Improvements to the fairness of elections won't come from those who benefit from the status quo, it'll come from those at the grassroots level. Boosting the electoral performance of third party candidates builds confidence that grassroots movements can make a significant political impact.

As for whether Trump or Clinton would actively block fair elections, that wouldn't surprise me, but I wouldn't put it past either of them (Trump's already made it clear he wants to make it easier to manipulate the press, and Clinton was clearly willing to engage in underhand tactics to get the Democratic nomination). If you're of the same mindset then it makes no sense to vote for either of them, as it appears neither are interested in engaging in fair elections.

California's coastal laws and how they are practiced are no secret: if you want to develop anything in proximity to the coast, you are going to open up public access. Opening access is a one-way door; once opened, there will be no closing or reducing access.

Khosla's behavior in this matter is bizarre and entitled. He appears to me, a third-party observer, to act as if he believes money can buy the ability to do anything he wants by bullying others in court to obtain special privileges. Maybe he doesn't really think like that, but his behavior sends that message loud and clear.

Worse, even a cursory examination of established Case Law should have shown him the utter futility of even trying. He appears not to have learned the lessons of King Canute: some things literally cannot be accomplished.

I wouldn't be surprised if software engineering tends to attract perfectionists. Writing code requires a very high level of specificity - you have to think about all the ways that your code might not be perfect or there will inevitably be bugs. Computers are not particularly good at dealing with underspecified goals.
That's a fair point, I can't say I'm as tuned into the drama as tightly as I should (or shouldn't, for my mental sanity?) be. I was more addressing the general case of your question; can his local actions of seeming uniformly opposing one party occur out of any incentive other than being in the pocket of that party, and additionally your statement re: zero-sum-game given that being an argument I find frustrating. Taking into account broader context should adjust your prior, for sure.

One-time only service: for-all humans h, i: h can-marry i; has never been true. Marriage is not an individual human right, it never was. It's a dyadic operation, conjugal. The issue was (pre-Obergefell) US State (as in US Federal System) rule of law.

If you don't accept this, and continue to insist any human can marry (or should be able to marry) any other human, you're making things up that are not reflected in real legal or philosophical systems. Or you are confused.

One thing I have found with haptics is that like VR, it can make you very sick. It has been shown that haptics can cause pretty nasty cases of vertigo[0]. In this study, after using a haptics device for 10 minutes the user started experiencing vertigo which lasted several hours, with mild symptoms persisting for several days.

I have noticed many of the same effects using the novint falcon haptic controller. It almost feels as if your hand is being pushed on when in fact it is not.

There are literally multiple hundreds of 'media-related' emails and in some cases, the campaign wrote the articles and gave them to reporters to print. So, good on ou for finding one of those hundreds who went on record to clarify and defend their agreement with the Clinton campaign, but you have hundreds more to go.
Ah, the Carlin theory of voting[1].

> On the off chance that the Republican party could finally destroy itself by choosing an even more unsuitable candidate next time around, I want the Libertarian Party to be strong enough to take its place.

Don't kid yourself about some other party ever taking the place of the Democrats or Republicans. The best you can hope for is that the libertarians gain more influence than they currently have through the larger Republican party consuming them. Whether you view this as a needed shift in the right direction for the Republicans or not enough of a shift and at the cost of any power the libertarians had likely depends on how far you lean libertarian. Same with the Democrats and Green Party.

Our two party system hasn't survived for as long as it has because each party innately catered to it's constituents needs from the beginning. Each party has shifted greatly over time to track what their constituents cared about.

> Having lived in Chicago, I have had enough of oily, corrupt Democrats in power. And having lived in the South, I have also had enough of smarmy, bigoted, hypocritical Republicans in power. ... They are never going to die out if people keep voting for them and sending them money!

They are never going to die, period. But that's okay. They don't need to die, they just need to change, and there's plenty of precedent for that.

Not believing in climate change is relevant to thinking about whether someone is likely to be a trustworthy source because not believing in c.c. means we should be skeptical of that person's writing and conclusions. It's equivalent to believing the world is 8000 years old, or evolution doesn't exist, or jesus rode on dinosaurs.

It doesn't have anything to do with liberal or conservative. It has to do with being educated and drawing reasonable conclusions about the world.
This public/private dichotomy reminds me sharply of a novel I read at one of those late teen-age formative periods, For Us, the Living[1], by Heinlein. In that story, it was a norm that you could declare "private sphere", and journalists et al would have to ignore the ensuing events until going "public" again. In that world, it had basically put the papparatzi out of work. There are some other gems in there, like a future law where if a country was to go to war, it was put to a popular vote, and if the measure passed, those who voted for war were moved to the head of the draft list.

I'm not sure whether everyone should be banned or required to read Heinlein in high school...

I remember how bound to philosophy I was in high school. Every new concept was amazing and gave me strength. It's been years since I've been moved by anything I've read and I don't know why, but it's not for a lack of trying. I also don't think it's a case of "oh you're young" because there's only so much literature out there, and with the internet + basic life trivialities mostly optimized and handled, the amount of time to take in information is an order of magnitude larger than past generations.

Just way too much information way too quickly.

This may be pedantic, but I wouldn't say DF is content rich exactly. Dwarf Fortress (and similar games, like Banished and RimWorld) shine because you can execute an infinitely different number of stories/scenarios/playthroughs without changing any the fundamental systems of the game. The content there is emergent from the actual gritty gameplay mechanics (rather than the reverse, where the mechanics exist solely to propel an overarching plot).
Out of curiosity, which libraries does your team use?

Assange is an Anarchist who was to end America's constant war with the rest of the world. Trump and Clinton are the last people he would want to see in the Whitehouse. You know who make perfect sense for Assange to Support? Gary Johnson, the only anti-war candidate and Libertarian. But continue on with your mental gymnastics to turn the anti-war Assange into a capitalist, warhawk republican.

This headline doesn't include the most important information. Russ was part of the big bang in deep learning about 10 years ago when he was Geoff Hinton's student. His name is on the 2006 papers about RBMs.[0] CMU is a great school, but Russ is not a random guy from CMU. He's a deep learning veteran who's done a lot of important work, which makes this a huge hire for Apple. They were lacking a marquee name for their AI team, and now they have it, and that's probably going to accelerate their recruiting and product development.

> Are you like me and want to go into R&D?

An intro in each of the basic sciences is indispensable for a career in R&D.

Taking only 5 math courses (3 calc + discrete + linear?) is likely woefully inadequate, unless they're all taught very well or you plan to teach yourself a bunch more math. In fact, you should take abstract algebra, probability, and as many analysis courses as you can while you have the time. In either case not sure what you're complaining about.

The humanities courses are a good place to practice your writing and argumentation; those skills are transferable to negotiation of every sort.

Also, you could've knocked a bunch of those required courses with AP/IB credits in high school (2 history courses, 1 or 2 english, intro bio/chem/phys (3), intro CS (1), calc (1-2) = 7-10 courses).
i admire your boldness but this is probably going to be a dead project soon. Maybe make a quick buck while you can?

Edit: because reverse engineering their api is also against their guidelines. Just because you don't use their official api, doesn't mean you don't have to adhere to their rules.
Le sigh, multicast. A great example where software engineering crosses over to the physical realms.

When a router receives a packet destined for a multicast group and that router has multiple destinations for that pocket, it must store that packet in memory until the last interface associated with that group can be written to. On networks which aren't heavily used that's not problem. Once you start utiziling your network however, the routers will be busy storing packets and their sensible-for-simple-cases buffers will become overwhelmed and you've got a multicast storm on your hands.

Great on paper, even works in test setups. Call me when you're running your kit to the limits, and I'll let you know you have a multicast problem.
Well if you are going to do that you may as well give them a reward every 10th planet they reach.
If someone could take an exact copy of my family home and live in it somewhere else, leaving me happy to live in my own home, then ABSOLUTELY!

I realize that's not what you meant, but acting as though Mickey Mouse becoming public domain will "take away" from us, in the same way giving away the house you live in will "take away" your home is at best a total fallacy.
>I have asked no less than 10 people why they listen to talk radio when it is clearly propaganda. The response is strangely always almost verbatim "I like to stay informed".

Speaking of procedurally generated platformers, there's Cloudberry Kingdom.

I can see how you could experience remix boredom in Cloudberry Kingdom. However, every so often it produces novel gameplay that actually feels new. And it's so good at tuning the difficulty to gradually escalate that it manages to achieve flow quite effectively.
No, the better question is; Should someone else be able to build a knock-off of your home?

IP is not the same as physical property. Disney isn't forced to give away they artwork they've made internally. Mickey Mouse as IP, i.e. as a concept, is currently not allowed to be reproduced.

If we're going to debate property rights, it's important to have the context and the property properly defined. Many people can rightfully ask if land should be allowed to be held by any single entity for infinite time, but again, that's not the question here.
It's like GHz. Pretty soon people will figure out that this number is not useful to compare different foundries, or even members of different families from the same company. You just have to test what it can do.
I'd take the first option. Look at the shitshow that's been unleashed by continuing to vote for the lesser of two evils. We'll only stop things getting worse by making politicians earn our votes, rather than winning by default by being slightly more palatable than the other candidate. Voting with your conscience means you want to hold your politicians to higher standards, and whilst that might not have an immediate impact, it is the type of action that can make a noticeable difference over time.
Reminds me of that Groucho Marx joke about never attending a club that would have him as a member.
The problem is that while potentially more immersive, VR is more exclusionary. By definition it's not an experience that shares well with meatspace. So it's easy to cut off and be cut off from other people in the same room. That's fine for a teenager in their room but not so much someone living with a significant other or children.

It would be easier to list her positions I don't like. Off the top of my head only the Patriot act and Snowden come to mind. Keep in mind that I'm fiercely pragmatic, and so things that I would like to happen in a perfect world I don't hold as a political position because of how unlikely it is to happen.

As far as Bernie goes, some of his stated positions seemed to be a little too disconnected from reality. Like his medicare for all plan and his free college plan weren't concrete enough to be taken seriously by the public at large.

Not quite what happened, Intel got stuck itself in several anti-trust quagmires because of their attempts to rescind the x86 license that IBM forced Intel to give to AMD when the 8088 was selected for the original IBM PC.

Intel did everything it could to avoid keeping AMD in the game, including paying Dell off to not use AMD chips.

I don't recall ever hearing about Intel investing in AMD, maybe you're thinking of the $1.25 billion settlement Intel had to pay AMD for various lawsuits Intel was in danger of losing and potentially having to pay triple damages.
The question is moot for the mobile market, since Intel don't fab a competitor to Snapdragon 400/600/800 with the same power/performance categories.
I apologize. I don't typically submit to this kind of discussion myself, but ended up committing the same crime as the person I was responding to.
I'll admit that I'm far enough out of my depth that I can't compete with the level of detail your opinion, informed by your professional experience, espouses. So I'll have to concede that there are clearly things I don't know about bias in journalism and thank you for an excellent distraction :-)
I agree. When I read this there was a banner on the side showing selected Trump quotes, and the first story at the bottom was about those scary clowns. I like how they point out politicians and the right wing media will use fear, but conveniently ignore the possibility of left wing media using such tactics, while other articles linked to on the same page use such tactics.
It speaks to the clusterfuck that NMS became that this detailed blog post is written by a fan reverse-engineering the code/content, rather than someone from Hello Games doing a post-mortem on Gamasutra who can speak with more authority. I'm not knocking the author's attempt at reverse-engineering -- in fact, it's awesome on a geek level because reverse-engineering is an additional technical hoop to understanding a game's core. It's just that when a game has as much hype and sales as NMS does, usually the creators would be the ones to do a technical post about how clever they were.

But the mention of the diplodocus is just one example of how much of a clusterfuck NMS is: The diplodocus and other beautiful dinosaurs were part of the E3 demo that was presented to fans as NMS's procedural code in action. And, as the author notes, it doesn't appear to be something that actually was procedurally generated, but was hand-designed to make the E3 demo footage look good (and, to Hello Games's shame, they used this footage as the official advertising for NMS, even after release).

Here's one of the canonical parodies of the shady shit Hello Games pulled: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RvAwB7ogkik

That is not true. It was said that you could run into other players and interact with them in real time, but that it would be exceedingly rare due to the size of the galaxy. Well, happened on day 1 and, nope, not true.

Now it was never supposed to have a large focus on multiplayer, but they also mentioned things like a galactic economy, big space battles, a faction system... all BS.

> Clinton says different things in public than she does to her friends. She also flip flops. This is not trustworthy.

> Trump is unpleasant, but at least he talks straight.

You seem to imply that since Trump "talks straight", he doesn't flip-flop?

If that's what you're implying, it couldn't be more inaccurate; he has sharply contradicted himself countless times, straight-up denying things he's documented as saying (on TV, Twitter, etc.)
This is addressed: "Yes, this is a selfish and transactional view of relationships. But that's the point of this whole post: If you can't justify being nice for the sake of others, at least be nice for the sake of yourself."
Like you said, that was surprisingly tough to donate with. I had to make a donation by sending money via Square Cash to $OSTIF.
Some people only understand the language of anger. It really depends on the individual. Some people understand you when you're acting calmly 100% of the time. Others need to be reminded that what they're doing actually bothers you and the only way to get through to them and applying pressure is being loud and angry. But those are usually the people you souldn't be doing business with anyway.
To be fair, the article is up front about that.

But that's the point of this whole post: If you can't justify being nice for the sake of others, at least be nice for the sake of yourself.
Simple. Wikileaks can only leak what others have hacked and submitted to them. Someone submitted a treasure-trove on Clinton and DNC. As soon as someone hacks the RNC and Trump (though Trump does not use email at-all, ever) and submits the result of that hack to leak to Wikileaks, they will be published.

Not for nothing, but "the rest of the World" is pretty tired of America being a bully and starting never-ending wars. It is really not that spectacular that an anti-war person like Assange doesn't want the Presidency to go to Clinton or Trump, but of whom want more war and are not even limiting themselves to just 'the middle east' anymore. It is far more likely that Assange wants the only anti-war candidate in office - Gary Johnson.
Hah, yes! Except it's more directly influenced (creating the recipes and what pickaxes can mine which ores) than the indirect influence on the procgen world by defining ore distributions.
