This presumes a simplistic model of the market that completely ignores the combination of regulations, tariffs and subsidies.

And, FWIW, Obama did favor natural gas.

Corporate oligarchs have always tried to make the results of their deliberate decisions and the candidates they throw money at sound like the inevitable march of progress. But it isn't. And this election was a repudiation of that.
Republicans and Trump are a red herring. The Paris Accord simply sets a goal. It does not tell how how to get there or commit resources to achieving that goal. Actually keeping climate warming to 2C is going to cost tens of trillions of dollars: https://www.technologyreview.com/s/527196/how-much-will-it-c.... No Democrat in the foreseeable future would have made that investment either. Participating in the Paris treaty is simply an empty feel good gesture.
> You've made the assumption that the supply status quo would exist without scaplers actively exploiting the market en masse, and I beg to differ...the difference is, as of this minute, I can point to over 5,600 reasons on eBay US alone[1] that support my argument.

The scalpers don't destroy the consoles any more than they create them. All they're doing is spreading out the supply over maybe a few weeks - they'll be pricing them to sell before the next shipment from Nintendo arrives. Or else they've made a mistake and are going to lose money for it, which is fine too. Maybe some scalpers are holding onto them for the Christmas rush, but that's just the difference between the console sitting on the scalper's shelf or sitting in a box under the tree - it makes no odds either way.

> You've clearly defined the value added in importing a product to a market where it's not normally sold: work which directly increases product availability.

Scalpers are just import/export across time rather than across space. If it weren't for scalpers there wouldn't be any of this console on sale right now, it'd just be sold out everywhere.

> Scalpers do neither and instead play an unaccountable game of double penetration: first by creating artificial scarcity in the market, then again by immediately relisting at 10-fold markup within the very same market they've negated.

I very much doubt the scarcity is artificial. Scalping is too competitive, too easy a market to enter, for anyone to be cornering the market.

> Irrelevant. You are, of course, entitled to your own valuation of the product.

My point is that it's yacht-like (or, sure, like a $60 trinket rather than a $60k one - let's say a Mont Blanc notebook) rather than food-like. No-one physically needs it, no-one deserves it at a below-market price.

> Nintendo--who has made real investments in and rightfully owns the IP rights to--on the other hand, has clearly valued it at $60 for its end user, profit markups at the OEM and authorized distributor levels included.

Nintendo (who FWIW are notorious for price-fixing and bullying retailers, "losing" shipments for those who don't cooperate) don't get to choose how much people buy or sell the products they own for; it's a free country. If Nintendo can really produce it for less than $60 then they should be selling it for $60 and making money. But they've sold all their stock, and the demand is still there.

The only horrifying thing about it is if it's viewed as a punishment for losing the election, that sort of thing quite reliably kills Republics.

This is the stuff we should all be protesting

Yes, I agree that this type of appointment deserves attention, but Republicans are completely in charge, and Democrats are not know for putting up a fight.

We're really screwed, because this is just the tip of the iceberg.

Imagine what happened during the Bush regime, then scale it up.

If you don't know what happened during that last Republican administration, here's a summary:

1. Statements by govt scientists had to be vetted by political appointees. Expect that to continue, because it's the same anti-science group that surrounds Trump.

2. Corporations were given free rein to do anything. The word regulation was taken out of their vocabulary. Expect more of the same. They're already talking about undoing the Dodd-Frank Act, which was put in place after the 2008 financial crisis.

3. Not a single anti-trust case was brought against any company. And this in an environment where these corporations where going gang-busters. This new gang is going to be even more "business-friendly."
Unless it's a campain aimed at destroying sales of it's competitors during Christmas season. Remember that announcement for a new console planned for March? That's a startup marketing thing too, right?
Matt Barnes vs. blazer fans
I don't think Wikipedia's version is entirely correct. I think generally the courts have refrained from getting involved; generally they don't want to be in the position of making national security decisions and defer to the President and Congress.

Also, it overlooks a major element, the War Powers Resolution, which IIRC was passed partionally in response to the Korean and Vietnam wars being fought without a declaration of war.
What a sad man.
It's worth pointing out that coal is not coming back. Far too much of industry has moved on and converted to natural gas based supply. Not to mention the costs of starting up coal mines and processing again. In the current energy market, it's rather unfathomable.
I've also heard a less vulgar version of "sorry outa luck", the other ones better though.
This must be related. Don't believe in coincidence of this level.

Never blame on stupidity what can be blamed on malice when power centres are involved.
> I'm beginning to think I should move to India!

Hm.. For you it will cost more than an Indian would.

Because we will label you as a tourist. So if we pay ₹100 for something we buy, you may be charged ₹200 or more.

Sorry. That's one of our income sources. :-)
This reminds me of James G. Watt- Regan's secretary of interior. He believed it was pointless to worry about the environment since the Lord's second coming was nigh.

I did a non-committing pre-order at a local retailer (Webhallen, Sweden - I love this feature of theirs, I think it is quite unique) the day it was announced because.. why not. They didn't have an idea what the price would be but later adjusted it down to the eventual local MSRP level.

Picked it up yesterday figuring that I could likely sell it (with a profit) in case I didn't end up enjoying it. But I think I'll hang on to it - or maybe turn it into a christmas gift for someone. It's a really neat little thing. The software has obviously been crafted with a loving attention to detail.

And the games themselves have more depth that I thought - having only experienced them briefly in various desktop OS emulators before, with lots of annoying small issues (like not having an ideal controller, sound issues, no easy/natural way to play them on the TV with nearly instant bootup time, etc).

Also, those ROMs I've heard (ahem) are floating around on the net tend not to come with these fantastic user manuals:

(I just wish they would have included them in some neat Nintendo-ish way in the main menu UX.)
"And ironically, the voters in Appalachia being courted are bearing the brunt of it"

By "bearing the brunt" you mean "having jobs"? Have you asked them whether they would rather have jobs or not?

Also, they know perfectly well that closing their coal mines doesn't mean that coal doesn't get mined and burned. It just gets mined and burned in other countries where environmental regulations are non-existent.

The simplistic "coal is bad" thesis has a) put a huge number of Americans out of work and b) made the global environment worse.
This is a great selection of interesting art.

They reminded me of a very contemporary version

Coal was regulated before concerns of climate change became mainstream because it kills people. The pollutants it releases poison people not just in the state where the plant is located, but in neighboring states.

None of the costs of medical treatment or loss of life were borne by the coal industry itself prior to regulation.
This kind of thing is what scares me most about a trump presidency (that and wondering what kind of over the top candidates are going to appear in three years to try and imitate his success) but I'm trying really hard to be positive and see a way out for the climate, and I only see two options

1. Green energy becomes so much more competitive than fossil that trump and his cronies have to do a 180

2. Millions more people worldwide are inspired to go green and start generating their own green power, through wind and solar technology like musks roof tiles.

Preferably both, otherwise it's goodbye civilisation in the next 50-100 years.

I have to try and be an optimist
> I'm not sure why everyone thinks Obama killed coal. Cratering natural gas prices are what killed coal. So short of artificially raising the price of nat gas, coal is not coming back regardless of who is in charge.

What the Coal industry wants is even more federal handouts. We already give them a ton of money to keep going on the grouds that it's a transition economy and a bridge for the US economy. But the Coal Industry is really damn greedy as a whole.

Even with high profile failures like Solyndra, in general green energy runs at a fraction of the cost. This of course hurts workers, because the labor involved is less well compensated as part of that cost reduction. However, as far as I can tell we're already turning the corner to where (for _generation_, ignoring environmental costs), solar and wind already outperform coal on a cost basis.

People who want to preserve bulk coal generation do so for ideological reasons. From a more "green" perspective, there are more important things we should be doing with our coal and natural gas then burning them to heat water.
The idea in for itself is actually quite nice, to protect and to serve a culture and the values in it. The problem is, human nature and the circumstances it creates in the short and long term are quite corrosive to culture and to the upholding of values.
You can try to enforce the honoring of the previous generations achievement, but if the previous generations has as core value "be fruitful and multiply", you will run into nr^2 < res <=> conflict.

The whole idea of discovering and searching for the new, allowing the unknown to prosper and co-exist - is based upon knowing, that the conservative approach to stabilize society is doomed to failure, as long as a surplus is not provided by a rather liberal scientific society.

Does this make dissent always meaningful? No, but if the peasant can not speak up to the chairman, how can the son of the peasant, speak up to the professor being wrong on fertilizer chemistry? Conflict avoidance in short term is just conflict concentration in the long term.
> The observation is typically used by scumbags in Scottsdale to trick women waiting for a 'ride' into getting into random cars, which is why the taxi company I drove for lobbied to force ride-vehicles to have some sort of branding.

I'm sure that the cost and bother to the competition had nothing to do with that lobbying effort.
> You're seriously saying that generically? All languages should simply have them? Not so sure you should dismiss the context like that.

Point me to a successful statically typed language born after 2005 that doesn't have some form of generics. Go has generics by the way, you just can define your own in user land, which is a stupid limitation.
If you combine the closest states, winning this election will be a matter of a few hundred thousand votes.

In 2012, the margin in several of the individual closest states was larger than that (and even larger in 2008).

Especially when you need the user to take an action: the API isn't well-formed (for example a mix of visual cues, text, and UX behavior) but at the end of the day if you give the user something to do (example: you want them to acknowledge and dismiss a notification or make a choice) there are multiple ways of doing it, some much faster and others much slower.

This is especially interesting when you need the user to deal with your bugs (e.g. errors of various kinds). It's not really part of what they're trying to do - you're the one that needs them to react somehow.

very interesting way of thinking about it!
This is not just affecting people without bank accounts. ATMs are unapproachable even now because of the insane queues. Some places require you to pay merchant charges for using credit cards. Transactions < 100 Rs cannot be paid for with credit cards. Some of us are better off because of credit cards, paytm etc, but I think most people are struggling.
> Uber plans to snoop on users' locations and contacts all the time. Uber has the technical possibility to do this because its app is nonfree: it is controlled by Uber, not by the user. In addition, snooping depends on a nonfree operating system.

> Uber requires customers to run a nonfree program (an app).

> The Uber app requires running other nonfree software (in the case of Android, Google Play).

These points are not strictly true. Uber may be used via the web interface [1] which can of course be used on a free operating system.

This scares the shit out of me. America what have you done?
This is the real power of POTUS that never gets properly addressed before the votes are cast. I took a moment to read Biden's Wikipedia page back in '08 and was struck how at odds his record was compared to Obama's promises. I still voted for them(the 1st time). Shortly afterward, Obama retained Gates & Geitner for his cabinet...same as it ever was. The Donald will continue to entertain and foment reactions, but biz will go on usual(perhaps worse, we'll see). We never really had much of a choice between the bankers' BFF and the used car salesman, they were selected before they were elected.
Exactly. The whole point of many government actions is to induce millions of private citizens to change their behavior. Continuing to contribute to carbon emissions by flying commercial or building energy-sucking data centers while claiming that it's a pending disaster is hypocrisy.
Are they consciously acting against their own best interests?

The private key is encrypted using your mailbox password (a 2nd password, not the login password) and that is not stored on their servers. So they only store and pass the private key encrypted.

So it should be secure enough but for sure, the implementation is still not perfect at all, especially if you want to communicate with non-protonmail users.
The thing is, for certain aspects of the story #1 is absolutely there already and other countries recongize this. Alternative generation brings new challenges (and less well subsidized jobs), but other countries are not collapsing their economy as they convert.

Only in an echo chamber will you find people who suddenly think taxis are somehow morally superior to Uber.

Sure, uber did some things wrong in the past, but Uber in 2016 is nothing like Uber in 2013-2014. The management has grown up and accepted the responsibilities is has towards its drivers and riders and takes it very seriously.

You don't hear the stories of how Uber pay drivers when they have outages or how happy most drivers actually are. Instead most people appear happy to vilify Uber for some weird reason.

But none of the continuous updates ever really changed the 538 numbers. The trump probabilities hovered right around that 30% mark ever since he clinched the Republican primary.
Thanks for the insight. Makes me understand what is going on "on the other side". Although the message is a bit sad. If you don't scream loud enough it doesn't get fixed.

Steve Jobs seemed to have an ear or the 0.1% :) I am pretty certain one (rare) OSX bug got fixed because I emailed him.
> We are SOL on climate change anyway

I understand that this is wrong, and I know it's part of the messaging campaign of climate change deniers (which doesn't make it wrong, but does raise questions about it). First they said it isn't happening, then it isn't caused by humans, then it costs too much to fix, then there is nothing we can do about it. It's just one fallback position after another.

Climate change is a problem of degree; it's not binary. It can be better or worse, depending on what actions we take. The global temperature can rise 2 deg or 2.5 deg or more or less. The sea levels can rise X feet or X+1 feet or more or less. Droughts and can be more or less long and severe. These are very significant differences.
I fully support the right for your country to enforce your laws, but realize that other countries may not share your perspective. I welcome deregulation in the taxi industry.

In the United States, taxi companies are too often more than a bit on the shady side, so I don't think this is a case of Uber being the bad entity.

Talking to taxi drivers in Chicago, I hear a lot of exploitation. American Taxi, for example, forces drivers to use their cc processing at 10-15% (if they don't, their dispatch magically turns off). I ask every driver about this and they all confirm.

For a little more color... It may not be the case anymore, but I believe Alvin Malnik controlled Palm Beach taxis for quite a while (trying to dog this up in the Florida business db, but on my phone right now). He was Meyer Lansky's attorney... Take from that what you will. Pretty sure he also was early in getting into the title loan business, so obviously a shrewd businessman that is comfortable with walking in the grey. I'd rather work for Uber.
> This is the stuff we should all be protesting.

I am fairly sure we can protest this AND ALSO protest Pence's promises w.r.t., rolling back federal protections for trans people, or Trumps ideological alignment with a militarized police and the danger to people of color that brings, or the now-returned promise to deport people at an unprecedented rate.

If the democrats are guilty of "not listening to the issues" presented by the tea party republicans that won this vote, then collapsing the current protests down into single issues is equally unreceptive. Trump has to be president both for the people who put him in power and the majority that didn't.
You don't have to go so far as "supremacy" to have one good explanation along these lines, unless it's axiomatic that it's racist and supremacist for whites, but no other group, to join the game of identity politics.

That could be what changed in the very people in the Rust Belt who voted for Obama in 2008 and then gave the election to Trump in 2016.

I don't consider it to exactly be a good thing (among other minor details, absent e.g. Trump building that Big Beautiful Wall, it will inevitably lead to civil war and ethnic cleansing), but I think it's hard to argue it's not inevitable, unless whites just collectively decide to commit suicide as so many are individually.

I don't think the parent was meaning you need more teachers. I think they were saying you need really strong teachers across the board to make this model work well. You need teachers who know their subject areas really well, and also how their subject areas fit in with other subject areas. You need teachers who understand people and communication really well. You need teachers who can make sure their subject area is not being lost or minimized in a context.

There are good models for this kind of education, and they require more of the adults involved in the process.
Why would they even do that? After you get a signing certificate, you can sign as many times as you want, so it's not like they're saving any money.
I've tried an emulation box with RetroPie and the controller drivers are hard to find (at least for xbox 360 wired controller), the controls are difficult to set up (requiring manual edits to config files, which you need to plug a keyboard into your rpi to do), the controls are glitchy after you set them up, and the interface is not intuitive at all. If someone has a better idea for pi emulation I would really like to try it.
Automated package building usually looks like this:

wget http(s)://... | tar x
make
package
sign_with_gpg
upload_to_ftp

Only if a package maintainer gets involved there is a chance that release signatures are actually verified. But even then, a whole lot of upstream projects just don't sign their releases. Some distros don't sign their packages, either. Or even their ISOs (iirc Linux Mint only started doing this fairly recently).

Also, "web of trust" only works for a tiny subset of people. If I'm a "lone wolf" FOSS developer, my key won't be signed by anyone, there won't be any WoT to verify. Downstream packagers just have to swallow that or TOFU.
