Regarding vice presidency: there was the occasion when VP Spiro Agnew resigned, and Gerald Ford was appointed under the terms of 25th Amendment, and then Richard Nixon resigned, and Ford became the President. So it's not always a dead end.

And considering that Trump is a) hated by quite many and therefore a possible assassination target, and b) oldest president-elect so far, it's distinctly possible that Trump wouldn't serve whole term.

On the other hand, Pence should act as an insurance for Trump against the more militant left: should they assassinate Trump, they'll get Pence as president...

Well, the assassination doesn't sound that likely. Many speculated that Obama would be a target for the white supremacists and extreme right. We haven't seen any openly reported attempts.
Ohhkay. I think I start to see what you mean- in other words MVC is not supposed to describe an architecture in the sense of database-client or something like that but just a style where we attempt to separate concerns into business logic vs UI. And we encapsulate data in the classic object-oriented way where we always try to access the data through a set of functions which are written ideally so that no matter what inputs the functions get the data is never allowed to be in an inconsistent state, and the business logic goes in that layer so that the data never violates business rules / rules of accounting/ etc.
You seem to be asking if we're joining you?

The USA is a country of some 300 million people, and if you think the 20% of the country's population that voted for him somehow represents everyone here you're completely wrong.
This is very true.

There are very few new game series from Nintendo with rich worlds in them.

Wii Sports is just Miis put into sports settings.
Splatoon is just generic looking characters put into different arenas.
Animal Crossing is avatars put in farms or whatever.
Pikmin is just one generic spaceman and billions of little colorcoded plant people.

Nothing they make outside of sequels and spinoffs have much in the way of rich worlds in them. And even those are just reusing old content from earlier games. (Oh wow now we can have the tanooki suite again! Oh wow now we can play as a evil purple-colored baby version of mario!)

All the languages more than doubled on that period.
In other words, you see the resources being used in "targeting a specific population" as essentially infinite, not to mention that the extraction of them is without serious problems.

That's simply not the world I see myself living in; to quote Margret Thatcher, "The trouble with socialism is that eventually you run out of other people's money".

And for today's object lesson on that, see Venezuela, where those that are not pure money problems are inherent and unavoidable in the political process you're endorsing to "target a specific population". As shown by the very word target; in the case of Venezuela, replacing competent STEM types with politically reliable ones, 18,000 in the first wack, and then favoring current production over longer term investment necessary to maintain production levels.

What do you think most users get wrong when they do it "plug and play". What steps does reading the documentation have you do that makes it safer?
It is indeed. I had that misfortune and it is the most painful moment in my life so far. I cannot recall how many alternative scenarios I ran through in my mind, with the doctors - all the way from cutting edge medicine to the mystical. Nobody should go through that pain, but life deals you such cards once in a while.
> only people without money should be able to sue?

Is this what I said? No. But outspending a publication by an order of magnitude so that they either go bankrupt fighting you or lose the case is an example of how you can abuse the court system if you have way more money than your opponent. Its the same tactics large corporations use to sue small corporations in order to force them to settle regardless of whether they are right or wrong.

>> There are ways to get the tape removed without simply outspending the press to the point where they cannot feasibly fight your lawsuit.

> So this is Thiels fault, not Gawker? Gawker got away with a lot of shit before it was finally called on it.

Well yes, I see it as Thiel's fault because he wasn't a party to the case in any way but decided to give Hogan a blank check to send a huge team of lawyers after Gawker. Even if that was perhaps fair game, they didn't have to sue for so much that they literally shut down the entire organization.

>> cases like this ensure that journalists will have to self-censor what they publish

> Yes, is that difficult?

Yes it is. Its not black and white so there will necessarily be cases in the gray area (cases that could be very important and in the public interest) where publications will say "we can't publish this because we only have $10 million and someone with $10 billion could sue us and we will lose simply based on lawyer fees." For example, see the woman who was sexually harassed by Trump but backed down from talking about it publicly after Trump said he was sending an army of lawyers after her. How can someone who might make say $50,000 defend herself against a multi-billionaire? So we get censorship for no reason other than fear of billionaires suing.

> I disagree, the degrees of freedom Gawker had were far too much, it didn't even try to be fair. What actual good did Gawker do?

I already answered this above but here is one series of examples: https://www.wired.com/2016/06/10-stories-exactly-need-gawker...

I don't agree with Wired that all of those were super important but some of them clearly are. For example, Buzzfeed removing articles that were critical of their advertisers, the first exposes of the Silk Road and The Armory, evidence of Greg Hardy abusing his girlfriend, etc.

SMS 2FA isn't safe at least, and even NIST is deprecating it. The rest depends on dumb implementations, like Paypal allowing 2FA bypass with a change of the login link, or Google allowing 2FA bypass of all of its other methods by forcing you to use a phone number as "backup", which is to 2FA what secret questions were to passwords (their Achilles's heel).
A third party can now pressure you to produce your secrets to verify who you voted for. This is not possible in the current system: as long as the final tally reports at least 1 vote for the person you claim to have voted for, no one can prove your claim wrong.

A lot of this was the motivation for writing the book we wrote on Docker in Practice [1]. The reality of implementing such a technology requires a combination of improvisation, technical nous, bluffing, and a willingness to work through the inevitable problems [2].

I've talked about the relative immaturity of Docker as a used system (outside of dev) [3] and am struck often by how rarely people understand that it's still a work in progress, albeit one that can massively transform your business. The hype works.

That said, Docker can work fantastically in production, but you need to understand its limits and start small.

Actually "they’re not sending their best" explicitly doesn't mean "Mexicans" (i.e all/any Mexicans). As such, that should be:

I think masondixon's point was bullying by the left, not by Clinton. Trump is in fact a bully, and at least some of his friends seem to be too, but that doesn't actually address masondixon's point.

And in fact I think masondixon is right. The left, taken as a whole, is more bullying to most people than the right is. You can argue that, if you're LGBTQ, say, the right is more bullying. If you're just a middle class person with no personal stake in the culture wars, though, the left says that you have to agree with them (and even use their words) or you're a morally bad person who may face ostracism or even lose their job. So for the majority of people, the left is more bullying than the right.

And, as masondixon keeps pointing out, this is all in the context of an election, so how the majority feels is directly relevant.

I think what you're miss is the safe harbor parts of the DMCA in the USA. They offer protection for any user generated content on the web provided the operators respond to DMCA requests within a certain time (24h?). Without these safe harbor provisions the idea is that the web would crumble under the weight of liability. Think about shared hosting companies, AWS, a public forum like this and then consider how much effort it would take to police the amount of content being created by users.

Again such a wrong headline. He did not say that at all. He pointed out specific ideas of Trump that he was against and those are the ones that any sane person would be against.

This article is from March 2015, and shows that the writing has been on the wall for quite a while. The "safe spaces" movement is a plague, and I am sick of it. I hold extremely diverse viewpoints which span the political spectrum. Socially liberal and fiscally conservative. How can liberals claim to be accepting of all viewpoints but, in reality, only accept those that align with their pseudo-personal-Utopia outlook? It's bonkers.

The point of my comment was that getting good testing is surely easier on humans than monkeys. Actually going in has to happen at some point - why not do this on humans that have volunteered? Cellular level investigations are obviously important but getting a wire in somewhere is not going to happen at a level this small. It will be image guided surely. X-ray would by my guess and hopefully MR but that obviously has its complexities as MR with additional wires isn't that straight forward. A decent MR DTI can help when you want to know where the fibres go, but as you say, the hardware/software division isn't quite so clear with live things.
Hi rubberstamp!

I disagree that this thread is "just nitpicking each other" - I think it's been both educational and civil. For instance, when masondixon learned that Reagan had a political career before his presidency, masondixon thanked dbmikus for pointing it out. It's hard to find that level of candor on an internet discussion board - and masondixon seemed to want a genuine dialog that was free of the ad-hominem attacks that he or she had apparently been experiencing on other sites.

In regards to your "argument", I don't find it convincing:

> My argument is you are as good as any statesman so long as you have a working brain.

I disagree. My brain works reasonably well, but I don't consider myself fit to fill the office of the presidency - for a wide variety of reasons. I have no understanding of large portions of the world or even of the United States itself. I don't know how economics works on a macro scale. Just as I would never hire a person whose brain worked well, but had never written a line of code to fill the most important engineering role in my company, I would never say that just because my brain worked well, that I would be a good statesman or a good choice for president of the United States.
That's kind of the point though. This abstraction seems doomed to be extremely leaky. Honestly, I'd rather just deal with them separately than be constantly fighting an API.
Historically it started with Reagan's zapping of the "'Fairness' Doctrine"

I've seen this claim before, but I'm unconvinced. Do you think that under the "Fairness" regime, things really were fair?

I'm thinking of the way that Gary Johnson and Jill Stein were treated by the debate commission, where fairness is claimed to be in effect.

> UK accepts because in such things they look after USA

I really fail to see how this is the "fault" of the US. This is literally one of the first things children are taught: "if all your friends went and jumped off a tall building, that doesn't mean _you_ have to", etc.

In practice, different places may want different approaches for legalization or not of such things, because of cultural or demographic differences. And that's perfectly OK, though may cause friction at borders.
On the other hand, the guy is obsessed with winning. He pulled off the craziest victory in a presidential election that anybody can remember. Now that he's there, I can totally imagine that he's thinking "not good enough, now let's be the best f-ing president! I'll show them!".

He got the keys, might as well try to do some of the things he promised and win again.

1. Systemic yeast infections are caused by gut dysbiosis. Gut dysbiosis is basically overgrowth of bad bacteria.

2. Migranes, bloating, brain fog, thrush all over body, bowel transit issues (too fast or slow), anxious

There is a medication that is sold OTC called Diflucan. It is magical if you have this problem. The only long term fix is stop eating food that makes the cell walls of your bowels disintegrate. The goal is for large proteins to remain in your intestines and not leak into your body and cause your immune system to attack itself.

Part of what leaks out is yeast cells that can infect different parts of your body. Candida is a bad Google term to use, because of the magical voodoo associations, but gut dysbiosis is well studied and found often in the immunocompromised (ie. AIDS patients).

More common than AIDS is that it is a chronic food allergy that goes undiagnosed for years and leaks to deterioration of the quality and accuracy of the immune response, paired with the leaking of proteins out of your gut. All fairly new science too so doctors still consider it voodoo.

Some foods make your gut leaky (alcohol, egg whites, sugar) and some cause the problems when they leak out (gliadin, casein, yeast). It is very complex if you rabbit hole it. In general it falls under neuroimmunology.

Leading Causes of death in the US

1) Cancer

2) Heart Disease

3) Medical Error

https://hub.jhu.edu/2016/05/03/medical-errors-third-leading-...

Analyzing medical death rate data over an eight-year period, Johns Hopkins patient safety experts have calculated that more than 250,000 deaths per year are due to medical error in the U.S. Their figure, published May 3 in The BMJ, surpasses the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's third leading cause of death—respiratory disease, which kills close to 150,000 people per year.
