Right. Everybody asks if they can vote "None of the above". That's exactly the message that a 3rd party vote sends. People need to go out and have their objection counted, instead of just bemoaning the major candidates and staying home or voting for one of them.

While the two-party side effect of our voting system will likely ensure that a Dem or Rep will get in again, boosting the third parties just to hit magic 5%, 10%, 15% tiers will actually be the best use of a vote to try to change the political landscape going forward. There would be access to more funding, media, debates, and DC facilities for the 3rd parties. The 3rd parties also need to push for election process reform, to get rid of the 2-party effect. Some localities are already testing the waters in more progressive voting schemes.

This is all especially true if you're not in a swing state. If your state is already blue or red, another blue or red vote is a 100% wasted vote. Remember, you're not voting for the president; you're voting for who your state is going to vote for president. If that's already decided by a large mass of card-carrying party line voters, or by extreme public sway, that determination has already been made. Use your vote elsewhere.

We need creative destruction in the political process, and deconstructing or at least challenging the incumbent parties is the only civilized option I see. Too many people throw their hands up at Dem vs Rep, and think the only way to change that is violent revolution.

The concept of (near) total meal replacement with unproven sources of nutrition, such as Soylent.
There are plenty of people on this page insisting that politics should be countered only with politics, not with shunning. That can be a good policy at a small scale, don't fire people because of how they vote, etc. But it's not a good policy at a large scale, of deciding whether you work with a big corporate institution (or someone with as much money and public face as one).
About the same for me as well. The only thing I'd add is that if the book has exercises and some of them are algorithmic in nature, I often require days of background thinking time.
How to Cope with Grief
Grief is one of the hardest emotional hurdles to get through, I say through because you have to walk it. I won’t say to get over cause we never really get over losing a loved one. And we all grieve differently. With that in mind one of the important things to do is to reminisce with old photos, these intense feelings needs to be balanced with the happy memories. Allowing those good memories to fog your mind will usher in healing. Free flowing thoughts run through your mind letting the tears escape all part of the healing process. Remain firm in your emotions do not let them control you, let them run through you. Being in control means, your not totally falling apart, even as your world crumbles around you. Happiness will come again when fighting the loss ends. Start by bringing in the positive, yes it’s work on your part, learning to smile through the pain. Creating your own happiness. Rest assured the sun will come out again, and you will have gained wisdom through this heart breaking trial. makinglifeallbetter.wordpress.com

You don't know what went on during my ten days as CEO, but that won't stop you from disparaging my CEO abilities without actual evidence, will it? Talk to @christi3k or @lsblakk or others who supported me before you disparage, if you care about testimony from people who were there.

Important update (should go without saying): that I left does not prove anything about CEO abilities. There's only one line I do say about why I left, and it is vague. You can find it on my blog from 3 April 2014, I'm not repeating it here.

It does code generation. What id does not is _source_ code generation. That is, you never see the code Lombok generates, never have to maintain it, and never have a chance to break it by editing. You can see it as a macro substitution.

OTOH IDE-generated code is "normal" source code, adding boilerplate to your "real" code, not tracking changes in it automatically, and perfectly breakable.

You are over-generalizing. Trying to persuade others in "something" is completely fine. Unless "something" happens to be "let's institute groupthink and shun anybody who dares to disagree with our views" and then it's terrible. Not the fact of persuading is terrible, but the content of this particular persuasion.

Outside of that considerable stretching, it doesn't exist. Also, I challenge your premise that conflates "belief" with "constructing narratives"

Do you believe you will be alive tomorrow? If so, are you constructing a grand-weaving narrative... or simply making a singular belief? Or, more simply, are you just extrapolating off of past experiences?
Almost definitely this. Our local paper has actually tried to literally give away the Sunday edition. ie, a Sunday-only subscription at no cost. Not sure how many takers they got - I didn't sign up.
I admit I'm very confused about the dismissal of claims of racism. I'm Chinese in America and trumps focus on China and it's evils is very uncomfortable for me and many other Chinese people who want to be seen as American citizens and part of America. This is him spouting hatred to a country whose people have come to this country to make opportunity as they have always had even during such times as the Chinese exclusion act.

She gets no credit for pretending to be pro-gay rights after the fact. IT's not flip flopping its pandering.

Trump doesn't pander. He doesn't care about gays much he's not courting the gay vote, but that's appropriate- government should be out of our lives not denying our rights.

Obama could have taken action in 2008. He didn't. He continued to oppose gay marriage.

Did hillary stand up to him? Of course not.

You guys think we have to vote for you otherwise we're self hating or some other bullshit.... but we don't. You are going to be in big trouble when the republicans implode and are replaced by libertarians, or they loosen up on social issues and obsolete the libertarian that way.

The religious right is dying out. So when a serious party offers both economic freedom and social freedom, the democrats-- who pretend to offer social freedom and don't even pretend to offer economic freedom -- are going to be DOA.

Unless you fool all the people all the time that all the people are racist and sexist.

Here's How Artificial Intelligence Is Going to Replace Middle Class Jobs
To properly recharge during vacation, to get rid of work stress, and actually return to work energized, you need to disconnect from work. This means you have to do absolutely nothing that's connected to work for at least three weeks straight.

Shorter vacations spoil this. Emailing or talking on the phone while on vacation spoils this.

Quick question: Have you ever taken three consecutive weeks off work?
It does if the original designer & manufacturer is the one renting it out - and is therefore on the hook for the maintenance costs. This is currently the case with Mercedes/Smart and their car2go service - and is probably going to become more prevalent in the car space.
Russia is treated as the evil foreign boogieman which happens primarily because it's useful to so many powerful groups of people. They're a convenient scapegoat because in real life there are rarely actual evil bad guys that fit neatly into this category, more often reality is much more boring and harmless, so exaggeration fills the void.

The jews suffered heavily from this in the early 20th century/late 19th century, they were constantly used by others for justifications of power grabs or used as distractions. Before that "Vikings" were heavily used as a constant abstract threat by the English government in the 13-15th century. The church used it to recruit and crown used it to justify authority. In public announcements and oratory they would often warn the population about the threat of savage invasion, spreading fake stories of previous invasions, even though there were zero significant viking events in those times. Much like how anti-semites spread a fake story of Jewish consipracy to take over the world https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Protocols_of_the_Elders_of...

Russia is flawed, corrupt, has some backwards policies and cultural norms (see: homosexuality), and does pose some danger in a foreign policy sense, but largely they're a heavily weakened state with a far bigger bark than bite. Any serious conflict with them would turn nuclear fast so any large war is extremely unlikely. But for the people in question bark is all that's need to exploit the situation.

For example if you're an influential person with deep PR connections and embarassing papers come out, you can make the narrative about the Russia rather than the leaks. 75-90% of the recent coverage of Wikileaks has been about Russia instead of the leaks.

The US military dreams of having a modern military/navy like Russia as an adversary. The military industrial complex is hugely incentivized to promote this narrative and push it heavily in the press.

NATO recently released a statement warning of a repeat of the Ukraine incursion in places like Estonia/Latvia... even though the Ukranian thing was entirely a result of exploiting the crisis and near lawlessness that was already happening there. Russia didn't just randomly decide to invade a sovereign state. So it's so incredibly highly unlikely they'd invade stable NATO counties because they happen to have minor Russian populations.

NATO and other security organizations which are seemingly out of date in a world of modern terrorism warfare are also continuing to pump up the threat to justify their existence (NATO only THIS year opened a counter-terrorism department).

There's lots of other examples of people exaggerating the Russia threat for their own ends but this comment is long enough as it is.

Trump Proposes Term Limits for Congress
I don't understand what your example here about common language rebuts - that's something that would be solved for in the premise of the test, or it's not a fair test.

Is your argument that that person is still intelligent even if they've failed the test? Because that's the entirety of my point - the Turing test does not return a measure of intelligence, but of communicability.

Or is your point that if such a person fails it doesn't invalidate the test's measurement of intelligence? In a world where the test is implemented correctly, meaning where things like cross-language barriers are accounted for, failing to pass means failing to convince another person that you can communicate like a human would. If you fail, the only way you can consider that a "false negative" would be if you concede that the test is not a sufficient measure of intelligence but of ability to communicate - that's what makes it a FALSE negative.
Sorry for the late response, but yes that's basically what we would do. They could then go with their own engineers or another firm to do the update.
This is a false dichotomy. Please present evidence that shows that paying for news means you are not being manipulated. I counter your lack of evidence with an opinion that states the opposite: News being written by people, almost all news has some form of bias. Sometimes it's barely there, sometimes it's in-your-face.

One interesting thing is that “25% more work” is taken at face value.

In my experience, that 25% does not equate to 25% more productive in any non-assembly line job.

I'm late to the party, but there's one more important point here.

By having that one IT person at HQ, Google is also reducing the amount of money each school district spends on tech by eliminating / reducing sys admin and support staff.

Whether or not this is a good thing overall, I don't know. But public schools like to save money everywhere they can these days.

I believe Texas had some clause in joining the federal government that allows them to bail. I would suspect other states could leave the union if push turns to shove and momentum grows in that direction.

However, everybody has wanted and continues to want to have their fingers in the federal pie, and that makes it much harder to pull away given how much everybody is now dependent on and intertwined with them.

But there is 1 interesting precedent being set: Legalization of marijuana. It is still federally illegal to use/possess/sell it, but states have rejected that and set their own standards. I don't think they can stop the feds doing raids within their borders, though, so it's not a total repudiation.
I'd prefer a system that allowed 'vote for as many as you like'. Then a 3rd party candidate could get a true vote count. If they had appeal in enough directions, they could even win.

There are additional costs if we compare ICE vehicles and EV charged with clean energy.

The economic, social and environmental costs of pollution and greenhouse gases of ICE vehicles are a considerable part of these and others costs, but not all:

- pollution health impact -

<< Some three million deaths a year are linked to exposure to outdoor air pollution. Indoor air pollution can be just as deadly. In 2012, an estimated 6.5 million deaths (11.6 per cent of all global deaths) were associated with indoor and outdoor air pollution together.

Ninety-four per cent of the deaths are due to non-communicable diseases – notably cardiovascular diseases, stroke, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and lung cancer. Air pollution also increases the risks for acute respiratory infections.

“ This new model is a big step forward towards even more confident estimates of the huge global burden of more than six million deaths – one in nine of total global deaths – from exposure to indoor and outdoor air pollution,” said Dr. Neira, who is WHO Director, Department of Public Health, Environmental and Social Determinants of Health.

- Greenhouse gases emission for climate change impact -

“Temperature change will leave the average income around the world 23% lower in 2100 than it would be without climate change”
"This study is far from the first to suggest that climate change will slow economic growth. Big business has been especially keen on highlighting the potential damage. A Citigroup report released last month found that minimizing temperature rises to 2.7ºF (1.5ºC) could minimize global GDP loss by $50 trillion compared to a rise of 8.1ºF (4.5ºC) in the coming decades."

"Fossil Fuel Subsidies Cost $5 Trillion Annually and Worsen Pollution
The International Monetary Fund notes that subsides for burning fossil fuels enrich the wealthy and make air pollution worse"

I repeat that ICE vehicles are a considerable part of this costs, not all. Also EV charged with clean energy have costs, R&D&I, subsidies, etc. but compared in economic, social and environmental costs and in each of them alone, EV charged with clean energy cost less and are better for society’s health, economy, security, survival and happiness, globally.
There is a lot of work and costs left to do but I think we can do it with increasing innovation and social awareness.

If you are willing to trade a couple thousand dollars for a few hours of work I'm not going to stop you.
First off, you're linking to wikipedia. All even vaguely political pages on wikipedia have been put thru the hard left censorship test (just like everyone on this site who isn't hard left eventually gets banned) and so it's not authoritative.

I mean, by your argument the Nazis were not fascist! Do you realize that Nazi is slang for Nationalist Socialist German Workers Party?

They were marxist to their core.

Tacking "far right" onto the definition is the lefts way of evading responsibility for advocating fascist policies by changing the definition.

Just like you guys are trying to change the definition of "racism" so that racism against whites is not racism. (same with sexism against men)

As for encouraging violence, authoritarianism (which is more precise than "strong leadership") and protectionism-- that is exactly Obama. After all he has been sending thugs to Trump rallies for the past year to beat people up. Like he did to the town halls for Obamacare etc. etc. He's protectionist on labor and other key resources, etc.

I'm not defending Trump, I'm saying he's the lesser of two evils, and you guys are redefining "evil" to ignore how profoundly evil your candidate is.
I would say that at that point, it ceases to be a simple setter method (or set property). It's not a simple case of mutating some element of a data structure of filenames as strings. There'd be some validation and error handling involved. It's a perfectly valid high level message to send a file object.

As an aside, I'd probably make a method called "rename" that does this, as opposed to something like "setName".
First, Trump is supported by roughly 40% of likely voters, not all Americans. Second, just because a belief is widely held doesn't automatically make it more acceptable than it would be if it were less common.

The short version is, if you care about modern browsers, you should be using SHA-256 already. If you care about ancient clients, you should be using SHA-1 still. If you care about both, you need to serve both[1], but your SHA-1 cert most likely expires at the end of this year anyway, unless you've gone through the effort for extraordinary issuance.

[1] you'll most likely need to write code for this, I don't think it's widely supported. If you send SHA-1 to TLS1.0 and SSLv3, that's probably easier than triggering off the signature algorithms extension.
Many airlines offer a Premium Economy product which offers wide seats and more legroom (think domestic First Class). They don't tend to sell well; Turkish Airlines is in fact removing them from their aircraft [0] — and many major airlines don't even have a Premium Economy cabin (United, Delta, Emirates, Etihad, Qatar, et al).

Most people just aren't willing to pay for wider, more spacious seats.
