Hey Alex,

Thanks for leading this. I can't wait to play with and hopefully integrate this into our project at http://itsme3d.com - it seems like Christmas has come early this year.

I do have some advice for you, though: you need to tell the story. In that story, you need to start with why.

https://youtu.be/IPYeCltXpxw?t=15s

While your GitHub README.md is better than the project's homepage, both currently fail to answer the most basic questions about Whitestorm.

- is this for me? am I the target audience?

- what is the reason this exists? what are some real use cases? is this an experiment, a hobby or something I'd use in production?

- how hard is this? what is the minimum viable amount of time/energy required to get started?

- one of my favorites... "what tool I use does this replace or improve?"

- is it ready today or should I come back later?

- what is the cost? (don't assume everyone "gets" open source)

More significantly, I believe that every project should start with the origin story. Who are you, what problem did you have, how did that turn out, how did things evolve to get to the iteration in front of me? Why was this problem so important to you? Make it personal. Use "I" and "my". Talk about your goals and ambitions. Don't use "we" or terminology that is designed to make you sound more legit. Software is designed by people and people make decisions based on shared values.

Make sure that your plugins are well documented. Make sure that your examples are plentiful. If you have time to write an example then you have time to write a few lines about what this particular example is showing me. Also, something nobody does but I wish that they would is to use comments to tell a story and mark off sections that differ from the boilerplate template and explain what you did to make it work.

The hardest part of launching and promoting an open-ended platform is that there's a tendency to tell people it can do "anything they can imagine". The problem is that they have no constraints on what's possible and most people are not intuitives so they only see things as they are instead of what they could be. You need to give them just enough lightbulb moments that they start to learn what's safe to imagine is possible with your software.

When you create a platform you have to give people a path to happiness and success that calms their reptile brain and gets them excited to be a hero. The burden of proof that they should trust your software for the long haul is on you.

Keep up the great work.
But solar/wind is good reason to. I was amazed at how low the energy payment time for solar is - 0.5-1.5 years. With span of 20 - it gives 10 EROEI ... that is respectable. Not as oil in eras past (1 to 100) but in line with current 1 to 13
> Which was what I said without the examples: as long as your freedoms don't take away from the freedom of others.

One could argue that living somewhere is a fundamental freedom. In a situation like this, when there are no places to rent, trying to force the empty ones to be available for rent is a way to ensure that fundamental freedom. The government -- in normal places, we are not talking Trump here -- is carefully evaluating the limitation of rights vs the freedom of others and they found this a good idea. Once again: if the voters disagree, they can protest and vote.
I hate when this analogy is used for open source. It paints an image of these tools being critical but having to be maintained by "other professionals that professionally open source".

The major difference with software is that you as a developer can immensely help! When a bridge falls into disrepair, you can't just start pouring concrete yourself. But when you encounter a bug in open source, not only can you make a huge difference just by filing a detailed bug report, but you can even fix it yourself and possibly for everyone else.

>>To claim that Islam is somehow innately "vicious" or "barbaric" is just insulting.

First a question: Insulting to whom?

If you think it is insulting to Muslims, then I disagree. It may be offensive to some Muslims. Will criticizing Nazism be considered as insulting (to Germans)?
> On top of that, creators of these models seem to be tripping over each other to come up with more outlandish results.

Any evidence of that? Normally a range of scenarios get published and I haven't seen them get any more dramatic over the last 20 years. On top of that, many of the models have greatly underestimate the temperature increase.

>If I'm wrong, I'm also ok with the weather getting hotter. From a livable land mass perspective, the human race will be much better off with a warmer earth than another ice age.

You do realize that this will involve relocating massive amounts of our population and rebuilding all the infrastructure of coastal cities? We will also end up with a lot less good farmland than we have now to feed a growing population.

I'll happily admit I was impressed with his conduct with Obama this morning, and the victory speech Tues/Wed. However, you cannot deny that it stands in contrast to the Trump of the campaign trail. It stands in contract to the Trump of later the same day:

> Just had a very open and successful presidential election. Now professional protesters, incited by the media, are protesting. Very unfair! [1]

Let's not pretend his the victim of a vast media conspiracy to smear him. He has done patently divisive things: Promulgating birtherism, attacking Judge Curiel, attacking Megyn Kelly, the Muslim ban, the mexican-immigrants-are-rapists comment, the calls for mass deportation,...

The only prospect that gives me hope is a temperate, center-right Trump administration emerging from the miasma of this campaign, and working towards unity with his party, the democrats, and the country. I want that, I believe you want that, and I hope most of his supporters want that. For that to happen though, Trump has to be the one to work toward unity, to reach out to the groups he has inarguably alienated.

Although serotonin is well known as a brain neurotransmitter, it is estimated that 90 percent of the body's serotonin is made in the digestive tract. In fact, altered levels of this peripheral serotonin have been linked to diseases such as irritable bowel syndrome, cardiovascular disease, and osteoporosis.

Alright, who do you think he should have picked for you to say "not bad, that's a good choice?"
If someone told me that a certain truth is not useful, I would be inclined to disbelieve them. The basis of your argument seems to be "I can't think of any uses" but that can hardly be considered "the problem with articles like this". I can think of quite a few applications, but in many cases I have experienced, whenever relevant truths have been ignored, delusions have thrived.

Facebook is a distraction and a waste of time, like watching too much TV. Stop blaming Facebook and take a look in the mirror. Turn off your computers, put down your phones, and read a god damn history book for a change people.
Man... just wow. My immediate impression of this was how great the divide is on media between the left and the right. I don't know how much of this is attributable to standard ad targeting, some facebook interest algorithm or what, but man, the divide is huge.

My second impression here though is perhaps the more impactful -- most of what I'm seeing is just ugly, ugly headlines, and in both the red and blue columns. I don't know what I did right in my life that these headlines aren't currently the kind that I'm seeing in my news and Facebook feeds, but thank heavens I did it.

It's really no wonder that people are mad about things -- these headlines are basically begging them to be.
> better spent

Most people might think that except maybe the people with pre-existing conditions who were able to get healthcare.
I don't disagree with you, and I especially agree that it's worth giving him a chance. That said, there are examples where what he said was just as bad as it sounds:

* Calling for a "total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States until our country's representatives can figure out what the hell is going on."

* "The other thing with the terrorists is you have to take out their families, when you get these terrorists, you have to take out their families. They care about their lives, don't kid yourself. When they say they don't care about their lives, you have to take out their families."

* I actually disagree with you on this one. Here's the quote: "If she gets to pick her judges, nothing you can do, folks. Although the Second Amendment people — maybe there is, I don’t know." When I heard the audio of that, it sounded very much like he was talking about people taking matters into their own hands. It came across as a joke, but one in very poor taste. Still, I suppose it's conceivable that he's talking about something else, so give that one a pass.

* Then of course, "And when you’re a star they let you do it. You can do anything… Grab them by the pussy. You can do anything." Sure, that's not a public statement, nor a statement of policy. It's also not something I can imagine myself or one of my friends saying though. It speaks to his character.

That's just a few. He's not as bad as the media or (obviously) the Clinton camp portrayed. But he still seems plenty bad. That said, maybe he can still govern effectively, and maybe some of the change he brings about will be positive. I hope so.
As a Marxist, I actually agree with his point here. Of course he was being provocative but I don't think malicious, not by any means.

He did not mean women should not have been given the vote. And "welfare beneficiaries" actually doesn't refer to minorities there (although they'd be included among the beneficiaries of the New Deal).

What he said and meant, translated into Leftist language, is that it was clear by the 1920s that there was no longer any hope for resolving the crisis of bourgeois democracy. In other words, democracy and capitalism had become contradictory, incompatible. That's true, and had been true long before 1920, but the concept of history he articulates isn't totally incorrect. At least he thinks.

It is worth noting that the 1920s was also the decade when the German Left collapsed, all but sealing the fate of the October Revolution with it. Theil misrecognizes history when he blames the failure of the bourgeois revolution on politics, but he isn't wrong to recognize the importance of the bourgeois revolution. He just doesn't go far enough--only the socialist revolution could fulfill the promises of the bourgeois revolution (Great French Revolution).

I give a sort of point-by-point critique of his essay here:

You should google the history of the phrase "Made in Germany" (I'm German by the way)

Quote (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Made_in_Germany):

> The label was originally introduced in Britain by the Merchandise Marks Act 1887,[1] to mark foreign produce more obviously, as foreign manufactures had been falsely marking inferior goods with the marks of renowned British manufacturing companies and importing them into the United Kingdom. Most of these were found to be originating from Germany, whose government had introduced a protectionist policy to legally prohibit the import of goods in order to build up domestic industry (Merchandise Marks Act - Oxford University Press).[2]

They do fairly comprehensive land value + structure value assessments for property tax in many US states. Basically they collect data on every property like square footage of building, size of plot, age of structure, etc and do a regression based on comparables in the area where the real price is known. It's not perfect for every property, but is a fairly straightforward analysis. Individuals can challenge the model's output if it's too far off. The same method could easily be adjusted for rental rates.
Donald Trump does not have a 'Global Pac' wherein he was accepting money from thousands of foreign business people, and governments.

Donald Trump was not on the speaking circuit for the last few years, taking cheques from hedge funds and large banks.

Donald Trump received no endorsements from newspapers, and most of his party failed to endorse him.

Donald Trump own party apparatus worked against him.

Campaign contributions from Banks and Hedge Funds massively favoured Hillary:

But he's basically beholden to almost nobody, it's a totally unique idea in modern politics.
This is an awesome project, and the type of thing I hope we continue to see more of from high profile media outlets throughout the United States. Using data visualization to break down the issues that divide is an a very concrete way, and help expose our very fractured country to the range of voices yelling in their own echo chambers. Excellent work WSJ.

Frankly papers that lie through crafted contexts are much more dangerous because they give a false sense of authority due to their correctness at the micro level but incorrectness at the macro level.

Imagine I develope a newspaper that only reports crimes committed by a particular race and I excruciatingly fact check every incident and highlight when they are uneducated (but don't mention education otherwise). What will result is one of the biggest macro lies that will fuel racism through its broader message while everything will be perfect to a fact checker. This would rank perfectly in such a system while broader newspapers would get hammered for messing up picture captions and confusing Airbus A319s with 737s.

Help me figure this out. Romney earned $13.7 million and paid $1.94 million in taxes. That's 14% (1.94/13.7), but you're saying doesn't account for the charitable donations. So then the formula would be 1.94/(13.7-4), right? A 20% rate?

Logrole – a faster, finer-grained Twilio log viewer
About 4 years ago I was scanning my twitter timeline and I noticed someone posted a picture from a Leonard Cohen concert that night in Montreal. What?!? I hadn't heard anything about it and my heart sank. After a frantic search I found out he was playing the next night and I bought myself a ticket.

I went by myself, which is unusual for me when it comes to concerts. He played for 3 hours and needless to say, it was incredible.

During "Suzanne", the room (a hockey arena) was completely dark except for a spotlight shining up from below casting a giant shadow behind him. Combined with such a haunting song it made for one of the most beautiful musical experiences of my life.

Here's a recording of that performance:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R3pcPK4eXHQ

That turned out to be the last time he played here and I'm so thankful to have gotten a chance to hear him play his songs.

Way too many great lines to quote, but these ones comfort me:
"But you'll be hearing from me baby, long after I'm gone
I'll be speaking to you sweetly from a window in the Tower of Song"

EDIT: I found a video from a different concert that gives a better idea of what it looked like, though the link above is a better performance imo, + much better audio:

(also love the single comment, which I ran through google translate: "What is still the magic of this man? I am not a sentimental dragon, but it goes straight to the heart.")
Andrew Sullivan wrote a good piece a few months ago related to this [1]:

>What the 21st century added to this picture, it’s now blindingly obvious, was media democracy — in a truly revolutionary form. If late-stage political democracy has taken two centuries to ripen, the media equivalent took around two decades, swiftly erasing almost any elite moderation or control of our democratic discourse. The process had its origins in partisan talk radio at the end of the past century. The rise of the internet — an event so swift and pervasive its political effect is only now beginning to be understood — further democratized every source of information, dramatically expanded each outlet’s readership, and gave everyone a platform. All the old barriers to entry — the cost of print and paper and distribution — crumbled.

>So much of this was welcome. I relished it myself in the early aughts, starting a blog and soon reaching as many readers, if not more, as some small magazines do. Fusty old-media institutions, grown fat and lazy, deserved a drubbing. The early independent blogosphere corrected facts, exposed bias, earned scoops. And as the medium matured, and as Facebook and Twitter took hold, everyone became a kind of blogger. In ways no 20th-century journalist would have believed, we all now have our own virtual newspapers on our Facebook newsfeeds and Twitter timelines — picking stories from countless sources and creating a peer-to-peer media almost completely free of editing or interference by elites. This was bound to make politics more fluid. Political organizing — calling a meeting, fomenting a rally to advance a cause — used to be extremely laborious. Now you could bring together a virtual mass movement with a single webpage. It would take you a few seconds.

There's an interesting discussion to be had about this. It feels counterintuitive to say that more democracy and more equality is bad, but at least in media I think it's proving to be true. I think liberal democracy is going to be challenged going forward all over the world because of this and it may be difficult for many societies to stay that way.
