"Where necessary to make a regulation of interstate commerce effective, Congress may regulate even those intrastate activities that do not themselves substantially affect interstate commerce" [emphasis mine]

> Considering that 99 percent of US meat comes from factory farms[1], there's little point in discussing other forms of farming.

First, that would only possibly be true if we constrained ourselves to meat production. The original comment I replied to specifically called out dairy, and it's partially what I was thinking of when I replied.

Second, that doesn't make sense because it's useful to discuss alternatives when discussing problems. Even if they aren't a feasible drop in replacement, that doesn't mean there aren't aspects that can possibly be encouraged. Also, it may help narrow the arguments and objections to the core problems people have. For example, is factory farming undesirable because animals are confined, animals are in pain, or because animals deserve a better lifestyle, where they can exist at least somewhat like they would in nature (i.e. do animals deserve not to be tortures in ways that are not just physical)? Focusing only on factory farming may yield reforms that address symptoms, not the problem.

Inaccurately aimed or qualified criticism leads to arguments from people who may agree in principle. It's counterproductive.

How do I delete/deactivate my account?

All of these incentives you listed are also doable in Py2k.
The question is whether this is how we want law enforcement to operate in our society.

And in the process of answering that question we should probably ask, "is it working?"
And this is why I was inquiring!

I think the question is how you unambiguously measure spin-right or spin-left as existing. Most experiments report only a stream on spin-up and spin-down measurements, inferring the original superposition.
Is python's upgrade difficulties from 2.7 to 3.x due to being interpreted rather than compiled? I feel like the types of problems seen in a non compatible upgrade are exactly what I consider easy problems in Java. Look for the compilation issues, fix them, done.

In Java I am largely talking about library upgrade issues because Java made the decision to remain language backwards compatible. Something that has it's costs but also some real benefits. See Linux and it's promises to never break user space.

You assume that a key pair is (publicly?) associated with an individual. I can generate a key pair, sign something (publishing the public part of the key, but not the fact that it was me owning it), then discard the key pair.

How will you associate the public key to me?
Heh, I have the opposite problem with Prompt - none of my OpenSSH packages are new enough to use the new format, so I can't cross-reference with a known-good SHA-1 fingerprint. Turns out you can run

cut -d' ' -f2 /etc/ssh/ssh_host_ecdsa_key.pub | base64 -d | openssl sha256 -binary | base64

but this requires actually being on the host (and isn't useful for servers where you don't get a shell).

In a sense, he did win big. He cleaned up on winnable states.

It would take an exceptional, once-in-a-generation, beloved Republican to win states like California, New York or Massachusetts, and I don't think Trump even tried there. Just the margins of victory in those three states are around 1/12th of Clinton's entire vote total.
Thanks for that! I looked it up and just subscribed to the mailing list. Looks quite interesting.
Do people use something different than github to host Ruby projects these days or is Ruby really declining so fast?
Yes, this is bad. It goes against human rights, freedom of speech, globalisation and many of the principles of the free world.

We know this because it is what the media is telling us everyday 24/7. And there is no way that intelligent and decent Chinese people support this, right?

Whoever that support such censorship which clearly violates the principles that we hold so dear must be uneducated and uninformed deplorables, right?

Oh now I see that you are being sarcastic and I am offended, let me give you a lesson on freedom of speech by downvoting you.
I'm Irish. Our immigration story in the US worked out pretty well.

You're the one bringing the term "underclass" into the discussion. I'm a Democrat: I think what we need is a path to citizenship for people who have proven themselves productive members of our society.

What I don't see is a rebuttal to my argument, which is that demography strongly suggests immigration is a net economic benefit to the country.
You need the voting system to be end-to-end verifiable.

The secrecy of the vote must be preserved, meaning that not even the servers can know, at any step of the process, that voter A voted for option X.

Voters must be able to verify that when they choose option A, option A is correctly coded into their ballot.

Voters must be able to verify that their ballot is included in the tally and that their ballot is unmodified.

Anyone must be able to verify the process of mixing/anonymizing, decrypting and tallying the ballots.

So it's not easy at all because the requirements are quite contradictory. But you can do it with mixnets, for example, using them in a similar fashion as Tor. That's the way Scytl or nVotes do it :)

"Trump is now casting a shadow over the tech industry’s use of high-skilled foreign labor. "

Yet another rabidly anti-Trump article from Vox media. No surprise. But really? "high-skilled?" One of the biggest complaints I hear from the tech industry is about rampant abuse of the H1B visa program and (in many cases) the low quality of work it continues to bring in!

"it’s uncertain whether he’ll heed the advice of Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg and others to allow more foreign-born computer scientists and software engineers to fill US jobs."

How is this a bad thing? Is there a huge problem with trying to fill those jobs with American scientists and engineers first?

"and that tech companies will “have to go through more hoops to prove there’s not an American that can get the job.”"

Again, can someone explain why this is such a huge problem?

"The CEO of Google, Sundar Pichai, is an immigrant. As are Google co-founder Sergey Brin and Microsoft chief Satya Nadella."

Yes, but were they H1B hires? I don't think so.
Signal is atrocious for security. You literally log in with your phone number. Anything you send is directly and irrevocably tied with your physical identity. What good is to me that the messages are encrypted? When the police come knocking, either I'll decrypt them, they'll beat me until I decrypt them, or I'll die in prison for not decrypting them. I do want my messages encrypted, but more than that I really want them not tied to ME.
[1] is from 1948, but [2] is definitely worth looking into. 83 ballots isn't widespread fraud unless it's happening a lot, everywhere. Maybe it is! But it would require a massive and very disciplined conspiracy working at many levels across the country. To me, the burden of proof lies on anyone claiming there is such a conspiracy.

(Trump complained of a vote-rigging conspiracy, of course, but unsurprisingly he shut up once he actually won. He changes his position too often to be credible.)

Now that those "literature" correlates with my feelings, suddenly i can appreciate its self-evident scientific value. I wish there was a way to take back all those comments on psychology/sociology papers i posted on hacker news.
I developed what I thought was carpal tunnel. I went to the doctor and had xrays. They said they could see nothing wrong. I was in serious pain. I switched to a trackball, and I did experiments with my desk height, keyboard, monitor height, standing desks, posture, yoga, stretching, sleeping with braces, cold and hot compresses...

I'm ashamed that I debug computer programs for a living but I couldnt figure it out. In the same year, I had started using a machete to chop soft wood pine trees down in my new backyard. I didnt own a chainsaw and it was hilarious to me the method. There was enough delay between the activity and pain that I never figured it out.

My wrists started to feel after a year or so of not doing this ridiculous activity. How did it finally click? I randomly chopped one straggler tree down that I had missed, and a week later was back in agony.

So, really step back and try to look at the big picture. Sometimes we can be blind.

Things aren't so simple. A tax (tariff in this case) negatively affects both sides of a transaction. The effect on our side is then mitigated because the money from that tax lets us reduce other taxes in our own country.

So yes, in the end it does work out to be a penalty to the origin country.

The only local harm relates to marginal utility, but this is offset by the benefits of national security and improvements to the mix of different types of employment.
We agree. Could you remind Trump's racist fringe of supporters of that?

In regards to 2, for most Americans, it's probably a fairly trivial* matter to infer who they voted for. For a large number, almost their entire lives are digitized in some form or another. I wouldn't be at all surprised if a modern AI could deduce your voting preference just using your public data.

EDIT: *In retrospect, "trivial" is probably vastly understating the difficulty. However, I still don't think this is a "hard" problem.
Well sure, I would hope so- if copying and pasting from one LibreOffice application to another didn't work that would be an even worse state of affairs.

It seems people sometimes forget China is still an extremely authoritarian state. 2 of my good friends moved here from China a few years ago, they never want to go back, there's very little freedom.

I often wonder if laws like these will pressure people not directly affected to do something about it. Then I remember how so much of history was caused by people doing nothing, and I suspect that will continue to happen into the future.

Long term, I don't see China giving up control of anything, only getting tighter restrictions. I just hope this doesn't result in too big a war in the future.

In order to verify a signature, you'd need to know the public key of the person who signed the vote. At least that's how I understand it.
I do use venv, I have one for each version of ansible. 1.x, 2.x and dev.

But what do you mean when you say your system uses 3.5? Yes of course the system python can be 3, or 2 simultaneously but ansible still requires python 2 to run.

And I haven't tried this but I'd assume lib ansible can't be used by python 3. Maybe you can confirm.

Here's a little Swift Cookbook to get more of a flavor:

There is a trade-off about Gmail:

They pay a large expert security team to work hard on security all the time (including both mitigating attacks on Google's own infrastructure, and detecting sophisticated phishing attacks against Gmail users).

They pay a large expert legal team to work hard on legal issues all the time.

They're so popular that metadata analysis actually starts to get difficult a lot of the time.

They attract a lot of attention from governments. Governments have put resources into figuring out how to request data from Gmail. Gmail fights many of these requests vigorously, and ends up complying with many of them.
Thanks for the feedback. I think that is a fair response and gives me something real to think about.

However, someone just flagging it so others can no longer comment on it isn't very productive. That is what bothers me about it.

I can totally see your point of view on this particular story.
I don't know who in the thorium boosters' club started the "light water reactors were meant for weapons plutonium" meme but it's nonsense.

To quote "Technologies Underlying Weapons of Mass Destruction",

Reactor-grade plutonium recovered from civilian reactors differs from weapon-grade plutonium in the relative proportions of various plutonium isotopes. Reactor-grade plutonium has a higher rate of spontaneous fission reactions than weapon-grade, generating neutrons that can initiate the nuclear chain reaction during weapon detonation sooner than would be optimal. As a result, using reactor-grade plutonium in a first generation nuclear weapon can significantly reduce both the predictability and the expected yield of a weapon designed by a proliferant state.

None of the states that have either made nuclear weapons or attempted to do so appear to have selected anything but high-quality plutonium or uranium for their designs. Nevertheless,
from a technical perspective, reactor grade plutonium can be used to make nuclear weapons, and any state possessing significant quantities of separated plutonium should be considered to have the material needed to fabricate nuclear components for nuclear explosive devices in a short period of time.

http://www.au.af.mil/au/awc/awcgate/ota/9344.pdf

If you want to seize on the part where it says that one could build bombs from civilian reactor waste even though it's less straightforward and no nuclear weapons state has ever done that, then I'll point out that the thorium fuel cycle likewise could be used for bombs even though no NWS has ever taken that path (Quoting LANL's "Thorium Based Power Systems and Relevant Safeguards Considerations"):

Thorium is not safeguarded until it is converted into fuel materials. It would seem that if the starting point for uranium safeguards is moved up and thorium begins to play a larger role in the global nuclear establishment, then thorium safeguards should move to the equivalent point in the thorium fuel cycle.

Unlike thorium, U-233 is subject to stringent safeguards. An SQ of U-233 is only 8 Kg, the same as plutonium. U-233 is a highly desirable weapons material despite any practical U-232 content. According to the material attractiveness studies done at LANL, PNNL and LLNL, the additional dose from U-232 decay products is insufficient to stop a determined adversary. While it may be somewhat beneficial to physical protection, the dose rate is not high enough to incapacitate workers. Dose rates can be greatly reduced with shielding and military personnel handling a fabricated weapon should be able to have reasonable dose rates using established techniques. For example, the pit can be stored in lead shielding and only placed in the weapon immediately before use.

http://permalink.lanl.gov/object/tr?what=info:lanl-repo/lare...

The actual military lineage of civilian LWRs is that the US Navy developed pressurized water reactors fueled with enriched uranium to power vessels in the 1950s, starting with USS Nautilus. That variety of reactor had the fewest unknowns when the civilian nuclear industry first developed in the US and the path dependency effects continue today.
That's a personal choice and, even then, you really can't be sure. Someone might be a Dem in public and vote Rep in the privacy of the booth. I'm sure this happens a lot more than you think.

It's been a few years since I took the tour, but I think the staff largely did just kind of get up and walk away. People stuck around for a few days but slowly stopped showing up as they realized there wasn't any need to hide in the bunker anymore. This allowed the bunker to be preserved largely as it looked while in-use, which was my favorite part to see.
