Even more than that, if cars don't crash, they don't have to be crashworthy. BMW's concept motorcycle concept makes that point: If autonomous vehicles mean that road crashes become very rare, as other rare as, say, accidental strangulation in bed, you won't need a helmet to ride. A vehicle could be an minimal as a motorcycle and still be much safer than an S-class Mercedes.

Yes indeed, to each their own. The singular "they" can be confusing in certain cases, but that's not really a problem unique to "they". "He", "she", "it", "we", and "you" can all be confusing in relatively common circumstances.

But you're going to have to get used to the singular "they", because it seems to only be getting more common (historically, singular "they" was acceptable until the late 19th century, so the strictly plural "they" might be seen as a 20th century anomaly).
None of those are light blue :-)
In particular, the Supreme Court of the US gets to vote on what the Constitution means. And that sometimes yields non-intuitive interpretations of the plainly apparent reading of the rights amendments.

For instance, the 4th Amendment would seem to indicate that the US cannot spy on foreigners without a warrant. Only two justices had the stones to confirm that. The majority voted that interpreting the amendment as written would make it too difficult for the US to gather foreign intelligence. They literally voted that extending basic human rights to everyone would be too inconvenient.

It doesn't matter if the original intent was to protect everybody, rather than just citizens, when those tasked with judging cases may be swayed by political expedience.

It is my opinion that reading the US Constitution should be sufficient to understand the entire foundation of US law, rather than also being forced to study several centuries of judicial precedent under Anglo-American Common Law. As an American, I want the US government to get a warrant before conducting a search, on anyone, anywhere. I don't particularly care whether they are citizens, because I don't want the US agent to be an asshole when supposedly representing and defending my interests.
Agreed. I also think this is generally quite often true: what people perceive to be conspiracies are often as not instead emergent behaviors, rooted in the independent self-interested actions of a large number of individuals, acting with very loose or no coordination at all.

Conspiracies, when they happen, seem to rather often fail; those requiring secrecy are in particular prone to failure. But people act according to their own interests all the time, and when their interests are even slightly aligned the outcome can certainly resemble or even be indistinguishable from an actively-managed conspiracy.
Yes that's a pretty good approach. Just organize the configs in a directory structure on your host and mount them as volumes (along with any other necessary volumes for e.g. uploaded media). There are more advanced methods like using Consul/etcd, but only go that route if you're ready to invest a lot of time and need the benefits.
Assange is stuck in an embassy in the UK. Any normal, rational person would want to leave that situation.

Hillary has made it quite clear that would never happen however Trump has been far more supportive of Assange especially since Wikileaks has been his biggest asset.
What's the tldr? After 1000+ words I still can't see it. I wish articles said the main point in the beginning.
There's a big problem that a basic income doesn't solve, which is the lack of a job. From the article:

> Some experts suspect that frequent use of painkillers is a result of being out of work, because people who have no job prospects are more likely to be depressed, become addicted to drugs and alcohol and have other mental health problems.

A job is more than a way to earn money. Jobs help people structure their lives and live with a sense of purpose.
I use the same open core model with Sidekiq http://sidekiq.org and it's working incredibly well.

I can't be the only one that sees the delicious irony here. People are calling for a purge based on political opinions... in the name of diversity!

gregschlom (responding to the below, thread is now locked):

The image I like to remember is the victorious Ulysses S. Grant telling the defeated Robert E. Lee and his officers to keep their horses, keep their sidearms, and go home to their families.

We have vicious disagreements in this country over politics. We are grappling with very challenging issues, such how to handle immigration from parts of the world where majorities of people support death for apostasy and homosexuality, and honor killings of disobedient women.

We fight these battles in the political arena, and keep our respect for each other as citizens who want the best for their country. Purges have no place in a free society.

I don't think a single person has accused Peter Thiel of treating them unfairly.
If "you" here is one person and "your app" is one app, then yes, why do you need a container. If "you" is 200 developers, and "your app" is 75 different applications written in Java, Java plus native libs, .NET, python, the other python, R, scala, NodeJS, and various C libraries, then docker containers, and more importantly images, are about as ideal as it gets. We're running Mesos so we don't have to use docker to get containers, but packaging up the products as images is a significant advantage.

I would remind you that the chief claim in US v. Windsor was about the tax implications of a lesbian wedding not recognized at the federal level, which incurred a higher estate tax penalty (to the tune of ~$380,000) which is unconstitutional under the 14th.

That seems exactly like something that Peter Thiel probably cares about if he ever chooses to marry.

To be fair, organized voter intimidation by one of the major parties isn't unheard of; Trump is mostly just unique in doing himself what would usually happen deniably at a lower level of the organization (which may or may not be related to the fact that Trump lacks most of the lower-level organization a major party candidate would usually establish.)
They were tweeted just before announcing the blackout. My guess is that when the blackout happened they tweeted the pre-comitment as soon as they could just in case.

They are not the keys because nothing that terrible happened yet. All they say is that they have files on those topics, and if someone in the future releases keys to some files, and those decrypted files' signature is as it says on the tweet, then they must come from Wikileaks, since they posted that signature.

I truly believe Trump is a populist reformer, trying to help the Everyman.

But keep in mind that even though the Populares were nominally "for the people", they only used them for their own ends. They were very much as political as the Optimates.

It's a sad state of affairs when a relative madman looks like a saner alternative to a truly sick and twisted authoritarian war-hawk.

But perhaps a madman is needed to tear down this malfunctioning and corrupt system where a few elites benefit at the expense of the common man.

I am Gay. Hillary Clinton is on the record her entire career as opposing gay marriage. Trump, when questioned what he would do if he found out an employee was gay said "it makes no difference".

As far as I'm concerned, the Clintons (Bill signed the "Defense of Marriage Act" in the first place) are the anti-gay ones (and add Obama to that too)

Not all of us are gullible to the blatant pandering and fear mongering democrats engage in.

While during the Bush years there was some stupid asinine anti-gay rhetoric from Bush, nothing was even attempted.

But it was the Clintons who banned gay marriage. That's all when I stopped being a democrat.
To be fair, it also presupposes that Assange has such an understanding.

How's this thing incriminating or considered wrongdoing?

This is like in football (soccer) where it's against the rules to grab your opponent inside the box when they're taking a free kick on your goal but everyone is doing it anyway, it becomes pointless to complain and moan about it. The same goes for hand-checking in basketball and I'm sure you could find analogies in American football as well.
If you read Dylan Matthews' investigation [1] a major takeaway is that the foundation's impact comes primarily from influencing corporations and governments. For example, to make AIDS drugs cheaper they convinced the manufacturers to accept much lower prices in exchange for much larger volume, and they convinced governments to make very large orders.

If the foundation were trying to fight AIDS by directly funding the distribution of treatments the numbers in the report would be pretty bad, but that's not the picture here.

Did you read the comment I responded to? He was stating that English speakers would use "red" interchangeably, near invariably.

They don't. "Red" doesn't exist as a concept except abstractly. Words like "scarlet" and "teal" have been used since middle English to describe colors.

In other words: it's not that English works the way he described (it doesn't), but instead the inverse: Hungarian doesn't have an equivalent for "red".

Georgia attacked first, after the US-sponsored 'Rose Revolution', and the US also sponsored 2 'revolutions' in Ukraine. Crimea was hardly invaded, it was a region which had tried in the past to separate from Ukraine.

Again, both actions you cite were reactions to US meddling in the region in the first place.

The fact Trump hasn't threatened any new invasions is already an improvement.

PS. Do you know who Mikheil Saakashvili is, what he did, where he is now, and why he's exiled from his own country? And have you seen Victor Yushchenko's face recently, what it looks like? The answers to both of these questions give a lot of insight into US actions in the region.

Define "supporter". Politics is dirty, and often involves doing business with not-nice people in order to achieve goals. That doesn't mean you support them, just tolerate them. I'm not saying this is a good thing, but this how the world works.

It's hardly as if Trump is any different, when you look at his attitude towards Russia, and that's before he's even gotten any political power.

About the only way to avoid this would be to elect an entirely isolationist President who refuses to talk to the outside world, which isn't really an option these days.
Did Apple ever really have a "titanic plan to take on Detroit?" There's no indication that they even built a prototype chassis. This may just be mis-reporting of autonomous vehicle R&D.

Apple's strength in automatic driving should be the development of better, and better-looking, sensors. Apple does electronics and small hardware well. Those Velodyne LIDAR things are rotating kludges, look awful, and cost way too much.
There are better approaches known. (I'm a fan of the Advanced Scientific Concepts LIDAR, which works great but costs too much because it's made by PhD physicists in Santa Barbara.) Existing automotive radars are dumber than they could be. Those are straightforward engineering problems that Apple could solve.

Building cars is a low-margin business. If Apple became a successful car company, their stock would decline.
Containers are like that as well. You can have a container for your application, that doesn't really do anything unless you can connect to your database which runs in another container.

I think the second half of your comment is aligned with the second half of mine, so I will just reply to the first half of your comment.

> OP's statement is unambiguously saying that exclusion on
> the basis of political ideology is, in any form, wrong.

There is exclusion, and there is exclusion. The essay does not discuss stripping Mr. Thiel of his citizenship. It discusses doing business with Mr. Thiel, and the claim is that not doing business with Mr. Thiel on account of his support for Mr. Trump is a form of exclusion, and by your summary, that is wrong.

There is no more extreme position than claiming that all forms of "political ideology" are equally valid, and that all forms of "exclusion" are wrong.

Some people's political ideology calls for the murder of innocent civilians. I gladly refuse to do business with them, and I reject the notion that it is wrong to exclude them.

Likewise, as I pointed out, not all forms of exclusion are equivalent. If we say that all forms of exclusion are wrong, you rob me of my free will. You force me to buy advertising from Reddit or Stormfront. You demand that I work for Mr. Thiel. Or to sell my products to the RNC... Whether I want to or not.

This is the exact same argument as the one for religious freedom. Must a baker bake a cake for a lesbian couple? If so, we deprive the baker of their freedom of choice. If not, we deprive the couple of equal treatment.

We cannot grant one right without depriving somebody else of another. So in the end, we have to apply some judgment, we have to pick some line and say that things on far on this side are wrong, things far on that side are right, and things close to the line are vexing questions that must be debated.

I personally can accept arguments that in this particular case, it is ok to do business with Mr. Thiel, or arguments that in this particular case that it is not.

But the unambiguous argument that all forms of political ideology must be protected is not one I support, and nor is the one that all forms of exclusion are unambiguously wrong.
People are also pretty enamored lately with the idea of the perfect "Code of Conduct" for their conferences.

I beg to differ.

In a two horse race, throwing stones in front of one horse has an obvious and calculated effect.

There was a time when I believed in Wikileaks.

But collusion, orchestrated or not, with Putin and Trump crosses a clear line.

When you sell your services or align your actions with fascists, you are not longer serving the public interest, merely your own.

Let's not equivocate. Trump is an opportunistic fascist, apparently with aspirations to become America's analog to Putin the authoritarian fascist thug.

The cynic in me wonders what Putin has on Assange.

Not a replacement for good writing, but there is a Soyuz capsule in the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum in NYC.

- Going to space is really, really difficult and expensive if this scary '60s tin can is still the best real-world tool we have.
