I did miss that. Was that article intended to support that view? The incidents listed don't seem to have been terribly well planned or executed, or to have garnered any positive results. That seems difficult to reconcile with the idea of a powerful media conspiracy.

And Adams has taken a hit in the pocketbook for what he's pointed out, besides being branded as an out-to-lunch loon. Good for notoriety, I supposed, but not so much for the feel-good motivational speaking gigs that he used to rake in.
At least one silver lining to the GOP/Trump change in the wind. I hope that we are able to find more as time goes on. As outrageous as Trump is and as much as I find him personally reprehensible I hope for at least a few welcome policy changes.
Good work. Wind Waker is a very beautiful game. I like that you discovered that using the boat as the origin point for the ocean/waves makes the rest of elevation computation that much easier.
Okay, I'll quote some more from the question:

Agreed, the skill to differentiate good and bad sources and get your world view from a combined set of sources, each having their own (known and accounted for biases) is key.
There is a gdb plugin for Python. I'm not sure how other distros handle it, but on Arch Linux you have to build Python yourself for it to work.

Well, $20 USD. Not sure what $ you mean.

If you aren't SSHing to boxes from a mobile device often enough that $20 doesn't seem worth it, then this likely isn't for you.

I for one would pay that at the drop of a hat if I only had a cell phone and my servers were down. It's certainly not much for an everyday productivity tool.

I'd definitely consider a fully emulated human brain another human, because by the premise that's fully emulated, it will also feel desires, and have survival instincts. That'd be another moral debate -similar to slavery-, because there will be people that would emphatize with them, and there will be others that will think they're just "machines".

But that's talk for another topic. On this case, you'd want to emulate only the physical functioning of our brain and body and not our minds.
NB filters "inappropriate" images from my feeds, which is annoying.
I am not saying there is a vast voter-fraud conspiracy, and those two links are not meant to be an exhaustive list; I included the Johnson link because it is so famous, and the more recent link to show that the phenomenon seems to persist. If there is widespread voter fraud, I would guess that it exists as a (large) number of relatively small operations, probably emanating from 'get-out-the-vote' campaigns.

I am not a 'team player' for any party, and take all allegations by candidates with a heaping mound of salt.
I think saying 'computation will never be __________' is usually just wrong. We have a decent understanding now of the complexity of a human body, and there's no technical limitation on putting a ton of supercomputers together to do what OP suggested. It's more of a matter of waiting until it's economically worth it.
Election Could Still Result in Trump-Clinton Tie: Analyst
The use case is the same, I want to run functions based on events from a variety of sources (API/DB/Storage). I just want to in particular run it on whatever hardware that I have which exposes a docker api, whether it be a computer in my room or in datacenter or cloud service. Most people do not care about having that flexibility, if someone is using software as a service usually they have already decided on using other cloud services as well and those who like to self host probably don't like the idea of having a service which has control over their machines.
Comparing Western journalism to Chinese censorship and its state run propaganda machine is disingenuous to say the least. I would suggest a thorough reading and contemplation of our freedoms [1] here before pulling out the propaganda/bias trope.

True. The change is that the liberals have the megaphone to a greater degree than they did before. Despite talk radio, the liberals have by far the majority of the media now.

> are you agreeing with _anything_ feminists are saying?

Nope. Women are well respected in society and now have more opportunities than men. There are many successful women, and women don't need a message from men saying that the system is rigged against them and they will not make it if they try.

When there are as many women taking computer science at university, and seeking work in the computer science industry, and the numbers don't reflect that, then its something we need to look at.
The only way you can do that is to employ real investigative journalists yourself, chase down the cold hard facts - CSI style and then build the case for every story from first principles with absolutely no bias. The question is, can you find journalists that can stand outside those facts and paint a compelling picture of what they are without bias?

Would you be able to raise enough of an income to pay those journalists what they would be worth? Could you get your news out there without it being crowded out by the propaganda machine at large?

It's a worthy idea, truly. Is it realistic? When you're up against the entire media establishment? You're going to be a very lonely salmon swimming up the world's largest waterfall - that's if you even manage to keep yourself out of the kind of trouble that you will bring upon yourself and keep yourself out of jail or perhaps even worse. Perhaps you'd end up having to defect to another country or live in a foreign embassy to retain some semblance of freedom.

I realize that's an extremely fatalist and cynical stance to take, but that's basically what you're up against.

I have zero understanding what would need to be undertaken in order to get there, I have no understanding of marketing or funding. I don't have the first clue how you would begin to take such a stand. But that doesn't mean it shouldn't be taken.
But the way the Republicans since the Tea Party take over in 2010 there's no push to raise taxes higher at the local level. In fact, the opposite is the case where many of them want to remove as many taxes locally as possible. This conflict of interest with the false assertion of their conservative localism is the heart of the issue I have with them (I would consider myself a liberal localist). If there ideology was consistent the absence of federal taxes but extensive local taxes would offset their proposals. This would allow them to pay for a social safety net that wouldn't falter. But right now they're refusing to do that. Maybe after they're challenged in the 2018 mid-terms maybe they'll go that direction but I seriously doubt it'll happen that way. I expect more corporate subsidies via tax exemptions/shelters/etc at the cost of general welfare of the states.
TTIP is probably dead as well:
http://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-election-eu-trade-idUS...
Only problem with that is that CETA is still on it's way, so there is still a possibility that the American corporations get what they wanted to have with TTIP.
It'd be neat to compare this with what the game is actually doing (maybe using the Dolphin emulator's debugger).
What Donald Trump Wants to Do in His First 100 Days
Not directly applicable your case, but I will try my best to aid you by giving you my experience.

I live in Singapore and I get very fast connections to some of the sites in China, such as taobao.com and zhihu.com, which I assued employed some additional mechanism to serve overseas users. In contrast, websites related baidu generally loads slower (>500ms), which I assume is because they have no need to serve overseas users. That's from a user's perspective.

I also have a VPS on DigitalOcean in Singapore region. It is accessible in China and relatively fast when I tried to ssh into it within China (<100ms).

My suggestion would be to get a consultant firm or tech firm that specializes in serving overseas users to get some insights on how to setup your infrastructure. Surely there are ways to it, Valve managed to stream Dota 2 Shanghai Major to millions of people outside China. But you need to start by really understanding how the Internet in China operates, not relying on prior knowledge of setting things up in other countries.
Yes but how do those convictions happen? If it comes from an interweb honeytrap, then it will give somewhat unbiased data. But I suspect a lot of people caught for possession are people at the fringes of a abuse case where the cops couldn't prove this individual actually abused someone, but could get them on the lesser crime.
This is a shame. Globalism is good for people overall, and the US has almost instantly lost a lot of credibility and influence in the region (especially in contrast to China).

Actually, it's the other way around. Monad tutorials are so frequent that it's become a meme among Haskellers that everyone will eventually write a monad tutorial to relay his own mental model of monads.

What are the top 3 reasons why you dislike Trump so much? And for each of them - can you think of reasons why Trump supporters don't feel the same?
Could you use such a model to do sequence labeling? For example, I have a text document such as a financial document and I want to detect where in that document it states that a "stock split" will occur, or "share repurchase" and how much. This seems like a good approach given that it learns context. I know there are NER methods, but this is slightly different. I want to train a model to recognize specific events. The best I can do right now is a regex.
I wonder if this would have helped Hillary if they did this a few months ago.
I'm not so sure I'd say that's an App Store problem. There are ways around requiring purchases sight-unseen. Unless I'm mistaken, you can have a 'lite' version as a separate app, or you can have in-app purchases to unlock the full version.

That's a recipe for further division. We're going to end up with two populations with completely disjoint Overton Windows, and even worse, they won't be geographically disjoint. We'll have two choices; try to bring things back together somewhere in the middle, or bloody and violent civil war.
> Isn't it fair to say that a community that loves to say "X isn't <good attribute> but it doesn't need to be!" is just showing disinterest in evolving? There will always be a point if you pat yourself on the back too much about your one big advantage, where you find yourself with increasingly less of an advantage. Your disinterest in improving caused you to stagnate and suddenly there is no advantage anymore.

The same criticism could be leveled at Python with regard to the GIL and JIT (or lack-thereof). CPython lacks these mechanisms because Guido prefers to keep the official implementation simple. When it comes down to it, a language is based on what maintainers want to do.
Regex libraries often distinguish between a string containing a regex, and matching it.

The string "aaaa" is a Regular Expression that describes a language with exactly one string: "aaaa".

Some regular expression libraries have two operations: They can tell you if a string contains a match somewhere within it, or is exactly a match. Some other libraries only do the first operation, and you need to explicitly ask for "^aaaa$" to get an exact match.

This is one of the things on the differences between the formal definition of a Regular Expression, and a regex library.
Not all subreddits behave that way, and is one of the reason why I looked at 100 different subreddits.

A syscall is a lot cheaper than shown here in terms of direct costs ~ 150 cycles, and also a lot more expensive, depending on the call, when you factor in the full cost of the cache that gets clobbered. More like the full cost of a context switch shown, around 10-30K cycles[1]. For this reason it's important to use system calls that allow you to amortize more work into one call, like preadv, pwritev, recvmmsg, and sendmmsg.

New trade agreements can be negotiated with a broader set of government, corporate and civil society stakeholders, with early public transparency when possible.

NAFTA 1.0 is likely to be re-opened. One outcome could be that sensible provisions in TPP find their way into NAFTA 2.0, while parts of NAFTA 1.0 are removed. TPP was a giveaway to a narrow set of special interests. If it is renegotiated, it will at a minimum include a larger set of stakeholders. This time around, there will be a high level of public scrutiny.

Donald Trump himself has asserted on his own Twitter account that these protests are illegal.

And as for hypocrisy, you're making a generalization that everyone co-signed your claimed statement from the start. Show me where every protester in question agreed to the claim you've made. If you're not psychic I'm going to assume you can also do a poll. I'll bet you'll see none of them agreed to your claim. So how about you admit you grossly generalized as a means to silence others and then maybe we can talk legitimate concerns.
With a background in Economics - I've always been inclined to support free trade deals. Granted it's one thing to theoretically say they're great, and another to say it to the face of someone who's lost their job because of it.

Cheaper goods help the American people in aggregate - but they disproportionately hurt certain swathes of the population, primarily those who work in manufacturing and related fields. One has a large intangible benefit spread out - another has a very tangible human face to it.

A lot of the people who frequent this site are against the TPP because of its copyright and intellectual property provisions.
Honestly me too. I'd rather us dictate trade in the Pacific than let China set the terms. That's really what this is about. Globalisation is happening regardless of whether people want it or not. It is all about who sets the terms though.

Wow, I hope to see a lot more of these in the future. It was a great read.
It's humorous in the least that you would pull out Wikipedia as a source for such a comment about censorship given the well known and documented behaviour of their moderators.

I don't think it's disingenuous in the slightest. I'm not arguing that the Chinese state run propaganda machine isn't bad... but have you got any first hand experience of it? Do you have any clue about it that you haven't learned from other sources? Can you trust those sources? I'm pretty well read and I don't know anything as fact any further than I did before I started reading. All I know is what other people present as evidence. I had no hand in collecting the evidence, I have no proof the evidence hasn't been tampered with or is even true. Do you?

Unless you have first hand experience, what do you actually know for sure?

This is my point.
First, we have to be really carefully to separate 'is' from 'ought' reasoning. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Is%E2%80%93ought_problem)

We can not get an `ought' from `is` statements alone. But we can derive a complex or interesting `ought' from a simple `ought' and a bunch of `is' statements.

I want a tax system that can finance a welfare state without burdening the real economy. I care about real gdp, low unemployment and to a small extent equality of after-tax income. I don't care about `storage of wealth': the private sector takes care of that just fine.

Given those `oughts' and a bunch of standard orthodox text book economics, you get a free market laissez faire economy and a state financed by land value tax as a good first order answer. Land value taxes do not disturb the ecomony, since land is a perfectly inelasticly supplied good. (See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tax_incidence for who actually ends up paying for taxes on goods and services, and for who can pass them on, and to what degree. It's all about elasticity.)

As a minor point, you want to add some sin taxes like eg carbon and alcohol tax, where you actually actively want the change to demand and supply that the tax causes: less carbon dioxide release, less alcohol consumed.

I don't see how agrarian or industrial development era makes a difference here. Eg Australia is an advanced economy, but relies on resource extraction and agriculture a lot, and a land value tax would make sense for them too. (They actually have one on the books, but it's mostly toothless with a small base and low rates.)

Ultimately, thermodynamics might be able to explain a lot about biology, society and economics. Alas, I don't think that science has advanced well enough for that grounding, yet; yet alone our laymen's understanding of it. Mostly, the thermodynamics that we have a good handle on is equilibrium thermodynamics, or at best near-equilibrium. Economies are thermodynamically very open systems with matter, energy and entropy flowing in and out. (Even in the confusingly similarly named `economic equilibrium'.)

And in any case, such a re-interpretation must `save the phenomena'. Ie just like the statistical mechanics explanation of thermodynamics makes the same predictions as the older macro-scale traditional thermodynamics.

> Where the reasoning really decouples for me however, is residential real estate. There, I would have expected pricing to essentially follow median wages.

I would expect land prices to follow basically average disposable income:

Basically, people use their income left over after taxes, groceries etc to bid up all available residential land for either paying rent or paying mortgages on. This sets the monthly cost of land, and a look at the prevailing interest rate on mortgages will tell you the value: monthly cost per square metre * 12 / yearly interest rate == capital value per square metre

(Where a eg 2% interest rate goes into the calculation as 0.02, ie a multiplicative factor of 50.)

>The idea of a unified "ruling class" is laughable. The current president is constantly at odds with the political party that controls the Senate and the House of Representatives.

Sort of. Not really. The political parties do represent different power factions.

But they are unified in the sense that people in the "deep state" - mid-high level bureaucrats, academia, and the media have more in common with each other than they do with you and me. And anything that threatens their collective control will be dealt with more harshly than they deal with each other.
Globalism is good overall, yes, but it is very bad for certain subgroups. Everyone else has been benefiting at the expense of blue collar workers in developed countries.
If it exists in both places at an institutional level is not false equivalency.

The west has no shortage of propaganda. media complicity, censorship, and legislation drafted up in the name of "national security." You yourself admitted as much.

Please tell us by which objective measure are you referring to? You mention "by any objective measure.", please enumerate what those "any" are.

Take a look at https://github.com/awslabs/chalice. IMO it's better than zappa if you are Python-centric. As you can tell from the name, it strives to be the Lambda-based equivalent of Flask.

One tip regarding your workflow: don't pipe data from S3 to Lambda to your client unless you really have to. You can use S3 pre-signed URLs to granularly delegate access to S3 objects for a limited time, then refer your client to them. Even if you are generating the binary content on the fly in your lambda, it's easier to save it to S3 and refer the client to that. That said, if your content is truly too dynamic to live on S3, then gzip+base64 encoding it, serving it in json and decoding/displaying it in javascript should be straightforward.

Exactly. Calling a virtual function in a tight loop, almost indistinguishable from a direct (non-inlined) function call. Calling a virtual function every now and then, much more expensive, but also not as likely to matter much to the performance of your program on the whole anyway.

Still worth noting that every VM like Java or .NET or LuaJIT will optimize for the case that a virtual call usually has only one or two commonly invoked target functions. They will use a conditional fast-path for the common case(s) and fall back to slower virtual calls or less optimized paths for megamorphic calls. I don't know if any C++ compilers do this kind of thing, but I would be surprised if they did not.
