.

2) Why should you forget? What possible good could that serve? Learn lessons from the past.
That's the beauty of tying it to aid. You'll have a slow trickle instead of a huge flood. I'm sure the nations that are involved would figure something out on accepting 5k refugees at a time.
The reality is that not all progress can be brought by for profit organizations. There simply are systemic improvements that can't be monetized.

These should have been the job of the governments, but unfortunatelly, those too are the puppets of big corporations and private interests..
