I considered that but worried the comments might get unruly. But perhaps I'm prematurely optimizing :)

Does anyone know a good way to do this with MediaWiki? (I'm new to the platform)

Is the Comments extension a decent way to go?
"The world has known only ONE model of peace (yes world peace, look at the metrics), and that is globalized trade, take that away and we'll be back at each other throats."

This seems ripe for a reference request. When has there been either globalized trade or a period of sustained world peace? I'm most definitely skeptical, and would happily be convinced otherwise.
H1-B is simply another vehicle for general immigration, and one that guarantees you are immigrating the best and the brightest of other countries. Your battle is with Wipro and Infosys, not the H1-B program.
>> You just have some hatred against this visa.

Jobs are a bedrock social justice issue in the United States. You're free to characterize me remarks however you like, but I'm pretty sure that the fact that 60-80% of H1-B visas are issued to citizens of only two countries is a sign that the program has been hopelessly corrupted.
You commie! Nazist!

not insulting btw just describing your opinions :^)
>> written by your typical one trick pony, technology averse client services agency.

You can be forgiven to have that perception. Sorry, but that's not true.

>> They are the last to adopt new things

Are you actually complaining about this? Well it just shows your immaturity as an engineer and your lack of understanding of how tech startups are run. This is something my very first manager drilled into me on my first job a decade ago, as should yours have - not to use any v1.0 software for ANY CLIENT PROJECT, but only for your hobby projects. Wait atleast for a v1.1

>> as they tend to be the lowest on the talent chain as meeting estimates

Please don't embarrass yourself. There are comments on this thread from the maintainers of both docker and kubernetes projects as well as people who have been running docker in production for much longer than us. None of them think that this article is stupid. Now, if you think you're more talented than us and all of them combined, just tell us why?

Your comments would be much more useful if you could say something like -
"They are so stupid because they couldn't figure out X which was as easy as doing Y."
I think absolute ratings for restaurants in general tend to be garbage, since a rating is skewed to the average expectations of the guests.

The 5-star McDonalds may be a really good McDonalds that's very clean and consistent, but the $50/meal ocean-side bar only has 3-stars because the steak is sometimes rare instead of medium-rare. People are rating relative to their expectations of the restaurant, so someone who doesn't share those same expectations will be confused that a dollar cheese burger is 5 stars but a prime rib steak is 3 stars.
I do understand capitalism, the point I made was that sometimes I don't have to like it. Scalping included.

I don't need to prove my knowledge to you by pointing out lots of capitalism's flaws. Instead of reading my comment carefully, you decided to teach me about how basic supply and demand operate. Jesus, you are a self-absorbed piece of work.
Bubble burster bot. Identify cliques with few "outside" connections, that talk about politics on a social network. Start engaging both groups with content "acceptable" to both of them. Continue until direct connections are formed and move on. "Content" can be trivial - like finding a link posted by one person and responding "similar to this, right? <link to other person's post including related link>"

Potential risk: choosing bad content could cause more conflicts than new connections.

Why not done: just came up with it, also unlikely to be profitable unless you get a research grant for it.

Not really. Most of the population is near the middle and doesn't care how you label them. People on the fringes are loud. That's all you're hearing.
A Reddit alternative where the ranking for posts was personalized to each user. The ranking would be based the similarity between the voting history of the people who've voted compared to your own voting history. Think Netflix recommendation algorithm for Reddit.
> Why doesn't Nintendo just raise their prices to where supply equals demand?

"Raise prices" is not the solution to all of life's problems.
If if you want to pedantic, all images are by definition 2 dimensional and can only appear 3D
A mood indicator for every person within a nation. Takes into account technical know how and intent to thwart. Think of everyone from people who dont even use phones to a SF techie. The goal is to share in parseable data what is important to you on a daily basis (or as often as you like) so that sentiment is not a surprise to fellow countrymen or governments, advertisers, entertainers etc.
>> If he does want "protectionism to lead to higher wages for Americans", why is that wrong? The purpose of any government is to advance the interests of its own citizens first and foremost.

Yes, this is exactly what I want. This is social justice for American workers.

>> If the people or their representatives decide to limit the flow of foreign workers, that is their right and that right supersedes any non-Americans privilege to come here.

Exactly. I've never spent a single day in India and I wouldn't dream of telling the Indian people how to run their country, nor would I tell them that acting in the best interests of their citizens is somehow wrong.

Yet with H1-B, I feel like huge corporations and foreign nationals are exploiting the system in a way that produces profoundly unjust outcomes for American workers.
Docket: https://www.pacermonitor.com/public/case/19780738/World_Ches...
Articles regarding initial filing:
http://www.law360.com/articles/860896/world-chess-files-4-5m...
http://abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory/chess-lawsuit-set-moves-f...

Someone else with PACER access could easily obtain the order, but from the ABC article the argument is indeed that every visitor to the site agrees to not share the move information and therefore these other chess sites must have violated said agreement to obtain the move information. Chessgames's defense is that they don't get the data from the site, but instead from watching people on Twitter (there are multiple defendants though).
Ahh, it's one of those datacenters that only give you ethernet? I know some will let you bring in POTS/DSx/whatever else, but they can be a little uncommon.

My point was though, if it's as bad as you describe, an international phone call to the server would probably be cheap enough to work.
Also, it uses Linux containerisation features, like Docker does. But is quite different to Docker:

A voting system for websites based on "liquid democracy"[0], where a pagerank like algorithm is used to let a person assign votes to others. The catch is this system would deliver personalized scores so each person sees a personalized ranking based on the votes they cast rather than an average of everyone's votes.

The idea is that people get a "bubble" but that when people vote, hopefully they take into account both quality and how similar the post is to their own. So people get a better version of their own views, which hopefully also allows them to see similar but non-identical views.

You can see that sites like reddit which tend to have high quality posts, but many subreddis have very strong biases as well. Letting people live in their own bubble means that people can write the best quality posts they can without worrying if their bias matches the subreddit they are writing in.

It's not about being right. It's about whether the Democratic party, as it stands today, has the guts to aggressively take on Trump and Republicans, and I think history has shown us that they do not. So, the Democratic party, today, is a party that people don't really like all that much, and has mostly driven straight down the middle when Republicans push extremist right wing agendas. So, over and over, when the chips fall, the result is far to the right of center. And, Democrats congratulate themselves on their willingness to compromise (unlike those awful Republicans, who are just so stubborn).

Even when Republicans haven't owned all of the branches of government (which is the state we've now found ourselves in), legislation has ended up tilting to the right...because for all their flaws, they know how opposition works, even if you don't have the majority.
My parents are in this very position, having bought a condo in Vancouver to live in part time. Their principle residence is in a small town in the BC interior. They're pretty upset about the tax, and it's not hard to see why.

They could declare the condo their principle residence, but then they would encounter complications regarding their vehicles, which are typically not used in the city. (They prefer transit, and trucks don't fit into condo parking spots well)

They aren't participating in property speculation and have owned the condo for around 5 years now.

So, I think they are a good example of innocent, well meaning actors who are being unfairly taxed by a law that is well-intentioned but not quite properly formulated.
Very much this. This should be prologue to any introduction QM book/class/whatever.

---

Building on this idea, "an electron can be both states at the same time" isn't necessarily the right way to think about it.

I mean, it's sort of right, but relies on an intuitive understand of what the heck that even means. And QM reality is grounded not in our human intuition, but in the math of wave functions. If we associate "state up" with a wave function concentrated one way and "state down" concentrated the other way and "both states" as a mixture, then okay. We give foreign concepts familiar descriptions all the time. (Like, maybe, telling someone that a byte is a letter...it's kind of true, for some concept of letter.)

But the true fundamentals of QM are not particles or waves or discrete states, but wave functions and Hilbert space.
I have wanted to build a chat bot that acts as a counselor. I am quite sure it could be created with enough training data or at least be used for training. But it is difficult to convice anyone else that it's a good idea.

What Every Programmer Should Know About Floating-Point Arithmetic
That's the future of education, we need to get rid of this centuries-old model where students are passively learning. Schools are acting as the gateway to knowledge like in the old days when you had to travel to libraries and amphitheater to listen to lectures because that was the only way to access knowledge!

In the meantime, the Internet came up and anyone can access an infinite amount of information and knowledge. Workers need to be able to learn by themselves, be able to retrain and retool. Any good Software Engineer is already doing this, constantly learning new stuff to stay on top of their game, that will be true for any type of worker.

SemVar is alive and well for hardware, every revision is incompatible with the previous.
Study[1] after study[2] has analyzed this. You wouldn't know it if you watched enough news, but you are currently living in a period of sustained world peace (unless you live in a localized regional conflict) and trade is fully globalized. In fact, most of the war-torn regions in the world are ones that are economically estranged. We don't think twice about bombing the shit out of Syria because..who cares, it won't affect us. But we dare not do so with China, they buy so many government bonds! The average citizen doesn't actively think about this, but I assure you your government is (even if unconsciously).

If you really want to boot from an SD card, try putting it in a standard USB card reader. Booting from USB mass storage has been supported for over a decade in BIOS, well before UEFI.

Otherwise, if you want to actually integrate a driver for an internal SD card reader (which isn't a USB one) into the BIOS, then an Option ROM (INT 13H hook) would be the way to go.
I always wanted to build an indoor navigation system for a phone. Large office buildings, hotels and especially department stores can be hard to find stuff in and you have to rely on navigation signs of inconsistent quality.

I couldn't build it because I a) lack hardware expertise to figure out tricks to navigate without GPS or/and map buildings and b) never figured out a realistic GTM for this.
>> afternoon briefing on in a meeting room and then kinda wing it on implementation

I don't know where did you get that impression from. The article clearly states we ran docker in PRODUCTION for 6 months. The article wasn't written after a docker trial over a weekend.

>> How much you actually read the documentation will be immediately and plainly obvious and inversely proportional to the amount of problems you run into.

Pretty much everyone who's commented here and have had docker experience in production, agrees that a docker documentation sucks. Maintainers of the dockers project have already conceded that this is an issue so I don't why you're saying this.
Again, you can tell me till you're blue in the face that "debate of ideas, argument, and discussion", or "having you own opinion on an issue, that isn't popular or that offends" are some how equal to inciting violence, or threatening physical assault... but I won't accept it. Ever.

People are not buying this.. they are rejecting it soundly because accepting this premise gives tacit approval to regulate speech, something American culture will never accept, or should never accept in my opinion.

Liberals are willingly accepting this in many places, such as college campuses for example, where it seems harder and harder to avoid the safe space mandate to follow approved groupthink.

I'm not talking about banning free association for those groups that most desire the safe spaces. I'm saying.. those groups, or anyone shouldn't be allowed to deem the entire University (or other shared space) their private safe space and bar others from exercising their rights to free speech and free association.

If the left doubles down with this nonsense, they will push people further away.

good question, going through these ideas I keep in mind: "The winds of change originate in the unconscious minds of domain experts. If you're sufficiently expert in a field, any weird idea or apparently irrelevant question that occurs to you is ipso facto worth exploring." [0]

1/ So the idea I haven't done is build a hacker search engine. I'm not sure what this would look like, but I'd bet being able to search through source code at high/low levels might be interesting.

2/ Another idea is I noted on the the Amazon/NES classic thread, arbitrage by Amazon/users resulting in instant sellout. Could this idea be used somehow?

Inverse Commerce -

Customers simply type what they want. GPS locates the customer. Companies submit reverse bids both manually and algorithmically. Customer accepts what suits them best. Yay, money saved, time saved, customer happy.

Specifically, I don't have enough experience building android apps to make it as slick as I would like. Happy to talk with anyone about it. Can build back end, will travel, etc :).
I'm truly sorry if my comment affected you negatively, it wasn't my intention. I used to be an econ tutor and sometimes my urge to just type my thoughts that way comes out and I regret that it sounds like lecturing.

Anyways, why do you think that, given all that, scalping is a bad thing then? Isn't getting the goods to where they're valued most a good thing? Who's getting heartbroken here? The people who can't afford one at the market price of $600? But most of them weren't going to get one anyways because of the limited supply. If there's something to not like it's the scarcity, right?
Couldn't this simply exacerbate the very problem of echo chambers in social media?
I want to build a meta-layer that sits on top of basically every cloud platform be it dropbox or facebook. The best one sentence pitch I can come up with is "A dashboard for your online life" it should ideally do things like present all your storage as a single filesystem, present all your social networks as a single feed, and beyond that allow interactions between services like saving an image from your social network to storage as easily as moving a photo from one folder to another on a local machine. I want to commodify all these web sites and make them as easy to script as bash.
That'd be the US government's version of acceptable free speech. You can't just start a legit business with VC backing that allows terrorism and child pornography. And it gets more and more expensive to run the service the closer to the line you allow.
Also: agent forwarding.
I've thought about something like this. Sort of Sid Meier's Civilization but more of a focus on governance and policy as opposed to war. I have the time and the programming chops to pull it off, just none of the artistic skills to make anyone want to actually play it as always been my mental roadblock.
Why? Because bitching at Nintendo is not a review of the product. Obviously.

I was trying to build a clean static system I could use as a bootstrap to build clean packages from. Ran into trouble with things like coreutils, util-linux, and fakeroot. Making things harder is that I'm building everything against musl libc because glibc doesn't handle static linking well (and also because I don't like glibc).

I'm thinking a better strategy might be to use some other host system with pacman to build a base system of clean static packages, then use pacstrap to get this system up and running.
I had an idea a few months ago that I liked a lot - a drop-in service for Amazon-style recommendations for your web app. It was going to be Stripe-like in ease of use, where you could just drop a lib in and start getting recommendations immediately.

On the service-end, it would have basically been an Apache Spark instance doing collaborative filtering as data comes in. It seemed like a pretty sweet idea, but I couldn't find the time to work on it.

If this seems like a cool idea, you should definitely steal it and start working on it.

Related to this -- I wrote a blog post about a lot of my random ideas I haven't finished and why you should steal them. Complete list and blog post here: https://kristianfreeman.com/post/steal/
I think that is a great idea, and perhaps not unlike what the Semantic Web was possibly intended to enable. But it seems not to have been very successful. Or am I mistaken?

SEO for 2017 – Four Things to Know
one of your earlier comments can be paraphrased to "round em up and throw em out" and i am a fascist :)?

just answer this - is this what you propose: a H1b guy had been here 8 years, greencard is in process 4 years, scheduled to come in 2 more.. you want him fired and sent back home right away?

btw, i run a business. when you hire and do it right - you hire for value produced and then consider cost of worker. as a consumer you want the best prices. but you are not comfortable with how the market will ensure it delivers your want, especially in your field of work.

crawling out of woodwork refers to the closet trump supporters who did not speak up until now, there are plenty and you will see plenty more. like the guy whose comment i replied to originally. 47% and trending upwards.

trump has used extremely skilled techniques to mobilize crowds and influence people - even very intelligent people. he will continue to do so, since mob momentum is very very hard to fight against.

whether you realize it or no, its not about specific issues anymore because each of them is small by itself. you said you are gay, so just wait your turn after the H1b dudes, mexicans working fields producing our food and a few others are dealt with.

Google Cardboard video is going to be unpleasant and not representative of an actual VR video experience. The fidelity for Oculus Rift or Vive 180 degree videos are quite large, around 8GB or so for a half hour. They've been perfecting the technique as well, which normally involves very up close and personal scenes, POV stuff because the fidelity makes looking at objects far away look very aliased even at very high bitrates. That said, the experience is shocking in how compelling it can be. A lot of it is up to the skill of the people making the video right now. There's a lot of experimentation but I think VR porn will be a big deal as resolutions increase and bandwidth get cheaper.

"iPlantTrees - kind of tree sharing. You want a plant, post location."

the secondary market here is you search by tree and find fruit/seeds/nuts. A more generic, iPlant would also show vegetables/crops and hook this up to seasonal sales.
