How is making something that is happening between consenting adults legal causing externalities that don't already exist by it being illegal?

Also, I wasn't insinuating that human trafficking is inconsequential, or that it's even rare, I don't know if it is or isn't. I was merely stating that it is a separate act/crime. Not all prostitutes are created as a result of human trafficking. I'm all for stopping sex that is not consensual.

Also, I see "muh freedoms" and personal responsibility as intertwined ideas, I'm not sure I see why you think they are opposed. If I'm free to fuck whoever I want, and another is also free to do the same (regardless of whether or not there is a financial transaction at the same time), then we are responsible for our own sex lives, yes? The state is not involved (I get "muh freedoms").
Please don't blindly attribute disagreement to unscrupulous motives. It's disrespectful and destroys dialogue. Not to mention that, for all we know, some people downvoted it because they consider it too low.
No it is not. Ionized radiation is dangerous, non ionized is not, as proven by science.

I'm surprised how on discussions about the 'butterfly ballot', the impact of the viewing angle is rarely mentioned. See these images [1][2][3] that show that as the viewing angle deviates further from top-down, the recessed spine that holds the circular marks to be punched gets misaligned from the arrows that are supposed to be pointing to the proper spot.

As the ballot was installed on a stand at approximately chest-height [4] (it's really hard to find a picture of a person standing at it -- does anyone have one?), shorter people had a more oblique view making the arrows more likely to get misaligned.

I'm not sure what point you're trying to make from that incoherent babbling, but let's make one thing clear -- the YPG/J are regarded as some of the most well-trained and disciplined organizations in Syria.

They're able to make great strides against Isil with minimal backpedaling, engaging in the toughest counter-terrorism and guerrilla operations the world has ever seen, in addition to long-lasting success in large-scale conventional warfare. US SOF have been very tightly embedded with them for a relatively lengthy period of time and the effects are definitely apparent.

Their power structure is clearly defined compared to the FSA and other radical Islamists, whom are bereft with nepotism and weak professional cohesion, and I'm certain the schism within the current administration is between the US State Department+CIA and the US DOD.

As for your jab at Hillary with your "Hama Rules" reference and your subtle allusion to whether Trump supports the SDF -- I am willing to argue that Hillary is just as clueless to the Middle East as Trump. The former will defer to our partners in the Middle East (eg: Gulf monarchies, Turkey) and pursue a policy of leading from behind while the latter will go with the status quo. Frankly I'd prefer the latter as the situation is unstable but there is definitely a positive trend with regards to knocking radical Islamist ideology down a couple notches.

Interesting post, thanks. This certainly begs the questions of if/how it would be possible to concisely (or even not so concisely) convey this information to consumers.

What's most interesting is the lack of change from 1984 to today's macOS. I have a theory that all GUIs are stuck at whenever they were first released.

Macs in 1984 single app at once, thus screen level menu.

X in 1984, but wasn't really about the UI.

Windows 1985, multiple apps, thus window level menu.

RISC OS 1987-9, 3 button mouse and multiple apps, dedicated menu button, app vs document distinction, drag and drop load/save.
Their product pages all clearly state that they are vegan, lactose-free, nut-free, but are not organic, not certified kosher, not GMO free, not allergen free (“contains soy & gluten”), not gluten-free (e.g. “less than 20 parts-per-million (ppm) of gluten but does not meet the Celiac Support Association gluten-free guidelines.”), and have a list of all ingredients.

Your complaint seems to be about one sentence on the marketing page for their original pre-order campaign in 2013 (as seen at the internet archive here https://web.archive.org/web/20140506133101/https://campaign....), which was based on a different formulation of their product without the current problematic ingredient, and didn’t list any detailed nutrition information at all, instead explicitly directing curious readers to their other web pages / blog posts for more information (including a full list of ingredients with the note that the product contained soy).

I don’t quite understand why you think their new product version in 2016 should be considered to retroactively make their (no longer existent) page from 2013 false advertising.

> Some hardly use any pesticides at all.

Citation? I can't imagine they would use little or none unless they were farming something specific, like rice, which can grow under water or if it's grown indoors.

> What is the most sustainable and ecologically friendly way to get food then? Local farms, farmers markets, or growing your own food seems like the best but I don't think that's sustainable for the whole population.

So I'm having trouble finding the study I read a few years back but it essentially found that large, centralized farms are the most efficient because our transportation has gotten so good and many plants grow better in specific climates versus growing everything locally. So if you have enough scale then centralized, huge farms seems to be the way to go.

However that's using today's farming. I've seen many write-ups calling for entire buildings with hundreds of floors for farming. If we can get those energy efficient then we should be able to create the perfect climate for each plant and we'll be taking up vertical space so it'll be better land usage too.

Though that would suck if power died from, say, a solar flare and all of our food was in these towers...heh

In Switzerland, people write themselves Yes or No in the appropriate field, or they write the names of the people they vote for (misspellings will still be counted, unless two candidates have similar names and it's hard to make out which one was meant). How hard can ballot design be? Not hard, if you're not trying too hard.
Yes, you are right. And these governments compete with each other.

For every government supporting cartels there will be a dozen trying to break them, because of how much money you can make by breaking a cartel.

I don't like Trump. I don't think he's an admirable person, and I doubt he would ultimately bring much to the White House.

But I also think that under a Trump Administration, we'll see the Fourth Estate suddenly come back to life in this country. And a lot of people on both sides of the aisle will develop a profound interest in the checks and balances in the government that for too long have been left ignored.

This is an impressive rant but it is pretty rambling and incoherent for the most part.

Minimalism advocates can be dogmatic and that tends to be bad, but taking cues from minimalism isn't a bad thing when it makes something better.

This article[1] (1999!) has a pro-GM scientist seemingly arguing that Bacillus thuringiensis can be fatal to mammals, criticizing its use in organic farming.

Is this just blatantly incorrect, based on outdated science (given that it was published so long ago), or is it not the whole story?

I've seen this "minimalism == privileged posing" line of argument a few times now. It may be fair in many cases, but I think there's another angle that never seems to get mentioned: I'd guess that a disproportionate number of these "posers" live in tech hubs like SF, NY or London. In places like that, owning stuff may simply be unaffordable, not because the stuff itself is unaffordable but because space to put it is unaffordable. That is, they may be cash-rich but space-poor, whereas the stereotypical rural redneck with 3 old cars up on bricks in the front yard for spares may be cash-poor but space-rich.

You can call this "sour grapes" or "making a virtue of necessity", depending on how generous you're feeling, but I think there's more to it than just posing.
Java is a VM. I presume you mean vmware/docker/vbox

That would be correct. I was just pulling from a mental list of "who is usually a memory hog when I look at Activity Monitor?" and not thinking in strict terms of what I wrote.

...and typically does take as much memory as Java.

My experience says: I wouldn't be so sure about that. :-) Hence my listing of the Java runtime. (I'm not Java whiz, so I could probably optimize a thing or two, but I spend a lot of time with Android. And between Android Studio and firing up the runtime to run an emulator, Java can regularly take up multiple gigabytes of RAM.)
I tried this a few days ago after [someone here suggested](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12876472) it as a Lambda + containers tool.

I signed up for the trial and was pretty impressed how easy it was to get up and running. I'm hesitant to use for production-level workloads. As it matures I think it will be a great platform (and then Amazon, Google, or Digital Ocean, etc. will acquire it and maybe roll it into their offerings or maybe kill it.)

The MS-DOS Executive was a quasi-graphical shell that shipped in Windows 1.0 (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_shell#MS-DOS_Executive). Windows "Program Manager" was strictly a "launch pad" to start applications and didn't support arbitrary file management. "File Manager" handled file management operations (though if memory serves you could launch applications from it). Finder integrated file management and application launch. Arguably this wasn't integrated in Windows until the Windows 95 Explorer shell came along.

> Every single one of your examples has to do with gender, not ethnic diversity like the original article was talking about.

It's interesting that you interpreted it that way.

The author states that "diversity discussion is utterly broken", and I agree he focuses on race, but at no point did he constrain his criticism that to a particular sub-set of diversity.

In addition:

i) The article even opens with a lengthy movie reference (complete with a huge lead image) about the arrival of a woman at a previously all-male news team.

ii) From the article: "We’re turning race or gender into a crutch being used as an excuse for real or perceived failures."

iii) From the article: "Their goal is to help startups take proper steps to hire more women and minorities."

I don't think there's much wiggle room on the intent of the author, stated or implied.

I can only assume that either you didn't read the article completely or that you're attempting to move the goalposts; either consciously or due to confirmation bias.

> Could you submit some evidence about under-represented groups?

We could get into evidence for ethnic/racial bias if you really want to; but first I'd rather address the issue of why you feel like you need to move the discussion away from gender.

Until we get past that problem, citing further evidence would likely just polarise the discussion and lead nowhere.
I'm not sure I'd consider 30 days to be "long term", but I do agree that long-term effects are important. I think deficiencies in important micronutrients take longer to have detectable effects and are harder to debug, in general though. It's why I am intrigued by Soylent but try to get my nutrients by just having a variety of foods in my diet.

As a financial analyst at an investment bank, or a research analyst at an economic consulting firm, your job would be in serious jeopardy if you produced 538’s model output without a clear explanation of how those fat tails that represent an inordinate number of close to impossible scenarios could actually occur. A model like that just isn’t client-ready. Time to re-think those assumptions!

This line of reasoning irks me -- If the outputs don't agree with with my preconceived conclusions, the model must be wrong. (Rather than: Maybe my preconceived conclusions are wrong.)

I don't have an opinion on the 538 model, not having analyzed the internals. But I don't like the idea of criticizing a model because you don't agree with its results.

On the bright side, the election will shortly be over and we'll have at least some measure of how accurate each model (538, HuffPo, etc.) actually was.

Considering people trafficking and sex slavery are things, you can't ever be sure that the adults on those videos are consenting. Especially the women.
BGP was intended for a specific niche. Earlier, there was the ARPANET, operated by BBN out of Boston, and peripheral stuff connected to it. Early Internet thinking was that there was a "core" with its own routing protocol, and BGP was how the core communicated with small peripheral networks. BGP wasn't intended as the core routing protocol.

Mutually mistrustful routing is hard. I wrote some stuff on this in the early 1980s. The best I came up with was a scheme where forgeries would be detected, and once the source of the forgeries had been kicked off the network, the system would heal itself. (Asymmetric cryptographic signing had been invented but wasn't yet used or trusted.)

> What if you never had to worry about food again?

> For many people, on many occasions, food is a hassle, especially when trying to eat well. Suppose we had a default meal that was the nutritional equivalent of water: cheap, healthy, convenient and ubiquitous. Soylent will be personalized for different body types and customizable based on individual goals. It allows one to enjoy the health benefits of a well balanced diet with less effort and cost.

> For anyone who struggles with allergies, heartburn, acid reflux or digestion, has trouble controlling weight or cholesterol, or simply doesn't have the means to eat well, soylent is for you.

> Soylent frees you from the time and money spent shopping, cooking and cleaning, puts you in excellent health, and vastly reduces your environmental impact by eliminating much of the waste and harm coming from agriculture, livestock, and food-related trash.

> There are problems with the current state of food

> 50% of the food produced globally is wasted, and food makes for the largest component of municipal garbage. If not for this waste there would be plenty of food to adequately nourish everyone alive. 2 million people are killed annually by smoke inhalation from indoor cooking stoves alone. 70% of americans are overweight or obese. 1 in 7 people globally are malnourished, and 1 in 3 in the developing world suffer from deficiency. Countless others are living hand-to-mouth, subsistence farming, hindering economic development. Even in the developed world, agriculture is the most dangerous industry to work in by occupational injuries and illnesses, and obesity is on the rise.

> By taking years to spoil, dramatically reducing cost, and easing transportation and storage, soylent could have a dramatic effect on hunger and malnutrition. Proceeds from the purchase of soylent enable us to work with aid partners and reduce hunger and environmental impact both in the United States and the developing world.

> Think about what the future of food looks like. Imagine everyone having a customized, efficient, nutritious default diet and the freedom to eat for leisure as desired. It is a bright, healthy future indeed.

I have problems with a bunch of these claims ("takes years to spoil"), but Soylent do appear to have pulled back from some of them. And donating money to the WFP is always good.
You're right; "GMO producers generally don't respect the environment, and that behavior may extend to their products" is an opinion, not science. It's up for debate. As is "near-perfect food already exists and doesn't benefit from messing with it." Also an opinion.

Science and Industry exist in a tight, codependent feedback loop. Industry gets many of its most important new breakthroughs by funding new science; science gets to happen exponentially faster than it would otherwise through industry funding. This is inevitable; I'm simply arguing for 1) not checking our skepticism at the door, and 2) allowing for consumers to make their own choices in the matter.
Sam Harris, TED talk
I don't personally agree with the author's point, or the article in general, but my reading of that sentence was a suggestion that all three are things that the practitioners talk about at length. Each is a lifestyle choice or hobby that people like telling others about. Another example is CrossFit.
Maybe I'm just bored, but I'm quite excited about what we will have to create as interface patterns with mixed reality. Even if there were no useful content made for it, I'm pretty sure I could spend hours trying building interfaces and see how well they go, just like I can spend hours trying to 3d print a ball or testing the limits of printing on thin air.

In any way, I can't see this not being a technological advance once we'll have played with it as makers for a decent amount of years.
I wonder how many people would accept a compromise of this: they vote to reduce building and density, but at the same time agree that their asset appreciation will go mostly to the city (via cap gains or land value taxes), rather than themselves. (Obviously this goes against Prop 13, but I still wonder how many people would be willing to admit that they want space rather than money.)
Note the use of `packed`. `packed` causes the alignment to be set as small as possible (1 byte). The aligned(2) that follows then increases the alignment from 1 byte to 2 bytes.
I've been meaning to try out Nix for probably years. I work in vfx and large facilities have particular needs that most packaging systems don't support, but there's a huge about of investment that can be leveraged (dependency resolution, caching).

I did a fresh install of macOS with Sierra and decided to use Nix instead of Homebrew this time around. So far I've only started reading through the docs and only have a few things installed; git, vim, tmux. What are your thoughts about using it as a Homebrew alternative?

I've been using Homebrew for years and have been a huge fan so far. I often look at formulas when trying to build things from scratch on Linux.
You can choose a random oracle by choose a language by random. Here a language means a set of strings.
Why aren't there more modern systems that use a weight of some sort? Easy to measure in multiple ways (weigh the container, clicker that counts entered balls), anonymous, hard to misunderstand.

That way we can have the result immediately.

For postal votes it appears you're not anonymous anyway, so no harm in the returning officer dropping a ball in for you.
