I find it interesting that you went to "banning speech". I don't equate anything the parent said with wanting to ban speech. Further I thought the comparison to Hitler was thought provoking as many German intellectuals looked the other way when Hitler and began instituting their policies. The "First they came.."[1] poem comes to mind.

"Border control" does arguably use the ordinary meaning of control: they control the border by checking passports.

But check also has an interesting etymology. Its many meanings include a type of payment note (aka "cheque"), to obstruct ("check somebody's progress", "body check"), to verify, to inspect; also checker (divide into small squares) and exchequer (the UK treasury)... all come from the Persian word shah, meaning king, through chess-related metaphors. (Also the word chess itself)

I only think that it's an issue when someone is working harder than their tolerance. I agree that management should take a role in the general welfare of their team, but in this case it seems like the poster is mostly concerned about someone making them look bad.
I haven't looked into this myself, but your definition of "libertarian" fits exactly with my concept of an ideal government: one that's sole purpose is to protect the freedoms and dignities of all those within its jurisdiction, and within that framework, allowing everything else to be more or less self-determined, so long as the freedoms and dignity of all those within it are not harmed.
I think Graham's point is sound. How is making a donation not an instance of political expression?
It's the extreme fanboyism there! Wrapping every component that has `if` attribute with an `if` statement should not result into that:

<div *if={cond1 && cond2}>
<div>foo</div>
</div>

// results to
if (cond1 && cond2) {
return React.createElement('div', null,
React.createElement('div', null, 'foo')
);
}

I'm not sure why this is bad? Because it's looking like Angular?!!

The Titanic's sister ship (the Brittanic) was torpedoed during WW1 and sunk. However, the lesson of the Titanic (too few lifeboats) had been learnt, and only 26 people died.

I don't know what point you are trying to make - yes, I agree that history never repeats, but lessons can be learnt from it, and they can be quantified and they can be useful.

Peter Thiel Shows Us There's a Difference Between Gay Sex and Gay
I'll just repost an old comment, advocating that the limit is: is it speech and ideas? Then do not fire.

"I fundamentally disagree with you about this very important issue, and we should still find a way to cooperate" is a crucial idea, hard won and, as we are seeing, easily lost. It underpins multi-religious societies, working democracies, and in general, any group of people that need to do something. Unfortunately, right now we have groups of people that say the polar oposite: "It is good and moral to shun people who disagree with X".

I totally agree with marriage equality. But I think it can be (and mostly was) won on dialogue, not shunning. And I will always be against the shunners (though I hope not to shun them :P).

btw, all I just said applies just as well to klanspeople/nazis: Are they harming the employees? No? Are they aligned with the mission? Them keep them. And tell them they are stupid over a beer. Talk the shit out, and fight their stupid ideas in the right places. Do not allow political disagreement, even of the most grievous kind, to cut oportunities for dialogue and cooperation.
Executive Order – Coordinating Efforts to Prepare the Nation for Space Weather
Peter Higgs published about 5 scientific papers after his Nobel-winning work in 1964 until his retirement in 1996, none of which were particularly impressive. I think this is below any reasonable standards, not just below contemporary academic standards. Therefore, barring special circumstances like an exemplary teaching record, in my opinion Edinburgh University would have been right to sack him and replace him with a more productive person. In short: I don't think that Higgs nearly getting sacked is an accurate indication that academia has too much of a 'publish or perish' culture.

How many innocent people are trump responsible for being killed vs hillary? You are right its not black and white which is exactly what i showed. Trump havent troops in war or approved airstrikrs killing innocent people. I am all too aware of the grayness of politics you are not given you call trump black. No one is we are humans and by definition gray. Calling someone black is exactly sign of the opposite ability you claim to hold high.
I've enjoyed reading the well thought out arguments on this page. So, where is a better political forum? I've tired of reddit as the noise/signal ratio has grown intolerable.
I wonder what a world full of people who proactively "fuck shit up" would look like.
At least Clinton has a track record. Trump is completely unpredictable. Last month he said that he would order US ships to attack Iranian vessels if they approach:

"And by the way, with Iran, when they circle our beautiful destroyers with their little boats and they make gestures that our people -- that they shouldn't be allowed to make, they will be shot out of the water."

http://www.cnn.com/2016/09/09/politics/donald-trump-iran/

That would be an abrupt act of war between the two countries, and on a completely different level than the NATO intervention in Libya which was based on a UN Security Council resolution.

As opposed to black identity politics? Or female identity politics? Would you feel better if the context was a place like South Africa where the white minority is actively being persecuted/discriminated against? Would that make white identity politics okay in your book?

>"I just find this impossible to reconcile with his support for Trump, the most authoritarian presidential candidate in a very long time and possibly ever."

I'm not an American, but I'm a libertarian and I definitely support Donald Trump. He represents an active regression back to a mean, rather than further towards the socialist-left. That is why I think it'll be better for him to be president, rather than someone like Hillary or Obama, or even Gary Johnson.

It is amusing that you think Bill Clinton actually received any of that money. Bill Clinton started the foundation for aids relief in Africa. None of the Clintons draw any salary from the foundation:

So any donation would have gone to aids drugs for kids in Africa. Haven't you ever told anyone "don't get me anything, just donate to charity"?

Like Matt said, there was no benefit to the Saudi's either. They have long been allies of the US and that means visiting the state department is a regular thing.

It looks good as a conspiracy on infowars, but the truth is not particularly scandalous.

It is sad that when a conspiracy theory doesn't stick beyond a fringe group that lack of traction is used to fuel the claim "See! The media is in on it too!". Rather than "oh, multiple Republican led investigations found nothing -- looks like that was wishful thinking"
>offering to make a screenshot of the entire page

Did you even try it? Your selection can exceed the size of the window, up to the entire page if you want.

There's also the "screenshot" command that's been available in the Developer Toolbar for years now, which will save a fullpage local screenshot.
We'll have some full screen options in the next release: https://github.com/mozilla-services/pageshot/issues/1613

In an earlier version of Page Shot we took a capture of the DOM at the same time as the screenshot, and so the screenshot meant "look at this" while we had an archival version of the page as the full context. Unfortunately the DOM capture didn't make it into the first release, and so we no longer have that context; we'll probably bring it back in the future, but maybe not as a combined product.
I am critiquing the double standards.

Isn't this essentially IPFS plus namecoin-with-bidding? That's what I got from the reddit AMA. I'm not sure how it addresses storage.

Also, just trying to be constructive here, but you guys really need to work on branding. The AMA went about as poorly as it possibly could have because you didn't have good presentation. Here's how you have to pitch the whole "bidding for URLs" thing; "There are permanent, long-form URLs like on YouTube. But people can bid on short-form URLs if they want to as well. You have to bid on them so squatters can't take them all over. If someone outbids you, you get your money back. We make no money from this." Boom, every inane reddit comment about "corporations will buy all the video links, man!" shut down.

The trade-off isn't about the dangers of not refactoring v.s. refactoring. The trade-off is about time plus the aspect this article hammers, which is lack of knowledge about the future--i.e. if you made a multi-purpose multi-client framework to start with you might still be building things and rewriting them to fit them into even more unforeseen situations instead of having live code running for 100 clients.

Wonderful service! How do you keep it accurate and updated? The problem I have seen with other similar services is that they aren't accurate. They will say it's on Netflix or Amazon Prime or Hulu when it's not.

Also, maybe you could add Funimation as one of the services?

This is an important question. Maybe universities could play a key role as far as hosting is concerned. Anyhow, imo this question is not the most pressing one. If there is a will, there is a way. However, there is no will! The average person is totally okay with storing their correspondence on fb or google servers.

Some energy should be spend on making people want a decentralized web. Better privacy might be nice but even Snowden's revelations couldn't change people's mind.
So besides privacy, what additional value would a decentralized web bring to the average person?
This is a great question. I suspect they use hard-coded stuff deep in the math kernel for efficiency. I remember the Mathematica book goes into detail on this, but I don't recall the specifics.

Android kernels are built differently from PC kernels because unlike a PC where you might upgrade the motherboard, or add/remove hardware that would change what kernel modules are needed (and still expect the PC to boot), a cell phone almost never changes its hardware configuration after installation. If the phone is a Wombat 4s, it'll have X, Y, and Z hardware components and these will never ever change. If it's a Foobar 8000, it'll have X, Y, and Q, and there might be two different sizes of W which aren't even something that requires a driver and those will never change either. Including all the modules that might be present on any device compatible with the same CPU architecture would mean wildly more than 90% of the space used by the kernel/drivers would be completely and utterly wasted (and theres at least four more types of resources that would also be wasted that come to mind). This is not a thing one does with a device expected to run as long as it possibly can with a very limited supply of power and less RAM than pretty much any desktop machine you'd care to use.
Mathematica's value is in the library, not the language. Wolfram etc put a ton of effort into making it do a good job on arbitrary problems. See the Mathematica book for me detail- for example, the root finding stuff is really neat.
Well yes, but with Trump you get Eric Cartman come to life: all the problems of Clinton, plus vulgarity, plus neo-Nazism.
> I look at it as parallel to requiring circuit breakers rather than fuses in new residential construction and renovation.

Since it's a charging point, wouldn't it be more similar to "each bedroom should have at least N power sockets per square meter"? I believe a rule like that already exists, requiring something like "at least N electric vehicle charging sockets per square meter of garage" sounds like a natural extension of it.

That said, I'd like to read that draft directive, and see what it actually says.

We're not banning or manipulating speech, we're simply labeling what Trump said. It's demagoguery.

And no, your attempt to turn the tables and characterize the parent comment as Hitlerish is not convincing (it's obviously utter bullshit). But, it does actually undermine your original argument that it's bad to compare things to Hitler. If it's so unfair, then why are you doing it?
It probably isn't if you're coming at the material for the first time, or after a long break. I took a 15-week course in Linear Algebra a few months ago, and we only covered about half the book in that time. I spent just about every weekend and evening doing those exercises. It's very time consuming.

However, if you gave me my old College Algebra book, I might be able to skim through it in a month of weekends and refresh myself on most of it, because I've used that stuff a lot in various jobs. Same goes for a lot of (but by no means all) programming books. I'm immersed in that stuff daily, so I can get through it pretty quickly.
The web is decentralized. The data and the money is not. As long as it stays that way (and it probably will) changing some protocols doesn't make a big difference.

Really, someone tell me what is centralized about the web right now and we can figure out together that this thing actually IS decentralized, it's just that money forces people, companies and govs to work together and keep more of the power in fewer hands.

He's saying he doesn't want to disenfranchise women or any particular class, he wants to disenfranchise everybody. He's framing the democratic political process as something that doesn't get anywhere and something that gets in the way of progress, so he prefers authoritarian power over the checks and balances of a democratic political system.

> Of the poll’s 14 weeks so far, there were three times when removing that weight switched the result from a Trump lead to a Clinton lead. Generally, the shift was between one and two percentage points...Some people have ignored the margin of error in order to make a political point, but there’s not much we can do about that.

That seems highly disingenuous a response.
Another, slightly unconventional way (which is how I learned English as a native Croatian speaker), is to find an online community about something you really enjoy.

For me it was the combination of Harry Potter and online roleplaying[1]. I know that English isn't quite the same as other languages as it's quite widespread, but I believe it's possible to do the same for other languages.

I also improved my Spanish a little through a website called lang-8.com, but I am not sure how active its community is these days; when I joined it was new and the community was relatively small. I stopped using it since I lacked the time and motivation to pursue Spanish more vigorously.

[1]: As a side-note, I met my best friend this way; I was 13, she was 11 when we met. She'd would always go out of her way to help me with my English and would help me prepare for a roleplay and also analyse it afterwards, pointing out all the mistakes and potential improvements, taught me colloquialisms, etc. Although, everyone would help from time to time, too. So, meeting the right people/community also matters.

you can use the Mathematica Kernel C API to make any language interface with mathematica (I did this with Python a long time ago). This typically involves the scripting langauge (or compiled language) invoking Mathematica functions, I;'m not 100% if Mathematica can then call back into Haskell or other language functions via a callback.
You have touched on an exposed nerve, to eschew such a fundamental past-time for many. The lack of prosody in the comm allows readers to fill the void of inflection to match their expectations, don't take it personal. Just don't say 'I don't watch TV' or there may be pitchforks & ropes in your future.
When just two people are in the room, you won't find it possible to "prove" anything.

But there is, of course, no reason to doubt the honesty of the women involved. Why wouldn't you trust them?
In Spanish we have plenty of these false anglicisms, and we seem to be obsessed with the "-ing" English ending:

un smoking (lately adapted the ortography to "esmoquin") -> a tuxedo

un parking -> a garage, car park

hacer footing -> to do jogging

hacer zapping -> to channel hop (when viewing TV)

tuning -> customizing/accesorizing cars

un lifting -> a facelift

Also some hybrid anglicisms:

hacer puenting -> to bungee jump (from Spanish "puente", bridge)

hacer balconing -> to jump from a balcony, typically to a swimming pool (from Spanish "balcón", balcony).

And of course, some "true" anglicisms like catering, casting, camping, etc.
Conditional rendering is all I really hurt for. But I would prefer not having a 2.0 at all if it wasn't fully backwards compatible.

To me:

1. If there is a direct correlation between hours worked and productivity for the team, then compensation is not relative.

2. To the degree that emails late at night is cast as toxic office politics, so are attempts to normalize the productive efforts of the coworker.

3. Pathologizing a coworker as 'workaholic' delegitmates the person and their values. It tends to provide an excuse for treating the individual poorly 'for their own good' rather than accepting the individual as what they are: a hard worker.
> you might end up doing "normal science"

Note that Kuhn doesn't think that normal science is bad in general. Normal science - incremental, systematic research within a scientific community with clear, well-defined rules and solution methods - is necessary and worthwhile, IF you have a good paradigm. When Scott Aaronson publishes a new proof about some obscure or exotic quantum computational complexity class, that is valuable normal science. When the Intel researchers in the 80s or 90s came up with the umpteenth optimization trick that enabled next year's scheduled Moore's Law microprocessor speed doubling, that is valuable normal science.

The problem comes when researchers try to do normal science without a good paradigm, either because they never had one to begin with, or because their old paradigm broke down. For example, it looks like the statistics-based paradigm that guided research in psychology is breaking down, because of the replication crisis. Kuhn's advice to people in this situation would be to re-examine the philosophical basis of the field, NOT to continue on doing business as usual.
If you render a more complex component this introduces another level of indentation. I can see why some people would prefer cleaner code but in my opinion, indenting ifs is a good thing as it increases the readability and allows you to spot if statements faster.
It was cruel and unusual punishment by whoever it was that recommended that a scientist who doesn't watch television should watch that awful scientist insulting sitcom.
