Fair enough, but I think the logic of the point stands.

We don't criminalize baking soda, we're just trying a Minority Report sort of approach to things that are likely to be used rather than playing catch-up with known-psychoactive analogues. Certainly the metaphor bit still applies - selling and importing these things are only banned because of their abuse potential, not because the chemical is seen as intrinsically bad.
I love this! There is no reason why the NYTimes can't be a media-tech powerhouse 10x what it is now.
As for access to voting, I think we could benefit from electronic or more mail-in.

Those, however, allow for vote buying and coercion, so I utterly oppose them.
Even just a small, yearly flat tax on copyrights, patents, and trademarks would be enough to discourage many people and companies from holding on to useless IP.

A lot of old books or music still under copyright will never generate another penny of income, but putting them in the public domain could let them be mixed or used as a foundation for new creative works.
The absence of standard widgets makes React awesome?

People compose an entire screen from built-in widgets because usable widgets and layout algorithms make this possible. If you are trying to build more complex screens, people in "classic desktop and mobile UI toolkits" also build own widgets.

Projects like Material-UI are finally dragging frontend development into the 1990s of "classic desktop UI toolkits", only the layout functionality is still sorely missing.
Key word, "may", Business Insider is speculating. Trump has made no public indication that he is for ending net neutrality, and, he has made statements indicating that he is no friend to companies pushing against net neutrality.
The desire to protect dogs/cats/horses over other animals isn't cognitive dissonance. Our relationship to certain species goes deeper than intellectual debates. We have evolved dogs from wolves, and so to have we evolved alongside them, to see value beyond meat. We have an instinct that protects dogs and cats because they are more valuable than food. They gather and protect our food. Pigs may be more intelligent, but they don't guard our doors at night and so we lack the same protective instincts. This isn't simple cognitive dissonance, but dissonance between modern intellectual values re intelligence and evolved survival instincts.
About 6% of spending goes to transportation. ~$150 billion.
Maciej missed the point I was making, but I'm not going to let the conversation continue to miss it.

No. There are young people in the United States who are citizens of this country by right. Children born in the US are citizens. They are not illegal immigrants. There are families that consist overwhelmingly of citizens who happen to have in the fabric of their families people who are here without a visa.

Those people aren't causing problems. In fact: they are a benefit to our economy --- according to the overwhelming consensus of economists both left and right.

Trump proposes to hunt those people down and deport them, solely to satiate the race-tinged fears of people who Trump himself has helped impoverish.
In terms of sentencing and bust structure, yes. Pursuing dealers is more effective (and cheaper) than pursuing users.

But I stand by the point of the metaphor, which is that we criminalize distribution because of use. If you couldn't use it, it wouldn't be illegal. So even when flipping users, the intent is to run stings without letting the primary 'event' of drug use happen. That seems like the key difference between drug stings and this sting.
Obama pushed hard for big spending on infrastructure from the start of his first term. Not only do we need it in general, but then it also would have greatly helped push the recovery from the recession along.

Republicans in Congress were able to block it until they took control of both Houses, and then it was effectively dead.

Do they really think Trump has a better chance of getting Congress to pass a large infrastructure bill? I haven't looked into it in great detail, but from what I have seen it doesn't look like the incoming Republican House and Senate are at all inclined to be looser with the pursestrings now.

Also, Clinton's plan also called for large infrastructure spending, although only about half of what Trump's plan calls for. That makes it hard for me to understand why a Democrat who voted for Trump would cite infrastructure spending as a reason.

So what's the alternative? Protectionism? The rest of the world will be colonizing Pluto while we are self-sufficient with furniture. Look at all these chair building jobs! Each chair only costs $45,000 each.

No, the US will never, ever be competitive with India and China on industrial labor even if we went laissez faire. We have to go the other way. Drastically reform and expand education and compete with Europe, not China. In other words, in order to maintain our standard of living, we need to be inventing and designing and leave the manufacturing and production to Asia. (Until the AI/robot game changer.)

The Democratic party did not have a right to the 2016 election. We knew the bench was thin coming into this cycle, and that the GOP bench was particularly strong. I do not mind that the administration is changing party hands. I mind it going to a febrile pumpkin. You know who else has this problem? Much of the Republican party.

Yes Thiel had a vendetta against Gawker so he funded an unrelated lawsuit against them and used his billions to shut them down. The vendetta stemmed from the fact that the gay founder of Gawker found it horrifying that Thiel would hide his homosexuality when he should be a role model for other homosexuals that you can be gay and still be a rich and powerful VC. Whether or not you agree with Denton on that point, secretly funding unrelated lawsuits against small publications and shutting them down doesn't feel too morally courageous either. There are ways to get a sex tape removed from the Internet that don't involve permanently silencing an entire team of journalists by outspending them in lawsuits.
i don't have anything to add. and i dont know what SECT and JPMC are tbh.
I've run into this problem too. I think it has more to do with object lifetimes. Suppose you define your lambda in a method of a QWidget that's later destroyed. The underlying C++ object has been cleaned up already, but the signal's reference to the lambda is keeping the Python part of the QWidget alive. Then when the slot is triggered you get weird crashy behavior.

Heh, you're very welcome, and note that with an anodyne user ID like yours it took more for me to notice you, and, yeah, civility helps, and the lack of it is a key to understanding the changes in the US, which go back ... 100 years, maybe, the original Progressives?

I'm sure that just like the US examples just listed in my "loss of respect" list, I don't really follow at all the ones you list, except for adding the Torygraph to my list and no longer reading them.

"absurdly localist" ... well, that's like Obama referring to Sarah Palin, sitting Governor of a US state, as a mayor of a small town in that state. Except, of course, he was a Presidential candidate and that was more than a little disrespectful and polarizing. In fact, we could label pretty much 99% of the Establishment Feminists as "Feminist Deniers" based on their treatment of her, simply because she wasn't on their political team.

I have no idea about "popularity effects", and I don't follow any of the MSM over here besides my local paper, but I don't think that's it, I think the start of a better explanation over here, from Glenn "Instapundit" Reynolds is:

Just think of the media as Democrat operatives with bylines, and it all makes sense.

Except it's wider than that, as we saw when almost all of the GOPe, as well as much if not most if not almost all of the Right's Establishment Authorities (press), went all in against Trump. Who, if nothing else, we can thank for putting two particular political dynasties into the ash heap of history this year.
The urban bubble is definitely a problem. There are so many people who simply do not understand life outside of that bubble and who dismiss anyone not part of it. Their solution for most problems rural people have is "move to a city", which rural people who enjoy their way of life but may still suffer from some challenges understandably find offensive and dismissive. I say this as a somewhat left-leaning person who lives in an extremely rural area, in my own little bubble of mostly liberal people.

The thing is, however, that there are a lot of ignorant, racist and proud people in rural areas. Some of them are people I know. It can be overwhelmingly offensive being around them in groups as they reveal just how racist they actually are, with a smile and a laugh, either not caring how others might think about them or not realizing why what they just said is offensive. Go to a gas station or small store or mechanic around where I live and you'll encounter people standing around and talking about how Trump's going to round up all the Mexicans and Muslims and kick them out finally, or celebrating the fact that "Trump's going to finally lock up Hillary". So, I'm torn. It's a stereotype of rural life that people are ignorant and racist, but it does in fact describe a lot of people. And post-Trump, they've been emboldened to speak their mind more openly.

I'm tired of people ignoring what the article says and what the politician in question has said, so here is the tweet that was referenced in the article: https://twitter.com/realdonaldtrump/status/53260835850816716...

> Obama’s attack on the internet is another top down power grab. Net neutrality is the Fairness Doctrine. Will target conservative media.

That's a fairly clear indication that Trump is "for ending net neutrality" in my opinion.

Also, consider this from the article:

> To see how the Trump administration would approach zero rating, you might want to consider the name Jeffrey Eisenach. He's an economist, consultant, and longtime advocate of deregulating the telecoms industry — in other words, he's adamantly opposed to the current net neutrality rules. In October, Politico reported that he was advising the Trump campaign on its strategy toward net neutrality and other FCC-related issues.

If they're trying to innovate on gameplay, it makes sense that they reuse existing characters as much as possible.

Super Mario 64 was an exploration of platform games in 3d: it doesn't require Mario, but he's a very good fit.

On the other hand, some of their games have new characters, Splatoon is pretty much new characters (except maybe the squid guy from Mario Brothers?)
> stop saying Islam encourages terrorism

Any time I've seen a Muslim actually talk about the issue, and explain how Islam doesn't encourage terrorism, they are evasive, or outright deceptive. Show me a legitimate attempt to explain the "real underlying issues" that is neither of these things (and not just representative of a fringe group e.g heavily westernized Muslims).
The REAL Reason Trump Won the White House
It's the attention to non graphical details and the density of the game. In modern games, you have huge spaces, and little density in the gameplay. In old games you are doing simple things in a small space, but very regularly with more steaks: it has way more density.

And old game has the charm and personality of the current indy games, but the professionalism of the greats. It has a soul, even with no story, few pixels. It has an identity.

It's very rare to find a game that has that today, and this is what nintendo is still good at.

Remember the first time you woke up in the kokiri forest ? It was amazing. I tried it again. It is still amazing. With very few things, it shines, it lives.

Now the first time I come out of the bunker in Fallout 4 ? The first time I spawn in Skyrim ? Meh. Not bad, it was fun. But it was not unforgettable.

Now I know it is possible to make a great game, with a lot of space, fantastic graphism, and density, and a soul. But it's very rare.

That and the fact we are getting older, and we are partial to games we loved when we were younger :)
This model just doesn't work and that's exactly what the paper linked in the OP is about. Look at OpenSSL, everyone was (is) using it, one guy was maintaining it and barely earning a salary to do so.

Seriously, read the OP, it's well worth your time and makes an extremely solid case. It's both well-researched and well-written.
It's not "reckless experimentation" for "no gain" at all.

Here's a practical application for this research. Someone with a disease will eventually suffer from paralysis due to the degen. nature of the disease. Applying the technique from the research, we could record their body movements before they become paralyzed and then restore their ability to walk later.

I think that's a pretty real gain. Just because it's in a fledgling stage of research doesn't mean it's worthless. Medical research is a much longer timeline than even complex software. You make incredibly small baby steps precisely because you don't have tools like a debugger, logic analyzer, etc, etc.
Who cares what Trump thinks? It's all the people he's appointing. It's like he fooled his supporters the most by saying he's anti-establishment. Who thought any damage could come from George W. Bush? But now we're reaping the whirlwind of policies that we couldn't even imagine.

Rich Hickey: Hammock Driven Development
"The burden of research has always been on your shoulders, you just didn't realize it until now"

Bravo. I just wanted to add, critical thinking is also required(and always has been) I see articles that present a bunch of research, and then make claims that the research doesnt support. Ive even seen articles summarizing one paper, where the article completely gets it wrong. Recognizing the narrative/bias is important.

Unfortunately, this is hard. Even more so with the variety of sources. Lately I have been trying to follow individual publications and authors to better recognize their bias/narrative. Of course now I am missing out on other viewpoints :(

This is going to seem personally harsh--that's not my intention. But you're flatly wrong. Fundamentally, collecting observations is an active pursuit.

An example: We didn't start to learn about electricity until we started messing with it. That's because there was very little to observe passively. Touching electric fish, rubbing amber to make static electricity, flying a kite into a thunderstorm--these sorts of actions produced the early observations that started us down the path toward the knowledge we have today.

Your example was observing USB traces. In order to do that, you had to plug a well-understood sensor into a well-understood interface. You did something, and observed the results. You just think of it as passive observation because you're taking for granted the enormous amount of prior knowledge that made it possible.
Your smugness and arrogance are what brought us Trump. You know how people ought to feel, how they should form their opinion. By all means, keep doing what you're doing. Nothing wrong with your approach.

AI Predictions of Court Rulings Surprisingly Accurate
I don't understand how you're addressing my argument, but I'm arguing in favour of the concept of targeting a specific population to help them and saying that this approach is not bigoted. I'm not talking about the how, but about the why, and that there are lots of cases where this is justified. I agree that this approach can be badly implemented (maybe healthcare as in your example is one), but it is a useful tool in the right context. Examples: targeting immigrants to help them assimilate, or targeting kids in inner-city schools who don't have the resources of rich suburban school to help them get into college.
Eagle Eye
> History has a historically thin line between "these people are bad" and "these people are bad and we should round them up and kill them". When people actively use the rhetoric of the latter, I listen and grow concerned...

This makes sense. Sorry for being overly confrontational in my last post. I do agree that the language and tactics used by the far-left (which I'm very much a part of) can be silly or even slimy at times. I certainly took issue with the language that liberals used to describe conservatives in this most recent election.

Overall though, knowing quite a few people from college who are stereotypical SJWs, they are mostly harmless. A lot of them really do have a rough past, and aren't the privileged "special snowflakes" that the alt-right makes them out to be. Many people like the idea of a trigger warning, for example, because they really did experience something deeply traumatic, but you'll never discover that about them by hurling insults. And also many of these people tend to be socially awkward, and when I see people lashing out online about "tumblrinas" or whatever, it just feels like a continuation of the bullying that these people probably faced in childhood.
> I wasn't agreeing with the claims against Trump.

What claims aren't you agreeing with? That he's a liar? That he's arrogant? That he's a misogynist?

> The libs got to use to not having to back up their claims through a confirmation bias from their echo chamber.

Oh, you want libs to back up their claims? Have you seriously not seen Trump talk? OK, here goes:

Liar: [1] Just one out of hundreds of examples. Just look at PolitiFact.

Arrogant: [2] He considers his "tremendous success" a sacrifice comparable to a fallen soldier.

Misogynst: [3] Saying to a reporter: "You wouldn't have your job if you weren't beautiful. It's very sad isn't it?"

Disgusting: [2]

Looking at the results, I can agree that focusing on Michigan would have been more optimal, but to win I think she needed MI+WI+PA, so if she overfocused on PA and still didn't take it, broadening her effort may have lessened her loss but I don't think it would have been a path to victory.
