This time phenomenon is not a function of capitalism. Interest rates coordinate time with risk. In the 80s my dad bought his first house (on a middle class gs-7 federal job) at an interest rate of 12%; in the nineties he got a second house at the same value for 6%, (thus effectively free, by refi the first), and in the early aughts he got a third at 3%.

Why? Not because of the free market, but because the fed keeps goosing the interest rate downward to stimulate growth. Will I be able to do such a thing? No.
(I'm assuming you mean grief about losing someone)

One thing that I have found to be very important is: don't fight grief.

I've realized it's a normal feeling, you should let yourself feel it, it's only worse if you try to fight it.

Remembering "the good times" with common friends/relatives/??? instead of racking your brain with the "why" also seems to make it a bit better.

Other than that, only time will fix things.

Sorry for your loss.

> What an awful argument by the critics; I'm not sure that it should even be called an argument.

How is it a bad argument? At least in the U.S., the places that consider themselves the most tolerant tend to be the most segregated. E.g. the majority of the most segregated cities in the U.S. are in the northeast, the midwest, and the west coast.[1]

It's been especially noticeable this election, where many Clinton supporters have been attacking Bernie for being racist because he lives in a state where minorities aren't kept in special ghettos to be used as de facto slave labor. (E.g. if you go to any gas station or restaurant in Vermont then you're likely to be served by a white person, as opposed to in NYC where these places are almost entirely staffed by minorities who are payed less than a living wage and live in segregated neighborhoods.)

>is it the responsibility of the platform to do so?

This is a question the platform needs to answer for itself, and is fundamentally just a 'safety vs. freedom' decision. Some platforms will select for freedom and others will select for safety.

Decentralized systems will, by their nature, err on the side on freedom. By the time decentralized networks are viable/usable, I think the general populace will be more interested in such things. The curated, safe experiences will be the dominion of corporations.
Just in the interest of playing devil's advocate here, do you truly believe that porn does not play at least some role in fostering the culture? I don't know the answer to that, but even if you don't rape anyone, you could absolutely still play a part in creating a culture that blames the victim. After all, if we believe in a culture of influence, then to some extent the media and people we surround ourselves with must play some role in shaping individual attitudes and behaviors, which can then feed each other to reinforce the culture.

Is our porn a reflection of our culture, or are we reflections of our porn?

How about installing a wood-burning fireplace? Super cozy also in daily life, probably adds to the resale value of your house, and you can keep firewood indefinitely as long as it's dry.

As for food: stock canned goods for a week. (There's a reason preppers have rooms full of the stuff.) You probably also want to stock bottled water for a week, just in case.
Does wordpress use much javascript now? IANAL, but if so, downloading it could count as distributing the under the GPL.
Well, something good about the eBPF design is that we can go in both directions. It's possible to write both new language projects, and to port old ones. I'd work on it myself, if I had the requisite knowledge.

Heck, maybe I'll learn some requisite knowledge and get on it.

The issue with taking arbitrary user uploads and piping them directly into a program that happily accepts and interprets arbitrary data is security.

They claim support for over 200 formats, some of which surely have exciting scripting functionality that no one ever uses:

And there have been recent code execution vulnerability reports:

Now libpng (e.g.) has issues as well but if at all possible I would try to restrict the input format and process only with software for the specific format.
In some sense I agree with you. And it seems that, anyway, the big multinationals can find ways to squirrel away their profits without having to pay much, if any, taxes anyway. So in this way corporate taxes hit the SMB's while the big boys get a free pass..

However, one argument against lowering corporate taxes I've seen is that it would incentivize people to skirt around their personal taxes by "using" corporations. Instead of buying your own car, let a corporation (maybe your employer, maybe your own 1-person corporation that everybody would set up in a system like this?) own the car and you just use it. So somehow you'd need to prevent that kind of behavior. Perhaps shifting the tax burden from income to consumption would do that, IDK and I'm too tired to think about it now.

Another tax that economists generally seem to think well of, is land value taxes (originally by Henry George, IIRC). But these seem more or less impossible politically, as the politicians are generally better of than the average Joe and tend to own more land/property..

Would you be more specific as to why you prefer flask to django?

I looked at flask, and the code for views doesn't look much different. It does look like it's missing form and model validation. Do you use a library for that or do you not do that?
I prefer the BSD license to the GPL myself, but I downvoted you because you seem to be coming from a deliberately obtuse point of view just to cause controversy, not intelligent discourse as you are claiming to want. In other words, you commented with the full expectation of being downvoted just so you would have a reason to complain. I may be wrong of course, please correct me if so.

Again, despite my preference for the BSD license I side with Wordpress on this issue; it's a clear violation of the GPL and should be enforced.
I feel like the people complaining about how many libraries there are in this stack don't know what these tools do. Most are small tools that do one thing very well.

Yarn installs packages, much like Gem, NuGet, whatever. Pretty standard.

React is a frontend framework. Not surprising that you'd use one. I suppose you could opt to write a giant pile of vanilla JavaScript instead (I'm assuming you're not using this kit for a simple webpage, which would be silly. We're building a web app, right?)

I'd dare to compare Gulp + Webpack + Babel to your "compiler" in a way. I'm a little lost at why we're using both Webpack and Gulp though. Babel is a necessary evil to ensure we're "cross-platform" in a manner of speaking. These are probably your most "unnecessarily complicated" tools.

ESLint and Flow check your code for obvious mistakes. Reminds me of IntelliSense and compiler warnings. Again, pretty standard stuff.

Mocha is a test runner and Chai is an "assertion library". Chai isn't a big deal: expect(foo).to.equal('bar'); Simple stuff.

Feel free to scoff at Redux and Immutable if you'd like. Probably unnecessary.

Am I the only one that likes this ecosystem? I feel like it follows the Unix philosophy of "Make each program do one thing well". You need almost all these tools in other environments -- they're just typically chosen for you in advanced.

I love the attitude you've imputed there, the way I see it the alternative is that they get stuck with stagnant wages or no job at all. Way better.

Same here. The Norwegian site Finn.no has the closest thing I've found, adding released public aerial photos to their map service every now and then. For an example, go to http://kart.finn.no/, find a city and look at the menu node called "Historiske".
We're starting to feel the pain a bit with the online unbundled alternatives, sure.

Right now, I have Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime (mostly for the shipping but it also has some shows I like), Crunchyroll. And I'm still missing things I want, which would require: Funimation, HBO Now, CBS. At that point, I'd be close to my old cable bill again, and still wouldn't have new content from AMC or Showtime. Would also love to have TV Japan, but if you think ESPN gouges you ... that requires satellite TV, the more expensive dish/receiver, and costs $25 a month for just that one channel!

I would welcome an ala carte system for shows, but only if they were reasonably priced. Definitely not paying $1 for a completely predictable episode of Modern Family or a "why is this still on the air?" Simpsons episode. But Real Time? Sure. Game of Thrones? I'd happily pay double. I may just start waiting until seasons end, sign up, binge watch a whole season in a month, and cancel.

I don't even think music has become reasonably priced yet. Sure it's $1 a song, but you're still paying $15 if you want the album. Even though they no longer have to make a CD, ship it to stores, and give a large markup to the retailer. And the MP3 is way lower quality than the lossless CD. Yet they still want the same price.
It's more about young athletes who have the choice between sports where your brain turns to mush and make half as much as you used to or other sports that are easier on the body. Look whats happened to boxing.

You're right, I did try to understand how my actions resulted in my circumstances. Then I figured out what circumstances I wanted to be in, identified the actions that had a high probability of putting me there, and took them. Not every action worked as desired, but the majority did, and I didn't get discouraged at the occasional failure - I learned from them. I was literally at the bottom of society, with every disadvantage, and now I'm pretty far on the other side of the distribution. I'm not particularly gifted in any way, I just never quit striving, I thought carefully about my actions, and I learned from my mistakes. Almost anyone could do what I did, provided an example to work from.

I am happy to step forward and uplift people who encounter adversity, pick themselves back up, figure things out and keep striving. On the other hand, I'm not going to provide positive reinforcement to people with a negative attitude who think life comes down to luck/genetics/parents, and they are out of control. That attitude is a sickness, and acknowledging it is like giving a homeless drug addict money; you might think you're helping, but you're only fueling their downward spiral. I understand perfectly well that the addict feels substance abuse is the only way to numb the terrible pain and emptiness of their life - I know exactly how shitty they feel inside. Don't assume because I don't think coddling people with certain maladaptive life views is the best way to help them that I don't understand their suffering.

As for understanding people that are in no way like yourself, you haven't the faintest clue either - nobody does. That doesn't mean that when they are in circumstances similar to me, and they take actions that are self-defeating, I can't apply life lessons I've learned to them. Relativism taken to that extent is just foolishness.
Is there a good article that explains why is so hard to properly do 3D acceleration in a VM? And why is it so hard to do GPU passthrough? And if there's any hope this might improve significantly, let's say 70~90% of native GPU performance. I understand you need compatible hardware and NVIDIA makes it harder just to sell cards that are more expensive. Maybe you have some insight.

Off-topic: You go in one of those Linux boards and they all say it's so easy to do it. I mean, yes, I can follow instructions and make it work but it's so cumbersome for every day usage if you want to use a Windows guest. Death by a thousand paper cuts. I don't have the time or patience to use weird setups in my work desktop anymore. To think about it, I did some pretty crazy stuff a few years ago, I'm surprised I wasn't even fired back then. The Linux equivalent of betting your income on a Hackintosh.

Kinda like anything Linux related. Don't get me wrong, all my servers are using some variation of it, but when it comes to UX (I'm not talking about GUI) and desktop stuff (not only games but anything GPU related) I wish some things were more mature.

Major League Baseball would like to talk to you about that.

Frankly, the fact that I can almost always find an illegal stream of quality as good as ESPN's streaming, I find it difficult to believe it's that hard to do. And the fact that several major professional sports are doing it, mostly using MLB Advanced Media, tells me that ESPN can do this if it wants.

The problem is the economics of scale and advantages of bundling, not live broadcasts.

EDIT: I should add that not only is MLB's streaming as good as TV, it's better. I can pause, rewind, see multiple angles or even watch more than one game at once. If it weren't for draconian blackouts (see, there's economics getting in the way again) it would be the only way to watch baseball.
There's league mismanagement, starting with the uneven and arbitrary handling of player discipline, questionable attempts to expand the league's reach which have damaged the product on the field, like the London and Thursday night games. Legislation of any sort of entertainment or fun out of the league, such as celebration penalties, taunting penalties, fines against players for wearing non-sanctioned but legal equipment (i.e. different colored shoes, arm-sleeves, eye-black, etc), Hypocrisy about player safety concerns, concussions, domestic violence, recreational drug usage (you can be shot full of Torodol during a game, but not light a blunt in Denver or Seattle, where it is legal, during your off-time), etc. It goes on...

There is also rampant team mismanagement. The best teams in the NFL are the best teams in the NFL largely because they have competent, stable front offices and coaching staffs. Hitting on a good quarterback also helps, but isn't necessarily the key, as great quarterbacks in shitty systems can't surmount that handicap by themselves. Some teams shuffle their management every other year, routinely overpay for players, leaving gaping holes in their rosters in other areas, constantly trade away valuable draft picks for over-the-hill veterans, cut players on guaranteed contracts that then count as deadwood eating up their salary cap to no benefit, and many other examples of unsound, short-term thinking. This kind of mismanagement is crippling, because a year of two of whiffing in the draft or mismanaging the salary cap can impact a team for years down the road.

In cases like this, the court of public opinion can often be all that is necessary to resolve the issue and push the violator to do the right thing. This avoids costly litigation and makes things easier on both sides. If the violator chooses to ignore the public outcry, then certainly there is the legal path to follow next.

In a non-software example, if my neighbor intends to violate my property line with his new fence plans, I'll drop by, have a glass of lemonade with him, and discuss the issue. If we come to an agreement about the property line and can resolve the issue right there, that's the best outcome. If he insists on continuing to violate my rights even after we talked about it, only then would I seek legal recourse. To jump straight to court over it not only costs me and him a ton of money, it costs something more valuable: A fractured neighbor-to-neighbor relationship, ensuring that any future encounters will be hostile and costly.
