They seem to be doing just fine without the consent of the governed, given voter turnout in the US.

I prefer to look through the lens of expected value. How can you vote in a way that maximizes the chance that your preferred policy outcomes will go through? "Don't vote for anyone who has supported it in any way" is nice in theory, but there are plenty of times when a vote any other way has lower expected value.
Yes I agree with your last point. You could package up apps, community, meetups, tutorials, shopping and content around a particular niche. People are much more used to paying to support their hobbies and interests. It would be a premium product that people actually want to buy.

I think the magazine and tv industry are much closer to this than newspapers. Just look at some of the BBC titles that have TV, web, magazines and even live shows.
In the Brexit threads, it was discussed that the EU language selection is not really representative of populous or culture. Each country could only select one, and multiple entries didn't add anything. So many countries who may have potentially selected English didn't, because it was already selected by another country and it would be a "wasted" selection. For instance, Ireland has more English speakers than Irish speakers, yet it declared Irish as its EU language. It may very well switch to English when Brexit completes.

Say what you will about Balmer, but I think he was right when he chanted "Developers, Developers, Developers." To me, the Windows Subsystem for Linux is their attempt at keeping web developers using Windows desktop systems. (And by extension, their admittance that the era of M$ desktops reigning supreme has begun its steady decline.) Perhaps I'm biased (quite likely) but I see a company scrambling defensively more than the monopolistic "my way or the highway" we got in decades past - Apple and Google now enjoy that position, not so much Microsoft.
A lot of organic milk is like this too. They pasteurize it differently because it sells more slowly.
Those are all super good points. I am also a contrarian. So I understand your points.

But this is basically coming down to the sharp drop off in your world view. You give Trump a wide latitude in what he says. What if he puts her in jail? What if he meant that? What if he meant everything that he said but you explained it away?Were you complacent?

It's not, at least for some of us. It sounds pretty horrible really (though better than no assistance at all). I don't know about you, but living in a dorm doesn't sound like much fun to me, depending on the exact living conditions and my neighbors. Having roommates sucks; I've done it many times, and I don't like it. Now I will say that I used to live in a dorm in college and bought out my room, and that was a nice arrangement: friends down the hall, but the room all to myself (had to share the bathroom though), plenty of activities within walking distance. But here, my neighbors were all college students, not the general population, so that probably made things more bearable. So if for some reason I can't get a good-paying job and have to live on UBI, but it lets me afford my own small dorm room all to myself, plus a meal card at the cafeteria, plus healthcare, and the neighbors are decent and I don't have to worry about getting robbed or burgled, then that actually sounds like a pretty sweet setup. Force me to live in a room with 3 other roommates, though, and I'll probably be looking at how to just camp out in a tent in a park somewhere.

I've talked to many cryptographers in the field. Universally they appreciate the solution for its simplicity. We don't use any new crypto - the whole construct is based on a CS-PRNG, hashing and HMAC.

You talk to this service just like you talk to any service over the LAN or WAN. Through an encrypted channel. Goes are the days when you can just dispatch a request over the LAN and assume you're good. We are happy to setup dedicated machines with spiped as we are using TLS.

But certainly you look at solutions like CloudFlare or even dare I say Firebase, and the industry has moved far beyond your level of paranoia.

I don't want you to use it instead of your basic KDF, but in addition to / after your KDF.

13 million Americans had over $15 Billion stolen last year in cyber-heists and almost 70% of those attacks were using a stolen password. The basic KDF is not working, and it's time to stop blaming the user for not having 69 bits of entropy on their password and start giving companies the tech they need to actually secure their passwords.

My plumber isn't allowed to call himself a plumber unless he follows the rules for plumbing. Same for my accountant, doctor, electrician, and lock pick.

I get the "free speech" argument, but I still cannot understand why we don't have rules about who can and cannot call themselves a journalist.

Coming up with these rules might be tricky, but shouldn't we try? Or have we and I'm just uninformed?

It was not a "split." It was the social justice wing of political atheism saying to the entire group that everyone must conform to their values, or get out. And I am not exaggerating about that, not even a little bit.
And I can install a 'Skype stub' application that doesn't do a thing unless you start it as well.

It's still crapware, unwanted and useless. If I want anything but the Play Store (honestly.. I shudder, whenever I have to write/say that name. How can you take that name serious, ever?) itself, I can install it. Preinstalling applications is a Bad Idea™ most of the time, clutter if you're feeling nice, abusing the market position otherwise.

Why would I need Chrome on my mobile? Why is it impossible to remove it?
Compressed speech doesn't take much space anyway. Narrowband AMR uses around 7kbit/s (depending on the desired quality), or ~1 megabyte for a 20 minute call. The quality isn't great, but it's adequate for most purposes, including speech recognition with reasonable accuracy.
It is perfectly natural.

Try taking some social animal like a bonobo, and sticking it in a horrible cage in solitary confinement, and maybe poke it with a cattle prod now and then for extra measure. Do you think it's going to be a perfectly happy little ape? No, it's going to become morbidly depressed or disconnected from reality. There's nothing wrong with the bonobo; the problem is with his environment. The bonobo doesn't need anti-depressants, he needs to be put back into his healthy bonobo society in the forest and not kept in a cage and zapped with a cattle prod.

Most mental health treatments are just band-aids, just like dosing a tortured ape on anti-depressants so he doesn't have to deal with the suffering he's being forced to endure.

Maybe Docker is the solution.

Your "working state" is now in an image (maybe a Docker file that checks out particular revisions of different repos), so putting everything into one giant VC repo is not necessary.

A versioned Dockerfile that says "this is how we built SystemX at version 1.5" is much better than doing it in Git, as it also covers how the underlying server was built, while a giant git repo might have every application you need at the correct version, but won't say anything about the server it is deployed to.

Back in the 1930s the rigid airships plying the Atlantic used 'pressure ridge' techniques.

During the flight the navigator would use the later weather reports to plot a course that would follow the ridges between high- and low-pressure regions, either to find a corridor of minimal wind or to ride a favorable wind like a slingshot. Without that, they couldn't hope to reach the other side if they hit a headwind.

I wish I could remember more but the only reference I've found to it is in an old library copy of 'Giants in the Sky' by Douglas Robinson.

This kind of thinking is why even as a heavily left-leaning person, I have a real problem with the current attitude of the social-justice movement.

I believe Sam is right, Trump is a reprehensible person who has done horrific things and has no right being president. But just because I find him and a large majority of his supporters as ignorant, racist, homophobic and hate-filled people doesn't mean I have any right to exclude or excommunicate them just for their beliefs.

It sets a dangerous precedent to work towards silencing and vilifying a party whom you disagree with, and while it seems fine when from your point of view it is for the greater good, what happens when someone who works to silence and vilify you claims it is for the greater good?

On top of which, it makes us no better than the ultra-conservative isolationists to vilify and excommunicate based upon belief. Don't believe me? Just look at the language and justification used by Trump and his supporters and compare it to the language that we left-leaning use against Trump and his supporters.

A true democracy means every person, no matter how repugnant, gets their voice heard. A truly diverse community means that all people, no matter their race, sexual orientation or their political beliefs deserve to be heard. And a truly free society allows for the free exchange of ideas and beliefs, what defines us as people is our ability to recognize what is morally right or wrong in those ideas and rather than vilify, try to educate.

As to the "categories", people at Sabre working with them used to say in some cases you can not even be sure if the calculation (of a ticket price - "fare") will end in finite time, so the "macro language" is apparently Turing-complete!
>You'll see a shift from business travelers

We'll see. I'm a frequent business traveler who often prefers smaller and more local when I travel on vacation and, indeed, will often favor "boutique hotels" when I'm on business; I keep an eye on hotel rewards but aren't a slave to them. But, when traveling on business, I really do want a predictable experience, 24 hour desk, etc. I'm not looking for travel experiences from the hotel perspective at all.
The problem is that laws themselves are localized. How would you form districts or states or even local government without a "local"? If you had one giant congress for all of the US that maintained humanity by having a representative per reasonable limits of human empathy (Dunbar's Number, or 150-300, and a good politician who is very empathic might reach up to 500) you would have a million and a half representatives, maximally democratic in that you only need find 300 like minded people in 320 million to support your candidate to have a representative, but completely alocal. That body would only be able to write laws that apply nationally, with no local distinctions, without bringing in the same defective mechanisms we see today pork barreling legislation into incomprehensible babel nobody reads with exceptionalism and stipulation on where and how the rules apply.

You would need a way to make local law not geopgraphically local but ideologically local. I would love to hear ideas on how you could ever manage that, but my proposition sacrifices some of the humanity potential (if you are voting STV for a local council in a town of 3,000, and have 10 members, in theory each member represents 300 people but nobody will personally know all 3,000 and thus is limited in candidate to whomever they do know, or worse, someone they take at face value like they do today). You lose quite a bit of democracy there, in that some people probably will not have a candidate they like - there are certainly more than 10 distinct political viewpoints in 3,000 people.

But I'd also think such systems would promote people to live with the like minded. If you disagree strongly with your neighbors... you are probably in a bad neighborhood for your own good and happiness. Surrounding yourself with enemies in your daily life provides a fulfilling life to few. But that goes down a deeper rabbit hole of people not considering nuance in where they life - they place work and profit ahead of all else, and will prefer a trash bin in the Bay Area over less lucrative ventures elsewhere they can have a more fulfilling life in general.
If only there were technology available to let us see the difference, let's call that the "diff", of various versions of text, knowing what changed would be a lot easier.

As Matt Drudge wrote on twitter recently, "Media CAN'T cover WikiLeaks Podesta shitstorm - because so much of it involves them! Will take a generation to recover from this corruption."
Yep! The assertion that Turing was setting a "single target for AI research" in the way you're using the phrase was clearly not what he was doing or, I hope, what I said. My intent was the opposite: to draw attention the massive range of "targets for research" which are already implicit in the original Turing Test in order to note that saying "there's still lots more to do" is hardly "moving the goalpost".

Just to link up the way you put things with the way I chose to here, his argument for how an artificial mind is possible proposes a reasonable, minimal standard which different sides can agree to---a criterion of, "well if it can do that then sure it's a mind!". And the choice of a open and unbounded conversation as the standard was brilliant because of the massive range of subcompetencies which are required for actually executing it (including, obviously, perception). Which, of course, we gradually continue to plod through in AI research.
Now I'm curious. Are we actually measuring how well people are informed in general? Is informedness declining? That would be interesting, since the web is supposed to bring us information, not take it away.

8 of those in the UK are Bank Holidays. I'm not sure about others countries because I'm from the UK, but I think other countries get more "real" holiday days than the UK.

Most companies I've worked for offer a little more than the minimum, for example I get 23 days excluding bank holidays and that generally increases by a day per year you've worked at the company or something like that.
It seems that the bulk of his complaint was not with the Surface, but with the unreliability of the whole tech stack. There are a whole myriad of communications systems set up and he said in his full comments that they often do not get the stack until hours before the game. So when there are problems it is often too late to properly test and fix everything.

How doesn't that contradict your argument? Shouldn't buying a USB sound card be considered activism?

While I'm not a fan of this and some parts of the privacy policy, I don't think think the title is fair. What seems to have changed is that DO implemented the Privacy Shield Framework, https://www.privacyshield.gov/welcome. This gives them the right to transfer data of EU-customers into the US, given that some customer rights are preserved, without having to respect every single law in every single EU-country.

However, they do reserve the right to use collected data to pass sales leads to one of our distribution partners, and that is something that sounds very broad. This is one of those things that do not seem to be explicitly forbidden by privacy shield, but totally collide with german law. I do not see how then privacy shield can be legal in Germany, even if the EU commission did enact that framework. I would expect that the german juridical system will block this later on, but well, I'm an optimist – and I might be wrong here.

Still, for the submission title to stay like this, OP should point out what exactly did change that warrants it.
I built something like this a while back. Used SES to do transactional/marketing emails with custom fields.

Why is it odd? Democracy, strictly meant as rule by the majority, voting, etc. by itself is not freedom. Majority can oppress minority in a very democratic manner. Of course, modern democracy implies many freedoms built in, so when we say "democracy" we should be aware which meaning we consider.

> You are holding the right to control private trade

Capitalism is the opposite of "right to control private trade" - it's the right to own and exchange property voluntarily, without forceful intervention. So it is part of the freedoms. Of course, it can exist in theory without representative government, though in practice such government very soon takes control over economics and thus capitalism can exist only within limits it prescribes.

Iceland Jails Top Bankers for 46 Years, Europe Outraged
The implication here is that Trump voters are working class people who have been drawn to Trump by virtue of their economic anxiety, concern about loss of their jobs via globalization or immigration, etc. The image in mind is coal or steel workers or industrial factory workers in rust belt cities that have lost their jobs. It's a seductive narrative to Republicans to try to claim the working class, and to classist Democrats to pin Trump on dumb hicks. It's also fundamentally at odds with what all the data tells us.

The first thing that's wrong about this is the assumption that the most economically disenfranchised vote at all. The least financially secure voters have some of the lowest turnout in America, with only about 20% of them voting [1]. These people fundamentally don't vote. The second problem is to try to pretend like Trump actually has a claim on the working class as his base to a greater extent than other candidates. He doesn't [2]. The median income on Trump supporters from the primaries was higher than that of Clinton supporters or Bernie supporters. He also claims a larger take of the wealthiest voters, who compose 9% of his voters in the primary, vs. Clinton and Sanders' 7% and 5% respectively. Fundamentally, his demographic skews more wealthy than the democrats.

A recent gallop survey with a large sample size shows that Trump's base don't live in areas that experience job loss due to companies moving overseas, nor do they live in areas with large immigrant populations [3]. They live in areas that are largely racially segregated (largely white). They have tradecraft jobs like HVAC repairmen, plumber, etc. and live relatively comfortably. Fundamentally though, these people have low exposure to people of color, which might explain their bigotry. Finally, surveys tend to show that Trump voters have a more negative opinion of muslims and people of color [4], which should be of no surprise.

So no, please pedal your "Trump's voters are the economically anxious white workers of America" narrative somewhere else. The truth is that Trump voters are bigots.

But the the user is more often than not, not under attack. Think back to the last ten or so security warnings you go while browsing the internet.

How many of them were a result of a pretty blatant configuration error? Things like self signed certs on personal/toy sites, T+1d expiration, subdomains using the main domain's cert (or vice versa), bad local clock, things like that that?

How many of them were ambiguous?

How many of them were unmistakably fishy?

If your breakdown is anything like mine, it'll be 9/1/0.

I speak of intent because the original person I replied to suggested that security warnings should not be dismissable. I vehemently disagree, because it is my decision to make whether accessing the information I clicked on is more or less important than the risks for the particular class of cert problem that presented itself.

Hide it behind an about:config variable or explicit cert trusting or something else, I don't care. That is still superior to telling me that I can't access something for my own protection.
