You two don't seem to realize that the whole "kenyan muslim" thing -- birtherism and secret muslim- were campaign tactics used by Hillary.

So, will you be consistent and say Hillary is a racist? (Would be consistent with her long friendships with Robert Byrd, and her "needy latinos" comment)
I think you are mistaken there: single-issue tax and supreme court voters are not a very big part of Trump's support base.

This piece in Cracked managed to explain a lot of the red state support with genuine understanding. The bottom line is, people lash out when they don't have a voice.

(I'm sorry the headline is just as stupid as all Cracked headlines are. The article is not.)
The state specifically fear-mongers in an attempt to get the powers they want.

"Shock Doctrine".

Given the influence the state has on the media, it's nearly impossible to blame the electorate. They exist in a media bubble that makes these state-sanctioned power grabs seem reasonable, even cost-free.

Flew over Goose Bay going from Denver to Reykjavik in a 757, but that was IcelandAir and not United. Beautiful!
But Trump HADN'T suggested that; and THAT is why it is immoral. He's a major party candidate supported by 40% of the American population, not Adolph Hitler.

I'm not advocating one way or the other, but I will say that I don't believe 100% code coverage guarantees that you have no issues lurking that a safer language would prevent.

Now it probably isn't worth the effort for a very well tested project like sqlite, but that doesn't validate the premise.
> ... as it will be impossible for her to win the election in 4 years as an incumbent.

It should be impossible for her to win re-election in four years. But it also should have been impossible for her to win this year. All the Republicans had to do was run somebody moderately competent. But...

Thank you for making super clear that if we disagree with your position, that we're ill-informed, dishonest, and indecent. You arrogant cunt.

> If your house's foundation (the Constitution) is crumbling, do you continue to build on top of it (laws) to keep the house from collapsing?

To me this is one of those statements that might sound superficially wise, but hides something very dark. Yes, if you take the analogy literally, it seems foolish to build on crumbling foundations. But that sort of literalism might be silly here.

What do you mean by "crumbling"? The entire project of a democratic republic lies on the collective respect for a set of rules that provide the scaffolding for all power to be granted by the people, according to the will of the people, to do what the people think is best for them. Right? That's the whole idea of government in the American sense, correct?

Now if the political class starts to ignore some of the ground rules (which is equivalent to taking power for itself), and nobody prevents this, can we claim that the democratic republic maintained its integrity? Or was democracy itself eroded? And if the answer to this last question is yes, how can one defend that the moral choice is to just accept it? Shouldn't we obviously demand strict observance of the ground rules, so that the legitimacy of those who exercise power in our name is unquestionable, before anything else? And then try to change the ground rules if the majority feels that they no longer serve us? And then strictly observe the new rules so that legitimacy is not compromised, and so on? Or am I just crazy?
yeah, its from less than an hour ago :D

I love it! First we had climate "denial" now we have "racism denial"! And if this is The New Racism, you just called me racist.

So let me get this straight you just called a Gay Black Man from the Southern USA who grew up with racists and who was pretty well positioned to speak on what Racists in the South were saying about Barack Obama after he was elected-- a liar and a racist myself-- for relating what they said.

Because it doesn't fit some BS narrative? And you link to propaganda to defend yourself?

I guess reality just doesn't matter when you've got an agenda, right?

And I'm the liar?

No, I think you're anti-intellectual and you don't care what facts disagree with your narrative.
The Ninth Amendment, my friend:

“The enumeration in the Constitution of certain rights shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.”

When the Supreme Court "creates" new rights, they are acting under the aegis of the Ninth Amendment, and simply recognizing a right that is retained by the people. For all fundamental rights to be explicitly enumerated in the Constitution is something that the Founders explicitly knew they could not do.
Because it's utter bullshit. All of the polling tells us the Trump voters skew higher in wealth and wages than Clinton voters and that hate for "the other" is largely motivating their choice. It's a narrative Republicans love because it gives them some tie to authentic "real Americans" and an argument to deflect from their pure, naked racism and neoliberal Democrats love because it allows them to pin Trump on the working class, but it's completely wrong.

See: Lytro, which has struggled to find a good use for its lightfield cameras, but might actually have something now. Lightfield cameras can extract depth information directly, which lets them synthesize stereo views with a single camera.

Duct-tape enough of them together and you can synthesize stereo views in every direction, which is pretty cool.

Even for white-collar and computer people, intellectual abilities do degrade over time too. If the task is demanding in that respect and you go below the threshold where it cannot be compensated by experience, performance will drop dramatically to the point of not being able to accomplish the tasks in a reasonable way. Of course the degradation rate and acceleration depend highly on the individual. But you cannot ask everybody to work these jobs after 65 or 70, even though these are white-collar jobs.

There were 210M licensed drivers in the US with an expected annual growth rate of 1.6% [1]. Extrapolating this data gives 231M licensed drivers in 2016. From the article: "...law enforcement in more than half of all states can search against the trove of photos stored for IDs like drivers’ licenses." Half that number and you get a number that's pretty close to the number of faces in the database.

I've got no issue with using law enforcement having access to these pictures for identity verification (i.e. checking to make sure the face on a license matches the face of the person in the database). Although automatic systems setup to identify people in crowds is a bit too Minority Report for me. I understand that I don't have any expectation to privacy when walking around in public but its a bit unnerving to have someone logging my every location and never needing a warrant, as publicly taken pictures wouldn't require one whereas cellphone tracking would.

DigitalOcean is an infrastructure company that charges for its services.

Do you expect your doctor to similarly "share your data" for "ads and promotions"? No, because he's getting paid for services rendered.
Fantastic idea. It's a profession, and actually there are rules on who can write for newspapers - it's just that the owners of newspapers piss in the soup so much with their biases that it loses any value. So maybe fewer journalists and fewer newspapers - some form of public service guarantee otherwise you canny t be a newspaper just an entertainment magazine
That ad reminds me of an ad I saw in the US in 99 or so, it depicts a man waking up super early (kissing their children who are asleep) and leaving to work, it was for (used?) Mercedes I think, same idea, work super hard to drive a nice car, I thought it was the most depressing ad I ever saw.
The only problem with printed news is the vast amount of garbage that it generates: I mean the paper itself. It's not very environmentally friendly.
It's interesting they're doing this in Rust. I would have expected them to do it in D.

> Are you wasting your money on branding when you could just install linux on any old computer and be fine.

Many developers just don't want to put up with the hassle of installing and maintaining a Linux environment. Just yesterday I've helped a friend installing Arch on a ThinkPad T440s and we almost gave up due to libinput bugs that made the trackpad pretty much unusable (fixed by a few hours of trial and error and then going back to evdev). We still have to get the Intel wifi to work decently. Apparently some glitch with power management doesn't let it achieve full throughput.

OS X (and even a clean Windows 10 install in most cases) pretty much work out of the box and let you focus on actual tasks.

Why not? Not many Earth shattering startups but being one of the largest EU economies means that Italy has many IT jobs. I spent the first half of my career in a 1000 people consulting company and a 3000 people mobile phone operator. Then I went freelancing, mostly web, and I pay my bills. There are many SME tech companies, selling their own products and services or consulting.

There is quite a difference between the South and the North, two very different economies. If you ever want to try to work Italy go to the North. Probably Milan is the safest starting point.

That said, I'm sure that the UK, Germany and France are better off than Italy, even the North of it.

AFAIK, there's not much evidence of a particular link between favorability (as opposed to approval) and reelection prospects, and even less for pre-election favorability and reelection prospects.
I'll admit I'm not very interested in speech recognition of this nature when it can't disambiguate the speaker. ie. the way Amazon Echo and other voice recognition systems can't tell the difference between a human in the room and the TV. Even when one might be clearly a female voice vs. a male.

None of the voice recognition systems on the market learn my voice distinctly from my wife's or sons, and I don't want their speech triggering things on accident (especially my son's), so I don't use any of them.

I'll be more impressed when I can restrict Amazon Echo or one of these assistants to ignoring any voice that isn't at least rather similar to my own, not merely recognizing the words I'm speaking.

My attempt to extract the key changes:

- Now collects IPs as "Personal Information" in addition to the previously-listed types

- No longer claims that cookies do not contain Personal Information, and no longer claims that cookies are not tied to any form of Personal Information in their database (I'm guessing due to the first change, but not positive and not disclosed)

- Adds language limiting the length of time they may hold Personal Information from previous "indefinitely" to current "as long as necessary according to applicable law"

- Adds language limiting the terms of a user's "explicit consent" to collection of Personal Information - previously, usage was the entirety of consent, now consent is conditional upon DigitalOcean adhering "to the applicable law".

- Hardens their commitment to not selling personal information from "will never intentionally" sell to "will not" sell

- Adds relevant language throughout to adhere with EU-US Privacy Shield Principles, including a new section on the same.

- Clarifies account deletion - even post-deletion they will retain email addresses and network logs, and possibly other Personal Information in cases where fraud or illegal activity has been determined by DigitalOcean or law enforcement.

- Clarifies how to object to collection and disclosure of Personal Information; clarifies that such an objection will not affect service-level, transactional or legal communications.

IANAL either, but hey.

> it will be impossible for her to win the election in 4 years as an incumbent.

4 years is a long time in politics. GWB was struggling in early 2001: his "compassionate conservatism" platform had been revealed for the religious fundamentalist welfare-slaughter program it always was, he was under fire for making backroom deals with energy-industry cronies and other serial polluters, was clearly stuttering in public appearances, and half the country thought he was just a rich brat who had cheated his way into the White House.

Then 9/11 happened and GWB became Fearless Leader. For a few years his power had literally no boundaries. He walked into re-election.

Hillary will need a bit of luck, but nothing that cannot be solved with a well-timed spat with North Korea or equivalent.

Looking at the numbers, all they have to do is not pick Donald Trump. Carson is at 44% (8% never heard of him and 12% report they have no opinion) right now with no advertising spend. Assuming he doesn't have some dark past we don't know about in 4 years, against Clinton it's not even a contest.
Where to even begin on an article this bad?

0. The author doesn't bother to try a sip of soylent, but feels empowered to judge its flavor based on the opinions of other reviewers. This itself is meaningless, but it's representative of the amount of original thought in the rest of the article.

1. Implying the recall is due to reckless startup culture with no evidence and ignoring recalls from traditional players.

2. Telling people their every meal must be heirloom, artisan, and slowly eaten reeks of aspirational privilege. Has the author never grabbed a burger running late to a party? Can he really afford nothing but the finest ingredients on a writer's salary?

3. Most of the arguments are generic anti industrialized food and have nothing to do with contemporary food startups. Not only is soylent a reaction against those artificially flavored and unhealthy products from long established companies, it completely ignores startups like blue apron that promote slower food.
He's NOT indirectly supporting Trump though. You shouldn't HAVE to fire everyone who disagrees with you politically in order to convince "ridgeguy" that you support your own views.
> Is it a coincidence that both countries have the most rich in the world...

It is not true that both countries have the most rich in the world[sic].

If there's one person that doesn't stand to gain from lots and lots of attention being drawn to Julian Assange, it's Hillary Clinton. Hillary Clinton doesn't want you to be researching into this Julian Assange guy whose apparently been the victim of a scheme to accuse him of accepting Russian money and chatting up infants in the Bahamas, both via the same dating website (which is obviously a totally plausible cover story that a real conspirator with near unlimited resources would definitely choose as the best avenue to set him up) but also has a very interesting website with a lot of very awkward statements linked to at least one of the candidates for the presidency.

If there's one person that stands to gain most from a reported attempt at a hatchet job on Assange that's far too silly to have any basis in truth, it's probably a person who would really, really like you to (i) visit Wikileaks.com, preferably before November 9th (ii) not believe a word of all these - actually quite possibly not true - rumours floating around about Russians being prime movers behind Wikileaks.com (iii) not think too much about that interview he just postponed again because obviously allegations of sexual impropriety against Julian Assange are just part of a fiendishly stupid conspiracy.

Funnily enough in the last couple of weeks this person has also had his internet cut by a state actor... wait for next round of stories.... not the state actor you think... wait for next round of stories.... just kidding, it was American influence all along, and had to cancel a widely publicised balcony announcement because of apparently unanticipated security concerns.

(I can actually think of a second person that might benefit from people visiting Wikileaks before November 9th and people tending to suspect that all allegations of sexual impropriety should be treated as politically motivated until proven otherwise, but I think Ockham's razor and his campaign team's preference for blunter instruments rules that one out...)

>Believing in a god is unique to the human species. No other animal does this.

Do you have some evidence of that? And even if it's true, is it the only thing that's unique to humans?

Indeed, I suspect the interesting part of "believe in god" in terms of intelligence is probably "construct narratives". Assigning a high probability to those narratives reflecting reality (i.e. believing) seems like an aside to the main complexity involved.

I've never in my life seen a human-sized seat in Coach (in terms of width). I'd love to speak with my wallet for 2x2 seating on narrowbodies, but the asking price isn't reasonable -- typically 5x the price for business class, for less than double the space.

I still can't believe we don't have a "get your own armrest class" option with minimal additional legroom for (say) 50-75% extra cost.

Orders of magnitude increases in cost will never be acceptable to the average person, or even the spending-their-own-money 5%.

I travel for a profitable business, and there's no way in hell they're paying 5x extra for us plebes to have a little extra comfort. I imagine only executives and the consultant class get away with it.
