Unfortunately, this government is so criminal that they go as far as denying medicine and food donations so that they don't have to admit that we have a crisis.

50% of the medicines donated by Caritas, coming from Chile have now expired in the venezuelan ports because the government does not want to authorize them. [1]

This is a government that would rather let their people starve and die in the hospitals before admitting they have created this humanitarian crisis. I only hope we can see justice in this country some day.

"Design is not art" in a sense that while design tries to sell a product, art sells just itself. Fine.

However, it's a very broad generalization that can be easily proven wrong. A great design sells both the product and itself. Some Jaguar models come to mind, or the Eiffel Tower as another example. If you think the Eiffel Tower is not functional, I have another one for you: The Shard in London, one of my favorite buildings, is more of a work of art than just a skyscraper.

Design should be functional, but it doesn't mean it shouldn't be a work of art if it sells well.

Depends what you mean by "socialist policy" but Bolivia as a counter example:

>the socialist policies of Evo Morales, Bolivia’s president since 2006, are based on exerting state control over natural resources and increased welfare spending

>To the surprise of many, Bolivia is now Latin America’s fastest growing economy. At a 5 percent growth rate it now outstrips once dominant but now stagnating regional competitors like Brazil and Peru. Furthermore Bolivia boasts some very impressive macrofundametals: its level of international reserves are the highest in all of Latin America, it has slashed its government debt, and its inflation rate stands at a respectable 5 percent.

The policies in Vz like pricing food less than the cost of producing it so the shelves are bare could better be described as moronic rather than socialist.
Yep, there has never been corruption of this magnitude in they history of this country. And it's such sad excuse when the few people left that still support the govt say that this has always been a corrupt country...

Wasn't the Bolivarian Revolution supposed to eradicate everything that was wrong with the previous governments? They've only made every single problem worse.

> You might as well have a Parliamentary system like in Europe if you don't vote directly. Vote for MPs, the MPs pick one among them to be PM. That way you at least know whoever is elected can govern.

Arguably, one can say that the electoral college decouples electing the head of state from possible corruption from an entrenched parliament while reaping the benefits [?] of not having them elected by the people directly. Realistically it means nothing, especially when states mandate that all of their electors vote for one candidate.

What I really don't about the EC is that policy becomes dictated by less than a dozen "swing states". Who cares about Massachusetts or Mississippi when Ohio and Florida are angry about something?

Apart from being very fun to play around with, is there a concrete problem this project solves? Or is it just "because we can" kind of thing?

No. They'll just try to forget about the whole thing and pretend that it never happened. They're deluded.

During the 2000's the Danish rail ordered trains from Italy - it was a long and problemridden process, and the trains are scheduled to be scrapped as soon as possible. The factory making the trains sent one of them to Libya, as a gift for Gaddafi's 40th anniversary! At one point you could see the track laid out, and the train standing there, on Google Maps' satelite view.

Here's the end of the exchange that people took issue with:

Wallace: But, sir, there is a tradition in this country, in fact, one of the prides of this country is the peaceful transition of power and no matter how hard fought a campaign is that at the end of the campaign, that the loser concedes to the winner. Not saying you're necessarily going to be the loser or the winner, but that the loser concedes to the winner and the country comes together in part for the good of the country. Are you saying you're not prepared now to commit to that principle?

Trump: What I’m saying is that I will tell you at the time. I'll keep you in suspense, okay?

(search "one last question" on http://www.politico.com/story/2016/10/full-transcript-third-... to see the full exchange)

What you are doing is taking the weakest argument people might make about those statements. The Florida recount in 2000 was triggered simply by the close outcome of the vote there. There literally isn't a final result until the recount has been done. The recount didn't require anybody to question the results of the election, there wasn't a result at the time it started.

Going to back to the exchange between Wallace and Trump, part of the question asked was do you make the same commitment that you'll absolutely accept the result of the election. Wallace isn't asking Trump if he will exercise all available legal options in determining the result of the election, he is asking if Trump will concede after that process has played out. Trump starts his answer with I will look at it at the time. I’m not looking at anything now, I'll look at it at the time.

I think there is some legitimate room to argue that the presentation I make depends on parsing the language too closely, and that Trump is speaking more broadly about playing the process out, but it's a tactical mistake for him to do that, the nuanced answer about using the full extent of the legal process and accepting it is stronger than the grandstanding (his campaign started saying this immediately after the debate and he more or less said it in the following days...).

Same way it does on earth. Whoever actually controls the resource becomes its owner. Once someone establishes an independent presence is space they will claim independence from earth and such treaties and lay claim to anything they can reasonably defend.
You can have a look at Resumonk - https://www.resumonk.com

The paid plan allows creation of multiple resumes/cover letters each customized for a particular job opening. It gives a 'Clone' option that creates a copy of the existing resume and you can then tweak it based on the job you are applying. All these versions of your resume/cover letter are available from your Dashboard for future reference.

I was just there a month ago and yeah, the "normal" stations looked the same or better than the ones back home, and the nicer stations were really beautiful.

There's also the Sparrow Hills station which is a metro station built into a bridge and a fabulous view over the river. The entrance at one end of the bridge leads into the central park.

Other then the noise and really pushy people, I was very impressed by Moscow's metro.
Glaser says that you become clearer about the distinction between design and art as you get older. Fair enough, but this doesn't mean you are getting a clearer view of some fundamental ontological difference between the two. It's just a commonplace empirical observation that the activities/industries are different.

Can an object be both design and art? Definitely. Is art definitively identified by being purposeless? Not really.

The old name for graphic design was, after all, "commercial art."

> Parliamentary system like in Europe

There are various systems in Europe.

* England (the UK?) for instance has local elections in a given area with a first past the post winner.

* In Italy, traditionally, you simply voted for a party, which selected the people who would go to parliament if it got X% of the vote, so you kind of know who you were getting.

Both those systems have problems of their own. In Italy, you'd occasionally get a small party with, say, 10% of the vote that would 'ally' with some party that got 45%. The 'alliance' mostly meant the small party extracting as much as it possibly could from the large party, far out of proportion with its vote, until things get out of hand and the whole thing crumbled.
That's what cafés where like! Go to a café in the 1700s or 1800s and you'd find yourself in the middle of hopeful intellectuals, writers, and poets.

The problem is, there is no upper limit on "enough". Wars have been started on grounds of vital resources like food, water, etc. it's not common nowadays, as technology helped us to produce food more efficiently, and it's enough for the current population of the planet. Maybe it will not be enough for 15 billion people, which is not happening in the near future.

But then there are wars started on grouds of religion (ISIS), or territorial agression for the future generation (WWII), and none of these has to do with current resource limitations. These are based on ideologies that are made up and controlled by few and distributed via media.

Technology has made it possible to spread these kinds of ideologies more efficient than ever. It's everywhere, in news, facebook, even in Hollywood. And it is slowly transforming people to accept a greater level of violence.

Tesla has offered all electrical car companies access to the supercharger network - I am not aware of any who accepted the offer. Only now there seems to be an European standard for DC high power charging, but there are few charging stations (and except the Tesla cars) no cars which can deliver/take more than 50kW.

Except when there are only two alternatives which is the de facto situation in the US right now. It's also an irrelevant topic when it comes to the electoral college which solves exactly nothing in creating a fair election, it's just strictly worse than the alternatives.

I would recommend you start by building out a non-trivial project using the tools and technologies you know (jQuery), but try to do a single page application that calls services via RESTful APIs. Bonus points if you can avoid hash urls using the HTML5 History API.

If you're not familiar with the standard Promise API and ES6, add babel and the core-js shim. This gives you things like block scoped variables (let/const), arrow functions, and the new class syntax. Start here. Most new frameworks and tools expect you to know modern JavaScript.

https://babeljs.io/docs/usage/cli/
https://babeljs.io/docs/learn-es2015/
http://exploringjs.com/es6/index.html

Eventually you'll want to start breaking apart your code and organizing it by responsibility/concern. You'll want to use ES6 modules and a tool like WebPack to resolve and bundle your modules all up for production. This also means learning how to configure WebPack to transpile your ES6 code using babel.

http://webpack.github.io/docs/tutorials/getting-started/

Now just focus on building out your project and cleaning it up. Maybe deploy it so real people are using it and you can get some feedback.

Once it's been out there and people are using it, plan a major new feature change or addition. This is where you might start feeling the pain points that are addressed by modern libraries and frameworks. When you do, start researching things like Vue.js, React, Redux, Angular 2, etc. Pick one and migrate/refactor your existing code into it before attempting anything new.

If you follow this approach, then your learning will be needs driven and practical, which keeps it from becoming too academic and uninteresting.
That automatically means no company can lay claim to stuff in space. When you read that Denmark, Russia, Norway etc. are laying claim to the North Pole (and more importantly, the oil underneath it), it pretty much means they are laying claim so they can offer the drilling rights to company X. However, since no one 'owns' space, it is impossible to grant rights. This does not mean that everyone can randomly lay claim to stuff in space, it means no one can. Although since no one can really effectively enforce the 'no-claim' part, there's no one to stop companies from doing so.

It'll get extremely interesting when a company of country A returns an extremely rare very useful element. Country A will of course lay claim to it, but according to the Outer Space Treaty all space exploration is done 'for the benefit of mankind', so other countries would be able to claim this extremely rare element (or its benefits) must be shared. That'd be hell of an interesting international law case.
That's only true as long as... automation actually takes human jobs for real instead of simply "displacing" jobs.

People leave out water vapor because, as you note, its concentration changes depending on temperature. It's an effect, not a cause. Emit lots of steam and you don't increase the temperature, you add to the rain.

Water vapor does amplify the climate effect of other greenhouse gases.
> Except when there are only two alternatives which is the de facto situation in the US right now.

Well, two candidates have a possibility of winning. The nature of first-past-the-post elections means that Gary Johnson or Jill Stein can still affect the outcome if their votes change the result.
> What I really don't about the EC is that policy becomes dictated by less than a dozen "swing states".

If it were a purely popular vote, candidates would only visit particular urban centers instead of particular states. It would be just as arbitrary and unbalanced, just in a different way.
>While I sometimes understand the bemoaning of top engineers spending time on trivial apps, sometimes those apps aren't as trivial as you would think when you consider how they positively impact loneliness.

Absolutely not. Abstracting a layer of communication, shedding it of any humanity, and lazily pasting over emotion with emoji, is hardly a 'cure' for loneliness. If anything it makes you feel more lonely.

Some Silicon Valley dipshit with a Macbook isn't going to solve loneliness with an app. Sometimes I wish Zuck just had a girlfriend who would have told him FB was a stupid idea and we would have never found ourselves 'here'.

I draw the line in 'social tech bullshit' at the phone call, at least I can hear the vocal inflections. Anything below phone call like texting is used strictly to meet up.

This is the United States. The President is chosen by the states. Each state may decide how its electors are decided. The number of electors is weighted to avoid more populous states from dominating less populous states; it's a balance between tyranny of the majority vs minority rule.
